However, the two girls were somewhat reluctant as they looked at Fabian and lingered for a while before leaving.The room quieted down quickly and the door with a soundproofing effect blocked all kinds of laughter and voices outside.Evan turned on the lights, which immediately basked the room in warm light.Evan only then noticed the gloominess on Fabian's, and Evan’s expression, too, turned serious.“Fab, did something serious happen? I heard you were looking for Carter. What is your relationship with him?”Fabian sat down on the sofa and then distraughtly picked up a clean glass, poured himself a glass of red wine, and drank it.“He abducted Lily.”Evan's eyes widened when he heard this. “... What?”At this moment, Madeline was entering the bar from outside.In fact, she had been following Fabian all the time. When Fabian had been looking for Carter along the way, she followed him and finally arrived at the vicinity of the bar.Unfortunately, she had spent too much time lo
Fabian and Evan heard the noise and simultaneously lifted their eyes to look over.The moment the door opened, the rowdy noise outside poured into the room, and then it disappeared the moment the door closed.Fabian looked at Madeline who came in through the door, and this time, he was not even surprised.“You’re an excellent stalker,” Fabian exclaimed with a half-smile.When Evan saw Madeline’s face, he was not foreign at all. “Miss Montgomery? Did you come because of Lily?”Madeline looked at the two young men in front of her who had drunk some alcohol and were now slightly tipsy. She then nodded.“That’s right, I’m here to inquire about my daughter’s whereabouts.”As Madeline said that, she looked at Fabian.“Are you here just to drink?”“Why? Can’t I drink some alcohol?” Fabian asked sarcastically. He then took the bottle and poured himself another glass. After that, he forthrightly downed the content of the glass in front of Madeline.Madeline furrowed her charming eyebr
“Yes, I'm begging you,” Madeline admitted very frankly, but Fabian was stunned by this.For some reason, the atmosphere in the room quieted down immediately. It was so quiet that they could vaguely hear the sound of music coming from outside.Seeing that Fabian was not speaking, Madeline walked to a seat beside him and sat down, picked up a wine glass, and poured herself a glass of red wine.Fabian looked at Madeline in confusion.“Eveline, what are you doing?”“Don't you want to drink, Young Master Johnson? I'll drink with you.”“...”“It won’t be too late to talk to me when you’re finally satisfied.”After saying that, Madeline also drank forthrightly and finished her glass of wine.Both Fabian and Evan were shocked by Madeline's move.They had not expected Madeline to be so unaffected and cool.They also had not expected Madeline to drink two glasses at one go.Fabian frowned. When he saw that Madeline was about to drink the fourth glass, he stretched out his palm to hol
When Madeline heard this, she was touched. She looked at Fabian who was dozing off and remembered his coldness toward her and Jeremy all this while. Perhaps, Fabian was also feeling conflicted inside. “Fab grew up under the protection of his brother Yorick. Even though Yorick was cruel in his illegal businesses, he had always protected his brother.”Evan continued to explain because he wanted Madeline to understand Fabian more. “Yorick knew his business was not legal, so this whole time, he never let Fabian touch it. Plus, Fabian also had no idea that his siblings were in the illegal business.“Even though Yorick and Lana broke the law and even went against human nature and morals in some cases, to Fabian, they were a good brother and a good sister. So, as Fab’s friend, I hope you can understand Fab from this perspective, Miss Montgomery. Also, he’s really worried and concerned about your daughter. “After hearing what Evan said, Madeline looked at Fabian and let out a sigh.
“Thank you,” Madeline thanked him quickly. She looked at the time and decided it would be better if they asked him out tomorrow morning.Evan understood and then he took out the name card Carter had given him in the morning from his cardholder.Carter had been waiting for Evan to return his call. Presently, he received his call, so he did not hesitate to pick it up. When he heard that Evan wanted to see him tomorrow morning, he quickly accepted.After thanking Evan, Madeline helped Evan carry the drunk Fabian into the car.After seeing Evan driving Fabian back home, Madeline stood by the busy car-filled street for a while before heading back to the hotel.The next day, she woke up early.She seemed to not have slept for the whole night because she missed her little princess.Although she knew that Shirley should be taking care of Lillian, Carter despised Madeline and Jeremy so much, so Madeline was still worried about whether Carter would suddenly hurt Lily out of prejudice.On
“Boss?” Carter was very curious about this address.The waitress grinned and explained amicably, “Mr. Evan Laker. He’s the biggest shareholder of this cafe.”Once she had said that, Carter understood.He did ask around and looked into Evan.He was a fairly prestigious young master of a rich family in F Country. Although he was unrestrained and loved to have fun, he was truly a very professional and talented pediatrician. There were a lot of elites in his family and almost all of them were specialists in their specialized field.It was common to see a rich young master investing in a cafe to become the boss for fun.Carter got rid of the doubts in his heart and walked upstairs.When the waitress saw Carter walking upstairs, she walked to the entrance and locked the door quietly.Carter only wanted to get an answer from Evan, so he was not thinking about other things at this moment. However, when he walked to the second floor, Madeline’s cold and beautiful face immediately ap
“Carter, we’re all adults, so you don’t have to beat around the bush.”“Alright, I won’t,” Carter finally admitted.As he spoke, he turned around, and his sharp and deep black eyes were staring straight at Madeline.“Eveline, you want to see your daughter, don’t you? I can make an exchange with you.”Madeline furrowed her charming eyebrows. “What do you want from me?”“Since you know Fabian and Evan, then it’ll be easy. Get Evan to promise me that he’ll ask his father to heal Shirley, then I’ll give your daughter back to you.”Carter voiced such a request for the exchange.Madeline chuckled softly. “Evan and I are just strangers coming together by chance. I can’t convince him, nor do I have the ability to convince his father.”“You can’t, but Fabian can.” Carter’s tone was filled with absolute confidence.Madeline also saw that determination in Carter’s eyes.It was heinous of him to make Lillian the term for the exchange, but at the same time, it also showed how much he care
When Evan agreed, a happy and contented smile appeared slowly on Carter’s lips.This was an unexpected gain.He wanted to use Lillian to seek revenge on Jeremy, but now, Lillian became his most effective chess piece.“Before your father agrees to see me, don’t even think about seeing Lillian.”“Carter!” Fabian was a little mad.When Carter saw Fabian getting mad, the smile on his face widened.“What’s wrong? Are you angry? Be angry all you want, but this is something that you can’t change.”After Carter finished saying that with a smirk, he parted his legs to go downstairs.After taking two steps, he turned back to look at Evan.“I’ll be waiting for your answer. I hope you can give me a satisfying answer as soon as possible.”Evan felt that he had never met such an arrogant person before. However, he had no choice so he could only allow Carter to behave so arrogantly.Looking at Carter’s carefree back figure, Fabian lifted his hand angrily and slammed it on the wall.Madeli
