BXBX NOVEL Chapter 459
Keira immediately said, “Have a little more. You are eating for two now.”
Mary gave a bitter smile. “I don’t have an appetite.”
Keira sighed. “Alright then… go get rest.”
Mary pursed her lips and finally looked out the window before she said, “Keera, can you…”
“Yes, I will send him away right now.”
Keira stood up, walked to the door, picked up an
umbrella, and went straight into the heavy rain, where
she reached Ellis, and let out a silent sigh.
Ellis was already soaked to the bone.
The cool wind blew against him, but he seemed to feel nothing.
Keira said, “Ellis, are you forcing Mary?”
Ellis paused. “I’m not.”
Keira then lowered her eyes. “By standing here, aren’t you forcing her or me to let you in?”
Ellis looked at her with hopeful eyes. “So can I come
in…”
“You can’t.”
Keira coldly refused.
She said, “You being here distracts Mary. She just had a miscarriage; her body is weak and needs proper rest. Are you sure you still want to be here?”
Ellis was taken aback.
Keira sighed. “At the very least, give her some more time to think about it. This happened just yesterday,
and you’re already pressuring her to forgive you today,

Ellis’s fingers tightened.
After a moment, he slowly raised his head to look toward the second floor.
There, a figure appeared at the window, but it was only a shadow.

Lewis looked down at her without speaking.
He had said he would walk every step of the way with her from now on.
These few steps were part of that journey, too.
He reached out to tousle Keira’s hair, smiled gently, placed the umbrella aside, then nudged his chin toward Keira’s back.
Keira turned around and saw Ellis holding the umbrella, already silently turning around to walk toward the doorway.
She breathed a sigh of relief. “If he really stood here all night, Mary definitely wouldn’t be able to sleep, especially since right now she’s already overthinking things. I’m genuinely worried about her child…”
This child really had a hard fate.

Lewis was surprised.

“Either is fine. Do you prefer a boy or a girl?”

Keira rolled her eyes and glanced at him. “Mr. Horton, do you know what you look like right now?”
“What?”
“A”A lovesick boy.”
Lewis chuckled but still followed her. “Lovesickness is ththe best betrothal gift a man can have.”

“No,” Lewis’s voice was hoarse. “I can’t help it.”
Keira was dumbfounded.

She was held by Lewis, moving from the sofa to the bed, until finally, she felt so exhausted that she couldn’t even move her fingers.
Lewis still held her tightly.
She shifted slightly, sighed, and said, “Go to bed, you big romantic.”
Keira was so tired that she closed her eyes, seemingly about to fall asleep any second. Lewis couldn’t help but laugh silently.
After all the day’s events, he figured she’d overthink with her whimsical nature, so it might be better to get some exercise to help her sleep.
He lay beside her and suddenly got up, taking his phone to the balcony, and dialed Tom’s number,

“Check on the Gill family for me…”
Tom immediately asked, “Check for what?”
Lewis’s eyes darkened, “Everything.”
Tom was taken aback, carefully asking, “And then?”
“Acquire it.”

“Boss, Horton Group can’t take over the Gill family. Are you going to use overseas power?”
Lewis stared into the darkness ahead, its uncertainty resembling an unknown danger. His voice was indifferent. “Yes.”
His tone was as if he was buying a hamburger. “Got it.”
Tom’s response was also straightforward. “But Boss, didn’t you say before you wouldn’t touch domestic families? Are you not afraid of exposing your identity by doing this now?”
Lewis sneered, “That’s for you to worry about.”
