My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire！ - Chapter 358

358  Chapter 357

The lawyer didn’t understand what Ellis meant, as all previous health checks had been confidential, but upon hearing this, he immediately nodded. “Okay.”

The institutions that conducted tests were mostly closed at night.

Money talks, however, and although the lawyer didn’t reveal Ellis’s information, he still found him a small testing facility.

Ellis put on a mask and a cap to hide his face, followed the lawyer out the door, and quickly arrived at the testing institution.

After providing samples at the testing institution, he left them there as the facility couldn’t immediately give a result.

Even working overtime throughout the night, they would need until the next morning to have results. He left the lawyer behind and drove aimlessly through the streets of Clance.

For a moment, he didn’t know where to go…

Home… thinking about how ardently his parents longed to see Mary pregnant right away, and then considering Mary’s listless demeanor, he didn’t want to go back.

But as for other places… it seemed there was nowhere else to go.

So, he wandered aimlessly, and without realizing it, ended up driving to “Keera’s” place.

His car stopped in front of the house. Seeing that the lights inside were all on, he suddenly got out of the car.

He didn’t enter the house but took out his phone instead.

Before long, Lewis came out.

He was still dressed casually with a lazy posture. After he came out, he looked at Ellis. “It’s your wedding night. Why aren’t you at home? What are you doing here?”

Ellis looked at him, “I’m a bit annoyed. Fancy joining me for a couple of drinks?”

Lewis said, “Sorry, I don’t drink.”

“You can have tea. I’ll drink.”

Ellis walked up to him. “Just for old time’s sake, since we studied abroad together, can you do me this favor?”

Lewis hesitated for a moment.

He coughed, frowned in thought for a brief time, then looked toward the villa again.

Thinking of the cozy scene inside now…

Rebecca hadn’t left and was staying over, claiming she wanted to have an all-night talk with Keira, and he had no idea what they would discuss. Wasn’t Keira afraid of him being taken away?

The mere thought that Keira might not care about him made him a bit stifled.

He looked at Ellis. “Fine.”

He got into Ellis’s car.

The two men drove straight to the bar.

The private room Ellis had just booked was still available. Once they were inside, Ellis ordered several drinks and started drinking right away.

“Tell me…”

He downed a glass and then continued. “What’s going through Mary’s mind? She went to great lengths to marry me, yet I walk out on our wedding night, and she doesn’t care?”

Lewis took a sip of the tea, then looked at his phone.

He had been out for an hour, and Keira hadn’t even messaged to ask where he was…

Lewis couldn’t help but pursed his lips, feeling a bit unhappy. He said bluntly, “They say sweet words of love, but women’s hearts are as deep as the ocean. It’s too hard to know what’s true.”

Ellis immediately nodded, reaching out and holding Lewis’s hand. “We truly are brothers in adversity!”

Lewis coldly withdrew his hand. “I’m not the same as you.”

He calmly stated, “Keira definitely has a place in her heart for me.”

Ellis, having had too much to drink, didn’t catch the difference between “Keira” and “Keera” and blurted out, “Does she? How would you know? Have you seen inside her heart?”

Lewis chuckled scornfully. “I don’t need to see it to know I’m there.”

“Impossible!”

Ellis took another drink. “If you don’t believe it, let’s leave our phones here and see whose woman calls first!”

Having said that, he took out his phone and placed it on the table.

Lewis was speechless.

He twitched the corner of his mouth, not wanting to lower himself to the level of an alcoholic, but inexplicably, he took out his phone and placed it in the corner of the table.

It wasn’t that he was competing with Ellis. He just thought it would be more convenient to pick up her call later.

“Yeah, just like that.”VIssịT n0(v)eL/b(i)(n).𝘤𝑜𝓂 for the best novel reading experience

Lewis thought this to himself, then coughed and took another sip of water.

“Ding.”

Someone’s phone pinged, and both immediately looked at their phones, only to see that Ellis’s phone lit up.

A wave of displeasure immediately surged up in Lewis’s chest.

Ellis grabbed his phone. “It must be Mary. She’s sent me a WhatsApp message, telling me to come back!”

After saying that, Ellis glanced at the screen and then furiously slammed the phone down on the table. “Fuck! It’s an ad!”

Lewis was speechless. Aall 𝒏𝒆west ch𝒂pt𝒆rs on n.o./v𝒆l𝒃i/n/(.)c𝒐m

He oddly felt a sense of relief!

But then, he immediately felt childish. Why had he agreed to such a silly competition with Ellis?

So what if he won?

He and Keira didn’t need this kind of testing!

Proudly telling himself that, Lewis picked up his phone and was about to put it in his pocket when he glanced at the screen.

He discovered there were no new message alerts.

He opened WhatsApp and sent a message to Tom.

Tom immediately replied, “Boss, what’s up?”

Lewis coughed.

It was nothing, he was just checking if there was a problem with the phone signal or WhatsApp, preventing messages from coming through.

Since that wasn’t the case, he was reassured.

He put the phone into his pocket.

Then he started to feel uneasy all over.

What was Keira doing? What was she discussing with Rebecca late into the night? Would they talk about him?

As Lewis was caught in his random thoughts, his phone vibrated.

He quickly picked it up and saw that Tom had sent another message. “Boss?”

Lewis immediately furrowed his brows and replied, “Don’t send random messages if there’s nothing important!”

Tom was dumbfounded.

After venting his frustration on Tom, Lewis once again put down his phone, about to pocket it, but then thought better of it and left the phone on the table instead.

Only when he turned back did he realize that Ellis had fallen asleep at some point…

In front of him were over half a dozen empty bottles.

Lewis’s gaze fell once more onto the phone next to him, staring for a while before he coughed.

His phone screen had lit up just now, it surely wasn’t a message from Mary, was it?

Two hours later. novelbin

Lewis still hadn’t received a message from Keira, and he stood up with a dark face and headed out the door.

Ellis asked groggily, “Where are you going?”

Lewis said, “I’m going home!”

Ellis was dumbfounded.

He paid no mind to Lewis and simply turned over and went back to sleep.

He slept straight through to the next day.

As daylight broke, he slowly opened his eyes and instinctively reached for his phone.

Only then did he see several messages on the screen.

All of them were messages from his lawyer.

Ellis immediately called the lawyer back and heard him say, “Mr. Ellis, the test results are out.”
