His promise to Madeline and Jeremy to take good care of Lillian was one thing, but what was more important was how important Lillian was to him.The safety and health of this little girl were more important than his own.After the check-up at the hospital, Fabian took Lillian home.After returning home, he ordered the servants to make some nutritious snacks while he carried Lillian back to the bedroom.At this time, Lillian seemed to be tired. Her pure and big eyes blinked at Fabian. She gradually fell into a state of drowsiness.“Lily, sleep if you're sleepy. When you wake up, I’ll give you something delicious.” Fabian's eyes were warm. It was as if he had endless patience.Lillian seemed to have heard what Fabian said, and finally, she gently batted her thick eyelashes and fell asleep quietly.As he was staring at Lillian's peaceful sleeping face, Fabian's heart seemed to have found a safe haven in an instant.It seemed that he also wanted such a quiet and peaceful life.“Li
Faced with the accusation from the female teacher, Fabian felt that he was implicated though innocent. He was bewildered.However, he was not in the mood to care so much. However, Lillian seemed to be curious. She blinked as she looked at Fabian.It seemed that she had deep doubts about the word ‘boyfriend’ in her tiny head.In the evening after school, Fabian showed up on time to pick up Lillian.The female teacher who replaced Julie in the morning brought Lillian over. She had a very disdainful look on her face.“Mr. Johnson, you really are carefree. You still haven’t visited your girlfriend, but you’re so patient and careful with children. How can you not care about your girlfriend at all? Julie was hurt and got hospitalized because of you.”The female teacher told Fabian again.Fabian was confused. Julie was hospitalized because of him?He did not ask much, and he did not bother to explain his relationship with Julie either. He wanted to save some face for Julie, so he took
When Julie saw Fabian here, she almost could not believe her eyes. The tall good-looking figure and the handsome gentle face in her sight were all real.Fabian also spotted Julie. He greeted her very politely and courteously, “Miss Charles, how are you feeling? I didn't know you were in the hospital. That’s why I only came to see you now. My apologies.”Julie was stunned, not knowing what to say for a while.On the other hand, Julie's mother quickly replied, “You’re too kind. It's already nice enough for you to come to visit Julie. What are you sorry for? Please sit down.”Julie's mother was very polite. Then, she bowed her head and asked Lillian kindly.“Little girl, you look so beautiful. What's your name?”Lillian blinked her big clear eyes and glanced at Fabian.“Her name is Lillian.”“Lillian? That's a really special and nice name. Come sit down, good girl.”“Mr. Johnson, Lily, you should sit down first.” Julie finally came back to her senses and greeted.Lillian turned
Julie was stunned. She did not think that this was what Fabian wanted to ask of her.She suddenly felt that she was too naive. She could feel that Fabian did not have any feelings for her, but she still had some unrealistic fantasies and expectations. She thought that this man would become interested in her.Despite the desolation in her heart, Julie remained indifferent and calm on the surface.“I'm so sorry about this. My colleagues have misunderstood. Don't worry, Mr. Johnson. When I go back to work, I’ll explain it to them.”“That's good.” Fabian expressed his relief, then he reached out and held Lillian's little hand. “Lily, wave goodbye to Miss Charles. We’re going home now.”Upon hearing this, Julie's heart sank again. She hoped that Fabian could stay longer, but she had no reason or status to ask Fabian to stay longer. Therefore, she smiled magnanimously at Lillian.“Lily, thank you for coming to see me. Bye.”Lillian nodded obediently with a grin. Then, she raised her l
“Miss Charles, it’s not necessary to say everything loudly and clearly. You’re secretly in love with the parent of a child in your class. The last time when my son was just playing around with that child, you treated it as such a serious matter and asked me to come to kindergarten. You even criticized my son in public and let that man lecture me so impolitely.“Hmph! This time, you accidentally hurt my son. How could there be such a coincidence? You’re clearly avenging private wrongs in the school! I'm not saying you can't fall in love with a student’s parent, but if you’re such a teacher, who would dare to put their children under your care again? Everyone, do you think I’m right?”The man incited public sentiment and tried to embarrass Julie, but the parent next to him was not swayed. Instead, they asked Julie calmly and rationally.“Miss Charles, are you really dating your student's parent? Does he have a family, or is he a divorced single parent?”“We don't want to interfere wi
As he looked at Fabian's dark and turbulent eyes, the man naturally did not dare to say anything else in case he was beaten up again.The man timidly turned his head and left. The other parents on the side also understood the situation when they saw this scene.It seemed that the man felt guilty, and they had heard what Fabian said, so they comforted Julie one after another.“I really didn't think such a person would exist. Miss Charles, don't take it to heart.”“That's right. How could there be such a parent? What a weirdo.”“Yeah, we're relieved to leave our children under your care, Miss Charles.”When she heard the indignant words of other parents, Julie felt a lot more at ease.She raised her eyes and glanced at Fabian. She felt an indescribable sense of comfort from his timely appearance.She walked over and wanted to have a word with Fabian. Coincidentally, Fabian also came over and handed Lillian to Julie.“Miss Charles, I'm relieved to see you back at your post. I’m g
