Jeremy lowered his gaze and saw the little princess looking at him with a pure smile as she blinked her big eyes.Jeremy's heart seemed to melt immediately. He sat Lillian onto his lap and then stroked her little head lovingly and tenderly.“Lily, do you have something you want to tell me?”Lillian blinked her innocent eyes and handed Jeremy a piece of paper in her little hand.Jeremy then took it in his hand and opened the note.On it, there was a word written by Lillian. Although the word was not beautifully written, it was neat.Jeremy clearly saw one word. “Fab.”Madeline and Jeremy immediately understood what Lillian was trying to say. The child wanted to see Fabian.“Jeremy.” Madeline looked at the man with a frown. “Why don’t we let Lily make the decision?”“Let Lily make the decision?” Jeremy did not understand Madeline for a while, but gradually, he figured it out.“Linnie, do you want Lily to decide if she should go or stay?”Madeline smiled and nodded. “Yeah.”“L
At the sight of the gradually approaching cute little figure, the corners of Fabian's lips also slowly turned into an arc of joy.When Lillian ran up to him, Fabian knelt down and gently took Lillian's little hand.“Lily, it’s great that you’re fine.” He inwardly breathed a sigh of relief. The sight of that the little cutie being safe and sound finally eased the anxious feeling he had for the past few days.However, when he remembered that Madeline and Jeremy would be taking Lillian home, his heart seemed to sink back into the bottom of the sea.Lillian seemed to sense that Fabian’s worry for her the past few days, so she approached Fabian, raised her hands to hug Fabian gently, and then snuggled into Fabian's arms very affectionately for a moment.Fabian raised his hand and touched Lillian's little head; his eyes filled with genuine concern.Jeremy watched this scene and a feeling of jealousy inexplicably surged into his heart.It seemed that he was jealous. Of course, as a fat
Fabian's expression seemed momentarily dazed when Jeremy asked him that question.Was this really the real reason?No.Perhaps not.He was still a little selfish.However, this selfishness could not be described with words accurately.What could be summed up was that he was reluctant for Lillian to leave him.Regardless, what qualifications did he have to say that he was unwilling?This little cutie was originally the gem of Jeremy and Madeline, and she had her own home.When Madeline saw that Fabian was absentminded and silent, she broke the silence.“Fabian, Jeremy and I both know that you love and care for Lily sincerely. But our family members are very worried, and they’ve also missed her since she’s been taken away by you for so long. I can understand how you feel, and I hope you can understand how we feel as parents too.”Madeline persuaded. At this moment, she was still siding with Jeremy.He wanted to take his daughter home, and it was only normal for him to want th
Upon seeing the lost look in the little princess’s eyes, Madeline's heart also started to ache.“Good girl, Lily. Fab will be back soon.”Lillian raised her eyes to meet Madeline's gentle gaze as if asking Madeline if it was true.Madeline understood what the little princess meant and firmly promised, “I promise that Fab will definitely come back.”When Lillian heard this, the look of loss in Lillian's eyes was no longer as intense.After returning to her seat, Lillian sat there obediently the whole time.Madeline and Jeremy could see that the child was waiting for Fabian.They started to recall the first meeting between Fabian and Lillian. After Fabian had rescued the ignorant Lily from Felipe, the two formed a subtle bond.Although Fabian had always been frivolous, somehow, he gradually became more stable and mature.He had been very good to Lily. Extraordinarily good.He even had a fall-out with Lana because of Lily. Of course, this was also because he was a righteous pers
The person walked over purposefully, and it seemed that he knew them.Madeline then quickly realized that this man knew Evan.He respectfully gave Evan a polite smile before facing Madeline and Jeremy.“Are you Mr. and Mrs. Whitman?” the man asked politely.Madeline and Jeremy nodded. “And you are?”“He is Fab's assistant,” Evan said, answering for the man.“Fabian's assistant?” Madeline wondered, then it was as if she gradually understood something. “Is Fabian not coming?”The man smiled and nodded. “Mr. Johnson suddenly has something important to deal with, so he can’t leave for the time being. He asked me to bring Miss Lily's things over, and they’re all in the car. Could I trouble Mr. and Mrs. Whitman to follow me and take them?”After listening to the man's explanation, Madeline and Jeremy also understood. They then led Lillian out of the coffee shop together.As they moved the things, Evan stood by and called out to the assistant Fabian had sent.“Fab doesn't have somet
“How can you carry three suitcases by yourself? Let me take one.” Without speaking further, Madeline carried the black box in one hand and the suitcase in the other.“Lily, come to me now. We’ll go back to the hotel together.”Lillian heard Madeline calling out to her, but the little cutie was still looking in the direction Evan had driven away for a while before she turned to follow behind Madeline.Of course, Madeline and Jeremy could sense how Lillian felt, but neither of them spoke.After returning to the hotel, Madeline placed the little black box on the bed and called out to Lillian.“Lily, this is a gift from Fabian. Let’s see what's inside.”Lillian blinked her big beautiful eyes and stretched out her small hand to pull the ribbon apart. Madeline then helped to open the box.After opening it, Madeline felt a bright light flashing into her eyes. Upon closer inspection, she discovered that inside the box was a dazzling crown studded with rhinestones.Lillian could not spe
Fabian asked directly. When he saw the gift box that had been returned, his eyes were laced with disappointment and dissatisfaction. Jeremy lifted the corner of his lips into a soft smile and said, “Fabian, I can understand how you felt when you gifted this to Lily, but it’s too expensive.”“Too expensive?” Fabian was obviously confused by this word, he then laughed. “The number one rich man in Glendale just told me that my gift is too expensive.”Jeremy understood what Fabian meant, and he still had a soft smile on his face. “My family background has nothing to do with whether the present is expensive or not. Fabian, I know how you feel about Lily, and so does Linnie, but I don’t think this is suitable for Lily,” Jeremy still rejected him. Fabian nodded thoughtfully. “You should go, then.”“I was going to leave, but I still want to formally thank you.”Fabian quickly replied, “I have received it. Jeremy, you can go now.”“Alright.” Jeremy did not speak further. When he turn
However, Madeline saw that Lillian's little hand had more pink spots than before.It seemed that this was not a typical skin disease.Not long after, Jeremy also arrived.Upon seeing the small pink spots on Lillian's small hands and arms, Jeremy furrowed his brows.“Is it because of leukemia?” Jeremy guessed, but he did not have an accurate answer.Madeline also furrowed her charming eyebrows. “There won’t be many dermatology clinics opened in hospitals at night, Jeremy. What do you think we should do now?”“Go find Lily's attending doctor.”“You mean Evan?” Presently, Madeline had a feeling that only Evan could help them solve their problems.“Let's go back to the hotel first. I left Evan's business card in the hotel, so I have to go back first.”“That wouldn’t be necessary.” Fabian's voice suddenly came from one side.Madeline and Jeremy turned their heads in surprise and saw Fabian walking towards them with a worried expression.As soon as Lillian saw Fabian, she squirmed
