The Soft-Hearted Wife of Mr. Big Shot-Chapter 169: Gaining Weight Together

"I want some grilled skewers."

Holly Sawyer blinked, ignored Leo’s words, and directly pulled Leo quickly toward the street vendor selling grilled skewers.

Ice cream could be eaten later, but right now she urgently wanted those grilled skewers.

The aroma had already filled the air, it was a strong scent, and Holly felt it had already entered her taste buds.

Leo Grant: "..."

She really is a little foodie.

Holly stood in front of the vendor and ordered several skewers, her eyes sparkling with joy.

Seeing food naturally made her happy, it satisfied her taste buds.

"Brother, will you get me some ice cream?"

While waiting for the skewers, Holly pointed towards the tea shop not far away, speaking to Leo. The shop had a large ice cream sign at the entrance.

"Sure."

Leo nodded and stepped off to get ice cream for Holly.

"Holly."

Hardly had Leo walked far when a voice called from behind, and Holly turned to see Stella Jacobs.

Holly nodded to Stella Jacobs.

Beside Stella stood Sarah Grant, looking at Stella with disdain.

"Are you alone?"

Stella approached, asking kindly.

She had been shopping nearby and came over to grab a bite, not expecting to bump into Holly.

Holly: "No."

Her skewers were ready quickly, and Holly took them and offered one to Stella Jacobs, "Want some?"

Just a polite inquiry.

"No thanks."

Stella shook her head; she seldom ate such fried food.

"Street food vendor."

Sarah didn’t hide her disdain, muttering under her breath.

Although this food street had high-end eateries, driven by wealthy principles, Sarah never ate street food, choosing only upscale venues.

"Look, ice cream."

Leo returned briskly with ice cream, smiling as he handed it to Holly and effortlessly taking her skewers.

"Thanks, brother."

Holly playfully blinked, her eyes full of sparkling joy.

"Leo, long time no see."

Stella greeted Leo warmly, her smile both gentle and soft.

Leo nodded.

"Brother, you’re eating street food now?"

Sarah looked at Leo with her lips pouted, expressing her blatant snub of street food.

Leo retorted, "Do I need you to manage my affairs?"

Sarah swallowed her words, saying nothing more.

She was quite intimidated by Leo.

"Is it sweet?"

Leo looked at Holly, placing his large hand on her head, his voice tender.

"Sweet."

Holly nodded, her face brimming with joy.

The ice cream was sweet.

Though cold, it was genuinely sweet.

Sarah watched Leo with shock, unable to believe how gentle he was.

Stella’s smile remained gentle, though slightly less so as she watched Leo’s interaction with Holly.

Perhaps that’s just the face one has when encountering someone they like.

Leo truly was gentle.

"Sarah, let’s go eat."

Sarah wanted to speak, but Stella gently held her back, shaking her head in reply.

The two of them left together.

"Brother, have some too."

Holly offered ice cream to Leo, blinking eyes full of anticipation.

Leo took a bite of the ice cream, the sweet cold flavor spread through his mouth; though quite cold, the taste was rather nice.

Little girls maybe just fancy this kind of taste.

"Isn’t it sweet?"

Holly blinked, her eyes gleaming humorously.

She liked this sweet taste, loved eating the top layer of ice cream, but not its outer layer.

Leo nodded, "Hmm, very sweet."

Truth be told, he couldn’t fathom why many girls liked sweets; he once found it cloying, now however it seemed quite delightful.

Because of Holly.

Because the girl liked it, so he followed suit.

Sweet treats seemingly could cure a mood, every time the girl finished eating them, her mood was splendid.

Whenever he saw her sweet smile, he’d feel happy as well, smiles are contagious.

"Brother, have some skewers!"

Holly signaled Leo to eat the skewers he was holding, blinking eyes filled with mirth.

She felt she was always making Leo eat, yet his physique was still remarkable, what if all this eating caused him to gain weight?

Leo didn’t refuse, directly picking up the skewers to eat readily.

Not slighting street food, just never had the chance to try before; under Holly’s influence, he now felt used to it.

"Brother, what if you get fat?"

As Holly indulged in ice cream, she blinked, joyfully watching Leo.

Hmm, Leo had looks, height, a great physique, just unsure about abs.

If suddenly he gained weight, lost shape, looks changed too, what kind of experience would that be?

"If I gain weight, then you’ll be responsible."

Leo spoke calmly, a sly smile on his lips.

"What if you become ugly, and I don’t want to be responsible?"

Holly playfully blinked, feigning deep contemplation as her expression showed deliberation.

Hmm, now she truly wanted to see Leo fatter, would it be an amusing sight?

Hmm, she already visualized it.

"If you don’t want to be responsible then I..."

Leo assessed Holly up and down, stopped midway, his eyes carrying a subtle smile.

"What will you do?"

Holly stuck her tongue out, took several steps back, putting some distance between her and Leo, gazing at him warily.

Her instincts told her, nothing good was coming.

"Then I’ll also fatten you up, gaining weight together, so if you find me ugly, I’ll find you ugly too, if you won’t want me, once you leave, no one will want you."

"So, even if you despise me, you won’t dare leave me, you’re still mine."

Leo spoke light-heartedly, his face full of smiles, he meant every word.

Yes, his girl could only be his, if he gains weight, she does too, if he becomes ugly, she will too.

"Tch."

Holly turned away from Leo, strolled deeper down the street, Leo following her.

Whenever Holly found something delicious, she’d stop to buy, and Leo carried everything purchased except what she was already eating.

After making rounds, his hands were full, whereas Holly held only what she was eating.

Leo shook his head indulgently, no wonder she had to come along.
