‘Um…’Looking at Fabian's sullen eyes, the man immediately admitted defeat.“You punk, this is all your fault! Hurry up and apologize to her!” the man scolded his son who was standing beside him and pushed his son in front of Lillian. “Hurry up and apologize!”The man was scared, let alone the man’s son.“I-I'm sorry, Lillian.” The man's son apologized tremblingly, not having the courage to look directly at Lillian.Seeing this, the man immediately smiled flatteringly. “Look, my son has apologized. Are you satisfied?”Fabian raised his eyes coldly. “Do you think this is enough? Do you think you’re not at fault at all?”“Um…”“Parents are the best teachers for children. You, as his father, have an inescapable responsibility for how your son turned out.”“...Yes, yes,” the man answered repeatedly. He did not dare to talk back to Fabian at all. “You’re right. I, as the father, have a great responsibility.”He submissively looked at Fabian with a smiling face that looked even ugl
On the way back, Julie sent Fabian to the door of the kindergarten and thanked him.“Thank you for speaking up for me just now, Mr. Johnson.”Fabian did not take it to heart, but when he saw Julie expressing her gratitude, he spoke calmly.“It's nothing. You don’t need to thank me, Miss Charles. I still need to trouble you to take care of Lily on weekdays. If anything happens to Lily, I’ll need you to tell me as soon as possible.”Julie nodded with a smile. “Mr. Johnson, don't worry. I’ll pay more attention to Lily.”“Thanks.”After Fabian thanked her, he was about to leave. However, when he turned around, he saw the man whom he punched just now angrily walking toward him with two policemen.The man quickened his pace when he saw that Fabian seemed to be leaving and pointed to Fabian before telling the police beside him.“Officers, it's this pretty boy. This pretty boy was the one who hit me just now. Look at my face. It's swollen now! You must arrest him!”When Fabian saw thi
The police were pretty courteous.Fabian glanced at the man who was arrogant just now and nodded calmly.“Alright,” he replied indifferently. He then turned his head to look at Julie, who appeared worried. “Miss Charles, go back to the classroom and please look after Lily. Thank you.”Julie was worried and wanted to say something, but she felt like she had no right to. Hence, she just nodded.“Mr. Johnson, you can rest assured that I’ll take care of every student in the class.”Fabian lightly pulled the corner of his lips into a smile. He did not say anything else. Then, he took the lead and walked forward.The two policemen followed behind Fabian, then they called the man along.“Mr. Martinez, please follow us to the police station again to assist in the investigation.”The man cowered as he glanced at Fabian's tall and lean figure. Suddenly, he wanted to back out of this.“W-Why don’t we just forget this?” The man wanted to give up on pursuing the matter. He felt that he had
The police frowned suspiciously. “Did Fabian hit your son?”“I-It’s even more serious than hitting my son,” the man said without exaggeration.The two police officers looked at each other and felt that it was necessary to pay attention to this matter.After a while, the police officer who interrogated Fabian came out of the interrogation room with a solemn expression.The man named Mr. Martinez rushed over at once to ask about the situation.“Officer, how did it go? Are you going to arrest Fabian and lock him up?”The police officer looked at the man with a serious look in his eyes. “Fabian readily admitted from the beginning that he hit you, and he didn't try to explain it, but…”The man's heart twitched. “But what?”“Mr. Martinez, Fabian is going to sue you and your son now.”“...What? He wants to counter-sue me and my son?”“That's right.” The policeman nodded affirmatively. “And he also summoned his lawyer who’ll be arriving soon.”“...”“Mr. Martinez, did your son bull
When Julie heard what Fabian said, she was surprised but did not show it. On the surface, she maintained her gentle and reserved demeanor. "I’m free tonight, but would that be too much trouble?""No. As long as you feel okay with it, it's fine.""Alright then." Julie nodded and agreed. Deep down, she was already planning what gifts she would bring to Fabian's house.Then, it was evening and kindergarten was over.Fabian arrived at the kindergarten’s entrance right on time. Julie took Lillian by her hand and brought her to Fabian."Mr. Johnson, I have other business to attend to. Here, you can take Lily back first.""Okay, go ahead," Fabian did not say much. He just turned around and walked away with Lillian in his hand.Julie was at a loss as she looked at Fabian's back, but the work in front of her was fighting for her attention.She sent the children back to their parents in an orderly manner before she returned to the office to deal with other matters.By the time she was a
While they were driving, Fabian did not say a word, so Julie kept silent.When the car stopped, Julie silently sighed in relief as she had felt as if she were about to die from suffocation.When she got out of the car, Julie took the initiative and tried to carry Lillian out of the car, but Fabian was one step faster."Allow me." Fabian very decisively stepped forward and carefully carried Lillian into his arms as he led the way. "Please follow me, Miss Charles."Julie froze for a moment before catching up behind him.She looked around the place and noticed that although the house Fabian lived in was not a particularly luxurious or grand villa, it still seemed like an expensive place.Fabian's background popped up in Julie’s mind. His brother, Yorick, used to be a powerful big shot in F Country, but it was later found out that he was involved in illegal business dealings. Since Fabian was still unscathed and he was doing his own business now in F Country, it would mean that he ha
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.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 sometime
"Lily, is the blueberry sweet?"Lillian blinked her big eyes and reached out to grab a small blueberry before bringing it to Fabian's mouth.Fabian understood and smiled as he lowered his head to eat the blueberry she offered.For some reason, the sour blueberry tasted sweet.Only Fabian knew why it tasted sweet.Evan looked at the heartwarming scene and plopped down beside Fabian."Fab, are you telling me that Miss Charles isn’t the woman you have a crush on?""Stop speculating. How could I possibly like Lily's teacher?" Fabian denied it with a serious look on his face."Well, that's a pity. Otherwise, it would’ve been a win-win situation and your business would’ve gone to the next level." Evan had a look of pity on his face, but it soon turned into a relieved smile. "But judging from your personality, it probably wouldn't make much of a difference for you."Fabian did not understand what he meant but seemed to have caught onto something."You know Julie?" Fabian asked.Eva
