Married by Mistake – Chapter 2431

“So, Eveline, thank you. I’ll never make a fool of myself again in the days to come.”

After saying this, Hannah curled her lips into an intriguing smile before turning around decisively. After turning around and taking two steps, she looked back at Madeline who was standing there.

“There’s one more thing I forgot to say. I wish you and Mr. Whitman a long and happy life.”

After giving this last blessing, Hannah walked forward freely and did not look back.

Madeline looked at Hannah’s back, which was gradually disappearing. She did not forget to reply, “Thank you…”

On the way back, Madeline still found it a little weird. How did Hannah suddenly have an epiphany?

Something must have happened. A person who hated her to the bone was suddenly relieved and unaffected. Something must have enlightened her. Yet, Madeline could not think of the reason until she got home and heard Jeremy talk about what happened last night.

“Last night, she seemed to be watching the evening news in the living room when we were eating in the dining room,” Jeremy said as he recalled.

However, Madeline had no impression of it at all. She had been so tired these days that she would go days without noticing Hannah’s existence.

“What was the news reporting at the time?” Madeline asked Jeremy, raising her clear and watery eyes.

Jeremy raised his hand to put it around Madeline’s shoulder. He told her what he knew, “It was about Ava’s kidnapping and how the police went to save her.”

“Really?” Madeline was surprised.

She did not expect the media to report this so quickly. She had not had the time to pay attention to the news on the internet since yesterday.

“So, she saw that and had a sudden change of heart?” Madeline guessed Hannah’s mood at the time and recalled the words she said in the parking lot.

“You can’t force a relationship.”

Jeremy shook his head. “Perhaps. Forget about her. Linnie, why don’t we call Lily?”

“Alright, I miss Lily too.” Madeline smiled and leaned against Jeremy’s shoulder.

As she watched Jeremy take out his mobile phone and video called Fabian, Madeline could not help but wonder if Hannah was touched because the news talked about how Daniel had protected Ava at such a dangerous moment. Maybe it was the scene where Jeremy turned back and carried her that finally made Hannah realize that her obsession was just a joke. Anyway, no matter what it was, she finally figured it out.

Soon, the notification sound of the video call being accepted pulled Madeline’s thoughts back. She saw Lillian‘s cute little face on the screen at a glance. Although Lillian still could not say anything else, she could still say ‘Mommy’ and ‘Daddy’.

Despite being separated by the screen, Madeline and Jeremy were still glad.

“Lily, how are you doing recently? Do you want to come home to see Mommy, Daddy, and your brothers?” Madeline asked with a gentle smile.

Lillian blinked her big watery eyes. When she was about to tell Madeline what she was thinking by gesturing, Fabian suddenly took away the phone. The screen was occupied by Fabian’s cool-looking and handsome face.

“Lily’s condition is not stable yet. She won’t be returning to Glendale for the time being.”

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2432

Fabian gave a very decisive answer, and his tone also sounded unfriendly. However, Madeline and Jeremy were used to Fabian’s attitude by now. Of course, Madeline and Jeremy also understood that it was not that Fabian had a problem with them, but instead, he had grown.

The young master who used to be cynical had now become calmer and steadier.

That was why Madeline and Jeremy were comfortable letting Lillian stay with Fabian.

“Fabian, how’s Lily’s health recently?” Jeremy asked earnestly. The thing that he was concerned about the most was his precious princess’ health.

Fabian turned the camera of the phone around. Lillian’s cute baby face appeared on the screen again. In the warmly decorated bedroom, the gentle warmth of the setting sun quietly scattered on Lillian’s fair little face. Small dimples accentuated both sides of her small mouth. She looked very energetic.

Madeline believed this was all due to Fabian.

“Fabian, Lily looks great. Thank you for taking such good care of my daughter,” Madeline thanked him.

“Don’t thank me. I didn’t do this all by myself. The person who spent the most effort and labor on Lily is my friend, but since he’s a doctor, this is his responsibility. There’s no need to thank him either.”

Fabian’s tone was very relaxed, but Madeline knew that Lily would not be in this current state if it were not for Fabian’s meticulous care.

“What’s wrong? Don’t you miss your daughter? You haven’t called in the past few days. Are you busy with something?” Fabian asked in a very light tone.

