Reborn as Mr.CEO's Fat Wife-Chapter 349 - : Suppress the Throbbing Heart

Chapter 349: Chapter 349: Suppress the Throbbing Heart

“Hahaha…”

The elegant old house was filled with the laughter of adults and children, and the whole atmosphere was full of life.

Abigail Green rested her chin on her hand, looking at the lively courtyard, and her heart was filled with a strange sense of satisfaction.

Brandon Piers had someone bring over a rocking chair and placed it next to Abigail. He leaned lazily, displaying an air of idle elegance.

By several grills, a pastry chef was making desserts. The aroma of meat was mixed with a sweet smell. Kelvin Max and Kennan Max skillfully brought out a few bottles of fine red wine from the cellar. Noel Roberts grabbed a bottle and poured it over the freshly grilled beef. The summer evening breeze lightly swept by, carrying a drunken sweetness.

The old man teased little George Piers, who was dozing off while listening to soft music, with a teething toy.

Lucy Graham and David Locke enjoyed their wine while chatting about the new movie they were going to shoot, occasionally grabbing a piece of meat from Noel or Adam, which caused them to grumble in disgust. Everyone was comfortable and content, without the need to stay in one spot.

Aunt Claudia knew that Abigail was living better with the Piers family than with the Green family, but today’s experience completely refreshed her understanding.

It even refreshed her past perception of wealthy families.

She was very at ease, chatting casually with Aunt Pritt in the kitchen while skewering vegetables, feeling unprecedentedly relaxed.

Brandon turned his head to look at Abigail, who was resting her head on her hand, and pointed at the grills of Noel and Adam. “Want to give it a try?”

Abigail shook her head. “I’m more suited for carving meat.”

Brandon, “…”

Abigail thought he didn’t believe her, so she pointed at a cleaned rabbit on the plate. “I can dissect it for you, dividing its meat perfectly.”

“Just sit tight.” Brandon suddenly felt a faint pain in his chest. Was this girl thinking of him as a rabbit when she performed surgery on him back then?

“Oh.”

Brandon, “…” What was with this disappointed tone over not dissecting the rabbit?

Abigail resumed looking at the lively courtyard, propping up her head again, seeming never to have experienced such a moment.

She had lived alone with her grandfather when she was younger, carried the reputation of a genius throughout her adolescence, and rushed from one operating room to another in adulthood, leaving her with a vague sense of home.

But at this moment, she suddenly felt as if she had a home.

The man beside her, the baby in the stroller, Grandpa Piers, who still had a childlike heart, and these friends who, although unrelated to her, suddenly became intimate.

It was a magical experience.

And it all stemmed from the man beside her.

“Brandon, thank you.” Just as Brandon felt annoyed that Abigail ignored him, Abigail suddenly turned her head and looked at him earnestly.

When Brandon met Abigail’s solemn and bright eyes, he felt somewhat embarrassed and rubbed his nose with his knuckles. “Thank me for what? It was Grandpa who insisted on throwing this for you.”

“I see.” Abigail was not surprised by this answer, but she wasn’t particularly disappointed either. She gently responded and rested her head on her hand again.

“That’s it?” Brandon thought the girl would say something more, but that was it? For a moment, he felt an inexplicable sense of disappointment and frustration.

Abigail looked at him in bewilderment. “Hmm?”

“Hah!” Brandon, dissatisfied, reached out and ruffled her hair.

Abigail’s hair, freshly washed that evening, was instantly a mess under his hand. Just as she was about to get angry, Brandon suddenly turned his head and pressed his finger to her lips. “Shh!”

Taken off guard, Abigail felt a sudden electric shock run through her body. As she trembled slightly, the lights in the courtyard dimmed, and then there was a “biu” sound, followed by a “boom,” as a massive colorful flower burst in the sky.

More fireworks followed, exploding in the sky and scattering into the most brilliant blossoms, illuminating the entire sky, dazzling and captivating.

Abigail opened her mouth slightly in surprise. The others were also drawn to the fireworks, looking up at the beautiful moment.

Brandon, observing the girl’s reaction, couldn’t help but chuckle slightly.

Realizing she had been staring, Abigail turned to the man. “You planned this?”

“A gift too. Do you like it?” Brandon asked softly.

The fireworks continued, like a beautiful encounter.

Abigail lightly nodded. “Yes, I like it.” How could she not like it? His thoughtfulness made her feel loved and cherished, a feeling that was novel and extremely alluring, making her reluctant to let it go.

Hearing Abigail’s approval, Brandon’s mood felt like a teenager’s joyfulness, unable to contain his excitement.

As the fireworks exploded in the dark night, his heart was filled with sweetness. He reached out to ruffle Abigail’s hair again, and she involuntarily looked at him, catching his gentle smile.

Boom!

At that moment, another firework exploded against the night sky, lighting him up across from her. Abigail couldn’t help but feel a deep stir within her heart, blooming with the colorful lights.

It was over. She had been charmed by this man once again.

Brandon looked at the girl in a daze, feeling utterly satisfied.

Abigail couldn’t bear Brandon’s gaze any longer and awkwardly stood up. “I’m going to check on Teddy.”

Without waiting for Brandon’s response, she walked over to Teddy like she was trying to escape. The little one, with a pacifier in his mouth, had already fallen asleep. Kelly covered his ears, and he was lying in the stroller, sleeping peacefully, obviously exhausted from the day’s activities, completely unaffected by the surroundings.

Kelly teased Abigail when she came over. “The second young master really treats you well.”

Abigail glared at Kelly but didn’t deny it.

The man indeed treated her very well, so well that she could hardly keep her heart in check.

But… thinking of his bad habits and his earlier response, Abigail chose to remain silent. In her past life, she had never been in a serious relationship. She hadn’t figured out her own feelings yet, and she thought it best to go with the flow for now.

After all, they were going to get married, so whether she fell in love shouldn’t matter, right?

Especially if the man’s intentions weren’t as she thought, saying it out loud would make things awkward for both of them.

Just like when she thought her senior liked her, thinking they were mutually aware of each other’s feelings. But she died suddenly, and he openly got together with her assistant. What if she had confessed then?

They might not have been able to maintain their final friendship.

As for her and Brandon, it was more complicated. She was in someone else’s body, enjoying all the warmth that belonged to Abigail. How could she love and accept love sincerely?

She didn’t even know if the man treated her well because of the baby, their past intimacy, or because of Grandpa Piers. So, how could she dare to let herself truly fall in love?

As the last firework faded from the night sky, Abigail pressed down the sprouting feelings within her. The matters of the heart were too complex; she didn’t want to be the one left embarrassed first.

She couldn’t be brave back then, and even now, with a new outer shell, she still lacked the courage.

“What are you thinking about?” Kelly was ready to take Teddy back to bed. She called Abigail a few times without a response and noticed the girl was standing by her side, daydreaming. She asked softly.

Abigail snapped back to reality. “Nothing.”
