Reborn as Mr.CEO's Fat Wife-Chapter 588: Did She Really Love that Second Young Master Pei?
Chapter 588: Chapter 588: Did She Really Love that Second Young Master Pei?
Abigail denied it without even thinking. She knew her own personality and what type she liked better than anyone.
Brandon Piers was definitely not the type she would choose or like.
"Maybe it’s because the original owner of this body liked him?" Abigail realized as she said it that she had unknowingly accepted the rebirth setup.
"I don’t know, but you did reject acknowledging me because you liked him. There’s something else I need to confess..." Jeffrey Foster lowered his head in guilt as he spoke. freewebnσvel.cѳm
Abigail felt like her brain was exploding. She rejected acknowledging her senior brother because she fell in love with Brandon Piers. Had she gone mad?
And what else did her senior brother want to confess to her?
"Grandpa is fine. I lied to you about him being in trouble because I was afraid you’d go back for him. Before we left, Grandpa Smith was already living in Piers’ house. I was afraid you’d go back... and we’d never get out again..." Jeffrey Foster’s voice trailed off into a whisper.
Abigail stared at him in shock, "Grandpa is still alive?"
A void within her heart was filled once more. She looked at her guilty senior brother and sighed softly. "Don’t blame yourself. It’s good that Grandpa is still alive. That’s all that matters. But why did I... why did I break up with him?"
Hearing Abigail’s words, Jeffrey Foster knew the real issue had come up. He raised his head to see her bewildered and utterly lost expression. It took a while before he found his voice again, "It was because of me... you two broke up because of me."
Abigail was stunned, looking at her senior brother in confusion.
Jeffrey Foster explained how she had won the medical skills competition for university students but was sabotaged by a jealous female classmate. He then spoke briefly about how Brandon Piers misunderstood her helping him, his face full of remorse. "Abigail, after you were reborn, you always suspected that your death had something to do with me..."
"How could that be?" After hearing Jeffrey Foster’s words, Abigail felt like she was listening to someone else’s life. That stunning man, Brandon Piers, was actually so petty? That was terrifying. And her senior brother said she suspected her death was related to him? She almost instinctively refuted.
But Jeffrey Foster nodded sadly, "Abigail, although I didn’t directly cause your death, it was related to me. Hearst Foster had dealings with Uncle Piers, and at that time, only you could perform the chest surgery for Brandon Piers. To win over Uncle Piers, Hearst Foster drugged your glucose bag. So even though I didn’t kill you, it was my father who did it. Your suspicion wasn’t wrong."
At this point, Jeffrey Foster was already choking up. "Abigail, I’m sorry..."
Abigail didn’t expect things to be like this. She stared at her senior brother in shock. So it was all true. She had died and then reincarnated into a young girl’s body, becoming Brandon Piers’ fiancée and Teddy’s mother. It wasn’t a story; it was real...
But why couldn’t she remember anything?
Abigail looked at her pained and guilt-ridden senior brother. "Why can’t I remember anything?"
"That day Brandon Piers misunderstood you and broke up with you. You were in so much pain that you chased after him in high heels and fell. Then an explosion occurred at the competition venue. I saved you, but when you woke up, you couldn’t remember many things, including him. So I selfishly took you away from Swallow City." Jeffrey Foster’s words were half-true, making them more believable than complete lies.
Abigail stared at him blankly, "There was an explosion?"
"Abigail, I know it’s wrong to deceive you. But I had already lost you once. I didn’t cherish you before, thinking we were destined to be together, believing you’d always be by my side. I didn’t anticipate how fate would play tricks on us. Abigail, it was selfish of me to lie to you, to say that we were married, to say that we had children together..."
Jeffrey Foster spoke with genuine pain and regret, his refined and handsome face expressing an indescribable agony.
Abigail’s heart softened seeing her senior brother like this. "Alright, senior brother, don’t say anymore. You aren’t entirely to blame for this. You had no choice."
"Abigail, you don’t blame me?" Jeffrey Foster’s eyes brightened, looking fervently at Abigail.
Abigail smiled bitterly, "It’s not that I don’t blame you, but I can understand. I know you better than anyone. You must have had your reasons for doing this. As for my entanglements with Brandon Piers, I can’t remember them right now and can’t judge them. But if I had already broken up with him before losing my memory, then I don’t see a need to get tangled up again now."
"Abigail..." Jeffrey Foster called her name excitedly, then nervously, "Then... what about us..."
He glanced at the wedding invitations on the table as he spoke.
"Senior brother, I’m very confused right now. Let’s talk about us later, okay?" Abigail knew these words would hurt her senior brother. But if she had really gone through so much, fallen for a man completely unlike her type, and then been dumped, how could she continue with her senior brother blindly?
Especially since he said Brandon Piers had left her at an underground exit and she had fallen while chasing him. How could that be? How could she be so humble?
Deep down, she felt that such a thing wouldn’t happen to her, but she couldn’t muster the urge to refute when he explained it. So was it true?
Did she really love that man?
She shook her head. Perhaps it wasn’t her who loved him, but the girl whose body she now inhabited once did.
Jeffrey Foster looked at Abigail, feeling both anxious and pained. "Abigail, no matter what, I will wait for you."
"Mmm." Abigail gave a soft reply, but her heart was in turmoil. In fact, when she woke up four months ago, she could feel something was separating her from her senior brother. After hearing his explanation, she somewhat understood where the barrier came from.
She no longer felt that initial flutter when she looked at him...
Despite Brandon Piers interrupting her wedding today, her initial anger and fury had subsided into a sense of relief at this moment.
She sighed silently and stood up, "I want to be alone for a while."
"Abigail, I wonder if I ever told you those three words." Jeffrey Foster suddenly grabbed her hand.
Abigail turned around, trying to stop him, "Senior brother..."
"Abigail, I love you." Jeffrey Foster once thought it was difficult to express love. But after so much, his biggest regret was not telling Abigail from the beginning that he loved her, really loved her.
Abigail’s heart clenched slightly. She knew her senior brother too well, understood the significance of those words to him, and realized why he was confessing now. He was afraid, afraid of losing her.
This realization made Abigail’s heart ache. "Senior brother, let me think about it."
Knock, knock, knock...
No sooner had Abigail finished speaking than there was a rhythmic knock on the door. For some reason, the first image that came to her mind was the excessively handsome yet somewhat pale face of Brandon Piers.
Jeffrey Foster frowned slightly, knowing who it was.
