Mrs. Olsen turned to look at her, “What?”

Isla, who was following behind them, immediately tensed and clenched her fists upon hearing this.

She stepped forward, wanting to interrupt their conversation, “Mom, Keira, I…” “Your matter can wait.” Mrs. Olsen cut her off and then turned to Keira. “What did you just say?”

Keira took it seriously. “Mrs. Olsen, I don’t want to hide it from you. You can kick Poppy out of the house. I’m not Taylor’s daughter…”

Before she could finish, Mrs. Olsen suddenly blacked out and collapsed!

“Mrs. Olsen!”

Keira was shocked.

“Mrs. Olsen is just tired. There’s nothing to worry about. A good rest will do,” said old Mrs. Horton’s family doctor after examining Mrs. Olsen.

Keira immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Old Mrs. Horton patted her arm. “You’re just too nervous! Isn’t your mom in her forties now? She’s still young. There won’t be any problems.”

After finishing, she frowned. “But your mother is too thin and too weak; she needs to eat more meat!”

Keira smiled bitterly and was about to explain when a shrill voice came from the side, “Great-grandma, that’s my mom! Not Keira’s mom!”

Old Mrs. Horton gave her a glance. “Humph, she’s the mother of my granddaughter-in-law. You bad woman!”

Isla, biting her lips in anger, glared fiercely at Keira. “Is that what you tell other people? Keira, you truly have no shame!”

Keira couldn’t be bothered to argue with her and even thought that Isla was really cold-blooded.

Isla didn’t care about Mrs. Olsen’s health but was quibbling over a title here…

Keira turned to the family doctor. “When can Mrs. Olsen wake up?”

The doctor said, “In about two more hours.”

Keira nodded and looked to old Mrs. Horton, “Grandma, could you let Mrs. Olsen stay here…”

“Of course, there’s no problem. The mother of my granddaughter-in-law is family. She can stay here!” Old Mrs. Horton was very cheerful.

But as soon as she spoke, Isla’s voice carried over. “Don’t bother. I’ve already informed my dad, and he’s on his way to pick her up. We won’t trouble you any further, great-grandma.”

Keira frowned. “There are various medical devices here, and the family doctor is very good. At least let Mrs. Olsen stay her until she wakes up.”

But Isla insisted. “Keira, she’s my mom. If I say it’s not necessary, then it’s not!”

Keira clenched her jaw and looked at Mrs. Olsen.

It was now winter, and although the winter in Oceanion wasn’t as cold as in the north, the wind was blowing outside. There was a distance from here to the parking lot…

Keira took a deep breath, wanting to persuade her again, but a hurried footstep came from the door, and Taylor strode in. “How’s Shirley?”

He was anxious and rushed forward as soon as he saw Mrs. Olsen, making sure she wasn’t in danger before he finally relaxed.

Then he realized that he was out of sorts and turned to old Mrs. Horton,” Mrs.

Horton, thank you for taking care of Shirley…”

Old Mrs. Horton pursed her lips and snorted, “Granddaughter-in-law, your bad dad is here.”

Taylor was momentarily embarrassed, knowing that old Mrs. Horton was still holding a grudge over the previous incident in that clothing shop. He dared not say much more but only asked, “Mrs. Horton, the parking lot is a bit far from here. Could I bring the car over…”

Old Mrs. Horton liked peace and quiet, and she usually didn’t go out much. Therefore, there was no parking space in front of her little courtyard because she didn’t want cars passing by in the middle of the night, disturbing her. Although Old Mrs. Horton was reluctant to talk to him, this matter concerned Mrs. Olsen, so she nodded, “Alright.”

Taylor breathed a sigh of relief. After he made a call for the driver to bring the car, he then proceeded to take off his coat, wrapped Mrs. Olsen with it, and bent down to pick her up.

His gaze on Mrs. Olsen was filled with extreme care, and the way he held her resembled someone cradling a rare treasure, a demeanor that couldn’t be feigned.

Keira had always trusted him completely in that aspect.

The love and protection Taylor showed toward Mrs. Olsen had been apparent to Keira since her childhood.

It couldn’t be fake. Besides, nobody could pretend for so many years. He behaved perfectly in every aspect.

For so many years, Mrs. Olsen was the only one in Taylor’s eyes.

Back in the day, he even refused to accept Poppy, and for many years, even though Poppy and Keira lived with the Olsen family, Taylor never even glanced at them.

Even Taylor’s fatherly love for Isla was because of his love for Mrs. Olsen… Now that he was taking such thorough considerations, Keira felt it wasn’t appropriate to obstruct any further, so she followed them out the door. Just as they reached the entrance, Melissa walked over. Her demeanor, once haughty when she first met Mrs. Olsen, was now somewhat nervous. “My god, what happened to Mrs. Olsen?”

Isla immediately said, “It’s nothing…”

However, Taylor didn’t even pause. “It’s too cold here. I need to get Shirley into the car first.”

His impolite behavior made Melissa stop in her tracks.

Isla quickly explained, “Dad is just too worried about Mom…”

Melissa twisted her mouth awkwardly, then promptly grasped her hand. “Isla, my child, with your mother’s background, why didn’t you mention it sooner? Anyway, tomorrow morning, I’ll have Jake pick you up, and you two should go get your marriage certificate!”

After that, she gave a forced smile. “The Internet isn’t being kind to you right now, and you understand, the Horton family cares a lot about face. We might not be able to hold a grand wedding ceremony, but we’ll have an opportunity to make up for it later!”

Isla hadn’t anticipated things to move so quickly and was overjoyed. “Great, I’ll wait for Jake to pick me up!”

She wanted to say more, but the Olsen family’s car honked, and Taylor frowned at her. “Isla, are you coming or not? The car is cramped, and your mother is uncomfortable lying down.”

Isla immediately said, “Coming.”

Keira stood by the car, anxiously looking through the window at Mrs. Olsen.

As Isla approached to get in the car, she suddenly turned toward Keira with a piercing look. “Keira, my mother despises people who interfere with others’ marriages the most. If you want her to worry less about you, you’d better leave the Horton family and go live with your husband!”

Keira didn’t know what to say.

The Olsen family’s car quickly left the Horton residence, and Melissa then walked into old Mrs. Horton’s villa, smiling. “Grandma, Isla is pregnant with Jake’s child, so the marriage is going ahead as planned. To avoid any embarrassment for them, I’ve decided to have them get the marriage certificate tomorrow. You don’t object, do you?”

When Keira heard this, she hesitated for a moment.

She was unsure whether to stop this marriage or to turn a blind eye.

Isla’s child was Connor’s… Logically, she should reveal the truth.

But if the Horton family didn’t agree to the marriage, Mrs. Olsen would have to come begging again.

She couldn’t bear that thought.

As she wavered, old Mrs. Horton spoke. “I’ve said before. I don’t care about Jake’s marriage. She can join the family, but I won’t give her any shares. That’s not happening.”

Upon hearing this, Melissa frowned.

She hesitated on the spot but eventually said, “That’s fine.”

After that, she said triumphantly, “Grandma, do you know about the background of Jake’s mother-in-law?”

Keira looked at her, curious as well.

Ever since she was young, Keira felt that Mrs. Olsen was different from the rest. She had a unique elegance in every movement.

She really wanted to know what family Mrs. Olsen came from..
