What Fabian said previously still rang in her ears. She did not understand what Fabian meant with his question, but the initial expectation she had surged within her heart once more. "I don't have a boyfriend." Julie did not hesitate to answer, and her heart started beating faster unconsciously."That's really great. I really wouldn’t want to miss out on such an excellent, gentle, and kind-hearted woman like you, Miss Charles."“...” Julie was really confused.Evan also looked at Fabian with surprise.What was going on?Did Fab not just say that he was not interested in Julie? Why was he saying this now?Just as they were wondering, Julie and Evan heard Fabian continue."Evan, I’ve done my best as your friend. I already invited such a good woman here for you. The rest is up to you.""...""...""If it weren't for me having no intentions to date now, I really wouldn’t have been willing to introduce such a great woman to you." "...""..." When Fabian was done talking, Ju
Evan was very direct. He had never beat about the bush with Fabian. Fabian did not deny it either, but he could not accept Evan’s choice of words. "She’s undoubtedly a very fine lady, so much better than those libertine women you keep by your side. Not to mention, it’s such a coincidence that you two have met before. You even know her father. Maybe you two really are fated." Evan raised his eyebrow. "Young Master Fabian, you still wish to matchmake me? But you have to get this clear. The one she’s interested in is you." "I don't even know her that well. At most, she might fancy my appearance,” Fabian said coldly. He then called a servant to bring Lillian back to the room to take a bath first.Evan did not really agree with Fabian’s perspective. "It’s only because of one's attraction to another’s appearance, that one would then feel inclined to learn more about the other on a personal level. Fab, you’re still too naive. It seems that I have to teach you more about this.""Do the
However, Fabian was not interested in her. He even introduced her to another man. This left Julie feeling depressed for a while. Until today, she could not figure out just what about her was not enough. "Julie, it's normal for couples to quarrel with each other. Don't be too depressed. If he has tried coaxing you, then let it be. Don't hold onto your anger against your man all the time," another female colleague reminded her kindly.Julie was stunned for a whole two seconds before she nodded along."No, we didn't argue." She smiled faintly and said somewhat embarrassedly. Right at this moment, her phone rang with a notification, indicating that she had gotten a message. Julie picked up the phone with anticipation and looked closely. It was indeed a message from Fabian, but after opening it, she only saw four utterly familiar words. [Thank you, Miss Charles.]Julie felt so disappointed, but she could not make any requests whatsoever. She was not Fabian's girlfriend. Julie put
After asking this question, Julie felt that she was asking very profound questions. How could a child who was still in kindergarten understand the definition of boyfriend and girlfriend? Sure enough, Lillian looked at Julie with a curious look as if asking what girlfriend meant.Julie felt that there was no need for her to ask any more questions. Just then, the bell signaling the end of break rang. "Lillian, class is about to start soon. Hurry back to your class." Lillian nodded and walked to her class obediently.While watching her little figure, thoughts bubbled in Julie's mind.She really wanted to know who Fabian had in his heart. Fabian still showed up on time when school was over for Lillian. Of course, he would see Julie every time. As always, Julie sent Lillian to Fabian with a friendly and gentle smile.Fabian politely expressed his thank as usual to maintain the distance between them.In the long run, Fabian felt that Julie would get a clear idea about what h
Fabian woke up early in the morning and put the piping hot lunch the chef just made into a thermal lunch box. Then, he thoroughly checked all of the things that Lillian had to bring today.When he was almost done getting ready, Lillian came downstairs after washing up.Half an hour later, Fabian brought Lillian to kindergarten.When they arrived, a bunch of parents and their kids had already gathered at the entrance. Everyone seemed to be in high spirits.Fabian led Lillian inside. On the other hand, Julie had long spotted the person she had been waiting all morning for amidst the crowd.“Mr. Johnson.” Julie waved at Fabian.Fabian looked up and saw Julie walk toward him with a smile on her face.“Miss Charles, it must be difficult for you to take care of so many children today.”“Well, it’s my job. Mr. Johnson, this is the itinerary for the spring outing today, as well as some things to take note of. Please read through it first and feel free to ask me if you have any question
Only then did Julie come to her senses. She turned to see her female colleague looking in Fabian’s direction with a puzzled look.“Julie, isn’t Mr. Johnson your boyfriend? Why is he chatting with another woman so attentively? Did both of you fight again?” the female colleague asked repeatedly out of curiosity.Previously, she had never clarified that she and Fabian were not in a relationship, so it would be awkward for her to deny it now. Hence, she chose the same approach.“It’s nothing. Let’s do our job first and talk later.” Julie came up with an excuse and left.The female colleague thought it would be inappropriate to question any further, so she turned around and went about her business.Although Julie said she was going to do her job, she still could not stop thinking about Fabian.After seeing Fabian chat happily with the young mother, Julie felt even more on edge.Was it on purpose?While Julie was making guesses, she suddenly thought of something.It seemed like the
At that moment, the tiramisu in her hands no longer smelled good to Julie.She turned around to leave in discontent and saw other parents coming over with their children to gift her exquisite snacks and refreshments. Julie kept a decent smile and accepted the kind gestures of each and every one of the parents and students. However, she was not in the mood to eat these at all.After setting everything aside, she could not help but want to take another look at Fabian.However, she did not see Fabian after turning around this time. Instead, she saw the beautiful single mother who was walking toward her with her son.She brought her son along with her and walked up to Julie with a polite smile on her elegant face.“Miss Charles, thank you for taking such good care of my son at school during the weekdays. This is a snack I made myself this morning. I hope you like it.”Julie glanced at what she handed over. It was a box of four mochi balls that looked very appetizing.Although Julie
“Mr. Johnson, do you hate me?” asked Julie as she strode forward to catch up to Fabian.After hearing Julie’s question, Fabian’s expression did not change in the slightest. On the other hand, Lillian raised her head and was looking curiously at Julie with her bright eyes.However, children’s minds were still innocent. She only looked at Julie for a second before continuing to walk forward with small steps.At this moment, Fabian started to talk, “Why do you ask, Miss Charles?”Julie internally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled out of embarrassment as Fabian finally acknowledged her existence.“It’s nothing. I just feel like I’ve done something wrong to make you not want to talk to me.”“Miss Charles, you must be overthinking. You’re Lily’s teacher. I have nothing but respect for you. How could I feel hatred toward you?”Fabian answered courteously, yet his answer sent a chill down her spine.Nothing but respect?She fell into a trance for a moment until she heard Fabian spe
