Chapter 186 Going to the Olsen Family
Going to the Olsen Family
Uncle Olsen was a senior member of the family, so
they should have visited him
Moreover, between Lewis and Uncle Olsen…
He pondered for only a brief moment before agreeing, then turned to look at Keira.
Seeing this, Keira walked over to his side.
Next to her, Ellis couldn’t help but clear his throat. Remembering Mrs. Olsen and Keira’s opposing positions, and recalling her saving him on horseback, he couldn’t help but remind her, “My uncle is very cold by nature. If you say less when you meet him, he probably won’t make things difficult for you.”
Just as Keira was about to nod, she heard Lewis say, “You don’t have to go. Just stay here with Mrs. Olsen.”
Keira was startled.
Ellis was surprised and said, “Hey, Lewis, do you have any manners? Uncle Olsen is an elder after all. He’s
here, and you don’t bring your wife to meet him?”
Lewis ignored him completely and just patted the back of Keira’s hand. “Don’t worry!
Uncle Olsen was domineering and was bound to make things difficult for Keira after seeing her.
Knowing this, how could Lewis let Keira go and seek humiliation on her own?
After leaving these words, he turned and walked out the door.
Keira stood in place, watching him leave.
Ellis clicked his tongue and then sized up Keira. “I really don’t know what’s so great about you that would make Lewis offend my uncle for you. Keira, are you sure you don’t want to go and see? If you go, at most Uncle Olsen will scold you a few words, but if you don’t, Lewis will be at odds with my uncle.”
Keira glanced at him indifferently and simply said, “I
trust him.”
She had stayed with her grandmother for so long along with Lewis and had some understanding of the things that kept the man busy every day.
Lewis wasn’t as simple as he seemed; it appeared he had his own power base besides the Horton Group.
Without giving it much thought, Keira walked over to a nearby sofa and sat down quietly to watch Mrs. Olsen.
Seeing this, Isla followed Lewis out again.
Outside.
Upon leaving the room, Lewis walked straight toward Uncle Olsen.
Uncle Olsen was still leaning against the wall but shifted his gaze to him, his gaze gradually becoming sharp. “I hear you’ve married the Olsen family’s illegitimate daughter?”
The question was asked with a chilly indifference, consistent with his typical manner of speaking, which left no clue as to his emotions.
Isla’s face brightened with joy, thinking that Uncle Olsen was about to stand up for her!
She immediately looked at Jake.
Jake understood his meaning immediately and said, “Uncle, could you ask your bodyguards to withdraw? Having them stand guard at the door affects my mother-in-law’s medical treatment.”
Uncle Olsen immediately frowned and turned his gaze

back to Lewis, “And there are bodyguards?”
Isla lowered her head, displaying a wronged expression. “Keira made my mom faint with anger, and Dad and I didn’t want her to stay with my mom, so Uncle Lewis brought in bodyguards and took over the hospital room…”
Uncle Olsen looked at her straight away.
Isla’s tearful appearance didn’t appeal to him, and once again he turned to Lewis. “Don’t you think you owe me an explanation?”
Jake and Isla immediately looked at Lewis with anticipation.
Yet they saw Lewis reply indifferently, “Well, it was too noisy; I brought my bodyguards to guard the door to prevent just anyone from disturbing Mrs. Olsen.”
Isla immediately bit her lip. “Uncle, she’s my mom! I have the right to decide who can come in and who can’t! And Keira, my mother fainted because of her. Please take her away. I don’t want my mom to wake up and see her! What if she gets upset again?”
Uncle Olsen’s gaze was stern as it settled on Lewis,
emanating a powerful presence.
It seemed that if Lewis’s response wasn’t satisfactory, he wouldn’t let the matter drop.
Despite the tension, Lewis remained calm. After seeing Uncle Olsen finish his cigarette, he took out a pack from his pocket and handed one to him.
Uncle Olsen took it reflexively, continuing to watch Lewis.
Lewis said, “I guessed you might come, so I prepared cigarettes, but I don’t smoke and don’t have the habit of carrying a lighter with me.”
Uncle Olsen paused slightly.
He took out his lighter, lit the cigarette, and then began speaking. “Don’t think that by handing me a cigarette, I’ll let you off the hook. Speak.”
Lewis began, “Before Mrs. Olsen fainted, she seemed to have something to say while holding Keira’s hand. A for the bodyguards, it’s impossible to dismiss them.”
Isla immediately frowned.
She hadn’t expected Lewis to be so assertive in front of Uncle Olsen!
She quickly looked at Uncle Olsen as if waiting for him
to give her an explanation, but saw Uncle Olsen simply lower his eyes and say indifferently. “Don’t disturb her.”
Lewis continued. “The guards are there to ensure Mrs. Olsen isn’t disturbed. You don’t need to worry about that.”
Uncle Olsen nodded, and then he didn’t say anything else.
Isla was flummoxed.
She looked shockingly at Uncle Olsen, then at Lewis, and combining the conversation after the two met with the fact that Lewis had prepared cigarettes for him, she suddenly realized something, “Uncle Olsen, do you know Uncle Lewis?”
“Yes, we’ve had dealings before.”
Uncle Olsen’s tone was still cold.
Isla was stunned!!
Lewis looked at her. “I still have things to discuss with Mr. Olsen. You can go back inside.”
Isla and Jake dared not disobey the order and left.
After the two went inside, Uncle Olsen finally turned to Lewis. “I asked you to visit the Olsen family to check on Mrs. Olsen and see whether the illegitimate
daughter was causing any trouble. Who told you to marry that illegitimate daughter?”
His tone finally changed from the chilly demeanor before, carrying a hint of reproach.
Lewis lowered his gaze.
When Jake and Isla got engaged and paid the formal visit to the Olsen family, he personally accompanied Jake as the head of the Horton family, all because Uncle Olsen asked him to help check on how Mrs. Olsen was doing.
As for why he married Keira…
He didn’t give much of an explanation, “Because I like
her.”
Uncle Olsen’s frown deepened. “Then take good care of her. If she really makes Jodie uncomfortable, I won’t spare her for your sake!”
Lewis replied assertively, “Husband and wife are one. If you dare lay a hand on her, then I can only choose to
stand by her aide”
Uncle Olsen sneered. “The wolf cub has grown up and dares to challenge me now. Do you think you are my opponent?”
Lewis said calmly, “Let’s try.”
Inside the hospital room.
Unable to hear the conversation outside clearly, Ellis grew anxious. “What are my Uncle and Lewis talking about? Will they start fighting? It would be great if they did, to give Lewis a taste of being suppressed, so he doesn’t get too arrogant!”
As they were talking, Keira’s phone suddenly rang.
She hung up directly.
But it rang again. Keira glanced at it with a frown and ultimately decided to take the call and step out into the hallway to answer it, not wanting to disturbs Olsen.
Keira opened the door and walked straight out.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