After Fabian sent Lillian to school and went back to his office, he focused on his work.He knew that only when he became stronger and more stable could he take better care of Lillian and give her a better future.At present, he was trying to find an expert. What he wanted the most was to cure Lillian's inability to speak, but it seemed that there was no hope.Fabian fiddled with his phone and opened the photo album.This was an exclusive album, which only contained the private photos of him and Lillian.He regarded this album as a hidden secret that he did not want anyone to know. He cherished these photos.Most of the photos documented Lillian's daily life, and of course, there were many photos of them together.When he saw the photos of Lillian being sick and hospitalized a while ago, it made him feel distressed for a while. The cute dollface was thin and haggard.“Lily, I won't let you suffer anymore.”Fabian looked at Lillian's photo and made a solemn promise.He put awa
Fabian inexplicably felt that the scene in front of him was like a dream.He walked over step by step, and the scene felt more and more realistic.The enthusiasm of the young girl skipping and swinging her badminton racket was vividly in front of his eyes.Meanwhile, the girl’s back gave him an indescribable intimacy.At this time, the man who was playing badminton with the girl spotted Fabian. It was the old butler in the villa.When he saw Fabian, he immediately stopped and greeted Fabian respectfully.“Sir, you’re back.”Upon hearing this, the girl stopped immediately.The next second, the girl turned around and looked back excitedly.In an instant, Fabian felt the light of the setting sun shining on him dazzlingly. The girl's bright and youthful smile wa like a dreamy oil painting.The delicate and small facial features on the plump contours of her oval face seemed to be hand-crafted. She looked extremely beautiful.She smiled sweetly, and the little dimples dotting the
Gina, who was standing at the door, saw this scene and was about to walk in when she was stopped by her husband.“Stop causing more trouble. Do you really want your son to be a bachelor for the rest of his life?”“Who said I'm going to make trouble? I’m going to tell them that I agree to this marriage now, okay?”Her husband was startled. “You’re agreeing to this?”Gina was about to answer when out of the corners of her eyes, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the lights in the room. It was followed by cheers and applause from inside.Ava pulled herself out of Daniel's embrace. She was surprised to find Madeline and Jeremy, her parents, and even Tom and Maisie slowly approaching them with smiles on their faces.Ava stared blankly at Madeline. Then, she finally understood that they had all worked together to arrange this.Only she and Daniel’s parents were kept in the dark.Daniel had never thought of leaving her at all. He just used a different approach to let her know that she w
Upon hearing this, Gina slowly stopped.She never thought that Ava still had some respect for her in her heart.This really surprised her.However, she soon heard Madeline stand up for Ava. “Ava, you respect them, but have they ever respected you? Respect should be mutual.”“But Danny will always be their son. If Dan and I insist on getting married, his parents won’t be happy about it for the rest of their lives,” Ava said with a helpless sigh. “I really don't want Dan to be caught in the middle of this matter.”“But Ava…”“Maddie, don't persuade me. You should know best that when you truly love someone, you don't have to stay with them. As long as they’re safe, healthy, and happy, that's enough, isn't it?”There was a smile of relief on Ava's face as if she had already made a final decision in her heart.Madeline wanted to persuade her a little more, but nothing seemed appropriate at this moment.“Ava, are you leaving, then? Are you going to stop looking for him now?”“I've
Daniel's parents, who were secretly observing Ava in the distance, gradually became more and more restless in the car.“Hmph, how dare she say that she has a deep relationship with Dan? It's been so long and she still doesn't know where Dan has gone,” Gina rolled her eyes and complained.Daniel's father glanced at Gina. “Stop being so mean. Right now, the most important thing is to find Dan. Ava isn’t a bad person. In the beginning, you disliked her because she didn’t have parents, money, and power. Now, her parents are alive and well, her mother is extremely rich, and her father is a specialist doctor and professor. What else are you dissatisfied with? Do you really want your son to stay single his entire life?”Gina was not happy when her husband was complaining about her. “Didn't you object at the beginning as well? I agreed with the relationship after that, but your father refused to agree to save his reputation. Why are you blaming me now?”“Stop talking.” Daniel's father in
