My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire -
Chapter 234
234 Background
Keira looked at Lewis in surprise.
When he came, he had casually mentioned that
Madeleine had saved his life, but he hadn’t shared the
details.
Had it also been a case of abduction and trafficking…?
Only, unlike her own situation, had he nearly been
killed at the time?
If that were the case, then this would indeed be considered a life-saving grace.
No wonder Lewis was so accommodating toward
Madeleine.
While she was thinking, Lewis had already started to speak, his voice deep and gentle, with a hint of tenderness. “Sorry, I misspoke.”
He still held Keira’s hand tightly, his eyes having a complicated emotion as he looked at Madeleine, and explained earnestly, “I thought that a childhood promise is still a promise. Although I don’t love you, could stay unmarried for a lifetime, and be there for

you when you need me, but I didn’t expect to have a marriage arrangement with Keira, nor did I expect to fall in love with her. I’ve thought about this for a long
time.”
He spoke slowly, with deliberate pauses. “Between you and her, I’m destined to let one down, so I choose her.
“Miss Davis, I won’t come to see you anymore, and you don’t have to call me either. I won’t stop paying your medical expenses, and you can ask the director for anything you need. Besides companionship, I’ll try to meet all your material needs!”
Upon hearing this, Madeleine’s face turned pale.
After leaving those words, he didn’t give Madeleine a chance to speak any further and pulled Keira away.
Keira left the hospital room with him, and suddenly, the desperate, heartbreaking cries of Madeleine came
from behind them.
Unfortunately, Lewis never looked back.
Keira was no saint; she didn’t feel pity for Madeleine and only found her pitiful.
And the reason Lewis, a responsible man, was so

heartlessly rejecting Madeleine at this moment was because of his deep affection for Keira.
She looked at Lewis holding her hand and squeezed back firmly.
She thought, as long as Lewis didn’t let go of her hand, perhaps she would never let go of his hand in this lifetime…
The two left the hospital and drove away.
On the road, Lewis’s phone kept ringing.
Lewis glanced at it and then blocked Madeleine’s
number.
A little while later, the director called him…
Lewis answered, and the director’s voice came
through. “Mr. Horton, Miss Davis is trying to kill hersel again!”
Lewis said indifferently, “The patient is yours. I’m not a
doctor.”
The director was startled.
Lewis’s gaze remained fixed ahead. “Don’t come to me again in the future…”

“Right? Okay, okay.”
The director seemed surprised by his cold response, but after the shock, he soon said yes.
Keira didn’t say anything but went home with him.
After parking the car, they sneaked a peek at old Mrs. Horton, and, seeing that she was sleeping soundly, they returned to the bedroom.
Keira was about to go to the guest bedroom but was caught by Lewis’s tight grasp.
The man looked deeply into her eyes. “Keira, tonight let’s become real husband and wife.”
Keira’s pupils shrank, and her heartbeat suddenly began to race!
They were both adults. Of course, she understood
what Lewis meant…
But to start sharing a bed with him tonight?
Keira suppressed the shyness in her, coughed, and
decided to follow her own desires. She then turned her head, her face flushing red. “Okay.”
She entered Lewis’s room, a bit coyly.

Just as she entered, the door behind her slammed shut,
and immediately the man embraced her tightly.
Keira was startled.
He was already so impatient?
Just as she thought about this, she sensed that something was off.
The man was merely holding her tight, burying his head in the crook of her shoulder without any further
moves.
She breathed a sigh of relief, then heard the man laugh and say, “Keira, I’m very happy today.”
Keira was also very happy.
She hadn’t expected that Lewis would take such
decisive action; she hadn’t even brought up Madeleine and he had already made up his mind.
That was quite good…
Keira wrapped her arms around his waist, feeling his heartbeat. “I’m very happy too.”
That was Lewis’s way of confessing his love to her,
wasn’t it?

That night, there was no substantial progress between the two; they just held each other and slept.
Keira could feel his restraint and self-control, as she stifled a laugh.
Actually, she wasn’t quite ready mentally and thought it was better to take things slow.
Early the next day.
Mr. Horton from the second branch came to join old Mrs. Horton for breakfast.
Hearing that Lewis and Keira hadn’t yet gotten up, old Mrs. Horton immediately smiled so wide her eyes nearly disappeared.
They went out together last night, and after returning they both entered Lewis’s room. That was what Fiona informed her first thing in the morning.
Now, she was truly delighted from the bottom of her
heart!
Mr. Horton couldn’t help but frown. “Sister-in-law, the elders are at home, and your granddaughter-in-law is
still not un this late does she usually respect you?”

He was worried Keira might neglect old Mrs. Horton.
Old Mrs. Horton immediately said “Brother-in-law, that kind of talk is too much. When young folks sleep a lot, they should sleep more! Besides, I’ve told you, my granddaughter-in-law is remarkable, not just dutiful and kind, but also not someone to be trifled with. Normally, she even helps me look after Lewis. I’m one hundred percent satisfied with this
granddaughter-in-law!”
Seeing old Mrs. Horton speak like this, Mr. Horton also calmed down. “It’s good as long as she’s dutiful. But there’s one aspect of your granddaughter-in-law that’s not so great.”
Old Mrs. Horton grew unhappy. “What’s not so great
“Her background isn’t quite up to par. I heard she’s from a middle-class family in Oceanion?”
Mr. Horton let out a soft sigh. “The first branch of the family, that illegitimate daughter, although she flatters you insincerely, is now about to enter into a marriage alliance with the Cobb Family in Clance. If the Cobb Family in Clance supports the first branch, then Lewis will be under greater pressure. I can’t expect Lewis’s

wife to come from those five prestigious families in Clance, but if she could come from even any top-tier prestigious family, it could really help Lewis out. This marriage is just this one area where we’re at a disadvantage!”
Old Mrs. Horton knew that Mr. Horton wasn’t mocking Keira but rather feeling regret, yet she rebuked, “You can’t say such things in front of my
granddaughter-in-law. No one is perfect. Do you think that brat is any good? My granddaughter-in-law is excellent in all areas, which makes up for her less-than-ideal background!”
Mr. Horton sighed, unconcerned.
A marriage alliance in rich families was also a means joining forces.
If only Keira’s background could have been a bit higher…
As they spoke, Keira and Lewis walked out of the bedroom after freshening up.
Just as they exited, Fiona came in from outside, holding a box that she handed to Keira. “Madam, this was sent over by Uncle Olsen early this morning…”

Keira glanced at it and immediately froze.
The logo on the box was that of a luxury jewelry brand.
But… Just yesterday, she mentioned to the handsome uncle that gifts for younger family members could
include jewelry, and today Uncle Olsen had sent over a box of jewelry?
Could it be such a coincidence? Or could it be…
