706 Chapter 705
When Lewis heard those words, his face darkened.
Keira let out a small laugh. Oh, so this is how they were going to treat her?
Old Mrs. Horton frowned and snapped, ā I was wondering why you were acting so kind, and now I see. Selena, let me tell you something: a bastard child will always be a bastard child. Donāt think you can just take over whatās not yours. I may not be Jakeās biggest fan, but at least heās my legitimate great-grandson. And you? I havenāt even acknowledged you!ā
Selenaās face went pale with anger.
Old Mrs. Horton waved a hand. āIām tired. You can leave.ā
Selena took a deep breath, clearly wanting to say something, but before she could, Keira stepped forward with a cold smile. āAre you walking out on your own, or do I need to throw you out?ā
Selena stood up straight and glared at Keira. āIāll go on my own.ā
She shot Keira a nasty look as she stormed out. When she passed by Lewis, she couldnāt help but say, āUncle Lewis, Eve didnāt marry Jake. Sheās still in love with you. Maybe you should think about thatā¦ā
āGet out.ā
Lewis said the words so coldly that Selena actually flinched before rushing out of the house.
Old Mrs. Horton overheard the exchange and turned, smiling when she saw Lewis and Keira. āOh, you two are back.ā
āYeah,ā Lewis replied.
Keira walked over and handed old Mrs. Horton an apple.
Old Mrs. Horton looked at it but then pointed to the watermelon on the table. āIād rather have some of that.ā
Keira chuckled softly.
At this point, old Mrs. Horton could eat whatever she wanted. The doctors had already said there was no point in restricting her diet anymore, so Keira didnāt bother arguing. She fed her a piece of watermelon instead.
Old Mrs. Horton smiled after taking a bite. āItās always sweeter when you feed me! That Selena, thoughāugh, she makes me sick! Trying to stir up trouble like that. Doesnāt she know who sheās messing with?ā
She took Keiraās hand and motioned for Lewis to come closer.
Lewis stepped forward. āGrandma?ā
Old Mrs. Horton looked at him seriously. āYou two must take care of each other, okay?ā
Lewis nodded.
Old Mrs. Horton added, āEven when Iām gone, donāt be sad, you hear me?ā
Lewisās face fell. āGrandma, donāt talk like that.ā
Old Mrs. Horton just smiled. āItās going to happen eventually, honey. But with Keira by your side, I can rest easy.ā
She patted his hand before turning to Keira. āKeira, my grandsonās had a rough life. Heās a littleā¦ difficult sometimes, but I hope you can be patient with him.ā
Keira smiled and nodded. āGrandma, thatās not fair. My husband is amazing.ā
She glanced over at Lewis as she spoke.
Sure enough, the heaviness in Lewisās expression softened, and he gave her a gentle, loving look.
Old Mrs. Horton saw their exchange and couldnāt help but grin. She cleared her throat. āYou two havenāt had lunch yet, right? Letās go eat something.ā
Keira joked, āGrandma, I didnāt cook today, so it might not taste as good!ā
Old Mrs. Horton laughed. āYouāve spoiled me! My taste buds are used to your cooking now.ā
āIāll make you something special tonight!ā
After a cheerful meal, old Mrs. Horton went to take a nap.
Keira and Lewis were about to take care of some things when Oliver came storming in, his face red with anger. The moment he saw Lewis, he opened his mouth to speak, but Lewis cut him off. āIf youāve got something to say, letās talk outside.ā
Oliver glanced at old Mrs. Hortonās room, then turned and walked out.
Keira followed behind them, sensing something was off.
The second they stepped outside, Oliver exploded. āWas it you? Did you tell Grandma to kick Selena out? Donāt forget, sheās not just your grandma, sheās mine too!ā
Lewis just stared at him. āAnd?ā
āAnd starting tomorrow, Selena and Marisa are going to be checking in on Grandma morning and night.ā
Lewisās jaw tightened, his eyes narrowing.
Back when Jake and Melissa were still around, at least Melissa had some dignity and stopped visiting after Grandma snubbed her a few times. But Marisa and Selena? They had no shame, and apparently, they could take any kind of rejection.
No wonder Oliver was completely under their control.
Lewis looked down. āGrandma likes her peace and quiet.ā
āThatās just an excuse!ā Oliver sneered. āIf she likes quiet so much, why does she let you and Keira in to bother her?ā
He paused, noticing Erin standing nearby, clearly eavesdropping. His face turned red with anger. āAnd whyās there some random outsider living here?ā
Erin blinked innocently and didnāt look guilty at all. Instead, she grinned, cracked open a pistachio, and waved at Oliver. āI like it here. So what?ā
Oliverās face went even redder.
He turned back to Lewis, his voice rising. āYou may run this house, but that doesnāt mean you get to treat me like this! Iām telling you, if you donāt agree to let my people see Grandma, Iāll make a scene!ā
He stepped closer, eyes blazing. āGrandmaās not just yours. If you donāt let my people in, Iāll start yelling right here and now. You think Grandma will be able to rest with all that noise?ā
Lewisās face hardened.
Oliver smirked, turning back toward the house. āSo, youāre not going to agree? Fine. Iāll go wake Grandma up right now and ask her if she ever really wanted me as her grandson!ā