Madeline’s eyes were on the little princess, and at the same time, she answered Fabian’s question very seriously.

“Well, I encountered some troubling things recently, but they’ve been dealt with.”

“Hmm, you’re still busy as always, Madeline,” Fabian suddenly called out Madeline’s name so affectionately.

Madeline was shocked, but the way he addressed her made her recall the time she had just met Fabian. That cheerful and handsome young man would cynically call out her name, acting like a playboy. However, he was so steady now and doing everything seriously.

After they ended the video call, Madeline leaned against Jeremy’s arms, feeling a little lost.

Of course, the family would be better off staying together, but it was better for Lillian to stay by Fabian’s side right now.

F Country.

The small detached villa was shrouded in the soft golden glow of sunset.

Fabian was sitting on a reclining chair on the balcony of Lillian‘s small room. He held the latest report on Lillian’s condition. After reading it, a long-lost smile appeared on his handsome face.

All indicators looked normal.

On one side, the caretaker who took care of Lillian was relieved after seeing the report. “Young Master Fabian, Miss Lily has been in good condition recently. You should rest assured now.”

Fabian lifted the corners of his lips slightly. “Did Lily say she wanted to go to school?”

“Yes, even though she can’t speak, from the pictures she drew, she does seem to want to go to school.” The caretaker then took Lily’s drawings to show Fabian.

After Fabian saw them, he got up to walk to Lillian.

Lillian was in front of the small desk and was drawing silently on a piece of paper with a pen in her hand. Perhaps she sensed Fabian approaching her, so she lifted her clear and lively big eyes curiously. When she saw Fabian, she smiled and reached out her hand to grab Fabian’s hand before pointing at her drawing.

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2433

Feeling the warmth of Lillian’s little hands, Fabian felt a wonderful warm current flowing comfortably through his heart. He looked at Lillian’s drawing. The tall, thin man in the drawing was him.

In the drawing, he was holding Lily’s hand and they were standing in front of a building that looked like a kindergarten. Fabian instantly understood what Lillian meant. She wanted to go to school.

It was true that she would feel bored if she was locked at home or in the hospital every day. Children of this age needed to play with their peers.

Fabian decided to send Lily to kindergarten, but he was still very worried. Lillian’s body was not completely healthy. Plus, she could not speak, so he was afraid that Lily would be excluded and bullied in kindergarten. Even so, he could also see that Lily really wanted to go to school.

After careful consideration, Fabian did a lot of research and finally decided to send Lillian to the best aristocratic kindergarten closest to his workplace.

The second day after finishing the admission procedures, Fabian got up early in the morning and put a clean and simple dress on Lillian.

The little cutie stood in front of him obediently, staring at him earnestly with eyes as clear as water.

Fabian did not forget to remind her, “If you encounter anything that makes you unhappy in the kindergarten, you must tell me. If someone bullies you, you must tell the teacher first, then tell me. Do you understand?”

Lillian nodded obediently. She listened to all of Fabian’s advice.

After breakfast, Fabian personally drove Lily to the kindergarten. There were a lot of people at the gate of the kindergarten since classes were about to start. Fabian held Lillian’s hand tightly and walked to the gate of the school.

When he was about to send Lillian in, Fabian was inexplicably reluctant and worried. He was very worried.

Fabian squatted and reached out his hand to caress Lillian’s little head.

“Lily, you have to listen to the teachers, okay?”

Lillian blinked her big eyes and nodded.

“What a good girl. You have to call me if there’s anything.”

After Fabian said that, Lillian nodded again.

“Sir, are you Lillian’s parent?” A young woman’s voice approached them.

Fabian lifted his head to look over, and the woman in front of him looked foreign. She was smiling gently at Fabian. Her face looked gentle. Her features were small and delicate, which made her look very pretty.

When the teacher saw Fabian lifting his head to look at her, a blush clearly appeared on her face.

“I think l saw your back view yesterday. I wanted to say hi but you were walking a little hurriedly. My last name is Charles, and I’m Lillian’s teacher. Mr. Whitman, you can reach out to me if there are any issues in the future.”

After hearing the teacher’s introduction, Fabian furrowed his good-looking eyebrows and stood up. He seemed a little dissatisfied when he explained, “My last name is not Whitman, and I’m not Lillian’s parent.”

