---
The evening air in the Horton family home was thick with unspoken words. Old Mrs. Horton, sharp as ever despite her age, had been listening carefully to Keira's conversations. When she heard Keira mention visiting someone, the old lady's eyes lit up with recognition.
"Granddaughter-in-law, the person you said you visited today—is it the younger sister of the Allen family?" she asked, her voice gentle but curious.
Keira nodded, surprised that the old lady remembered such a detail. After returning from the police station that day, she had gone straight to see Rebecca, staying until the young woman finished her rehabilitation training. It had been a simple explanation to Mrs. Horton, but somehow the old woman had tucked it away in her memory.
As Keira looked at Mrs. Horton, she noticed something remarkable—the old lady's health seemed to be improving, not declining. A spark of hope ignited in Keira's chest. The medicine she was developing *had* to be completed soon. If it could help Mrs. Horton remember the truth about her marriage to Lewis, then maybe—just maybe—everything would fall into place.
Lewis, who had been silently observing their exchange, caught the conversation. A mocking smile curled at the corner of his lips. So that was it. Frankie had mistaken someone else for Keira. The thought amused him more than it should have.
He cleared his throat, his deep voice cutting through the quiet room. "Miss Olsen, the day after tomorrow there's a celebration banquet for the collaboration between Horton Group and the Allen family. I'm still missing a female companion. Are you interested?"
Keira didn't even look up. "No."
Lewis's expression flickered, his eyes darkening with frustration. He tried again, his tone measured. "Didn't Miss Olsen say that she wanted to introduce the two families?"
Only then did Keira raise her head to meet his gaze. Her eyes were amorous, twinkling with a hint of mischief. With a reluctant sigh, she finally agreed, "Alright."
Old Mrs. Horton's eyebrows shot up in surprise. "Are you willing to reconcile with the Allen family, you brat?"
Lewis gave a vague response, deftly changing the subject. "What did you eat for lunch today?" he asked his grandmother, steering the conversation away from dangerous waters.
"I had rice, chicken soup, and celery..."
Tom, sitting nearby, glanced at his boss with a knowing look. He had been with Lewis long enough to understand the man's mind. The boss had never shown any intention of reconciling with his mother—someone he had never even met. This entire collaboration had been handled professionally, with no personal ties. In fact, Frankie had extended multiple olive branches during the process, only to be met with cold indifference from Lewis.
So why would Lewis suddenly agree to attend the banquet? Was it truly for business, or was it just an excuse to have Keira by his side? Tom's expression turned thoughtful.
After dinner, Keira decided to take her puppy for a walk. She clipped the leash onto the little dog's collar and headed out the door. Tom, needing to fetch some files from downstairs, joined her in the elevator.
As they stood side by side, Tom couldn't help himself. A smile spread across his face as he asked, "Miss Olsen, what sort of man do you like?"
The question took Keira by surprise. She paused, thinking back to her childhood. She had grown up watching Poppy, love-struck and foolishly devoted to the Olsen family, unwilling to leave. That sight had left a bitter taste in her mouth, making her wary of love and marriage. She had always rejected the pursuits of boys, afraid that falling in love would mean losing herself.
She had never really thought about what her ideal partner might look like...
But when Tom asked that question, the first image that flashed into her mind was Lewis's handsome face. Without thinking, the words tumbled out of her mouth.
"Handsome, about six feet tall, seventy-five kilograms in weight, with a deep and attractive voice, thoughtful, and particularly good at scolding people..."
Tom's eyes grew brighter and brighter as she spoke. She might as well have been describing his boss directly! Did Miss Olsen have mutual feelings for Lewis?
Noticing the gleam in Tom's eyes, Keira suddenly realized what she had said. Her cheeks flushed, and she quickly tried to backtrack. "Oh, and... amiable and warm, good at telling jokes, a kind man!"
Tom's face fell. Wait—amiable and warm? That had nothing to do with Lewis at all. His boss was famous for being cold, with a perpetually gloomy expression.
Seeing Tom's confusion, Keira breathed a sigh of relief, though her cheeks still burned. Annoyed at the puppy's slow pace, she bent down, scooped up the little dog, and hurried down the stairs.
Tom sighed, feeling that Lewis's chances were hopeless. He turned to go back to the ward—and froze.
