Keira looked at Lewis in disbelief, only to see him grab her hand. āKeira, before Grandma passed away, she might have had only one regret.ā
āWhat regret?ā
āThat she never got to see our child.ā
Keira was speechless.
Seeing Lewis finally able to joke, Keira understood that the atmosphere was getting a bit heavy.
She smiled and said, āLewis, from now on, can we live happily every day? Letās make sure Grandma rests easy.ā
āAlright.ā
āThen letās go. Come with me to the kitchen, and weāll cook something for her!ā
Keira tugged Lewis downstairs, and as they reached the bottom, they spotted Oliver cleaning the floor, pinching his nose in disgust.
In high spirits, Keira shouted, āGrandma, weāre going to make you lunch!ā
Old Mrs. Horton looked at them. āHuh? Who are you two?ā
Keira just smiled and pulled Lewis into the kitchen.
The two of them prepared a lavish lunch for her.
By the time they served the food, Marisa and Selena had arrived. Over the past few days, the rest of the family had stayed around. It seemed like they were trying to get on old Mrs. Hortonās good side, hoping to secure the shares she controlled.
Everyone was on their best behavior, especially Marisa and Selena, who went out of their way to be attentive, practically ready to feed old Mrs. Horton themselves.
Old Mrs. Horton was living quite comfortably.
Five days passed like this, and one morning, as Keira came downstairs, she overheard Nathan talking. āMom, Uncle Julius is coming to visit today. You should see him.ā
āMy second brother-in-law? Of course, I want to see him,ā old Mrs. Horton said with a smile.
Nathan followed up, āSince Uncle Julius will be here, how about we revise the will while heās around?ā
āWhy change it?ā old Mrs. Horton asked. āEverything of mine is going to you and my eldest grandson anyway, right?ā
Oliver grinned. āTrue, but weād still like to make a few adjustments. Would that be alright?ā
āFine, fine, go ahead and change it,ā old Mrs. Horton agreed.
Nathan smiled in satisfaction, but when he glanced at Keira and Lewis, the smile disappeared from his face.
Oliver, standing nearby, lifted his chin slightly and threw a smug look at Lewis as if boasting.
Soon, Julius Horton arrived.
He was getting on in years, and the last time he visited was when old Mrs. Horton had fallen ill. This time, he had driven all the way from their hometown, taking a full day to get there.
When he entered, he looked a little worn out. Upon seeing Lewis and Keira seated further away while Nathan and Oliver were sitting close to old Mrs. Horton, he paused for a moment.
In the past, old Mrs. Horton only had eyes for Lewis. When did the first branch start getting this kind of attention?
As Julius was still puzzling over this, Oliver stepped forward with a smile. āSir, perfect timing! Grandmaās memory isnāt what it used to be. She only recognizes us now and doesnāt remember Lewis anymore.ā
Julius frowned in confusion and turned to old Mrs. Horton. āSister-in-law, do you still recognize me?ā
āOf course!ā old Mrs. Horton chuckled. āJulius, youāre here!ā
Julius pointed to Lewis. āThen how come you donāt recognize him? Heās your favorite grandson!ā
Following his gesture, old Mrs. Horton glanced over at Lewis. She furrowed her brows. āWhose child is this? Heās quite the handsome one! Even better looking than my eldest grandson!ā
Lewis sighed, exasperated.
Oliverās face fell.
Julius frowned deeply. āWhatās going on? Why doesnāt she recognize Lewis?ā
Nathan jumped in to explain, āUncle, hereās the thing. Ever since we moved to Clance, Lewis has been chasing after his fiancĆ©e and hasnāt been home much. And with Momās condition, the less she sees someone, the harder it is for her to remember. Meanwhile, Oliver, his wife, and their daughter have been here every day, taking care of her. Naturally, sheās become more fond of them.ā
The implication was clearāNathan was accusing Lewis of not taking proper care of old Mrs. Horton.
Keiraās expression darkened.
When they first moved to Clance, Lewis had indeed stayed with her at the Olsen residence and later at the South familyās. But whenever he wasnāt with her during the day, he would return home to spend time with old Mrs. Horton. How could Nathan claim he hadnāt been looking after her?
Nathan was too old to still be playing these manipulative games.
As Keira fumed, Julius turned to Oliver. āYouāre the ones taking care of her? And whatās this about your āwife and daughterā? Isnāt it supposed to be your wife and son?ā
At those words, Marisa and Selena froze, their expressions stiff.
Oliver cleared his throat. āMelissa and Jake werenāt exactly behaving, so I kicked them out. Thatās why my relationship with Grandma wasnāt great before.ā
