Chapter 248
Keira was taken aback. “South?”
She actually shared the same surname as Mrs. Olsen.
Was this a coincidence? Or…?
The woman nodded, “My surname is South, and Keethrina is my first name. It was fine when I was little, but as I grew up, everyone started calling me
Keera.”
Keera… Keira…
No wonder her sister said they were fated.
The woman in front of her had clear eyes, and the look she gave Keira was so tender that it was hard for Keira not to feel her goodwill.
From her childhood, she had been strong-minded and
(
resilient, without any defense against this kind of
soft-hearted woman.
Just as Keira was about to speak, Keera said, “Keira, I’ve told you everything I can. Can you trust me now?”
Her eyes were timid, filled with urgency.
Keira pursed her lips and nodded slightly.
Keera’s face lit up. “Then don’t go get a divorce!”
But Keira just chuckled bitterly. “At this point, the marriage is no longer under my control.”
Keera was stunned. “Is there really no room for
reconciliation?”
“No.”
Keira lowered her gaze, a hint of sadness flashing
her eyes.
Just yesterday, Lewis had tried to weasel out of it, insisting he didn’t have the documents despite having brought them.
Yet just now, he had taken the initiative to send her a
message.
The bitter smile faded from Keira’s face, and she lifted
her head only to see Keera’s expression filled with anxious worry as if danger was impending.
She couldn’t help but ask, “What exactly are you afraid
of?”
Keera nervously clenched and unclenched her fingers, releasing and then gripping again…
After several repetitions, she seemed on the verge of
tears. “I, I can’t say…”
Keira frowned and then glanced at the time. It was getting closer to when she had arranged to have lunch with the handsome uncle, and she looked at Keera. “Will you come with me to see Mom?”
Upon hearing this, Keera immediately shook her head.
She hurriedly put on her mask and hat, a trace of disappointment in her eyes. “I can’t go. If I meet he it’ll put her in danger. Keira, remember, there are dangers in this world that you can’t even imagine waiting for you. Beg Lewis one more time. If it’s possible not to get a divorce, don’t do it. If he
disagrees, you can go find old Mrs. Horton, she likes
you…”
Keera was on the verge of tears as if she was mired in
despair, but the next moment, Keira’s warm hand
grasped her wrist.
Keera halted, and she looked toward Keira.
Keira then said, “Don’t be scared. There will always be a way, and everything will work out in the end. I’ll remember your warning.”
Keera’s panic gradually subsided under her resolute
gaze.
Keira continued. “I don’t know what troubles you have, but if you need help, you can tell me.”
Keera opened her mouth to speak, but in the end, she just patted Keira on the shoulder. “Keira, I’m the older sister. I should be the one to protect you.”
Upon hearing these words, Keira felt a warmth in
heart.
This delicate woman actually said she would protect
her…
She patted Keera on the shoulder, smiled, and looked down. “Okay, then… thank you, Sister.”
The word “sister” made Keera flush.
She shyly lowered her head. “No, there’s no need to
thank me.”
Then, seeing how Keira kept glancing at the time, Keera said, “You have things to do, you should go. I
also need to rush home.”
She checked the time and said, “I have to pick up my daughter from school at five in the afternoon.”
Keira nodded. “Alright, you go first.”
“See you.”
Elsewhere.
Outside the courthouse.
Tom brought all the things Lewis had asked for. As soon as the car stopped, he saw his boss standing at the front of the parking lot waiting for him.
Upon seeing Tom, Lewis immediately walked over. “Have you brought everything?”
Tom said, “Boss, if I remember correctly, didn’t you schedule to meet with Keira at two in the afternoon,
not at noon?”
It was only eleven-thirty now, so what was the rush?!
Lewis glanced at him indifferently and walked directly to the back of his car, opened the trunk, and then said, “Stop talking and just bring the things over.”
Tom immediately carried two boxes over. “Boss, I specifically asked when I bought these. They can decorate it for you. Just drive your car over, and this…”
“It’s more meaningful to do it myself.”
Lewis answered briefly and then opened the box to look at the white and pink balloons inside.
He took out an air pump and started inflating each balloon. He then took out double-sided tape to
connect them together.
While inflating the balloons, Lewis thought about the surprise set-up in the trunk he had seen online.
A smile crept onto the corner of his lips.
“I wonder if Keira will be surprised when she sees all
these romantic settings.
“With her boldness, surprises are likely out of the
question.
–
“Only delight, right?”
With this thought, Lewis blew up the balloons with even more vigor. When he had enough, he finally stood up and took out a box from his pocket.
He opened the box.
Inside, there was the jade ring.
He hung the ring on a red string and then tied it to a balloon. The balloon was a helium one, capable of floating in the air.
He placed the balloon in the trunk, locking it into the lid of the trunk.
In this way, once the trunk was opened, one could see a trunk full of pink and white balloons, beautiful rose and some lights…
Thinking of this, Lewis cleared his throat and said, “Your big brother is here to pick you up and take you
home.”
After saying this, he chuckled softly.
He felt somewhat embarrassed.
Lewis sighed quietly to himself and then suddenly
realized something. He slowly turned his head and saw Tom and the driver standing not too far away, looking at him as if they had seen a ghost.
As he looked at them, Tom and the driver immediately shifted their gaze in the most obvious manner of guilty
parties.
Tom said, “Hey, guess what? I suddenly had ringing in my ears just now. I didn’t hear a thing.”
The driver seemed particularly simple and honest. “Mr. Davis, do you have ringing in your ears? I just had a sudden onset of deafness! I have to go to the hospital after work to get it checked out!”
Tom thought, “You win!”
Lewis didn’t know what to say.
Fragrance Hall.
Uncle Olsen was sitting in Room 8, with Ellis accompanying him.
The two of them quietly stared at the door of the private room.
Uncle Olsen glanced at the time; it was already noon.
It seemed like his young friend
– S
going to be late.
Outside.
Mrs. Olsen got out of her own car. She looked at the name Fragrance Hall and smiled faintly as she entered and headed toward private Room 8.
Her head was bowed, and she debated inwardly
whether to wait for Keira…
But upon looking at the time and realizing Keira was already late, as a mother, she should entertain the
guest to some extent. She couldn’t let the guest wait too long in the private room; it would be too impolite.
Thus, Mrs. Olsen pushed the door open…
Inside the room.
Upon hearing the door open, Uncle Olsen paused f moment and then looked up. As soon as he saw that familiar figure at the door, a figure that appeared countless times in his dreams, he was stunned!!
He swiftly pulled back his chair and stood up.
When Mrs. Olsen saw him, her pupils contracted
slightly!
After more than twenty years, age had left its mark on Uncle Olsen, but he still looked the same as in her
memories!
