Reborn as Mr.CEO's Fat Wife

Chapter 317: Chapter 317: Already Lost Before Even Possessing
 

“Tsk, tsk…”

Lucy Graham clicked her tongue. However, sensing the gazes around her, especially from the elite socialites in the circle, she glanced at the chubby girl in front of her. It wouldn’t be easy for her to stay by Brandon Piers’ side.

During Brandon Piers’ engagement ceremony, Lucy was in Cannes and didn’t attend in person. She had seen netizens tear Abigail Green apart, thinking she was ugly and fat. Now, she saw that although the girl was indeed chubby, she had fair, smooth skin, clear eyes, an outstanding aura, and a comforting presence.

But that wasn’t enough.

Especially since Brandon Piers was a monster. Lucy’s beauty was acknowledged in the entertainment industry, yet when standing next to him, she still seemed to pale in comparison. So how could Abigail Green?

“Abby, remember my words.” After saying this, Lucy no longer looked at Brandon Piers’ expression and turned away to greet other guests with ease.

The man beside her, seeing Abigail’s thoughtful expression, assumed she was pondering Lucy’s words, and his face darkened. “Don’t tell me you really want to switch men?”

“Huh?” Abigail was puzzled.

“Keep your distance from her in the future.” Brandon Piers ordered domineeringly, lest she be led astray by that woman.

Abigail gave Brandon a strange look but couldn’t help following Lucy Graham with her gaze.

Seeing this, Brandon asked curiously, “Are you her fan?”

“I guess so.” Abigail snapped back to reality. The matter of her rebirth was already too bizarre to tell anyone.

Every time she saw someone familiar from her previous life, she couldn’t help but miss her grandfather.

Was her grandfather well now?

“Oh.” Brandon felt a faint sadness emanating from Abigail at this moment and let out a light “oh,” not pressing further.

He always felt that a dense sadness occasionally engulfed the chubby girl. It was fleeting, yet every time it appeared, she seemed to be immersed in another world, impenetrable by others.

Thinking of this, Brandon’s large hand wrapped around Abigail’s chubby hand. “Stay close to me.”

“Huh? Oh.” Abigail felt the warmth in her palm and dumbly responded.

She thought this man had been acting strange lately. Being held like this, she surprisingly felt a sense of misperception, as if the handsome and extraordinary man in front of her deeply cherished and loved her.

She immediately found herself ridiculous. How could she have such a feeling?

Who was Brandon Piers? Such a picky man, how could he fall in love with her?

He must be putting on an act again.

Thinking of this, Abigail let the man hold her hand and became calm overall.

At this time, there was a commotion outside again. Abigail looked over and saw her senior brother rarely out of his lab coat, dressed elegantly in a white suit and appearing at the banquet with Irene Wallis as his date.

Seeing Irene cling to her senior brother’s arm, Abigail was first stunned, then confusion filled her eyes. Many question marks popped into her head. What was their relationship? Banquet dates, or… girlfriends?

Abigail’s mood became exceptionally complicated all of a sudden.

Knowing she and her senior brother could never be together again didn’t stop her heart from aching slightly.

She hadn’t even owned it but had already lost it.

What could be more regretful in life than this?

While Abigail was lost in thought, a sudden pain in her palm brought her back. She turned to see a pair of deep, amber eyes and was full of confusion. “What are you doing?”

“Your eyes are about to fall out. Is he that good-looking?” Brandon asked unhappily, thinking, was Jeffrey Foster better looking than him?

“Huh?” Did she really?

Abigail hadn’t noticed her reaction at all.

“Keep staring, and I’ll gouge your…” Halfway through, remembering the pain the chubby girl had suffered, Brandon’s eyes turned cold, falling on Jeffrey Foster. “I’ll ruin his face.”

Abigail thought, this man was a pervert. What cat disease did he have? So what if she looked at her senior brother a few more times?

She deeply gazed at the tall, handsome man beside her. If she hadn’t just heard it herself, who would have thought that such a good-looking man actually had such a poisonous heart.

No, Abigail suddenly gave Brandon a complex look.

Brandon was dissatisfied. What kind of eyes were those, chubby girl?

She looked at other men with affection, but looked at him like he was a monster?

“You…” Abigail felt rash, hesitated, and pointed at Brandon. “Are you jealous?”

Brandon was initially stunned, then sneered. “Chubby girl, since when were you so narcissistic?”

Abigail knew this would be the case and wasn’t embarrassed. “Oh, the auction is about to start, right? Aren’t you going to say hello to Aunt Graham?”

Did this man just call her Aunt Graham? Also, from their conversation, it seemed Professor Graham once liked the old man. It sounded like the old man at home had quite the story.

“Hmm.” Seeing Abigail not asking further, Brandon nodded arrogantly, holding Abigail’s chubby hand domineeringly. Just as he was about to greet Leah Graham, Jeffrey Foster spotted them first.

“Second Master.” Last time when Jeffrey contacted Brandon by phone and got rejected, then left a message with Abigail at the hospital, there was still no reply. Unexpectedly, he met him at the charity event, so he didn’t want to miss the chance.

The failure of Brandon’s surgery caused considerable damage to Jeffrey’s personal reputation. But more importantly, he didn’t want to miss the chance of working on Brandon’s case.

Previously, he had no confidence. Now that Irene had returned and showcased her suturing skills, Jeffrey saw renewed hope for Brandon’s surgery.

“Dean Foster, what a coincidence.” Compared to Jeffrey’s enthusiasm, Brandon’s attitude was much colder.

Jeffrey didn’t mind. “Second Master, regarding our previous conversation, have you given it any thought?”

“I won’t undergo surgery again.” Brandon rejected outright.

Jeffrey didn’t give up. “Second Master, I know last time’s mistake made you lose trust in me, but with Dr. Irene’s participation this time, the success rate can reach eighty percent. Rather than give up your life, I hope you’ll reconsider.”

“Eighty percent indicates there is still a risk, not necessary.” Two people combined weren’t as skilled as his chubby girl. What was there to discuss?

Moreover, he didn’t want Jeffrey to know his heart was already fine, nor did he want him to know it was his chubby girl who successfully performed the surgery.

Brandon always felt that the chubby girl looked at Jeffrey differently than she did at others.

“But…”

“Dean, let me.” Jeffrey wanted to persuade him further, but Irene gently tugged his sleeve, speaking softly.

Jeffrey was stunned, then saw Irene’s confident eyes and hesitated before nodding.

Irene stepped forward and extended her hand to Brandon. “Hello, Second Master, I’m Irene Wallis from Sincere Hospital, the chief cardiac surgeon and former chief assistant to Dr. Abigail Green.”

Brandon glanced at the beautiful and graceful female doctor but didn’t move.
