Anymore
Horton residence.
Keira’s words didn’t surprise Lewis too much.
She had always been a free-spirited woman.
But Lewis's chest was still clenched tightly, his mouth agape. He wanted to
refuse, to say no, to ask her to wait a little longer for him, and to give him more
time. He was sure he could think of a better solution.
But before he could speak, Keira stood up, her gaze fixed on him. “I don’t mean
to pressure you, but I've thought a lot, and this might be the only way.”
Lewis clenched his jaw, squeezing his fists. “Keira, I..."
“You've tried your best, and you chose me. I know that.” Keira looked at him. “But
you can't really watch
her die.”
-Lewis frowned. “I can.”
“You can now,” Keira met his gaze. “But what about the
future?”

Lewis paused.
“You'll feel guilty about her, and this guilt will be forever buried deep in your heart,
Lewis. I don’t want you to bear such pressure.”
The room's light was very dim.
Keira couldn't see the expression on Lewis's face, but she was in a state of
dejection, her shoulders drooping slightly.
She said, word by word, “Lewis, I know how terrible this feeling is.”
For the last twenty-two years, she had lived in guilt toward the Olsen family.
She truly believed it was her existence that prevented Taylor and Mrs. Olsen from
being together, and although she finally left after more than a decade of slaving
away for the Olsen family, the weight in her heart never lifted.
Every time she faced Isla, despite telling herself she wasn't at fault, that she
couldn't choose her own birth, she still felt guilty and was unable to raise her
head in Isla’s presence.

It was a helpless debt.
One couldn't choose one’s background.
Nor could one change life or death.
Once a person died, that was it.
No matter how much one regretted, one could never
make amends.
Lewis, who appeared cold and aloof, actually cared deeply for those around him
Madeleine once saved his life, so if he just gave up on her like this, Lewis would
spend the rest of his life living with guilt toward Madeleine; Keira didn't want
that for him.
Yet Lewis stepped forward, his voice trembling. “But compared to that, I can’t
bear to lose you even more.”
Keira lowered her eyes, smiling. “Lewis, be sensible. You know that this is the
best choice for both of us.”
Hd
Suddenly, Keira took a step forward and hugged him tightly.
This action trapped the words in Lewis's throat.

Keira then laughed. “Lewis, don’t be so down. I'm quite used to your domineering
demeanor. Besides...”
Her voice was muffled. “This marriage was bizarre from the start. I always feel
like someone is pulling the strings behind the scenes. Maybe if we get a divorce,
that person behind the scenes has to show themselves?”
She said all these words quietly.
After that, she stood up straight and patted Lewis's shoulder. “Alright, see you at
the courthouse tomorrow. Don’t stand me up.”
Leaving those words behind, she turned to leave.
But her arm was tightly grasped by Lewis.
Keira didn’t look back.
She was never a coquette, but seeing Madeleine clinging to Lewis's hand,
affectionately calling him “big brother,” it was a lie to say she wasn't jealous.
Love was inherently selfish and possessive.
For a moment, both of them were motionless.
It wasn't clear how much time had passed when Lewis

finally let go of her hand.
Only then did Keira leave.
She hurried into the room next door, her own room.
And the moment she closed the door, a tear suddenly
rolled down.
One must not be too greedy.
She was accustomed to hardship from a young age, but now, she not only had
Lewis but also had Jodie South as a mother...
Indeed, whatever destiny gave you, it would take something else away.
Keira got into bed and buried her head deeply into the
blanket.
If she had known it would turn out like this, she should
have controlled herself and not fallen for him...
She didn’t regret bringing up the divorce because she knew if she hadn't, he
would have been the one to speak up eventually...
This was better.
She hadn't been abandoned; it was she who didn't

want him...
In the room separated from hers by just one wall.
Lewis stood dazed at the door.
The way she walked away made him feel an emptiness inside. Irritated, he took
off his tie and walked toward
the balcony.
The last few days had brought a drop in temperature, and even in Oceanion, the
temperature had fallen to
below zero.
He took off his coat, now standing there in just his shirt, gazing toward Keira's
room.
The light in her room was off...
She might have fallen asleep
Or perhaps, like him, she couldn't sleep at all.
Lewis took out another cigarette.
Perhaps because the weather was too cold, he noticed his hand was trembling
slightly.
After lighting the cigarette, he took a long drag as if to inhale the harsh flavor into
each and every organ...
He choked and coughed a four times and his area

were wet.
Something fell onto his hand.
Lewis glanced at it and gently wiped it away.
The morning arrived quickly.
With the light of dawn, Keira opened her eyes.

But the insulation of old Mrs. Horton's courtyard was
excellent.
She knew it was her imagination.
She got out of bed and went to the door.
Lewis was also opening his door, and their eyes met.
There was a clear sign of fatigue under his eyes,
After a while, Keira showed a small smile. “Good
morning.”
Lewis's lips moved slightly, and he struggled to utter a word, “Morning”

Neither of them had much appetite for breakfast. Keira simply said, “Let's go.”
Lewis opened his mouth but said nothing, turning around and walking ahead.

Fiona’s eyes reddened upon hearing this. “But she’s such a good wife... If Mr.
Lewis misses out on her, he'll regret it for his entire life!”
Old Mrs. Horton felt even sadder. “Stop it. We should interfere less in the young
people's affairs!”
She lay down on her bed, tears trickling from her eyes. She couldn't help but
curse. “That brat!”

Keira followed Lewis to the parking lot.
Both of them got into the car, and the driver started driving toward the main gate.
Outside, both the courier from Keira's company and Horton's old house had
arrived simultaneously.
