275 Don't Leave Me
Keira didn't know when he had picked her up and brought her to the bed.
Lewis's lean body pressed down on her.
His face was tightly against hers, their noses touching, his breath mingling with hers in a hot and intense burst.
His eyes were fixed on her, not daring to blink as if he was afraid that she would disappear again...
After a moment, his thin lips moved to the back of her ear, his breath warm and moist against her tender skin as he spoke.
His voice was deep and hoarse, filled with endless joy. "Keira, you finally came back... You're not dead..."
His voice made Keira's heart ache.
She tightened her grip around his waist and lifted her head to kiss his chin.
The kiss made his body tremble slightly. He seemed unable to resist the effect of the drug any longer and grabbed her chin to kiss her. His hand gently and firmly began to undress her...
Keira shivered subtly.
She had always kept fit and was skilled, and she had imagined that on her wedding night, she would be a match for Lewis. But even though her strength was considerable, she couldn't move Lewis an inch.
Half of her body was dangling off the edge...
Lewis pulled her back.
He clung to her tightly, feeling her presence as if afraid she would leave again...
They didn't know how much time had passed and both were panting from exhaustion. They clung tightly to each other, tired enough to fall asleep...
From yesterday until now, Keira had been on edge, and she hadn't slept at all last night, so she was extremely tired.
She didn't know that since the accident, Lewis also hadn't slept.
For three whole days, he hadn't rested for a minute!
Now that his heart's desire had finally been resolved, his body and mind suddenly relaxed, and he couldn't hold on any longer...
...
When Keira groggily woke up, she heard the faint sound of the door being opened.
She immediately lifted the quilt to cover both of them!
Then she saw Howard's mother enter with a look of disgust on her face. She took a few hasty photos of Keira and Lewis with her phone, then immediately lowered her voice. "Get up now. We're going back to Clance!"
Leaving these words behind, she left the room.
Keira checked her phone and saw it was five in the morning, and the sky outside was still dark...
By the moonlight, her gaze once again fell on Lewis.
The man was still asleep, probably too exhausted; his hand was still intertwined with hers.
Keira gently withdrew her own hand and quickly picked up the clothes from the ground to dress.
She tiptoed out of the room.
As she reached the doorway, she couldn't help but look back at him.
The sleeping man seemed to sense something and frowned.
Keira withdrew her gaze.
One night of folly was enough; she didn't have the luxury to be capricious.
Her mother was still waiting for her to save her.
The hidden adversaries were also waiting for her to unearth them...
As for Lewis, he had his own responsibilities; he couldn't abandon Madeleine...
So, this was it.
The luggage in the room had already been packed by Howard's mother the night before, so she walked out, gently closing the door behind her.
"Lewis, goodbye."
...
On the way back to Clance.
As it was still early, Amy was obediently sleeping in the child seat.
Keira sat beside her, not mentioning a word about last night's events.
Howard's mother couldn't help herself from asking, "Howard, what the hell are you doing? I saw with my own eyes. Mr. Horton and Keera have done the deed! Shouldn't we wait for Mr. Horton to wake up before we talk terms? Why did you run off?"
Howard chuckled. "Mom, don't rush... We tricked Mr. Horton, so it's better to get back to Clance quickly. I've asked around. The Horton family has no assets in Clance. When he wakes up in the morning, he'll come to his senses. If he wants to get angry, he won't come looking for us... But if he really takes an interest in Keera, he'll definitely find an opportunity to come to Clance. By then, won't we be in touch with him?"
Howard's mother immediately laughed. "You've really thought this through!"
Through the rearview mirror, Howard looked at Keira and, upon noticing the red marks on her neck, his pupils constricted.
He sneered. "Keera, who are you putting on that deathly face for? I haven't touched you in two years, and last night you finally got some action, right? Tell me, compared to me, what's different about a big shot like Mr. Horton?"
Keira replied coldly to this remark, "He's much bigger than you."
Howard was dumbfounded.
His face darkened instantly. "Keera, you can bring yourself to this kind of talk. You really are shameless!"
"More shameless than sending your wife to another man's bed?"
Howard was speechless!
He had never thought that the Keera he had harshly repressed for years would strike back!
Howard's mother sneered. "Keera, after sleeping with Mr. Horton, have you grown a spine? What now? Just because someone slept with you, do you think you're Mrs. Horton now?"
Howard scoffed. "A second-hand woman who's had a kid and been married, you're only fit to fool around privately with Mr. Horton. Keera, don't tell me you really believe Mr. Horton would take a liking to you?"
Howard's mother immediately warned Keira. "Let me tell you, sleeping with Mr. Horton is your good fortune! It's because you have some resemblance to Mrs. Horton. Don't think that by clinging to Mr. Horton, you can disregard us!"
The two discussed such shameless matters without any consideration for Amy, completely refreshing Keira's understanding of the word "low".
She didn't speak again, not wanting to let Amy hear it. Instead, she continued to gaze out the window.
After returning to Clance, would "they" from the South family contact her?
How often did Keera usually contact them?
And how exactly did they get in touch?
As she pondered these things, Howard's mother suddenly looked at Howard and asked, "How long do you think it'll take for Mr. Horton to come looking for us?"
Howard frowned. "It's hard to say. If Mr. Horton isn't interested in Keera, he might not come for the rest of his life! But if he really misses his deceased wife, he might come in a few days."
Howard's mother nodded immediately. "Right, right... But when I entered the room this morning, I saw their action was quite intense... Keera has a pretty face and a good figure..."
Howard sneered. "No matter how good she is, she's not Mrs. Horton. Who knows if Mr. Horton would break his vows and come to Clance for her?"
Howard said with disdain, "Mom, you don't know how dull and prudish Keera is. She's like a corpse in bed, making it impossible to raise any interest. I don't even know if she could catch Mr. Horton's attention. It's truly a waste of her pretty face!"
The two cursed and complained all the way, at one moment berating Keira as shameless for sleeping with another man.
Then again, they said Keira was useless, unable to win Mr. Horton's heart.
During the trip, they stopped several times at service areas to rest.
What they didn't notice was that a black Bentley limousine was speeding toward Clance!!
Howard thought if Lewis took an interest in Keira, he would probably contact him in a few days, but what he didn't expect was…
When the SUV stopped in front of their villa, they saw a team of black-clad bodyguards standing there.
A tall figure was standing at the entrance, quietly waiting for them...
It was Lewis.
Although he hadn't slept for three days and had been drugged, as soon as Keira left, he woke up.
Seeing no one beside him, his first move was to have someone investigate Howard's whereabouts, and then he chased after them.
At this moment, his expression was anxious, his gaze locked directly on the slender figure holding Amy as she got out of the car.
Today, Keira wasn't wearing a mask, and her face was clearly visible to Lewis...
