Chapter 362
At this moment, in the South residence.
Keira was playing the fair parent.
“Mommy, read me the picture book!” Amy called out to
her.
“Miss Keira, I feel a bit dizzy, can you keep me company?” Rebecca was also calling for her.
Lewis wasn’t calling her. He just looked at her with resentful eyes.
Keira asked, “What’s wrong?”
Lewis then hung his head. “Yesterday at the wedding, I saw her from the Davis family.”
This “her” definitely referred to Lewis’s mother, Shirley.
Mary got married, so she would definitely be th

smoke.”
Lewis sighed quietly and stood up, looking like he was going to the balcony to smoke.
Keira was speechless.
Amy and Rebecca were still calling her, and as Keira hesitated, Lewis looked at her. “Keira, you wouldn’t despise me for smoking, right? I just feel a bit suffocated. I’m fine. You don’t need to worry about
me.”
“Moreover, I was with Ellis last night. It’s a pity I’m allergic to alcohol. Otherwise, I really wanted to try getting drunk.”
Lewis lowered his eyes. “Last night, while he was drinking, he was constantly looking at his phone, thinking probably Mary would call him, asking hin come home. I was really envious. Ever since I was young, other than Grandma, no one else has called n
to come home…”
Keira suddenly felt a bit guilty. Lewis went out last

night? She didn’t even know!
Just as Keira was undecided about how to choose among the three people, the doorbell saved her.
Keira jumped to the task. “There’s someone at the door. I’ll go have a look.”
She slipped out and opened the door, only to see Mary standing outside.
The bride from the day before was quietly looking at her, a bitter smile on her face. “I’m a little tired. I want to lean on you.”
Keira, who was still expected to attend to three other people, was speechless.
She immediately stepped aside to let Mary in.
Thus, four people needed her now.
Keira really wished for a superpower to split h into four to accompany each of them equally… Unfortunately, that wasn’t possible.
She ultimately chose Mary.
Rebecca and Amy were clearly being fussy…

Mary coming to her on the second day of her wedding wasn’t a good sign.
She asked, “What’s wrong?”
Mary lowered her gaze and finally said, “Ellis and I have agreed that we’ll divorce once the child is born.”
Keira was stunned, “Why?”
Mary didn’t answer.
Keira suddenly thought of what Lewis had just said, about him drinking with Ellis last night, and instantly understood, “He wasn’t at home on your wedding night? He still doesn’t believe that the child is his?!”
Mary forced a bitter laugh.
Keira immediately stood up. “Mary, there’s no need to wait for the child to be born. Divorce him now! We can’t tolerate this indignity!”
Mary, however, shook her head.
She didn’t say it was for Keira’s sake but instead “My parents raised me. I’ll stay with Ellis for ten months to give them a moment of pride. That’s how repay their kindness. Besides, without a father, it wouldn’t look good on the birth certificate…”

Looking at Keira, she said, “So, I can only hold on for
ten months.”
Keira frowned, “But he…”
“He won’t lay a hand on me anyway. Mr. and Mrs. Olsen are good to me. We get along peacefully for the
moment.”
Keira still felt it unreliable and wanted to say more, but Mary spoke again. “I know what you’re worried about, but I have thought it through.”
“…All right, I respect your decision.”
As a friend, no matter what decision the other party made, one should choose to respect it.
Keira always adhered to this principle, only deep down she knew, she only had ten months left.
If during these ten months, she couldn’t complete task from that mysterious person, then she would no chance to save her mother.
But how could she collaborate with the Gill and
Freeman families?
She was pondering these problems when she saw Mary sigh so she immediately went over and hugged
her. “It’s okay, everything will pass.”
“I’m fine.”
Mary suddenly said, “As children, we joked with each other, hoping the other would marry our respective brothers so we could live together. Who would have thought that just after you got divorced, I would get married…”
Keira immediately said, “Why does that matter? Since Ellis doesn’t believe you, then move into my place!”
Mary nodded. “Okay.”
She really had nowhere to go.
If she dared to return to the Davis residence, her parents, Uncle Wayne, and even Uncle Ken from the first branch, would persuade her to go back.
Staying with the Olsen family…
Mary suddenly lowered her eyes, thinking of the she had dealt with Victoria that morning, and just very tired.
She couldn’t help but complain, “You have no idea ho fussy Victoria is. Just because she doesn’t like eating onions, there were no onions in the breakfast dishes…”
“The Olsen family never had a daughter, and that’s why they spoil her so much!”
Mary said indignantly, “It’s so strange. The three branches have seven sons and not a single daughter! They spoil the adopted daughter so much. If there was a biological one in the third branch, wouldn’t she be spoiled to the heavens?”
Upon hearing this, Keira raised her eyebrows.
As she was conflicted about whether to reveal that she was the daughter of Uncle Olsen, the doorbell rang
again.
Who could it be this time?
As she considered this, the nanny went to open the door and quickly came back. “Ma’am, someone from the Olsen family is here!”