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2434

Fabian denied it very simply and decisively with a look of displeasure on his handsome face.

The teacher was stunned for a moment, but she quickly reacted and continued to put on a sweet, friendly smile. “I’m so sorry, I thought you were Lillian’s…”

“I’m Lillian’s guardian. If anything happens to Lillian at school, notify me immediately,” Fabian said and handed over his business card.

The teacher took the business card in her hand and glanced at it carefully.

Fabian turned back and stroked Lillian’s little head. “Lily, go in with the teacher. I’ll come to pick you up after school.”

Lillian lifted her baby face and blinked at Fabian.

Fabian lifted the corner of his lips and smiled softly. After that, he reached out and put a piece of candy in Lillian’s palm. Then, he looked at the teacher seriously, “Miss Charles, I’ll leave Lillian in your care, then.”

The teacher quickly put away the business card and smiled before nodding at Fabian.

“Mr. Johnson, don’t worry. I’m already aware of Lillian’s situation. I’ll take good care of her,” The teacher promised with a smile.

“Thank you,” Fabian thanked her, then turned around and left without saying anything more.

Lillian looked back at Fabian’s back and followed Miss Charles into the kindergarten gate.

As Fabian was driving away, his gaze stayed on the gates of the kindergarten for a few seconds before leaving.

Lillian had not gone to school for a long time. Now that she was back in an environment where there were many of her peers learning and playing together, she seemed to have perked up.

The teacher named Miss Charles arranged for Lillian to sit next to a little boy and specially instructed the little boy to take good care of his new classmate. The little boy looked at Lillian’s cute baby face and nodded. Seeing that the classmates were very friendly to Lillian, the new student, Miss Charles went back to the office without worries.

Fabian returned to the office and turned on his phone to find that someone had added him.

When he saw that it was Miss Charles from just now, Fabian quickly accepted the request and asked, “Miss Charles, did something happen to Lily?”

However, Fabian did not receive a reply even after the message was sent out for some time.

He was a little anxious, so he immediately called Miss Charles. However, no one answered.

About half an hour later, Fabian was almost at the gate of the kindergarten. Only then did he receive a reply from the teacher.

“Mr Johnson, Lillian is fine. Please don’t worry. I added you so that it’d be convenient to contact you for any follow-ups.”

After seeing this news, Fabian’s worried heart immediately calmed down. He raised his deep eyes and looked at the gate of the kindergarten not far ahead. His heart trembled inexplicably.

What was happening to him?

When did he start feeling so protective over that little child?

Perhaps it was from the first time he held Lillian, or perhaps after Lana’s and Yorick’s death, this little child became his only obsession. No matter what, Fabian knew no one could replace Lillian’ s existence in his life.

Fabian headed back to his office, but his eyes would keep glancing at the time.

Kindergarteners finished school earlier, and he could not miss the time to pick up Lillian.

During lunchtime, Fabian received a message from Miss Charles. She sent him a video of Lillian eating lunch. She also sent him a picture of Lillian taking an afternoon nap. Fabian’s gaze turned softer after looking at the photos of Lillian on the screen.

Today was the first day of school for Lillian. When Fabian went to pick her up from school, he brought over the toys and a little cake that he bought for her.

Miss Charles held Lillian’s hand and handed her to Fabian. Then, Fabian handed the little cake he bought to Miss Charles before thanking her.

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2435

Miss Charles was a little embarrassed, but she took the cake anyway and waved goodbye to Lillian. Lillian smiled and waved goodbye to the teacher.

After getting in the car, Fabian’s eyes glanced in the rearview mirror from time to time.

“Lily, are you happy that you got to go to school today?”

Lillian nodded.

Fabian asked again, “Did any of your classmates bully you?”

Lillian shook her head, and there was a pure smile on her little face.

Fabian breathed a sigh of relief.

For the next few days, Fabian picked up and dropped off Lillian on time every day. For the rest of the time, he was either in the company or he was taking Lillian to the hospital for regular check-ups. He would only go to these few locations. He rarely indulged in entertainment or attended gatherings.

His best friend was making fun of him, saying that he did not have a girlfriend yet but seemed to be tied down already. That was the truth, but Fabian was happy with this.

