Chapter 664: Chapter 664: It’s Always Been You that I Wanted
Brandon Piers was woken up by his son poking him.
He opened his eyes to see Teddy sitting between him and Abigail, poking his nose and then Abigail’s mouth while babbling something. Abigail was also woken up by this commotion and sleepily muttered, "What time is it?"
Brandon grabbed his phone and switched it on. "Six-twenty."
As soon as he finished speaking, a flood of messages popped up on his phone.
Brandon just took a quick glance and then tossed it aside. He pulled Teddy into his arms and said to Abigail, "It’s still early. Sleep for a bit longer."
However, as soon as he spoke, Teddy started to wriggle his little butt away, clearly not wanting to sleep.
Abigail, still drowsy, patted her mouth and was about to get up. "He’s probably hungry. I’ll go make him some milk."
"Don’t move. I’ll do it." Brandon extended his long arm to stop Abigail, then got up to make milk for the little guy himself.
Abigail was initially stunned, then a corner of her mouth lifted as she moved Teddy onto her stomach. "Teddy, be good. Daddy’s going to make milk for our baby."
Who knew that as soon as she said that, the hungry little guy impatiently burrowed into her chest, looking for familiar food to nurse.
Abigail wasn’t prepared and winced in pain. Just when she was about to remove the little guy, Brandon came back with the bottle. Without thinking, he grabbed Teddy by the back of his collar. "Your food is right here."
Brandon then shoved the bottle into Teddy’s arms.
The hungry little guy, though a bit unsatisfied, still took the bottle and started guzzling down the milk with soft hummings.
Brandon looked at Abigail with dissatisfaction and pointed at a certain area on her. "Mine."
Abigail felt both embarrassed and irritated. This shameless man.
"Go back to sleep. I’ll take him to his room." Brandon declared his sovereignty and said to Abigail.
"No, I can’t sleep anymore." After being disturbed by Teddy, Abigail lost her sleepiness.
"Hmm, how about going to the gym?" Brandon suggested.
Abigail refused. "I promised Grandpa I’d go boxing."
Grandpa said that ever since she and Brandon started going to the gym, he couldn’t enjoy his boxing sessions. Now that she had slimmed down, could she continue to teach them boxing?
Brandon hesitated. "That works too."
Then Abigail saw Brandon head to the bathroom. She was curious why he was so agreeable today, but after Teddy finished his milk and Abigail handed him over to Aunt Claudia, she returned from the children’s room to change clothes. She saw her man dressed in a casual sports outfit. Seeing Abigail, he said, "Let’s go."
Abigail, who assumed Brandon had already gone to the gym, was speechless.
"Why are you standing there?" Brandon saw Abigail not moving and hurried her.
"I’m going to change clothes." Abigail quickly went to freshen up and changed into sportswear.
When they went downstairs, Grandpa and Uncle Piers were already waiting for them.
Seeing the two come down, Grandpa looked at his grandson with satisfaction. "Good initiative."
Brandon felt speechless. Was he really showing initiative? He clearly came to accompany his wife!
Thus, Brandon’s morning workout turned into what he thought was a rather dull boxing session.
After finishing the boxing session and taking a shower, Brandon’s phone rang for the nth time.
Brandon looked at the number and answered. "Speak."
Kelvin Max was about to cry with relief when Brandon finally answered his call. "Sir, have you seen the news? Your clarification last night was maliciously interpreted, saying that those hands clearly didn’t belong to the Lady. Some media outlets are already stirring up the narrative. Do you want to appear with the Lady to clear this up?"
Brandon didn’t answer Kelvin directly but looked at the Twitter post he had made earlier. It already had tens of thousands of comments. He took a quick look, understanding the situation. "No need. Wait for the hype to die down and then arrange for the posts to be deleted."
Kelvin was stunned. Given the current situation, he couldn’t see how the hype would die down.
But since Brandon said so, he must have a plan.
Brandon hung up on Kelvin and dialed David Locke’s number. "Director Locke, can you do me a favor? Consider it a personal favor."
After listening, David looked at the young girl holding a red marriage certificate in her hands with a bewildered expression. "Sure."
High society gossip always attracts attention, but it can’t compare to celebrity news.
Especially since David Locke was a top-tier young director in the country. Unlike some older directors who had become overweight and unappealing, his tall and handsome demeanor, combined with his impressive filmography despite his few works, had made him a target of criticism after a scandal involving an actress.
Some believed the scandal was a typical ploy by the actress to gain fame and even discovered that the actress was Mary Scott, an eighteenth-tier celebrity.
Suddenly, Mary Scott became a hot topic, but mostly derogatory and nastier comments compared to David’s.
These past few days, Mary had been lying low, only leaving home to pay her brother’s hospital bills and transfer him to a private room.
But this morning, David told her to get ready and go out. She didn’t understand what the man had in mind, but since she had taken his money, she couldn’t exactly refuse.
Sitting obediently in David’s car this morning, she never expected him to bring her to the marriage registration office.
Not only did he bring her, but without fully understanding what was happening, they got married.
Holding the red marriage certificate, Mary was still baffled even after getting back into the car.
Still bewildered, Mary saw David receive a phone call, after which he gave her a complicated look. "Do you have any old photos of us?"
David felt absurd after asking. This woman had dumped him so thoroughly back then. How could she have kept their old photos?
Mary hesitated for a long time before stammering, "I... have an album. There... might be some in there."
Afraid David might misunderstand, she quickly explained, "You know I’m lazy and don’t like tidying up."
"Oh." David wouldn’t flatter himself into thinking she kept those out of feelings for him.
Half an hour later, they returned to David’s apartment, where Mary rummaged through her messy suitcase and produced an old album. She hesitated before handing a photo to David.
David glanced at it. It showed them as high school students, wearing matching school uniforms. He was already six feet tall, while she was much shorter, with her delicate and pretty face adorned with a simple high ponytail. This plain look was an image he could never forget.
"Is... is this okay?" Mary asked anxiously as David stood motionless, holding the photo.
"Oh." David snapped back to reality, placed the old photo and their marriage certificates on the marble table, and took two photos with his phone.
After finishing breakfast, Brandon opened Twitter and saw that David had posted a rare update, different from his usual film promotions. It was a couple’s photo from high school and two red marriage certificates, with the caption, "From youth to adulthood, all I want is you. Hello, Lady Locke @actressMaryScott."
Brandon smirked slightly. "Showy."
However, when he saw the text message from his mother again, his expression darkened.
