Chapter 398
“We’re…”
….
Just as Keira was about to speak, James interrupted her. “Stop making a scene here and looking for excuses. I’ll just ask you: Are you breaking up with this gigolo or not?”
Keira didn’t know what to say.
She crossed her arms and simply couldn’t be bothered to explain anymore.
She just watched James acting like a clown and hopping mad.
She turned her head to glance at Lewis, who raised an eyebrow but still stood there, smiling at her. ” A gigolo?”
Keira lazily said, “You’re eating my food and living at my place. If you’re not a gigolo, then what are you?”
Lewis couldn’t help but laugh, his gaze brooding as he looked at her. “Well, I am living at your place.”
Keira didn’t know what to say.
She always felt that ever since the two of them got together, he was always ready to flirt.
She coughed lightly and looked away.
But James roared, “Keera, what else do you have to say? Your eyes are practically melting. Don’t tell me you’re still going to deny your relationship with him?”
Keira said, “I’m not denying it.”
“You…”
James was furious. “Don’t think that because Uncle Olsen dotes on you, I’ll tolerate you indefinitely. Let me tell you, as for the Freeman Sect matter, do you still dream of entering the main lineage? Don’t even think about it!”
Keira spread her hands. “Is that so? You’ve tried it, then?”
James was infuriated by her indifferent attitude and turned to leave.
Charles followed him, glancing at Keira. “You! Just you wait!”
The stupid brothers left the South family.
Keira just pursed her lips and closed the door.
As soon as the door was shut, her waist was grasped by a burning hot hand.
Keira immediately pushed him away. “What are you doing?”
“I just wanted to say I not only eat your food and live at your house, but I also want to sleep with you…”
As soon as the last few words were uttered, Keira’s cheeks instantly turned a shade of crimson in embarrassment. She looked down and coughed lightly. “Why are you talking nonsense?”
Lewis chuckled, his voice like a cello resonating in her ear. “I mean, I’ll sleep in your bed. What were you thinking?”
Keira was speechless.
That night, Lewis not only slept in Keira’s bed but also slept with her.
The next day, when Keira got up, she saw the man looking refreshed and satisfied. She couldn’t help but sigh.
“What’s wrong?”
Lewis asked.
Keira replied, “I’m thinking maybe we should sleep in separate rooms.”
Lewis stiffened and immediately coughed. “Is that necessary?”
“Then let’s discuss being more restrained.”
“What about… seven times a week?”
Keira was dumbfounded.
“Then six?”
“…”
“Five, can’t do any less!”
Keira stared at him, grinding her teeth as she replied, “Medical research shows, for a man, twice or three times a week is best for you!”
“You don’t understand.”
Lewis slowly said, “A woman hits her prime at thirty when a man’s ability starts to fade. While I’m not yet thirty, let’s catch up on what I owe you.”
“…”
Keira felt she couldn’t continue this conversation with the man.
Why did it feel like Lewis’s domineering image was about to crack whenever such topics came up?!
“Please maintain your coolness!”
Keira fled from the room and just as she stepped outside, she bumped into Mary, who was just leaving her room. Her eyes were red-rimmed and slightly swollen; she had clearly cried the night before.
Keira’s face tensed up, unsure of how to comfort her. While she was wracking her brain, Mary suddenly turned to her. “Keira, I gave Ellis a divorce agreement and asked him to sign it. Can you… help me with that?”
A DNA test was certainly necessary, but she would help Keira and agree to divorce Ellis after the child was born. Yet Keira didn’t understand. “Do you want to get a divorce right now?”
Mary paused. “I want the child to be born legitimate. Without a father, the child would always be insulted as a bastard, but if born within a marriage, the child would be regarded as legitimate.”
Understanding her point, Keira said, “I’ll help you. You’ll stay with me until you give birth.”
Mary nodded and smiled.
Keira didn’t stay at home with Mary, as today there was an official martial arts competition at the Freeman Sect. The Outer Sect Disciples of the Freeman Sect were those with less talent identified during Bone Assessment and therefore had a tough time progressing to the Inner Sect and becoming legitimate members of the sect. This martial arts competition, although a path to progression, was incredibly harsh on them.
The elimination process was direct: two would fight, and one would win. The selection was done by drawing lots, and bad luck could mean the third-strongest contestant might have to face the strongest. Such misfortune would lead to immediate elimination with no further chance until next year. So each year, those who were relatively weaker might advance through luck…
Keira couldn’t rely on luck.
When she drew her lot at the Freeman Sect, Matias immediately crowded in, frowning. “Keira, your luck is just too bad, isn’t it?”
Keira was slightly stunned. “What do you mean?”
Matias immediately replied, “The person you’ve drawn, Erick Miles, is the most capable fighter amongst Jackson’s men! Facing him is going to be trouble!” He sighed silently, a bit anxious for her. “By the way, after you hit Jackson yesterday, someone saw him going to the Disciplinary Hall. If James hadn’t smoothed things over, you’d be in trouble for assaulting a superior, and the Freeman Sect definitely won’t let it slide.”
The Freeman Sect, being a martial arts family, had strict rules. To prevent disciples from fighting and causing trouble among themselves, the sect managed the hierarchy and ranking very strictly. Keira was somewhat concerned that without James’s protection, Jackson might cause her trouble…
As for James… She touched her chin, wondering whether to clarify her relationship with Uncle Olsen. It felt somewhat wrong. She would wait. After all, the family banquet was in three days, and everything would come to light then.
As for the situation at the Freeman Sect, even if the matter reached the Disciplinary Hall, it would take a few days…
While she was thinking of this, Jackson approached with a scowl, bringing his people and stopping in front of her. “Keira, you assaulted my older brother Austin yesterday. I’ve reported this matter today! Just wait for the Freeman Sect’s punishment!”
Keira glanced at him and casually rotated her fist. “What now? Are you itching for another beating?”
“You…” Enraged but itching to retaliate, Jackson then turned to Erick, his expression darkening. “You’re about to fight Keira soon, right? Make sure you show no mercy! Teach our little Keira a proper lesson!”
Erick immediately nodded, looking darkly at Keira.
Keira raised an eyebrow, unable to resist asking Matias, “Is Erick really that strong?”
“Super strong!” Matias answered. “He’s among the best Outer Sect Disciples, capable of ranking within the top three. The last couple of years, he was just unlucky, always facing the top rankers and ended up staying behind.”
Keira, not knowing much about martial arts, had no idea how powerful her master really was. Hearing this made her worry, “Can I beat him?”
Matias sighed. “Definitely not, Keira. Don’t you have any understanding of yourself?”
Keira was speechless. That wasn’t good!
Suddenly, she felt a bit nervous. If she really couldn’t beat her opponent on stage later and couldn’t escape…
She coughed, took out her phone, and sent Lewis a message. “If I lose later, remember to come back and bail me out.”
