Reborn as Mr.CEO s Fat Wife

Chapter 239: Chapter 239: You don’t want to marry me?
 

Abigail’s face was full of confusion.

Why did she detect a hint of jealousy in this man’s words? Was he jealous?

That shouldn’t be right.

But under Brandon Piers’ gaze, which seemed to say, “If you dare answer wrong, I will skin you alive,” she honestly answered, “You look handsome.”

At least she had lived two lives and had never seen a man more handsome than Brandon Piers.

Benjamin Jones was also good-looking but was too stern.

Brandon Piers was different; he was truly beautiful, of the kind that could ruin nations.

Sometimes Abigail couldn’t figure out, given her original self’s character, how she even managed to sleep with such a monster.

Abigail’s answer made Brandon Piers slightly satisfied, but he was still displeased, “Then why do you keep looking at him? Don’t forget you are now my fiancée.”

“Cough, cough, cough…” Without waiting for Abigail to react, Elder Piers started coughing first.

It was then that Abigail realized the old man was still present. She awkwardly glared at Brandon Piers.

Brandon Piers disdainfully looked at the old man, “If your throat is uncomfortable, this is a hospital. You can have the housekeeper take you to the ENT department.”

“No need. I’ll head back now.” The old man waved his hand, then spoke to Abigail with extreme tenderness, “Abigail, Teddy is being taken care of by Kelly and Aunt Pritt. You should stay at the hospital and spend more time with Brandon. Young couples should stay together to cultivate feelings. I won’t disturb you two anymore.”

Having said this, without waiting for a response, he walked out with Housekeeper Piers.

Abigail and Brandon Piers, “…”

They were a fake couple—no, a fake engaged couple. What feelings were there to cultivate?

Abigail looked at Brandon Piers with a strange expression.

Brandon Piers disdainfully looked back at Abigail, “Did you bribe the old man?”

“Do I… look like that kind of person?” Abigail was stunned by the question and asked disdainfully.

Brandon Piers nodded, then realized he had more to say, “In any case, since you are now my fiancée and we held an engagement ceremony witnessed by the public, you should behave yourself in the future. Don’t glue your eyes to other men. It’s undignified.”

Abigail, “…”

How had she not noticed before that this man was not only a fake gentleman but also a straightforward guy?

If it weren’t for his good looks, she really wanted to give him a stab.

“Hmm?” Brandon Piers said after finishing, seeing that Abigail hadn’t responded, and hummed haughtily.

“Are you really planning to marry me?” Abigail looked at Brandon Piers and asked the question in her heart.

Brandon Piers was stunned, “You don’t want to marry me?”

His words were filled with surprise.

Abigail froze. She had always thought their engagement was a sham and hadn’t taken it seriously.

After all, she knew better than anyone that Brandon Piers’ health was no longer a problem. He was also the future head of the Piers family. The wealth he possessed was something that ordinary people couldn’t accumulate even in three lifetimes with the power of a family.

Without these added wealth and power, based on his looks alone and his charm, Brandon Piers could attract countless brides seeking to marry him.

The wife he would marry, even if not matching his family’s status, would have to be capable and beautiful, not someone like her—a chubby person perceived by the public as useless.

Hearing Brandon Piers’ question, Abigail didn’t know how to respond for a moment.

You don’t want to marry me?

Did she want to? She seemed to have never truly considered this question.

Seeing Abigail’s hesitation, Brandon Piers’ face gradually darkened, “Do you think I, Brandon Piers, am a casual person? Since I made a vow in public, it’s definitely not a joke.”

“I…” Apart from the engagement ceremony, Abigail had never seen Brandon Piers so serious before. She moved her mouth but hesitated for a long time before asking, “Aren’t you afraid of being ridiculed?”

She had seen the online discussions. Even though Brandon Piers issued so many lawyer letters, it still didn’t stop people from ridiculing their engagement. Was this man really not afraid?
