BXBX NOVEL Chapter 307
The hug just now had nearly revealed her identity… Now, even if she denied it, Lewis wouldn’t believe her.
But what if she admitted it?
They still couldn’t be together…
As she was deep in thought, Mary’s voice came from outside. “Keera, Keera! I’m here to keep you company!”
With those words, Mary burst energetically through
the door.
Upon seeing Lewis, she was momentarily taken aback “Who’s this?”
Her gaze fixated on his face, examining it for a long time before she finally spoke with confusion. “You look… so familiar?”
Seeing this, Keira quickly said, “Mr. Horton, if you
have w other matters, you can leave now. Mary
don’t

and I have things to discuss.”
Mary is from the Davis family!
Lewis’s biological mother was also from the Davis family; she should be Mary’s paternal aunt!
Lewis didn’t resemble the other Hortons much, so he
probably took after his mother… That was why Mary thought he looked familiar.
Lewis, upon seeing a member of the Davis family, indeed calmed down. He clenched his jaw, stayed silent for a long while, and eventually said, “Keira, I don’t know what you’re up to, but I’ll come back for you.”
Leaving these words behind, he strode away with his assistants and bodyguards in tow.
After everyone had left, Mary teased Keira with a win “Keera, who was that guy? Is he interested in you? But he sure pronounces your name strangely…”
Of course, it was strange.
He was calling her Keira, not Keera.
Keira complained inwardly and asked, “What are you
here for?”
Mary grabbed her hand. “Didn’t you just get divorced? Tonight, I’m taking you to a fun place to celebrate!”
Keira felt a warmth in her heart.
She knew Mary was afraid Keera would be upset…
She laughed. “That won’t be necessary. I still have to look after Amy.”
But Amy came over, took Keira’s hand, and said understandingly, “Mommy, you go have fun with Mary. I’ll be fine with Ruth!”
Mary, however, bent down and picked her up. “How could I leave you behind? The place we’re going to tonight is also suitable for Amy. Let’s go, your godmother will take you to have some fun!”
Holding Amy, she headed out, leaving Keira with no choice but to follow behind.
Soon, Keira realized that Mary had brought her to an indoor amusement park.
This amusement park wasn’t only suitable for children, but also for adults their age.
Mary laughed. “When we were little, we often came
here to play. We said that when we had kids, we’d

bring them here too. Keera, I’ve wanted to bring Amy here for so long, but she was too young at first and
later on…”
Later, they had lost contact and never had the chance.
Keira lowered her eyes. “Mary, I’m sorry.”
She believed if her sister. were still alive, she would have said the same thing to Mary.
Mary waved it off. “Hey, why say such things? Amy, come on, I’ll take you to play in the ball pit!”
“Yay! That’s awesome!”
The ball pit was huge and filled with all sorts of colorful balls. There were slides to go down from above. Mary took Amy down the slide in her arms
They were afraid that Amy was too young and wou be scared to slide, but they hadn’t expected the litt one to fall in love with the activity and even want to down by herself.
Mary and Keira exchanged a glance and smiled, then let Amy slide down on her own.
There was only one passage, so Mary slid down first.
She made an exaggerated gesture and shouted loudly; after sliding down, she got buried in the ocean of balls, yelling, “Amy, come find your godmother!”
Amy giggled and slid down, then started moving the balls aside next to Mary, trying to pull her out.
Keira watched and couldn’t help but laugh…
As Amy was moving the balls aside, suddenly a chubby five-year-old boy threw a ball at her.
The balls were soft rubber, so even if they hit someone, it wouldn’t hurt. Besides, everyone was throwing them around in the ball pit, so Amy thought the little chubby boy was just playing with her.
Amy, being good-natured, picked up a ball and to it back gently, hitting the little chubby boy’s arm.
But the chubby boy erupted in anger. “Why did yo
throw it at me!”
Amy was startled by his shouting and said timidly, “So-sorry… I thought you were playing with me…”
Before she could finish, the little boy burst into tears, crying out, “Mommy, she hit me with the ball!”
Keira sensed something was wrong and immediately

rushed down, with Mary also emerging from the sea of
balls.
But both their reactions weren’t fast enough…
At that moment, a woman dressed extravagantly suddenly rushed over and slapped her across the face, then pushed Amy forcefully!
The push was so powerful that Amy almost flew off the ground. She slammed hard into the sea of balls!
The tiny Amy was instantly terrified and began flailing her arms in the balls, crying out loudly.
Keira and Mary almost reached Amy at the same time. They scooped her out of the balls, and Keira hurriedly embraced the little one.
Even though Amy wasn’t her daughter, over the past month they had spent all their time together, and Am shared a mysterious blood connection with her as if she was her only relative in this world.
Keira felt tremendous affection for her.
At that moment, she quickly tried to calm her. “Amy, good girl, don’t cry, don’t cry… Mommy’s here…”
Amy was used to being mistreated by Howard’s

mother at home and hadn’t been hit or scolded for a
month, so though she was initially frightened, she stopped crying when she heard “don’t cry” and clamped her mouth shut, hiccupping a sob.
Keira’s heart ached at the sight.
Mary was staring at the aggressive woman. “What are you doing!”
The woman who had pushed was just comforting the chubby boy, and when she heard Mary, she turned around and sneered. “That’s the question I should be asking you, isn’t it? Someone get the manager here! I want to know, what should be done about this little girl throwing a ball at my son without any reason!”
Her attitude was extremely haughty as she point Amy and scolded. “What kind of riff-raff are you? dare you come here to play? You have no family discipline at all! Who gave you the right to throw a at my son? Do you even know who we are?!”
Upon hearing this, someone immediately whispered a warning.
“She’s Miss Olsen, the niece from the Olsen Group!”
“What? So it’s her no wonder she’s so arrogant… The
Olsen Group’s families have always wished for a daughter but never had one, that’s why they brought in this distant niece to be raised in the main branch, pampered from a young age… And her brothers are not to be messed with, especially Mr. Ellis, who’s known as a real-life demon!”
“You better apologize quickly; otherwise, this won’t end well!”
Upon hearing this, Mary was furious, “No matter who you are, this is a matter between children, and it’s not right for an adult to lay hands on them so casually!”
The woman scoffed. “So what if I hit her? What are you going to do about it?”
“You!”
Mary was so angry her face turned iron blue. T moment, Keira patted her on the shoulder.
She turned around to see the usually timid Keera, yet terrifying at that moment.
Keira handed Amy to Mary with a voice that seemed different than usual, sinister somehow, “Hold Amy for
me.”

Mary was slightly stunned, not understanding her intention, but subconsciously took Amy.
Then, her eyes widened in shock!!