He had promised Madeline and himself that he would take care of Lillian with all his heart in his life. He would take care of her until the day she became a slender and elegant young woman. On that day, he would no longer need to suppress his feelings. Until this day came, he would always be her Fab, and he would only be a big brother to her.

Fabian’s mind inexplicably wandered until a familiar tug came from the corner of his clothes. He looked back and lowered his eyes. He saw Lillian smiling slightly and pointing to the cute picture book in front of her with the other hand.

Fabian understood and immediately bought Lillian a set of books.

“What else do you want, Lily? Tell me.”

Lillian shook her head and pointed at her stomach.

“Are you hungry?”

Lillian nodded, telling Fabian that she was hungry.

When Fabian was holding her hand to walk to a burger shop, Lillian suddenly pointed at one side excitedly. Her little mouth made soft murmurs. Before Fabian could see what Lillian was pointing at, he heard a woman’s greeting.

“Lillian? Mr. Johnson, what a coincidence. I didn’t expect to run into you here.”

Fabian finally saw the person clearly. It seemed that Lillian had spotted her teacher. He then vaguely remembered that the teacher’s name was Julie. There was a female friend next to Julia who was about the same age as her.

“Hello, Miss Charles,” Fabian greeted politely and humbly.

“Hello, Mr. Johnson. Are you shopping with Lily?”

Fabian nodded softly. “Are you shopping as well?”

“Yeah, it’s the weekend, so I came to shop with my friend…”

“Well, I won’t disturb you anymore. Lily is hungry, so I’ll bring her to eat.” Fabian seemed to not have the patience to listen to Julie. He picked Lillian up to leave.

Julia did not mind. She smiled and nodded before waving to Lily. “See you tomorrow, Lily. ”

Lillian waved her hand obediently too.

When the woman next to Julie saw Fabian carrying Lillian into the burger shop in front, she said, “He’s so handsome. He looks so young, but I didn’t expect him to have a daughter who’s so grown.”

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2436

After listening to her friend’s exclamation, Julie smiled happily. “That little girl is not Mr. Johnson’s daughter.”

“Not his daughter?” The friend was surprised. “But it looks like this handsome guy is very concerned about this little girl.”

“He’s her guardian, so of course, he’s concerned about the child in his care,” Julie explained, and her words sounded very reasonable. She looked at Fabian’s back as he entered the burger shop, a smile appearing on the corners of her lips. “Mr. Johnson is so loving and patient with children. I’m pretty sure he’ll love his own children even more when he has them in the future.”

It was the weekend, so Fabian spent the day out with Lillian.

It was not until dusk that Lillian felt a little sleepy. Fabian carefully carried Lillian who had started to doze off and got into the car.

After returning home, Fabian carried Lillian to the bedroom to sleep. Looking at her innocent sleeping face, Fabian’s heart was extremely satisfied and at ease.

He went back to his room to take a shower, dealt with some work, and finally called his only best friend F Country, Evan, to discuss Lillian’s health.

When he was about to hang up, Evan could not help but gossip, “Say, Young Master Johnson, have you noticed a problem?”

“What problem?” Fabian asked casually while walking toward Lillian’s bedroom. He looked at the time and figured that Lillian should be waking up soon.

“Fabian, you are an adult. You’re handsome and rich. You’re excellent in every aspect, but you’ve never had a girlfriend. You don’t like sweet girls or mature ladies. Instead, you’re always revolving around Lily. Is it because you’re not straight?”

Evan expressed his concerns, but at the same time, he did not forget to remind Fabian solemnly, “Fabian, listen to me. Don’t ever have any ideas about me. I’m as straight as they come.”

When Fabian heard this, he was not mad. Instead, he laughed. He coincidentally arrived at Lillian’s room. When he saw the little cutie who had just woken up from her sleep and was still groggy, his gaze softened. He said, “Don’t worry, I’m not interested in you. I already have someone in my heart.”

On the other end of the line, Evan seemed to have made a new discovery when he heard this. “What? You have someone in your heart? Do you already have a girlfriend? Who? Tell me…”

Beep!

