Lewis Horton's face stiffened, "No."

Kiera South glanced at him with a smile that was not quite a smile, and she could see a trace of nervousness on that expressionless face.

The man let out an almost imperceptible sigh of relief.

Old Mrs. Horton chuckled, "As long as there's no problem, that's good. Dinner is ready, why don't you come in?"

She said wearily, "Granddaughter-in-law, I'm tired, let's go home."

Kiera South advised her, "Don't push yourself, you should rest at home tonight."
