My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

741  Chapter 740

Tom received the orders and left. As soon as he was gone, Keira walked in.

Lewis immediately filled her in on the fact that Selena was selling the house.

Keira frowned in confusion but quickly shook her head with a smile, looking over at Lewis.

With his grandmother's recent passing, last night they had just laid in bed and gone to sleep without doing much else. So now, there were things Keira had been wanting to ask but hadn't found the right moment. She went straight for it. "Do you think the South family's ability to predict the future is real?"

Lewis seemed to know she'd bring this up. He wrapped an arm around her shoulders and led her over to the couch. Grabbing his laptop, he opened it and handed it to her.

"I knew you'd have questions about this. I've been looking into the South family for a while now. Here's everything I've found. Their ability to predict the future is by far their most mysterious trait."

Keira was taken aback.

Lewis scrolled through the information on the screen. "These are all the predictions they've made since the internet era began. So far, everything they've said about certain individuals has come true."

He looked at her seriously. "They can predict the exact moment, reason, and place of someone's death. Some people listened to them and dodged disaster; others didn't, and they died right where and when the prediction said they would."

Lewis paused, locking eyes with Keira. "Their predictions have never failed. But in the past few decades since the internet, I've only found a little over a hundred instances where they've shared these predictions."

In other words, the South family's predictions were extremely rare.

In a world with billions of people, only about a hundred or so had ever been predicted by the South family.

Keira furrowed her brow, deep in thought.

Lewis smiled. "Most of these predictions were for some of the world's elite overseas. Those who listened avoided tragedy and became devoted to the South family. The ones who didn't? Well, they're all gone now. Ryan Cobb's case is the first-ever recorded instance of a prediction being made for someone here in Crera."

Keira's eyes lit up. "So, if we want to know if their predictions are real, Ryan Cobb's case will be the one to watch!"

Lewis chuckled and ruffled her hair. "Exactly. We'll see what happens with Ryan. I've got a lot of people keeping an eye on the Cobb family, and I'm making sure we're tracking his every move."

Keira nodded in agreement.

Then she asked, "Lewis, do you believe in the supernatural?"

He shook his head. "No."

"Me neither," Keira said calmly. "So this time, let's test this so-called prophecy and see what it's all about."

"Absolutely."

Lewis took her hand in his. "Keira, always remember: we control our own fate, not the heavens. No one on this earth can dictate your destiny."

Keira gave him a firm nod.

By the time Ryan received the message Lewis had sent through Tom, it was already noon.

He'd just woken up from his daily nap.

Even though he was only thirty, his routine was oddly like that of an elderly man. Every day, he took a twenty-minute nap—it was part of his daily discipline.

As Ryan looked at the message his assistant handed him, he frowned and asked, "What's Gavin up to?" This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

"He's out on a walk with Mrs. Cobb," the housekeeper quickly replied.

Ryan got up, his expression darkening. "I'll go check on them."

He headed downstairs.

From a distance, he could see Gavin holding Selena's arm, the two of them walking slowly in the shade of the garden.

Selena wasn't in the mood for a walk at all!

But Gavin had practically dragged her out, insisting it was good for her health...

Why did she need to be out here just because he was sick and needed the exercise?

Plus, Selena was known for her love of spicy food, and Gavin shared that love. Yet today, lunch had been completely bland.

Was he really making her eat such plain food just because he was sick?

He'd even laid down the law—no spicy dishes were allowed at the table anymore. What kind of control freak was that?

While Selena stewed silently, Gavin sighed.

He was worried that seeing those spicy dishes might tempt her, so even though he loved them too, he hadn't let the kitchen bring any out.

As he looked at Selena, his heart softened. She was his love... even if it cost him everything, he would do whatever it took to make sure she got better.

With this thought in mind, Gavin asked with concern, "Selena, you really couldn't find the deed to the house? How could it just disappear like that?"

Selena sighed. "I don't know where it could be. You know how it is when you're looking for something—it's always impossible to find..."

Gavin frowned. "But I'm in a bit of a rush..."

Selena's eyes flickered slightly. "I'll try looking for it again later."

Just as she finished speaking, a cold voice cut through the air. "There's no need to search anymore."

They both turned to see Ryan approaching, his expression icy. He glanced at Selena before tossing the house deed in front of her.

"Selena, you handed this deed over to someone else, didn't you? Why are you secretly selling and mortgaging the property?"

Selena's face drained of color in an instant.
