Chapter 328

The words stunned Christina and Victoria.

….

Both turned in unison to look at Lewis.

Yet, despite being stared at like this, the “college student” remained calm and collected. He sat there with his eyes fixed straight on the tea in front of him, not sparing them a glance.

Christina’s eyes lit up as she couldn’t help but turn to Victoria. “Victoria, although he’s just a common guy, he’s quite good-looking. If Lewis looks anything like him, then he must be decent in both character and appearance! You’ve really gotten lucky this time!”

Victoria also seemed pleased.

Just then, someone retched in the distance.

The two turned their heads only to see Mary’s complexion suddenly change. She covered her chest and retched before rushing toward the restroom.

The two of them pursed their lips in distaste and, turning back, found that Ellis had disappeared.

Mary suddenly felt unwell, and her early pregnancy symptoms caught Keira and her off guard.

Up until just now, Mary hadn’t felt anything at all.

It wasn’t until the waiter brought a plate of pan-fried fish that the strong seafood smell hit her, making her unable to hold back any longer.

Keira held Mary’s arm and hurried into the restroom nearby.

Mary, facing the sink, retched for a while before pushing Keira away. “Keera, I’m fine. Go back inside. I’ll stay here for a bit.”

Keira thought about it and decided not to insist.

After all, Lewis was still sitting outside, and the visitors today included the Davis family…

Just now, the Davis family head, Ken, glanced at Lewis and seemed to have taken a few steps toward him. She couldn’t help but grow more anxious, so she nodded, “Call me if you need anything.”

Keira exited the restroom and looked again toward Lewis. Sure enough, she saw Ken standing in front of him.

Keira tightened her jaw and quickened her steps, just in time to hear Ken speaking, “What’s your name? Have we met before? Why do you look so familiar?”

Lewis, who had always resented the Davis family, didn’t really respond to him but shifted his gaze away.

The young man beside Ken was his son Chad, who immediately frowned and scolded, “Hey, do you know who my father is? My father is speaking to you. Why are you ignoring him? Don’t you know any manners?”

Lewis stood up abruptly.

As he did so, his presence somehow grew, making Chad take a step back.

Then, Lewis looked straight at Ken.

Ken also frowned.

He could sense the hostility emanating from the man in front of him but couldn’t understand why, so he continued to probe with a smile. “Young man, what’s the matter? Do we know each other?”

“No, we don’t.”

Lewis looked at his uncle and turned to leave.

Seeing this, Chad’s frown deepened, “If you don’t know him, what’s with that attitude? Didn’t your mother teach you how to speak to a senior? How can you be so rude?!”

At these words, Lewis halted abruptly, and his piercing gaze, filled with killing intent, shot straight at Chad.

Keira, hearing this, felt like she was about to explode with anger!

How could this man be so annoying?!

She blurted out, “Shut up!”

Abandoning her image of being a pushover, Keira quickly got in front of Lewis, her stance protective like a mother hen ready for battle.

Her eyes focused on Chad. “With that foul mouth, perhaps you should rinse it out before you speak and save everyone from the stench!”

Chad instinctively covered his mouth, then realizing he was being insulted. His rage flared, and he blurted out, “You…”

“I what? Didn’t your mother teach you not to involve a senior when you speak?”

Keira, her demeanor fierce, stepped forward and swatted away his pointing finger. “Before you criticize others, you should take a good look at yourself first!”

Chad was speechless.

Ken was also bewildered, looking at Keira with some confusion. “Miss South, it was just a few harsh words. Chad, aren’t you going to apologize to this gentleman right now?”

Ken wasn’t frightened by Keira; after all, the collaboration was just a project worth a few hundred million. He didn’t need to bow down to a young woman over this bit of money. He just felt that as an elder, he didn’t need to bother with them.

Chad snorted and then turned to look at Lewis. “Fine, I take back what I just said. I’ve offended your mom, and I apologize to her.”

Did he just bring up Lewis’s mother again?

Keira felt the anger in her chest flare up once more. She rolled up her sleeves and was ready to teach Chad a lesson, only to be held back by Lewis.

Lewis looked down with subdued eyes and said indifferently, “There’s no need to apologize, after all…” A glint of ice flashed through his eyes. “I don’t have a mother.”

Chad was startled by Keira’s aggressive demeanor, but after hearing Lewis’s words, he realized his earlier remark had hit a sore spot. Embarrassed, he scratched his head. “Has your mom passed away? Sorry, I really didn’t know about that…”

Lewis didn’t offer any explanation for the misunderstanding but instead, took hold of Keira’s hand and walked away.

Even after they had left, Ken’s gaze lingered on them. Chad then said, “Really, I spoke without knowing the situation. Dad, look at this Keira. Isn’t she said to have a weak character? Where is there any sign of weakness? She’s fierce as death! With her temperament, could she really be so bullied by her ex-husband that she couldn’t raise her head? Just rumors…”

Yet Ken furrowed his brows. “Why do I feel like I’ve seen him before?”

“What?” Chad did not hear clearly.

“Never mind.” Ken gave his son a disapproving glance. “Mind your tongue in the future.”

Ken didn’t say anything else after that.

Even though they had walked some distance, Keira was still fuming, her cheeks puffed up like a blowfish’s. She muttered angrily, “The Davis family is so annoying. If they can’t speak decently, what’s the use of having a mouth? Gosh, I should think of something else to insult them.”

After finishing her rant, she looked at Lewis and suddenly smiled. “I remember you’re pretty good at cursing. Could you do it for me?”

Lewis was perplexed. Help her curse others on her behalf? This woman’s thought process was indeed unique. However… he was rather good at cursing…

This reminded him suddenly of when they had just met, and Keira had posted on social media, where he had joined in cursing in the comments under her post.

Those moments were as clear as if they had happened just yesterday…

Seeing that his expression was lost in thought, Keira sighed in relief. She had successfully distracted him. Then she glanced toward the restroom. She wondered how Mary was doing now.

At this very moment, Mary was doubled over, vomiting violently. Everything in her stomach had been thrown up, and now she was even retching up bile, feeling terribly uncomfortable. How could pregnancy be so painful? She felt as though she had no strength left in her body. Her eyes and nose were reddened from the strain, and her forehead was even beaded with cold sweat.

At last feeling a bit better, she supported herself on the sink, her hand instinctively reaching for the tissue box to pull out a tissue and wipe her mouth. After fumbling for quite a while, unable to find a tissue, a hand suddenly passed her the tissue box.

Hastily, Mary wiped her mouth, then turned her head to say, “Thank…”

But the word of thanks got stuck in her throat because the person standing in front of her was Ellis.
