Chương 19: She Has Always Known

Keira stared dumbfounded at the marriage certificate in her hand.

She suddenly realized, that the first time old Mrs. Horton saw her, she called her "granddaughter-in-law". The old lady had known all along that Keira and Lewis were married!

Keira felt that she had found a clue.

She immediately asked, "Grandma, how did you come by this marriage certificate?"

Old Mrs. Horton was taken aback, her eyes growing a touch bewildered. "I... I can't really remember."

Keira continued. "How did Mr. Horton and I come to be married?"

Old Mrs. Horton just shook her head. "I don't recall."

Keira grew somewhat anxious. "Grandma, please try to think back... "

"Enough!"

Lewis said unhappily, his towering figure standing between the two women. His eyes were cold when he asked, "Miss Olsen, is this certificate real?"

"Of course."

Lewis's face darkened. "Are you going to say we don't need to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau now?"
