My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

Chapter 138 - 138:  Here He Comes

Keira looked at Isla's cellphone, only to find her chatting with someone she didn't know.

The other party had sent a message. "I'm already at the entrance. Which private room is it?"

Isla had sent the name of the room.

The other party wrote, "I'll be there in a moment."

This puzzling chat history left Keira full of bewilderment. At that moment, there was a commotion at the entrance, and everyone looked over.

Outside, Lewis's steps halted slightly as he suddenly turned his head.

Following behind him, Tom couldn't help but ask, "Boss, aren't you going in?"

But when he noticed the direction of his gaze, Tom then turned his head and saw a man in work clothes, with traces of mud on him, stride in.

Scott had specially washed his face today, but he hadn't had time to change clothes.

Moreover, in his own country, dress codes weren't that important. Events like a high school reunion were just about everyone getting together to have fun. Someone of his background wouldn't be looked down upon, as no matter what he wore, he'd be praised anyway.

So he didn't think much of it and, after arriving beside the two, he smiled politely and asked, "Excuse me, is this the Purple Bamboo Garden Room?"

Lewis clenched his jaw tightly, while Tom looked up at the name of the room, nodded, and asked, "Are you also here for the high school reunion?"

"No, I'm here to find Keira."

Scott smiled and then pushed the door open and entered.

Tom was stunned. He turned to look at Lewis. "Boss, what's his relationship with Miss Olsen?"

Lewis almost gnashed his teeth and said, "How should I know!"

Inside the private room.

After the door was opened, Scott walked in.

Keira wasn't sure if it was her imagination, but it seemed that in the instant the door opened, she caught a glimpse of Lewis.

But wasn't he supposed to be catching up on sleep?

How could he be here...

Keira felt she must have been mistaken. As she was pondering, Erin's annoyingly sharp voice suddenly rang out. "Keira, is this your husband?"

Husband?

Keira looked at Scott, puzzled, feeling he seemed vaguely familiar but couldn't recall where from. After all, when she gave him an umbrella yesterday, his face was all covered in mud. With his clean face today, people could see his striking features.

His foreign features made him exceptionally handsome. He was even better looking than the celebrities on television. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

He was such a ruggedly handsome man that just by standing there, he could make everyone else in the room seem lackluster by comparison.

He was almost as handsome as Lewis.

Keira was about to shake her head when Erin sneered. "Keira, he isn't a bricklayer from the construction site, is he? Why did you find someone like him? Is it because he looks good?"

Hearing this, Isla hastily spoke up, "Erin, don't say that; every profession should be respected."

After these words, Isla pointed to the seat beside Keira. "Excuse me, give up your seat for Keira's husband. Don't make him stand."

The male classmate originally sitting next to Keira stood up, vacating the spot.

Scott walked up to Keira, smiling slightly, "Miss Olsen."

Keira frowned, "Who are you?"

Scott was just about to introduce himself when Erin laughed. "Keira, what are you up to again? Don't tell me you're pretending not to recognize your own husband."

Keira frowned. "I don't know him."

Hearing this, Scott was also confused, "I, I'm not her husband."

Although his accent was strange, he did understand the special meaning of the word "husband."

The last time he went to the Olsen residence, nobody had mentioned that word in front of him, so he hadn't understood what they meant, but this time, he was ready to object.

Their back and forth left everyone present momentarily stunned.

Jake's gaze fell on Scott, and with a sneer, he said, "Not her husband, yet you were visiting the Olsen residence yesterday. Keira, could it be that you disdain him, so you're denying him in front of everyone?"

This remark made everyone turn their eyes toward her.

Keira scowled, "Visit what Olsen residence?"

She looked at Scott, "You went to the Olsen home yesterday?"

Scott nodded. "I did, to bring you an umbrella."

Isla smiled. "Yesterday, there was a light rain, but Keira had cars to pick her up and drop her off. She wouldn't need an umbrella. You're way too anxious about her... Keira, although your husband's job isn't great, he really does care about you. It's not very nice of you to treat him like this."

Her tone of reproach was as though Keira had let down Scott.

Keira was utterly baffled. "I honestly don't know him."

Scott immediately waved his hands in apology/ "I'm sorry. I didn't realize this was the situation. Perhaps I shouldn't have come looking for you. I am truly not Miss Keira's husband; please, everyone, don't misunderstand her, my apologies!"

However, the more he said this, the more the people around them were convinced.

Who hadn't seen one or two TV dramas before?

Children were ashamed of their parents picking up trash or collecting bottles at school and would pretend not to recognize them. The audience knew this plot all too well!

At this moment, Scott looked just as pitiable as those parents who didn't dare acknowledge their own children.

Everyone began to speak.

"Keira, every profession deserves respect. Without people like your husband, there would be no high-rise buildings for us to live in. You shouldn't look down on him."

"Dr. South, it's really okay for you to admit it. After all, you have your own status here, you don't need to marry someone so amazing anymore. You're a tycoon on your own! You have a gigolo, but we won't say anything... "

"Dr. South's husband indeed looks very handsome, and he doesn't rely on marrying Dr. South or living off a woman. He continues to work outside, making a living with his own hands, so he can't be bad..."

Charles was also baffled.

The company was recently preparing to go public. He was aware of that, and not long ago, when he went to report to Mr. Morgan, he had overheard a conversation.

It was about how Dr. South would marry someone—anyone—just to help with the company's IPO.

So Dr. South and Scott really were husband and wife, right?

They must be a contractual couple...

But seeing Scott's expression, it was clear that he was deeply in love with Keira, while she was very cold to him.

Even though he understood the marriage was for show, Charles still felt Keira was being too harsh. Not yet sure of the truth, he kept silent.

Erin then said sarcastically, "Keira, you say he's not your husband, but do you have any proof? Unless you call your actual husband over here and show us your marriage certificate, otherwise, stop putting on this act here!"

Just as she finished speaking, the door to the Purple Bamboo Garden Room was pushed open, and Lewis strode in!
