Chapter 348: Chapter 348 Ah Yang, Your Brother is Driving Towards Me!
Abigail received Adam’s gift, and the old man also brought out his present.
It was a pair of Piers jade bracelets.
The last time the old man gave them, they didn’t fit Abigail’s size. Afterward, he specially found someone to craft a pair of ink jade bracelets from a piece of emperor ice species jadeite, which were extremely beautiful. Originally, he planned to find an opportunity to give them to Abigail. Unexpectedly, it was just right for today.
Abigail was already fair, and the ink jade bracelet made her look even more delicate.
Now that the old man had given his gift, everyone couldn’t help but look toward Brandon Piers.
Brandon suddenly found himself the center of attention. His face showed no emotion. “Do I still need to give a gift? I’ve already gotten so many for her.”
The crowd, “…” Damn, shameless!
Abigail looked at everyone’s dumbfounded expressions and couldn’t help but laugh. At this time, the scent of barbecued meat in the yard became even more enticing. Looking at the nineteen-layer pink cake on the table, she couldn’t help but sniff. She turned her head, looking expectantly at Brandon. “Can we start eating now?”
She had had enough of dieting meals these past days. Now, smelling the barbecue, she was really craving it.
Brandon reached out and tapped her forehead. “Hmm, let’s start.”
Instantly, cheers erupted in the yard.
Little Teddy, seeing so many people gather for the first time, was not shy at all. Instead, he was extremely happy. Normally, he would be sleepy at this time, but today he was dancing around. Sometimes, he was teased by one person, other times, patted by another, giggling happily.
The whole yard was set up quite warmly, with several grills arranged.
Adam had originally planned to slip away early. Who knew that once he smelled the barbecue, he couldn’t move, using his long arms and legs to grab the meat to eat. Finally, he rolled up his sleeves and started grilling with Noel Roberts.
Noel laughed. “Little brother, you’re in the mood, huh?”
Adam, “…”
Brandon, who was slicing meat for Abigail, glanced at the chubby-faced kid, and turned his head. “You can choose to go along with it.”
Adam, “…” He might not understand the adult world yet.
Unexpectedly, the old man also heard it and glared at Adam. “You are the only boy of the second branch. If you dare to go crooked, I’ll have your father break your legs.”
Adam, “…”
A soul-searching question. Why did he come?
Abigail watched Adam’s expression change from being stunned to bewildered and finally to disbelief. She couldn’t help but laugh out loud, poking Brandon’s arm with her fingertip. “Why are you so bad?”
“A bad child should be dealt with poison,” Brandon replied nonchalantly.
Abigail couldn’t help but look at the man in front of her. “What about you?”
“What about me?” Brandon raised an eyebrow.
“Aren’t you also a bad child?” Abigail smiled.
Unexpectedly, Brandon suddenly sat on the chair next to her and leaned closer to Abigail. “Where am I bad?”
“You…” Abigail looked at Brandon’s striking face, feeling her heartbeat become unsteady. The man had a serious look on his face.
“Mm?” Brandon asked again, more interested.
Abigail told herself that if it were her last life, she would’ve been two years older than this man. As his elder sister, she couldn’t panic.
“You’re not bad?” Abigail asked back, taking a sip of water to hide her nervousness.
Brandon nodded as if contemplating. “Well, perhaps. But where am I small?”
A little fool who had just turned nineteen dared to say he was small.
“Ahhh…” Abigail didn’t pay much attention and started coughing violently, her almond eyes full of disbelief. What kind of question was that?

Brandon reached out to gently pat Abigail on the back. “A question made you this emotional?”
“N-nothing.” Abigail avoided Brandon’s gaze. She couldn’t possibly say she had good hearing and caught every word of Adam and Noel’s conversation, and then his question just made her think wrong, could she?
Brandon looked at Abigail’s flushed cheeks and suddenly smirked wickedly. “I don’t know if I’m small or bad, but you definitely have bad thoughts about me.”
“Who has bad thoughts about you?” Abigail anxiously retorted, unknowingly raising her voice. It caught the curiosity of those around them, with some displaying understanding expressions.
Abigail, “…”
“I’m eating meat.” Embarrassed beyond words, Abigail lowered her head to eat the barbecue.
Brandon, with a mischievous grin, poked her cheek. “Eat in moderation. Don’t let all your hard work go to waste.”
“You…”
Phew!
Abigail looked down at the delicious barbecue. Should she eat it or not?
The old man saw this and glared at his grandson. “Abigail, don’t be afraid. You’ve lost dozens of pounds. It’s okay to eat a little. This is beef. It won’t make you fat.”
Abigail felt comforted and couldn’t help but take another bite sneakily. When she looked up, she saw Brandon teasing her. Feeling embarrassed, she retorted, “So what if I’m fat?”
“Mm, I don’t mind,” Brandon said, then took a bite of the barbecue from Abigail’s plate. “Tastes good.”
Abigail, “…” This damned man. Did he really look like he didn’t mind?
Brandon, seeing Abigail almost explode, laughed even more joyfully.
Not far away, Adam watched in shock. The meat in his hand was burning.
Next to him, Noel nudged him kindly. “It’s burnt!”
“I must be blind!” Adam, standing at the grill not far from the dining table, had witnessed the entire interaction between Abigail and Brandon. He now felt his young heart couldn’t handle it. He couldn’t believe the man who smiled as warmly as a spring breeze was the Brandon he knew.
Over the years, who in the Piers family hadn’t suffered under him? Everyone knew that the more gentlemanly and elegant he smiled, the more you needed to be cautious.
But now?
Although he was still smiling, it was completely different from the smile everyone knew. This one was genuinely from the heart and even carried a bit of tenderness.
My God, he must be blind. Suddenly, he remembered his subordinate’s comment. Maybe Master Brandon really liked chubby girls.
At the time, he thought the subordinate was crazy. Wouldn’t he know what kind of person Brandon was? Dark, picky. Finding a chubby girl?
Now he felt he might need to give that guy a raise. His eyes were sharp.
What puzzled Adam even more was the nonchalant attitude of everyone present. Could it be that everyone already knew?
While Adam’s eyes were almost popping out, Noel leisurely sprinkled a handful of cumin powder on the barbecue and advised Adam, “Focus on grilling. Don’t act like you’ve never seen the world.”
Never-seen-the-world Adam, “Damn!”
Suddenly, he felt his dad and third uncle’s manpower and financial efforts were wasted. They constantly investigated what was special about this chubby girl and worried what trick this monster would pull next. But they were just focused on love.
A mouthful of old blood blocked Adam’s chest. He didn’t know if he should explode or not.
“Was the gift worth it?” Noel asked mischievously, looking at Adam.
Adam gave Noel an awkward yet polite smile and then sprinkled a handful of chili powder on the nearly done meat Noel was grilling.
Noel, who couldn’t eat spicy food, “…I’ll kill you, you bad kid!”
Lucy Graham laughed. “Noel, remember your image, your image!”