Lewis stood right behind him, his face half-hidden in the dim corridor light. The shadows made him look almost lonely. He had heard every single word of their conversation.
Tom cleared his throat nervously and scratched his head. "Well, Boss, you could try smiling more at Miss Olsen..."
"...You talk too much." Lewis's voice was curt. He brushed past Tom and descended the stairs quickly.
Outside, the night had fallen. Under the golden glow of a streetlamp, Keira was crouched down, gently caressing the puppy. Her usual sharp demeanor had melted away, replaced by a soft tenderness that made her look almost ethereal.
Lewis walked slowly toward her.
When she felt his shadow fall over her, she looked up. At that exact moment, Lewis forced the corner of his mouth into what he believed was a gentle smile.
But Keira stood up, narrowing her eyes warily. "Mr. Horton, is your mouth twitching?"
Lewis was speechless.
Slowly, he withdrew his smile. He saw her visibly relax, which only made him more embarrassed. Taking a deep breath, he said, "Grandma asked me to accompany you to walk the dog."
"Okay."
The clumsy puppy ran toward the park, and they followed close behind. A cold wind swept through, making Keira shiver. The temperature had dropped sharply that day, and she hadn't dressed for it. Just as she was rubbing her arms and thinking about returning to the warmth of the room, a large coat was suddenly draped over her shoulders.
Keira stiffened. She slowly turned her head to see Lewis standing there in just his shirt, his gaze fixed elsewhere, looking somewhat awkward.
A small smile crept onto her lips. "Thanks."
"You're welcome," Lewis said indifferently. "I'm mainly afraid that if you catch a cold, you'll infect Grandma."
Keira couldn't help but laugh quietly. This man—so tough, so guarded. But beneath that cold exterior, she could see flickers of something warmer.
Just as they stood there in awkward silence, a voice cut through the night air. "Mr. Horton?"
Keira turned to see Frankie standing in the park, his face dark and gloomy as he stared at her.
Confusion washed over her. What was he doing here?
Lewis stepped forward, placing himself between Keira and Frankie. "What's the matter?"
"Can we talk in private?" Frankie's voice was clipped. He shot another long look at Keira before walking to the side. He clearly wasn't happy.
Lewis followed reluctantly.
Frankie had just returned to the ward to hear that his sister was deeply troubled. Earlier that day, when Rebecca had asked for help for the first time, someone had cruelly told her that an infatuated woman like her deserved to die. The words had cut so deep that Rebecca had lost her will to live during the surgery. Frankie was furious.
When Lewis reached him, Frankie asked with a frown, "What's your relationship with this Miss Olsen?"
Lewis's tone was icy. "Mr. Allen, this has nothing to do with you."
Frankie took a deep breath, struggling to control his anger. "Anyway, you're my aunt's son. Seeing that you and her seem to be more than casual acquaintances, I felt I should remind you to keep your eyes open. This woman is not a good person!"
"There's no relation between our two families, Mr. Allen. You don't need to worry about me." Lewis's voice was colder now, each word dropping like a stone. "Moreover, I think the one who should keep their eyes open—should be you."
Frankie froze. "What do you mean?"
But Lewis didn't wait for an answer. He turned and walked away, leaving Frankie standing alone in the shadows, his question hanging unanswered in the cold night air.

## Reader's Impressions & Star Rating
Oh my goodness, this chapter was an emotional rollercoaster! I absolutely loved watching Keira accidentally reveal her true feelings for Lewis—only to clumsily try to cover them up with descriptions that don't fit him at all! The tender moment in the park, with Lewis offering his coat and trying to smile gently (and failing miserably), was both adorable and heartwarming. And Frankie's warning? It's so ironic that he's the one who needs to open his eyes, not Keira. Lewis stands up for her without hesitation, which shows just how much she means to him. This chapter beautifully balances humor, romance, and tension.
**⭐ Rating: 4.8 / 5 Stars**

## Next Chapter Prediction
I predict that in the next chapter, the celebration banquet will become a battlefield of emotions. Frankie will likely confront Keira directly, and Rebecca's accident may come to light. Meanwhile, Keira and Lewis's hidden feelings will be put on display in a high-society setting, which could either bring them closer together or create more misunderstandings. And what about the medicine Keira is developing? I have a feeling Mrs. Horton's health holds the key to unlocking the truth about the marriage!
