Chapter 341
Lewis immediately said, “No, don’t jinx yourself.”
….
Keira was perplexed.
She stared at Lewis. “Then what’s wrong with me?”
As soon as she said this, she yawned!
Lewis’s eyes lit up again!
Among the early signs of pregnancy, there was another one: drowsiness. He immediately helped Keira to the bedroom. “I’ll handle the Allen family for you. You’re sleepy now, right? Go to bed.”
Keira was confused.
Although she felt Lewis was being quite inexplicable, she indeed hadn’t had enough sleep due to this man’s passion in the past few days, so she went into the bedroom.
Lewis gently covered her with the blanket, then stepped out quietly. “Don’t worry. When you wake up, I will have taken care of the Allen family for you.”
Keira didn’t know what to say.
After Lewis left, she picked up her phone and saw a message from Samuel. “Boss, isn’t the day for your iron transfusion delayed this month?”
Keira replied to the message. “Yes, I caught a cold after falling into the water last time, so my period has been delayed. I haven’t felt it yet. I’ll let you know when I do.”
Whenever her period was about to start, she would feel abdominal pain and weakness, which was when it was time for an iron transfusion.
But last time, after falling into the ocean and staying in the water for a long time, she caught a cold.
A few days ago when her period didn’t come, she was afraid she might be pregnant, so she went to the hospital for a check-up and found out it was just menstrual irregularity.
She couldn’t afford to get pregnant with her current situation.
She didn’t yet know what she would be facing in the future…
Thinking about this, Keira tossed her phone aside and closed her eyes.
She slept very comfortably, and when she woke up, it was already dark outside.
Amy was lying next to her, playing with a toy. Seeing her wake up, she immediately trotted over, clinging to the bed and trying to climb up.
After clambering up, she dove straight into Keira’s arms.
Lewis stepped out for a moment and when he gently opened the door, he saw this scene and was startled. He quickly rushed over to pick up Amy. “Amy, you can’t bother Mommy now!”
Sheimmediately pursed her lips but said nothing, just looking at Keira with tearful eyes.
Keira, unable to resist such a pitiful look, said, “I’m awake now, it’s okay. Amy isn’t bothering me. Give her to me.”
Lewis was very conflicted but ultimately handed Amy to her. He then sat down beside them.
As Keira played with Amy, she suddenly went to tickle her underarms.
Amy laughed out loud, so excited that her little legs kicked and flailed, and the next moment, a large hand reached out, seizing those two chubby legs.
Keira was perplexed.
So was Amy.
Both turned their heads in unison, only to see Lewis staring at Amy’s legs and Keira’s belly.
Seeing that Amy hadn’t kicked Keira’s belly, Lewis finally breathed a sigh of relief.
But then he met Keira’s inquisitive eyes.
Lewis immediately coughed and averted his eyes.
Keira raised an eyebrow and played with Amy for a while longer before letting the nanny take her away to sleep, then she turned to Lewis. “You wouldn’t happen to think that I’m pregnant, would you?”
Lewis stiffened.
Seeing his reaction, Keira understood and couldn’t help but feel a mix of amusement and incredulity. “No, I just had a blood test a few days ago.”
“Is that so?”
Lewis showed a hint of disappointment.
Keira moved closer. “Are you disappointed?”
“No.” Lewis denied it quickly.
However, Keira laughed and then took his hand. “I don’t want to have children anytime soon.”
Lewis nodded. “I know.”
That was why he hadn’t told Keira his suspicion, fearing that if she really was pregnant, she might give it up, as now was indeed not the right time. But if she really had a child, he didn’t want to give up just like that. Now that he was sure there wasn’t one, he felt relieved.
As the two of them talked openly, they relaxed a lot. Keira looked at him. “How are things going with the Allen family?”
At her words, Lewis paused slightly. Keira was startled, “What’s wrong?”
Lewis cleared his throat. “The Allen family said they were fine with cooperating with Keera Technology, but they want me to agree to one condition.”
“What condition?”
Lewis was silent for a while before saying in a puzzled tone, “Frankie said Rebecca wanted to marry me.”
Keira was perplexed. She looked at Lewis, puzzled.
After a while, she hesitantly asked, “Does Rebecca like you? I didn’t notice when we were in Oceanion…”
Lewis was also baffled.
The Allen family. Frankie looked at Rebecca in resignation. “If you don’t like him, why do this?”
Rebecca stared at him. “I have to protect Lewis for Miss Keira and prevent him from finding another stand-in!”
Frankie didn’t know what to say. The cooperation with the Allen family seemed to be at an impasse. Samuel tried to mend things a few times but didn’t get through the door.
On Lewis’s side, Tom personally visited the family, and Frankie did let him in out of respect for Lewis, but the condition still hadn’t changed. Lewis even made a phone call to Frankie. The two men, both of few words, were silent for a long time after the call connected, until Lewis finally broke the silence. “What’s going on?”
Frankie said, “This is my sister’s idea. Anyway, you two are both unmarried now, which means you’re both available. Why not just agree?”
Lewis hung up immediately with a cold face.
Keira watched his sullen face and almost laughed. “There must be a misunderstanding. Rebecca isn’t like that.”
Lewis frowned. “Let’s hope so.”
Keira then frowned. “Forget it, neither of you can handle it, so it seems I have to make a visit personally.”
Keira did as she said, immediately having Lewis drive her to the Allen residence.
At the doorstep, Lewis announced his arrival. Upon hearing it, the butler immediately sent someone running inside, “Mr. Allen, Mr. Horton has come personally!”
This time, of course, no one dared to stop them, and the butler personally led Lewis and Keira to the drawing room, then said, “Mr. Allen and Miss Allen are both at home. I’ll get them for you now.”
Upstairs, when Rebecca heard from the butler that Lewis had brought Keera, the seemingly frail woman suddenly became as revitalized as if she was injected with adrenaline. She was full of fighting spirit. She immediately changed her clothes and looked at Frankie. “Let’s go down!”
Frankie sighed. “That’s Mr. Horton. Don’t do anything rash.”
Rebecca clenched her fists. “I won’t. I just want to ask Keera if she knows that she’s just a replacement!”