Before Evan could finish, Fabian hung up the phone. Evan could not stop the curiosity in his heart and called Fabian back. However, Fabian did not answer. Instead, he texted Evan back saying that Evan would naturally find out when the time was right.

Young Master Johnson, who was so cynical in the past, was now speaking to him with such an earnest tone that Evan felt that he would not be able to get to the bottom of this. Although he was very curious and cared about his good friend, he should respect Fabian’s decision.

In the next week, Fabian sent Lillian to kindergarten as usual. Not long after he went back to work, he received a message from Miss Charles. Miss Charles reported to Fabian about Lillian’s situation in the classroom as always. Fabian also politely expressed his gratitude every time he saw the updates.

When Julie saw Fabian’s reply, the smile on her face would widen.

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2437

After school, Fabian picked up Lillian right away. Perhaps it was because of Lillian’s physical condition that the school took more care of her.

At night.

Fabian held Lillian’s half-finished DIY work and did the finishing touches seriously. After completing it, Fabian sat next to Lillian’s bed for a while. He did not know when he fell asleep, but when he woke up the next day, he found that he had fallen asleep next to Lillian’s bed.

When he saw the caretaker who took care of Lillian come into the room, Fabian got up with a little embarrassment.

The caretaker did not find it strange to see this scene. Everyone in this room knew that Fabian, the elder brother, had always been fond of his little sister, Lillian. In truth, Fabian was just a little worried because he did not know whether he had affected Lillian with the way he slept. However, it seemed that the little girl slept well.

Fabian still sent Lillian to kindergarten as usual.

After returning to the company, he received news from Julie again. However, this time, Julie’s tone seemed anxious.

[Mr. Johnson, please come over quickly. Lillian beat someone up.]

When he saw this message, Fabian left the conference room where the regular meeting was taking place without hesitation. He called Julie, but no one answered. Fabian’s heart was panicking, and his mind was occupied with the statement ‘Lillian beat someone up’.

How could Lily, such a docile and well-behaved child, hit someone?

Fabian did not want to believe it, but after he arrived at the school, Julie told him with certainty that Lillian had indeed beaten someone up. The one who was beaten into tears was a little boy.

The little boy stood beside his father and cried, “Daddy, she hit me, boo-hoo. It hurts. My hand hurts…”

The little boy stretched out his right hand while crying. There was indeed a large red spot on the back of his chubby hand.

Fabian looked at the boy’s hand and frowned slightly, but his eyes quickly fell back to Lillian.

“Lily…” Fabian squatted down and gently caressed Lillian’s cheek. “What’s wrong with you? Why did you hit your classmate, huh? I know that you’re an extremely good girl and you wouldn’t simply beat someone up. Did something happen and that’s why you hit him? If yes, just nod and tell me.”

Fabian’s attitude was very gentle and patient. Julie, who was watching on the side, was a little moved. However, the little boy’s father was not happy. “Hey, what are you saying as a father? Are you saying your daughter beat my son up because he was the one who caused trouble first? Even if my son did something, your daughter’s the one who beat him up. The one who takes action first is the one in the wrong! Hurry up and ask your daughter to apologize to my son. Otherwise, I won’t let this rest.”

Fabian’s eyes turned dark He slowly got up to face the overbearing man who looked like a parvenu.

“Mr. Johnson.” Julie quickly walked next to Fabian. She was worried that Fabian would start fighting with this man, so she stopped him. “Mr. Johnson, please calm down. ”

Fabian lowered his eyes to look at Lillian, who looked miserable. Then, he lifted his cold eyes to look at the aggressive man.

“Firstly, I’m not her father, so I don’t know what fathers think. Secondly, it’s wrong to hit someone, but if your son was the one who provoked Lily and that caused her to strike first, I won’t let this matter rest either.”

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2438

Fabian’s sharp eyes and determined tone made the little boy’s father feel a hint of chill, but when he remembered that it was his son who was beaten up, confidence surged within him once more.

“You’re so strange, pretty boy. Since you’re not the father of this little thing, what are you doing here? Why are you so righteous now that the little thing has beaten my son up?” The man rolled up his sleeves, looking arrogant and domineering.

“Say, Miss Charles, I spent so much money to send my son to school here, and is this how you take care of him? Now that my son was beaten by this little thing, you must expel her immediately. Otherwise, I’ll even report you!”

