Yet behind him stood Keira, wearing a soft nightgown, with a small birthday cake in her hands and a smiling face.

The moment he turned his head, it was midnight, and a new day began.

Keira said, "Lewis, happy birthday."

Her smile was sweet and sincere, dazzling Lewis for a moment.

He stared at Keira in surprise, "You know?"

"Of course."

Keira slowly approached with the cake. "I have a very good memory. When we registered our marriage, I memorized your birthday."

Lewis was astonished. "Then today..."

He started, then suddenly realized something. "You did it on purpose?"

Holding back her laughter, Keira stepped forward again, placed the cake on the coffee table, and then, as if by magic, took out a small box from her pocket and handed it to him. "This is for you."

Lewis hesitated.

He slowly opened the box and found it was a watch.

It was handmade, not an electronic timepiece but an old-fashioned mechanical one, from a well-known brand, but a rather niche model.

Lewis liked it at first glance.

"You like it, don't you?"

After Keira asked and saw him nod, she laughed. "I knew you would like it."

Lewis chuckled again.

He immediately wore the watch on his wrist. Coupled with the watch and his black silk pajama set, Keira found him quite charming.

Lewis suddenly looked at her, "However, there's another gift that I like even more."

"Which is?"

As soon as Keira asked, she was engulfed by his embrace around her waist and then tumbled into his arms, feeling a ticklish sensation near her ear as his voice followed, "You..."

Keira was surprised.

She tried to push Lewis away but heard him ask, "When did you buy it?"

"Today. Why else would I take you shopping? It was so boring."

Keira had spent her entire life learning new things, and she actually didn't enjoy activities like shopping for clothes.

Lewis laughed again. "I was with you all day today. How did I not notice?"

Keira chuckled. "Of course, because I was facing away from you!~"

She had her eye on this specific watch for a while and had called the store to reserve it. Today, she just went to pick it up and slipped the watch into her shopping bag while he was turned around.

Lewis asked, "Have you been teasing me all day?"

"Yes, seeing you wanting a gift but acting proud was so fun!"

Keira held back her laughter.

She thought about the times he could hardly resist telling her the truth, but she intentionally found something to interrupt him.

Why should she care about people getting affectionate in the parking lot? Did he really think she liked to casually judge others? It was all just for a distraction!

Lewis pinched her waist.

Her waist had no excess fat and was smooth to the touch; one hand seemed almost enough to encircle it, making his large hand suddenly warm.

His eyes seemed to grow darker. "Is teasing me that amusing to you?"

Keira said, "The main point is that giving you a gift directly wouldn't have been as exciting. Isn't the contrast before and after more enjoyable for you?"

"Hmm, it is enjoyable."

Lewis leaned down, burying his face in her neck, his voice muffled. "This is the happiest birthday I've ever had."

Keira nodded upon hearing this.

Just as she was about to say something else, she heard him say, "However, I could be even happier. Keira, could you fulfill a small wish for me?"

"What?"

"My wish is..."

The next moment, affectionate sounds came out of the room.

...

Keira thought, "I'll never dare to mess with this dog of a man again!"

The next morning, as soon as Keira woke up and felt the lingering soreness on her body, she couldn't help but complain inwardly.

Lewis was refreshed and invigorated as if he had been injected with some magic potion.

Keira twitched the corner of her mouth, supported her waist to get out of bed, and then asked, "You're making an appearance at the banquet tonight, right?"

Hearing this, Lewis glanced at her and said, "Mhm, I can't delay it any longer."

The Horton family had been in Clance for three months, and his delayed appearance as the head of the family was starting to cause speculation among the branches of the family.

If he didn't show up soon, people might start thinking he had been ousted by Jake of the first branch of the family!

Keira nodded, "Okay!"

Then she said, "I'm going back to the Olsen family later and will go to the gala with them in the evening. What about you?" novelbin

"I'll take you to the Olsen family."

Keira didn't object.

After having breakfast together, Keira was dropped off at the Olsen family by Lewis.

As she got out of the car, Keira waved cheekily at Lewis, making his eyes to darken once again.

Meeting his intense gaze felt like being scorched, and she averted her eyes.

She smiled and then stepped into the Olsen family's living room.

Inside the living room.

At that moment, all seven Olsen brothers had gathered there. Ellis's fever had subsided, but his body was still weak from his recent illness.

Therefore, he sat quietly in a corner, lost in his own world.

The other six brothers huddled together, whispering among themselves.

"Lately, everyone in the circle has been badmouthing our little sister. What do we do about this?"

"The main thing is, Keira's show of affection has been too outrageous. No matter where she goes, she brings along that driver, making everyone in the circle aware that she's kept a gigolo!"

"If I were Lewis, I'd feel so humiliated by now!"

"What do we do now? I heard that the old Mrs. Horton seems quite displeased with Keera. These rumors must be coming from the Horton family itself... they must be true..."

"How do we convince Keira to break up with that gigolo?"

"Is it possible that... Keera wants to call off her engagement with Lewis more than we thought? She didn't grow up in the Olsen family after all; there's no need for her to marry into another family just for our sake..."

"You're right! I think so too!"

James burst out, "If Keera doesn't like Lewis, then let's make it clear with him this evening and call off the marriage!"

"Well, I think we shouldn't be hasty. We could wait and see... What if tonight, our cousin hits it off with Lewis?"

The youngest in the family, Charles, quietly voiced this opinion.

Amidst the discussion of everyone, Keira slowly walked in.

James coughed. "Keera, where's your gigolo?"

"Well, he went to get prepared."

"Prepare for what?"

"The banquet tonight."

"What?!"

James was stunned, "He's going too?"

Wasn't this a bit too disrespectful to the Horton family?!
