243 Someone Looking for You
The driver from the Hortonâs old house had been
waiting all day.â
He intended to just hand the delivery to Fiona and leave, but Mr. Horton insisted he deliver it personally
to Lewis!
So he ended up waiting all day long.
Fiona said Lewis usually came back at noon, yet today, of all days, he didnât come back in time. Hearrived by car at midnight the previous night, exhausted out of
his mind.
He even dozed off outside under the sun!
Rubbing his eyes, the driver handed the package to Lewis and immediately went to sleep in the roomFiona had arranged for him!
Lewis was slightly startled.
He looked down at the package in his hand but felt nothing.
The courier had made the delivery directly, so there
was no name written on it.

Lewis simply wondered what had been sent to the old family homeâ¦
He didnât enter the bedroom with the package but went into his study and sent Tom a message.âMeeting.â
Busy with international affairs in the afternoon, he hadnât dealt with company business.
That night, he was prepared to work overtime, keeping himself busy.
He didnât want to leave himself any idle time for unfounded thoughts; only by keeping busy could hefeel somewhat better.
It seemed he might avoid those troubling issuesâ¦
Lewis despised such behavior from himself.
Yet he couldnât help but act this way.
After Tom called for an international meeting, five hours later, everyone was astonished.
It was 2 a.m. in the morning!
Lewis was normally very health-conscious, not wanting work reports after midnight, and he always

jogged at a fixed time every morning!
But today⦠what was going on?
It wasnât until the sky began to light up in the morning that Lewis stopped working, but he didnât go tosleep. His gaze merely flicked over the package in front of him before he changed his clothes and wentout for a
run.
Another sleepless night⦠To be precise, he hadnât slept in two nights.
Lewis seemed somewhat more disheveled, and his run
was somehow less exhilarating.
The frustration suddenly made him speed up, dashing
five kilometers at a swift pace!
Only when he returned to the bedroom drenched in sweat did he step into the shower, as the coldwater started flowing, his entire body jolted, and the pain that seemed suppressed deep within erupted
like a valve had been opened forcefully.
Lewis suddenly looked up, the showerâs water pouring over his face, and his fists tightly clenched.

After taking a shower, Lewis glanced outside at the
sky.
It was already 7 a.m. and broad daylight.
He had an appointment with Keira that day to get their
divorce.
Thinking about this, the calm he had just regained. weighed on him once moreâ¦
Keira didnât sleep well that night either.
That text message she sent made her feel the situation
was suddenly unpredictable.
Who was that stranger?
Why didnât they want her to divorce?
Contemplating these issues, her melancholy over the impending divorce faded without her noticing,leaving her in intense contemplation.
She got dressed and went downstairs.
Just after breakfast, the nanny came in. âMiss, someone outside wants to see you.â
243 Someone Looking for You
Who could it be?
Could it be the person who sent the text? They did say they would come to see her todayâ¦
But she had arranged to meet the other party at eleven in the morning. Had they arrived early?
She went outside.
When she opened the door and saw the woman in front of her, she was slightly taken aback.
Standing before her was a slender woman in her fifties. She was dressed plainly and probably from thecountryside. She stood there timidly and uneasily.
Was this the person who had sent her the text message?
No, that wasnât rightâ¦
Keira suddenly realized that the person who sent her the text message last night said their child hadjust fallen asleep and needed to be quiet, meaning that the child was still young.
The fifty-year-old in front of her wasnât that person!
Just as she thought about this, the woman had already
243 Someone Looking for You
rushed over, grabbing her arm. âMrs. Horton, youâre
Mrs. Horton, right?â
Keira frowned, âWho are you?â
âIâm Madeleineâs mother!â
After the middle-aged woman finished speaking, Keira immediately realized trouble was brewing!
She blamed herself for not sleeping well the last two
days, which made her mind a half-beat slower, allowing the woman to seize an opportunity.
She wanted to retreat and close the door, but the woman had already clung tightly to her clothes, âMrs.Horton, letâs talkâ¦â
Keira said indifferently, âI donât have anything to talk about with youâ¦â
No sooner had she said this than three or four reporters suddenly popped out from around the corner,all pointing their cameras at her.
One of them said, âMrs. Horton, Iâm live streaming, and the whole internet is following your and Mr.Hortonâs situation. We want to know, what exactly is going on?â
âDid you know he had a girlfriend when you were with
Someone Looking for You
Mr. Horton? Were you the âother womanâ interfering in their relationship?â
âMrs. Horton, is Mr. Horton now planning to turn a blind eye to Miss Davisâs life and death? How do youplan to face the reporters and the public? Donât you feel guilty?â
âMrs. Horton, whatâs your view on this matter?â
Keira frowned, looking coldly at the group of people in
front of her.
She never cared about public opinion, but these
people had found her home, which could cause trouble for her mother!
She said, âSorry, this is a private matter, and I prefer not to disclose it.â
Almost as soon as she said that, Madeleineâs mother
knelt in front of Keira!
She repeatedly knocked her head on the ground until her forehead was bleeding before she stopped.
The reporters immediately directed their cameras at her face, showcasing the wound.
Madeleineâs mother cried out, âMrs. Horton, youâre a
WW3 Someone Looking for You
good person, and you come from a good background, but Madeleine has nothing. She doesnât wantmoney or any benefits. She just wants to be with Mr. Horton⦠Please, let them be together!â
After Madeleineâs mother finished speaking, she knocked her head on the ground again with greatforce. âSheâll die without Mr. Horton. I donât care if you are the âother woman, what exactly is going onbetween you and Mr. Horton, or who Mr. Horton truly loves. I just want to say that Madeleine saved Mr.Hortonâs life when she was little, and he promised to marry her. The state sheâs in now is all because ofMr. Horton, so he must take responsibility for her!â
Keira looked at her and then at the reporters who had already shown sympathy on their faces, and shelet out a cold laugh.novelbin
Madeleine had been abused by her parents as a child, which led to her psychological issues.
Where was this image of a kind-hearted mother coming from?
This was definitely another ruse from the Horton familyâs first branch.

That Selena just couldnât let go!
Meanwhile.
At the Horton family.
The driver from Hortonâs old house woke up and suddenly realized he had forgotten a very importantthing.
Old Mr. Horton had told him he must inform Lewis
that the package was for Stubborn Five!
It was the package he had been waiting for many
yearsâ¦
Remembering this, the driver slapped his head, stood up, walked out, and prepared to find Lewis todeliver the message!
As he stepped out, he saw Lewis striding toward the parking area.
The driver immediately quickened his pace, chasing after him while shouting.
âMr. Horton! Mr. Horton! Mr. Horton Senior asked me to tell you that the package is the one youâvebeen waiting for many yearsâ¦â
