# Chapter 704: The Quiet Storm at Grandma's Side
Hello everyone, it's me again! How are you all doing? Today I will continue to walk with you and review Chapter 704 of "My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire Reviews". This chapter is a tender, tension-filled journey into the heart of family, where grief, duty, and hidden schemes collide. Lewis and Keira are trying to treasure the precious time left with old Mrs. Horton, but an uninvited guest is determined to stir the pot. Let's dive into this emotional chapter together.
---
Keira's heart clenched tightly the moment those words left Lewis's lips. The memory of old Mr. Sims's funeral was still too raw, that suffocating wave of sadness and loss. And now, the thought that old Mrs. Horton—this gentle, fading soul—might soon follow was almost unbearable.
She couldn't even bear to think about it.
If *she* felt this heavy, how much worse must it be for Lewis? He carried so much alone. Keira reached out and gently took his hand, her voice soft but steady. "Lewis, let's put everything aside for now and spend some real time with Grandma."
It wasn't that saving Jodie South didn't matter. It did. But Grandma wasn't suffering from some dramatic illness—she was simply nearing the end of her long, full life, the body quietly surrendering to time. And rescuing Jodie South required timing and opportunity. Erin had already made it clear that the chance to return home only came around every three months, and the next window was still over a month away. Why spend that precious stretch of time chasing shadows? Keira decided right then: she would be present. She would sit beside Grandma, soak in the sun with her, and give Lewis the comfort of shared moments.
Lewis nodded in agreement, the weight on his shoulders seeming to ease just a fraction.
But, of course, Erin couldn't resist chiming in. She popped up beside them, arms crossed, a glint of warning in her eyes. "You think capturing the Special Division means you've got everything under control now? Let me tell you, that lioness in country A is still lurking somewhere, waiting to pounce."
Keira glanced at her, completely unfazed. "Lions don't stalk prey like that. Tigers do."
Erin was taken aback. Her lips twitched. "This is *not* the time for your jokes!"
Keira sighed, a small smile tugging at her lips despite everything. "Erin, there's nothing more important than spending time with family."
Erin paused for a moment, as if the words actually sank in. "Is that so?"
Keira didn't answer. Instead, she squeezed Lewis's hand. "Come on, let's go home."
Lewis nodded, and the two of them headed for the car. Naturally, Erin climbed into the backseat, pulling out her ever-present bag of pistachios and munching away. Keira looked back at her from the passenger seat. There Erin was, wearing a baseball cap, long hair spilling over her shoulders, holding a little trash bag for shells. Despite her constant snacking, she hadn't eaten a single pistachio at the cemetery—out of respect for old Mr. Sims. For someone who always seemed to have something in her mouth, Erin wasn't as annoying as she sometimes appeared.
Keira shifted her gaze and let the silence settle.
Soon, they arrived at the Horton residence. Sunlight bathed the garden in warm gold, and there sat old Mrs. Horton, eyes half-closed, enjoying the gentle heat. Beside her was Selena—Oliver's illegitimate daughter, a girl who seemed to have crawled out of the shadows at the most convenient time. Selena was all smiles, massaging old Mrs. Horton's legs with practiced sweetness.
"Great-grandma, does that feel good? It's nice to sit in the sun like this."
Old Mrs. Horton let out a light chuckle but didn't say much.
Selena pressed on, her voice dripping with eagerness. "I know I wasn't allowed to come home before, which is why I haven't had the chance to show you how much I care. But from now on, I'll visit you every day..."
The old woman's eyes sharpened. "Are you here to keep me company, or to keep an eye on my shares?"
Selena's face froze for just a split second, but she recovered with a bright, practiced smile. "Of course not! I'm here out of genuine care. An elder is like a treasure in the family. My dad says the same thing. It's just that Uncle Lewis has always been taking up your time, so my dad hasn't had the chance to be close to you. But I promise, he's always thought of you."
She kept talking, weaving a web of devotion and grievance. "He often tells me about how he once saved you. Great-grandma, you should let him show his respect and devotion to you. I'm just here on his behalf."
Then she picked up a slice of watermelon from the plate and offered it to the old woman. "Here, have a piece. I just cut it—it's really sweet!"
Old Mrs. Horton replied flatly, "I have diabetes. I can't eat that."
Selena didn't miss a beat, switching to an apple slice. "Apples are low in sugar. Just have a little. It'll help your digestion."
At her age, old Mrs. Horton was simply waiting for time to catch up with her. The elderly often feel an internal heat, as if their stomach were burning, and apples always soothed her. Selena's smile was relentless, her persistence almost shameless. With a hesitant sigh, old Mrs. Horton leaned forward and took a small bite.
Keira and Lewis exchanged a glance from a distance. Keira raised an eyebrow silently: *Do we kick her out?*
But Lewis kept his eyes fixed on Grandma. His jaw tightened. He understood the deeper current here. Grandma had distanced herself from Oliver—because of Lewis. When he was a child, he'd run away every time Oliver came near, hiding from a man he didn't trust. Eventually, Grandma had forbidden Oliver from visiting altogether. But no matter how strained the relationship, Oliver was still her grandson. And Selena's words echoed in Lewis's mind: *Uncle Lewis has always been taking up your time... my dad hasn't had the chance to be close to you.*
What if Grandma herself felt that way? What if, deep down, she regretted cutting off Oliver?
Lewis's throat tightened. He stood silent, rooted to the spot, wrestling with an invisible storm of guilt and doubt.
Seeing his hesitation, Keira stayed still too. She wouldn't move until he gave a sign.
Selena, sensing her opening, pressed forward with renewed confidence. "Great-grandma, about Jake... Dad only punished him to get him to come home and apologize. But then Miss Olsen stepped in and invested in him, making things worse between them. Now they don't even have a chance to reconcile. Great-grandma, if you can, maybe you should talk to Aunt Keira and smooth things over..."
The request hung in the air like a poison slowly spreading. Selena had come not just to charm the old woman, but to chip away at the trust and harmony of the entire family—to place Keira and Lewis in the role of villains who had broken the bonds of blood.
What would old Mrs. Horton say? Would she waver? And would Lewis finally break his silence?
The sun continued to shine, but the shadows in the garden were growing longer.

**Reader's Impressions & Star Rating:**
This chapter is a beautiful mix of quiet tenderness and brewing tension. I loved seeing Keira's softer side—her decision to prioritize family over everything else, and her gentle way of grounding Lewis. At the same time, Selena's presence is absolutely maddening in the best way. She's like a snake wrapped in sweet smiles, and you can't help but want Keira to expose her. The moment with old Mrs. Horton taking a bite of the apple was so realistic and poignant—you can feel her gentle fatigue, her knowing wisdom, and the painful weight of family obligations. I also appreciate how Erin's tough exterior gets a small crack of vulnerability. The emotional layers in this chapter are deep, and I was completely hooked.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Rating: 4.8 / 5 Stars
**Next Chapter Prediction:**
Old Mrs. Horton is wiser than everyone thinks. I predict that even though she took that bite of apple, she won't be swayed by Selena's manipulation. Instead, she might surprise everyone by responding in a way that silences Selena completely—possibly revealing an uncomfortable truth about Oliver's past "saving" incident. Meanwhile, Lewis may finally confront Selena directly, and with the lurking "tiger" in country A still unresolved, a sudden attack or shocking announcement could disrupt the family scene and force Lewis and Keira back into action.
