Reborn as Mr.CEO's Fat Wife-Chapter 804: Abigail, Will You Marry Me?

Abigail dismissed Sophia Patel a month ago under the pretext of taking Teddy to a preschool, but she left her contact details.

She thought there wouldn’t be much interaction between them afterwards, but never expected what the other party would hit her with a month later.

All day long, Abigail was absent-minded in the lab, ending up telling Headmaster Theodore she was going to school, hoping to meet up with Lena Locke and the others, only to find whether it was Lena Locke, Wilson Jasper, or Ralf, they were all busy and gave evasive answers that they were occupied.

Abigail felt even more dejected and simply had Pullan take her to see Grandfather Piers.

The distance from the medical university to Moon Lake Manor was not far, and the road was deserted, taking less than forty minutes to arrive; however, to Abigail’s surprise, Grandfather Piers was not there.

Abigail was a bit stunned, looking at the servant, "Uncle Piers isn’t here either?"

"Housekeeper Piers went out with the old master," explained the servant.

"Did they say where they went?" Abigail was somewhat concerned about the old master’s health.

"I heard they went to the hospital for a routine check-up, Madam need not worry," the servant answered with a smile.

Abigail nodded her head, ready to leave, but then she saw, not far away, Eva Bell sitting by the flower beds basking in the sun; post-surgery Eva Bell seemed much more peaceful than before, not close to her, but also without the previous clashes.

For Abigail, such a result was already enough.

Leaving the manor, Abigail thought it over, "Pullan, let’s go to the Courtyard House."

Pullan glanced at the time, found it still early, and hurriedly drove Abigail to the city.

After a one and a half hour drive, by the time they reached the Courtyard House it was already four-thirty in the afternoon. Abigail thought it was a good day to try Mrs. Han’s cooking. However, the main gate was locked, the small door was bolted from the inside, she knocked for a long time with no one opening the door. Thinking it over, she lifted the large flower pot at the door, took out a rusty key from underneath, and struggled to open the old wooden door. After a creaking sound, Abigail entered but saw no one.

What is going on?

Did everyone collectively agree to not be home?

Abigail’s already poor mood got even worse. She called her grandfather, but no one answered after a long wait. She then called Clara Smith, who did answer, telling Abigail that Daniel was treating them to a big meal, then abruptly hung up. freeweɓnøvel.com

Listening to the beep of the hang-up, Abigail was utterly bewildered. Was her newly acknowledged daughter really this indifferent?

Sitting on the stone stool in the yard, Abigail could hardly afford to feel sad or heartbroken, because she began to question her life.

"Madam, it’s about time to head home," Pullan said, glancing at the time and cautiously stepping forward to remind.

Abigail responded, "Oh," her voice tired as she looked at Pullan, "How many times have I told you, stop calling me madam."

Pullan, grateful that the madam was angry, quickly changed his address, "Mrs."

Abigail, "..." suddenly didn’t want this person anymore.

She got up listlessly and walked towards the car, got in, closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, but the photo sent by Sophia Patel kept popping up in her mind. She wanted to call Brandon Piers directly, but since they had been busy for the last three months, their relationship was cool and not enthusiastic. She hadn’t agreed to reconcile, and strictly speaking, even if Brandon Piers was really living with Sophia Patel, she had no right to be angry.

But the more it was like this, the worse her mood became.

And just when her mood was at its worst, she couldn’t find anyone to talk to.

When the car drove back to Rose Valley, it was already getting dark. Abigail walked towards the villa, feeling increasingly strange. As she was about to reach, Abigail finally realized something was wrong. She stopped abruptly, "Pullan, why is the yard all dark?"

Logically, it was dinner time; Aunt Claudia should be playing in the living room with Teddy and Threo. Even if the yard wasn’t lit, the living room should be bright, but now everything was dark.

Thinking of this, Abigail realized that on her way home, the area was darker than usual. A bad feeling arose in her heart; could it be that something had happened to Teddy and the others?

Thinking of this possibility, Abigail’s heart tightened, "Teddy..."

"Miss, don’t worry too much, the young master will be fine," Pullan tried to reassure dryly, but Abigail could not take it in. She ran towards the villa. At that moment, the last trace of daylight disappeared, and the entire villa area abruptly went dark.

Abigail faced a moment of darkness, but before she could get used to it, suddenly bang bang bang, the entire yard and living room lit up. Abigail instinctively covered her eyes, and then upon reopening them, she saw the living room filled with red roses, and Brandon Piers standing in the center holding a ring and smiling at her.

For a moment, Abigail felt as if her heartbeat had skipped a beat, standing at the front door stupefied at the tall and upright man. He had been too busy these days, noticeably thinner, yet it made his features even more strikingly handsome, dazzlingly so, hard to look away from.

"Abigail..." Brandon Piers started, his clear voice hoarse from holding back for too long.

Abigail, hearing him calling her, with the emotion contained in the hoarseness, her heart thumped even harder, already guessing something.

And she guessed right.

After a call of "Abigail," Brandon managed to calm his nervousness and slowly began, "Before I met you, I did not believe in Buddha, nor gods, only in myself. But fate brought you to me, and since then I’ve prayed to the gods for your safety and your health, and selfishly, for your love. I used to worry about my Abigail who had suffered and been hurt. What if I can’t protect her? What if I make her sad? What if she gets hurt because of me? But now, I’m not afraid anymore because I know my Abigail is braver than I am, and I will try harder, to love you, protect you, and give you the best of everything."

With these words, Brandon Piers kneeled on one knee, took out the ring, "Abigail, will you marry me?"

Abigail never expected to one day hear such a heartfelt confession from Brandon Piers. It was also the first time she knew that this man, like her, was cautiously humble in their love. She couldn’t help but wanted to say yes, but at the last moment, a photo from Sophia Patel’s Facebook Circle popped into her mind, sparking an indescribable sour emotion in her heart, wondering about his situation, but in such a moment, she didn’t know how to speak.

Brandon Piers waited a long time without getting a response from Abigail, his heart gradually sinking, starting to regret whether he had pushed too hard, or was it too sudden and she couldn’t accept it?

"Abigail..." Brandon Piers said, his voice even huskier than before.

Meanwhile, everyone squeezed in the next room, not sure who accidentally bumped into the door, thus exposing themselves.

Abigail followed their gaze, and saw Lena Locke, Wilson Jasper, Grandfather Piers, her grandfather, and mother, and even Daniel was there.

This...

As Abigail was bewildered, Lena Locke suddenly took the lead, "Say yes to him, say yes..."

Wilson Jasper, Ralf and others also echoed in agreement.

But Abigail still did not give in. Soon, not only did Brandon Piers notice the problem, but others also sensed something was wrong.

What’s happening, could it be that Abigail is unwilling?
