Chapter 337

Rebecca’s eyes suddenly lit up.

….
She had spotted Lewis!

It was as if she saw a fellow traveler in the darkness, and her eyes suddenly teared up. “Frankie, why is Mr. Horton here?”

Frankie was also startled. Turning his head, he spotted Lewis as well.

But the Lewis before them seemed different from the one they used to know.

He was dressed in casual sportswear, appearing several years younger, with a face that bore a gentle expression, completely devoid of the decadent look in the past.

Did he look like someone who had just lost his wife?

Frankie was puzzled but still explained, “The Horton Group’s projects have expanded to Clance, and Lewis has been here for over a month now.”

Upon hearing this, Rebecca frowned. “Why isn’t he in Oceanion to accompany Miss Keira? Shouldn’t he be there for the first month of her mourning period?”

Frankie thought carefully and realized that Rebecca was right…

Seeing how agitated Rebecca was, he couldn’t help but say, “That’s hard to say. After all, the journey between the two places is only six hours. Maybe he goes back from time to time? This is, after all, someone else’s private matter, and it’s not right for me to pry.”

Rebecca’s jaw tensed. “Why doesn’t he look sad at all?”

Frankie coughed and said earnestly, “Rebecca, not everyone shows their pain outwardly. Most men keep their sorrow deep inside, and someone with a strong mentality like Lewis even more so.”

“Really?”

Rebecca stared intently at Lewis. “But I don’t see a trace of sadness on his face!”

“That’s exactly what shows his inner strength. Besides being Keira’s husband, he’s also old Mrs. Horton’s grandson. If he can’t move on, who will take care of old Mrs. Horton? Rebecca, you should do the same. Try to forget Keira, okay? It would also worry our parents less.”

At the mention of this, Rebecca was about to cry. “I won’t!”

Her tears streamed down. “The real death of a person isn’t the disappearance of their physical form, but when no one remembers them anymore. Frankie, no one in Oceanion remembers her, and no one around will remember her. The only one who could remember her is her mother, and she’s nowhere to be found. If I forget her too, then she truly dies!”

Hearing this, Frankie fell silent, and after a long pause, he finally said, “Rebecca, I’ll remember her too.”

“I know.”

Rebecca wiped her tears. “This past month, though you haven’t said it, you’ve lost ten pounds. Frankie, I know, you were a little in love with her, weren’t you?”

Frankie didn’t speak.

Had Lewis not lost weight? It was just that Keira had seen his cheeks becoming hollow and had found a way to help him gain it back over the past week!

Keira was so good at cooking; the food she made was not only nutritious but also delicious.

Lewis had been nourished to look lively and spirited, and his smile was so composed and confident.

He looked nothing like the disoriented man at the funeral back then.

So, Rebecca could tell at a glance that he wasn’t sad.

Frankie didn’t know what to say…

This was, after all, someone else’s private matter; he couldn’t just rush up to ask Lewis, “Why haven’t you lost weight?” after Rebecca’s few words.

He coughed, intending to say something in defense of Lewis, but then he saw the silhouette of a woman, with her back to them, sitting in front of Lewis.

Frankie paused slightly and instinctively glanced at Rebecca. Indeed, he saw Rebecca with eyes wide open in astonishment, looking at them in disbelief.

Before Frankie could speak, Rebecca was already trembling with anger. “No wonder he came out so quickly. He has found a new love! Frankie, do you see? Miss Keira has been dead for just over a month, and he has already found someone new… it’s simply outrageous!”

Frankie was speechless. His jaw tensed as he tried to soothe her. “Perhaps this is just a facade of his?”

“What facade! Stop making excuses for him! Actions speak louder than words!” Rebecca’s eyes were brimming with tears as she exclaimed, “Miss Keira was so kind to him while she was alive, and she helped the Horton Group so much! How could he do this to her?!”

Rebecca’s chest heaved with anger, and her face turned deathly pale. “Look how happy he is laughing! Frankie, he’s clearly fallen for someone else!”

“Rebecca!” Frankie also raised his voice. “This is someone else’s freedom, and you shouldn’t be accusing him! Even if Keira were still alive, he would still have the freedom to stray!”

“No way!” Rebecca’s tears spilled over. “He can’t cheat on her! How heartbroken would Miss Keira be?! I won’t allow it!”

Rebecca cried inconsolably. “Frankie, I won’t allow him to cheat. Whether he’s busy with work or engrossed in other things, he just can’t cheat on her, Frankie! How can Miss Keira rest in peace like this!”

Listening to all this, Frankie suddenly sighed quietly. He reached out his hand and took hold of Rebecca’s. “Rebecca, everyone has to walk their own path in life, and you should learn from him, to move on as soon as possible…”

“I won’t!” Rebecca shook her head. “I don’t want to move on. I want to remember Miss Keira. She was so good; she deserves to be remembered by everyone in this world!”

After saying this, Rebecca stood up abruptly. “He can’t cheat on her! He doesn’t deserve it!” Frankie swiftly stood up as well, following her toward the table where Lewis and Keira were seated. Unfortunately, after only a couple of steps, the two people had finished their meal.

Lewis, having regained Keira, would only notice her. He had already wrapped his arms around her waist, and the two of them, with their backs to Rebecca, left together, heading for the parking lot.

Rebecca hurried after them. Regrettably, Lewis and Keira were both in a rush, and they walked rapidly. Rebecca was unable to catch up with them.

Breathless, she arrived at the underground parking lot, only to find no sign of them. Disappointed, she lowered her gaze and bent over, resting her hands on her knees, gasping for breath. Behind her, Frankie came along and steadied her. “You haven’t been eating properly these past few days. Stop running! You’re going hypoglycemic, aren’t you?!”

Rebecca didn’t respond, still searching the surroundings. At that moment, a car up ahead turned on its lights, then the engine started, and it began to slowly drive past them.

Rebecca immediately recognized the person in the driver’s seat – it was Lewis!!

She hurriedly took a few steps forward, and then she saw the woman’s face seated in the passenger seat… Rebecca was stunned.