After Old Master Graham read Daniel's message, he was so angry that his eyes were wide open.‘He just got out of the hospital and he ran away for a woman?‘He even said that if he can't marry that woman, he won't get married in the future?’Old Master Graham would never allow such a thing to happen.However, when he thought about it, he still felt a little nervous.If Daniel really did not get married because of this, would this not be the end of the Graham family?‘I can’t let this happen.’After Ava ran out, she went to find Daniel in all the places she could think of. However, after spending the entire morning, she still could not find Daniel.She tried to call Daniel, and although the call was connected, it was always unanswered.As time passed, Ava felt very tired. She sat down on the chair by the roadside and watched the street where people came and went. Then, a deep sense of loss welled up from the bottom of her heart.‘Dan, have you decided to just give up?‘Are we
“I'll be right back!”Gina hurriedly ran back. Suddenly, she turned back and stopped Ava, who was about to follow her.“Don’t follow me! You’re not welcomed at our house.”Despite Gina's warning, Ava could not stop herself from looking for Daniel.She did not know what was going on. How could Daniel suddenly be discharged by himself? He had obviously been in a coma on the hospital bed. He did not wake up this whole time.On the way there, Ava called Daniel, but Daniel did not answer.Ava did not know if Daniel had his phone with him, but in short, she could not get into contact with him.She wanted so badly to stand in front of Daniel right now, but there was traffic on the way.When Ava followed Gina into the door of Graham Manor, she heard Gina's sharp voice. “What? Dan’s gone? Where did he go? D-Didn't he just wake up? What the hell is going on?”“Look at this and you'll know what's going on." Daniel's father sounded like he was reproaching someone, then he seemed to hand s
Ava stared at the empty ward for a while. Then, she returned to her senses and immediately went to look for Daniel.However, after looking around for a while, Ava could not find Daniel, which made her feel a little nervous.At this time, Gina also came in.She saw that the ward was empty, and Daniel, who was supposed to be lying on the hospital bed, had disappeared.“What’s going on? Where’s Dan? Did the doctor take Dan away?” Gina looked at Ava and asked with an unfriendly expression on her face.Ava was used to Gina's attitude, so she did not bother to argue with Gina. Instead, she replied, “I want to know as well.”“How could you not know? You came before me.”“Dan wasn't in the ward when I came,” Ava said and turned around. “I'll go to the nurse's station and ask.”“Wait.”Gina grabbed Ava, her face was dark.“Ava, let me tell you this. Dan has suffered a lot and gotten a lot of injuries because of you. Because of you, both Naya and her mother have been sent to prison. It
Since Julie was about to think that way, it showed that she was a reasonable person.“Lily.” Julie walked up to Lillian and squatted down, giving her a friendly blessing. “Lily, I really like you. I hope you can be happy every day, and I hope you’ll be able to speak soon.”Lillian was a sensible child. She raised a sweet smile and nodded vigorously, indicating that she acknowledged Julie's blessing.Julie stood up and faced Fabian. Right now, there was a little more admiration in her eyes and a little less of her unwilling persistence before.If one liked someone, one did not necessarily have to stubbornly fight for it.Julie did not say anything and just smiled at Fabian.Fabian did not say anything more either. He bent over and picked Lillian up in his arms. Before turning around, he gave Julie a friendly smile.“Miss Charles, you can still come to me if you need help in the future. After all, I still owe you a favor.”Julie smiled and shook her head. “You stopped owing me an
“I did,” Fabian admitted frankly.Julie thought she would feel embarrassed because of this, but she did not know why she still felt very relaxed. Even so, she still felt a little embarrassed.In order to not make Julie feel embarrassed, Fabian smiled and said, “I wanted to help you get out of that situation, Miss Charles, but I didn't want to cross the line. I also didn’t expect someone to have taken a video and put it on the internet. Lily and I have caused you much trouble. I'm really sorry about that.”Fabian paused as he spoke, then, he glanced at Lillian softly.“But Miss Charles, rest assured, there’ll be no such trouble in the future.”Julie was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, and she inexplicably felt a strong sense of loss coming up from the bottom of her heart.She looked at Fabian suspiciously, and sure enough, the words she heard next made her feel remorseful.“Miss Charles, I’ve found a more suitable school for Lily, and it’s closer to where I work so
The scene of Mr. Martinez causing a ruckus and Fabian coming to the rescue with Lillian at the end was all recorded and posted on the internet.This person was still a little conscientious and had censored Lillian's appearance, but Fabian's figure and face were clearly visible in the video.Patty recognized the person in the video as Fabian at a glance.After seeing the comments below, Patty was even more anxious.“Julie, how could you fall in love with a single father?”Julie frowned. “Yes, I won't deny it. I do have a crush on Mr. Johnson.”“What?”“Tsk tsk… Julie, do you really like this single father?” The look in Mrs. Gill's eyes was very subtle. “Someone dug up all his information, and it turns out that this man is Yorick's younger brother. Back then, Yorick stirred up all kinds of troubles and did whatever he wanted in F Country. His sister, Lana, was also notorious in our circle.”“What? He's Yorick and Lana's younger brother?” Patty was even more nervous, for fear that
