Ellis’s fists were bleeding.

He stopped his movements and saw that Austin’s face was swollen, his nose and mouth bleeding.

Ellis glared at him. “Speak! You never touched Mary! How could someone like you ever catch her eye!”

Austin clenched his fists tightly.

He really hadn’t caught her eye…

Half a year ago, Mary’s uncle wanted to cooperate with the Gill family, and Austin took the opportunity to ask for Mary.

Mary was beautiful.

Even if her reputation wasn’t good in the circle, many still desired to sleep with her.

Every so often, rumors would spread that someone had slept with her, leading everyone to treat her as a promiscuous woman.

Austin wanted her, knowing fully well she was akin to a high-end prostitute!

Mary’s uncle immediately arranged it upon hearing the request, but unfortunately, after seeing Mary in the hotel, he was beaten up by her.

Then she cursed him and ran away.

He hadn’t succeeded with her, but he’d already bragged about it, so when his good friends asked if he had slept with Mary and how it felt, Austin could only insist that it was great!

This also meant he had no room to retract his claims in their circle.

For a rich heir with little to his name, accustomed to flattery from others, how could he possibly admit he hadn’t slept with her in front of his friends?

So, he gritted his teeth and continued. “Mr. Ellis, I don’t want to lie to you. I really did sleep with her! But I’m definitely not the father of her child… I slept with her half a year ago, and just over a month ago, I saw her leaving a hotel with another man…”

Austin was beaten to a pulp like this and still wouldn’t change his story.

Ellis, along with the DNA report, now fully believed him…

After all, he was infertile, and Mary had told him it wasn’t her first time the night they were together… and now she was pregnant.

Ellis slowly retracted his fists and suddenly chuckled quietly.

How ridiculous!

It was she who had deceived him and married him, yet he was the one defending her!

With a cold laugh, Ellis stood up, staggering as he walked outside.

He rushed into the bathroom, washed his face with cold water, took a deep breath, and leaned against the wall.

At this moment, he suddenly felt a strong urge to express his frustrations.

He took out his phone and searched through his contacts until he saw the message from the call to Lewis the previous night.

After a moment’s thought, he dialed the number.

The call quickly went through, and Lewis’s voice was cold. “What do you want?”

Ellis sneered. “Are you angry?”

“…”

There was silence on the other end.

Ellis then suddenly thought of something. “Don’t tell me, you didn’t go home last night? What? Didn’t Keera call you?”

Lewis’s voice turned colder. “I went home. Why would I need a call?”

Ellis took a deep breath, “Exactly, you went home, so why are you so angry?”

It was obvious!

Even though Lewis had returned home and saw Keira, she, along with Amy and Rebecca, had already fallen asleep in the guest bedroom.

She might not even have realized he was gone for two hours!

That was too much!

Lewis decided that he had to teach Keira a lesson!

As for what kind of a lesson?

Well, he wouldn’t pay her any attention before breakfast!

Lewis felt wronged, but he only said, “You can’t even handle your own life, so stop worrying about me!”

Leaving those words behind, Lewis hung up.

Then, he headed to the dining room.

Usually, it was Keira who got up to prepare breakfast for him and Amy.

Today, they hadn’t woken up yet, which was definitely because they stayed up late the previous night, so he decided to make breakfast for them.

Lewis busied himself in the kitchen.

By the time breakfast was ready, he heard the sound of a door opening and footsteps descending the stairs from the master bedroom upstairs.

Lewis’s face was still dark with anger, but when Keira appeared before him, she was stunned by the sight of three portions of breakfast on the table. “Why did you get up so early to make breakfast?”

Still annoyed with her, Lewis grumbled and said, “Eat it before it gets cold.”

It was breakfast time, and he wasn’t angry anymore!

“Sure!”

Keira sat down and asked curiously, “Have you eaten yet?”

Rebecca, who had come downstairs with Amy, approached the table and placed Amy in front of the breakfast that was clearly intended for a child.

Then she walked to another set meal.

Just as Rebecca sat down, Lewis coldly pulled the breakfast away from her. “Sorry, this one’s mine.”

Rebecca was dumbfounded.

She stared at Lewis in bewilderment and, sensing the chill emanating from him, looked at Keira with a wronged expression.

Upon seeing this, Keira couldn’t help but feel torn between laughter and tears.

She raised an eyebrow but didn’t move, only glancing toward the kitchen. “If you want to eat, make it yourself! The bread slices are ready.”

Since Rebecca once announced boldly that she fancied Lewis, she had to face the consequences herself.

Hearing this, Rebecca obediently stood up. “Okay.”

Then she entered the kitchen, looking pitiful.

Keira pretended not to see it. She merely cast a casual glance and indeed, she saw that Lewis now had a sly smile at the corner of his mouth.

Keira wanted to sigh.

Suddenly, a phrase came to her mind: “A man is ever a boy until the end.”

Lewis was really being childish today!

She shook her head helplessly but passed the fried egg from her bowl to him. “You can have mine.”

Lewis nodded joyfully.

Keira also silently breathed a sigh of relief.

She liked soft-boiled eggs, and the fried eggs today were obviously overcooked, which wasn’t tasty… No, she was definitely just concerned about Lewis.

…

Olsen family.

After Ellis got hung up on, he had nowhere to go.

The office knew he was getting married and considerately gave him a week off, leaving him nowhere to turn.

In the end, he could only go home reluctantly.

When his car stopped in front of the Olsen residence, Ellis was listless, but then his eyes lit up upon seeing a familiar car.

Wasn’t that Uncle Olsen’s car?

He immediately strode through the door and saw Uncle Olsen who, despite having weathered hardships, looked exhausted but had no other expression on his face and no signs of injury.

He immediately let out a breath of relief.

Uncle Olsen also heard his return and put down his phone to look in his direction. Though puzzled as to why his nephew was returning from outside on his wedding night, he still asked the question he cared about most. “Who exactly is Keera’s father? Your father or your second uncle?”

Ellis was speechless.
