Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman

Chapter 2446

Tonight was supposed to be an unexpectedly rare opportunity, she thought she would be

able to have dinner with Fabian alone and have a kid tag along at most, but she did not

expect that Fabian's friend would also be here. '

His presence seemed to have ruined the vibes, but Julie did not show her annoyance on

her face.

She kept a decent, gentle smile on her face throughout the meal and tried to look after

Lillian to show them her good traits, but she had no chance to do so. From the time they

started eating, Fabian had been taking care of Lillian himself all the way to the end of the

meal. 1

All Lillian had to do was eat like a good girl. Fabian put all the food on her plate, peeled

every prawn for her, and even deboned all the fish for her. He was incredibly thoughtful

toward Lillian during the entire meal.

When Julie saw all of that, she wished she could do all of that for her. she felt that a guy

who acted like Fabian was incredibly rare. As a kindergarten teacher, she would

sometimes run out of patience for the kids, yet Fabian seemed to be able to do everything.

After the meal was over, Fabian invited Julie to chat in the living room.

A servant brought in some nicely-cut fruits and dessert. Julie wanted to take this

opportunity to talk to Lillian for a while, but Fabian picked her up and put Lillian by his side

before putting Lillian’s little fruit platter into her small hands.

Fabian looked at Lillian with warmth in his eye. "Here, Lily. Eat more fruits, okay?

They're good for you."

Lillian was a good girl, nodding her little head and obediently eating the fruits as she was

told.

"Lily’s such a good girl," Julie smiled and complimented her. "Although Lily doesn't speak, I

can tell that she’s a very understanding girl. She’s a bright and

adorable little girl, which I think is all thanks to your meticulous care for her, Mr. Johnson."

After she said that, Evan teased Fabian before he even had the time to reply.

"I know, right? I think Fab cares more about Lily than her own parents do."

Fabian looked at Evan coldly. "Nonsense."

Evan was used to Fabian’s personality, so he just shrugged and smiled. "Ahem, what I

mean is, Eveline and Jeremy have three children. Three children are a lot to take care of,

so it’s great that Lily's staying with you. Besides, staying with you was also Lily’s choice."

When Fabian heard what Evan said, he could not help but recall the image of the time

when Madeline and Jeremy were about to take Lillian home. At that time, Madeline and

Jeremy decided that they were going to take Lillian back to Glendale, but Lillian walked

firmly toward him before they left.

When Fabian thought about that, a sweet smile appeared on his face.

He lifted his hand and gently stroked Lillian's little head before turning his face sideways to

look at Julie.

"Miss Charles, I must thank you for today. Thank you for taking care of Lily in school every

day. Even though she can't speak, she understands everything that’s going on and told me

that she likes you very much, Miss Charles."

When Julie heard what he said, she blushed a little from embarrassment.

"You’re too nice, Mr. Johnson. Lily’s my student. It’s my responsibility to take care of her.

It’s only my job, Besides, Lily’s so cute, which is a plus."

When Julie said that, she smiled at Lillian before continuing seriously.

"As for today's matter, I was just explaining the whole thing to the police as it was."

"Even so, I still want to thank you for everything."

"Oh Mr. Johnson, it’s my pleasure. I—"

"Can one of you guys just accept the compliment?" Evan interrupted them. When he was

about to say something, Julie's phone rang.

"I need to take this call. Please go ahead without me." Julie got up and headed outside.

Fabian nodded gently and put all his attention back on Lillian.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
