My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

794  Chapter 793

Keira and Lewis had been through so much together that, in a way, they felt like an old married couple.

Knowing Lewis wouldn't interfere with her decisions, she took a few extra moments to explain why she was willing to help Sean.

As they talked, she prepared three dishes and a soup. Then, she checked the steamed rice, finding it wasn't quite how Sean liked it, so she whipped up some fried rice instead.

There was no helping it—someone else had steamed the rice, and the water-to-rice ratio wasn't to Sean's taste. After so many years cooking for him in Oceanion, she knew his preferences well.

Lewis watched her, finally unable to hold back a question. "Do you even know what I like to eat?"

Keira rolled her eyes. "Back then, he was my one big customer, so of course I paid attention. Over time, I realized he preferred every dish to be cooked in just the right way. But you... could you really taste if I changed the water a little?"

Lewis scratched his nose, at a loss. Truthfully, he couldn't. Despite his privileged upbringing, life in the Horton family had been tough; any meal was better than none, so he never got too picky.

He glanced toward the living room. "Honestly, this guy is fussy."

"Enough," Keira shot him a glare. "It's an illness."

"Sure, but I still think he's sharper than he lets on. Be careful around him."

Keira raised a brow. "You think he's really that smart?"

Lewis nodded. "He's good at manipulating people. He has his assistant say all the provocative stuff, then acts weak himself. He knows people's personalities too well."

Keira nudged him. "Well, why hasn't he manipulated you, then?"

He caught her hand with a slight grin. "Ever thought that maybe... he doesn't care about me? He knows I'll listen to you, so he only needs to win you over."

Keira blinked, then Lewis pulled her closer, his arms wrapped around her waist. "He knows I trust you, so he's making a play for your sympathy."

Keira frowned.

Then, Lewis pressed a quick kiss to her lips. "But I'm not insecure. If he's coming around, we'll just keep an eye on him."

Keira nodded.

She loaded the dishes onto a tray and was about to pick it up when Lewis stepped forward, taking it himself before heading to the living room. Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

Keira paused, amused. Even when he was feeling possessive, he still helped her with the food...

She followed him out to the dining area, where Sean was already seated, with his assistant by his side, slowly picking at the food.

The way Sean ate didn't express enjoyment; he looked like he was going through the motions, almost like he was working. Eating seemed to be a struggle for him, but he managed it, one bite at a time, without turning anything away.

His assistant was nearly in tears, watching him eat. "Oh my God, you're a miracle worker, Ms. Olsen! You don't know how much you've helped him. These past four months, we've tried chefs from all over the world, and he couldn't stomach anything!"

Keira was speechless. Was it really that bad?

She offered a sheepish smile. "Well, then I guess Sean can come over for a meal once a week. I'll be around to cook."

"Oh, thank you!" The assistant wiped his eyes, beaming at Sean.

Under everyone's watchful gaze, Sean managed to finish his meal.

Keira had kept the portions small, knowing Sean hadn't had a full meal in ages. Eating too much all at once would likely hurt his stomach.

Gradually, a bit of color returned to his face. He dabbed his mouth with a napkin, then looked at Keira. "Thank you, Ms. Olsen. Four months away, and your cooking has only gotten better."

"Probably," Keira replied lightly.

After all, she'd been cooking for Amy every day at Howard's place when she first arrived in Clance.

Finally, Sean had enough strength to stand. "It was presumptuous of me to come today unannounced. Please accept my apologies."

Keira didn't appreciate his approach, but she understood why he wouldn't have admitted he came for her help outright.

She waved it off, indicating bygones were bygones.

Besides, Sean's visit had reminded her to be more cautious. If a stranger approached her again, she'd be ready.

Sean didn't linger on formalities. "Since I've taken your time and meal, I'd feel it's cheap to repay you with money. If you ever need anything, feel free to reach out."

He looked to his assistant. "Let's go."

Lewis and Keira walked them to the door.

"Where's Mr. Church staying?" Lewis asked.

Sean smiled. "At the Four Seasons for now. Tomorrow, I'll find a place to settle down here."

Casually moving into Clance as if it were nothing... he clearly wasn't ordinary.

Lewis nodded.

Keira watched as Sean climbed into his car. As it drove off, she turned to Lewis. "This guy seems to have a story."

Lewis nodded. "Glad you noticed. I'll have Tom look into it."

"Sounds good." Keira smiled, then headed back inside.

She'd only gone a few steps when her phone chimed.

She checked the screen, and her expression shifted.

Lewis noticed. "What's wrong?"

Keira's lips tightened as she answered, "I had Howard and Amy take a DNA test—Amy's biological father just showed up, and I wanted to be sure."

"And?"

Keira's face grew serious. "They're not related. He's not her father."