“What did you say? Who are you calling a little thing? Say it again if you have the galls.” Fabian’s heart was already ignited by this man, but at this moment, his gaze was like a cold arrow. The man was instantly flustered.

“Miss Charles, don’t worry. I won’t let you lose your job because of this. There should be surveillance cameras in the classroom, right? Get the surveillance footage right now. We’ll see exactly what happened.”

Of course, Julie did not think this man could threaten her job. However, Fabian’s way of defending her made her heart beat faster involuntarily.

“Yes, there are surveillance cameras. I’ll get the footage right away.” Julie immediately walked to the door.

Seeing this, the man looked a little impatient. “Why should we get the surveillance footage? The facts are in front of us. So many children here saw it with their own eyes. Children won’t lie.”

He said and pointed to the silent Lillian. “What’s going on with your child? She’s not apologizing after she beat someone up. Do you think just because you’re a girl that we guys have to accommodate you? If you apologize to my son now, I won’t pursue this any further.”

He urged impatiently and began to mumble.

“Who gave birth to this strange thing? She hasn’t said a word in such a long time. It’s like she’s mute.”

The man’s last sentence obviously offended Fabian.

At this time, the man’s son suddenly replied loudly, “Dad, she is mute. She can’t speak!”

The man did not have the slightest empathy. Instead, he laughed out loud. “Oh, she’s actually a mute girl!”

Fabian suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed the man’s collar, his eyes piercing the man like an icepick. The man shuddered with fright. Just as he was about to ask Fabian what he wanted to do, he received a heavy blow to his face.

“Ouch!” The man screamed in pain.

When he was about to get out of Fabian’s grip, Fabian suddenly pulled the man in front of him. “Do you know what you’re talking about? You’re an adult, but you don’t have any sympathy and love. You’re here making fun of a child who can’t talk because of illness. Are you a man?”

“I don’t think there’s any need to check the surveillance footage at all. With a parent like you, of course, your child would be a nightmare as well.”

“You!”

“Apologize to the kid right now!” Fabian ordered angrily.

Julie, who hurried back, heard Fabian’s angry voice when she was at the door. She quickened her pace and ran in, only to see Fabian throw the man to the ground angrily.

The man lost his footing and fell to the ground. He tumbled backward.

“Daddy, Daddy!” The little boy hurriedly ran to his father.

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2439

Meanwhile, Fabian came to Lillian’s side, reached out, and caressed her cute little head to comfort her.

“Don’t be afraid, Lily. I’m here. I’ll never let anyone bully you.”

With Fabian by his side, Lillian would never be afraid. Although she was still a very young girl, she had never been afraid of such villains even when they bullied her. Even when she faced the she-devil Lana and was thrown into the pool, she never once begged Lana to spare her. It could be said that she had completely inherited Madeline’s genes. Even in the face of criticism and accusations, she was silent because she could not speak. Even so, her eyes were bright and confident

Seeing this, Julie immediately went to mediate.

“Mr. Johnson, how could you…”

“Yes, I hit someone, but it’s because he deserves it.”

Fabian’s expression never changed. His sharp eyes fell on Julie’s face as he asked, “Did you get the footage?”

“Yes, please go to the office to check,” Julie said and glanced at the man who got up from the ground. “Mr. Martinez, are you alright?”

“Am I alright? Do you think I’m alright? Both the child and the adult go around beating people up. Just you wait, I’ll make you pay the price!” The man threatened angrily. “Why should we even watch the surveillance footage? I don’t want to watch it. I want this mute to apologize to my son now, and you, pretty boy, I…”

“If you don’t want the other side of your face to swell as well, come watch the surveillance with me. If Lily was the one who bullied your son, I’ll let you do whatever you want to me. However, if the footage proves that your son was the one who provoked Lily, I’ll hit the other side of your face until it swells.”

After Fabian finished talking, he picked Lillian up and walked toward the door.

The man was mad but was cowering a little. However, he could not let himself lose his dignity in front of the children. Hence, he barged angrily behind Fabian to watch the footage in the office.

When they saw the surveillance footage, the man felt a scorching pain in the check where he was punched by Fabian. The footage was very clear, but there was also sound. The screen clearly showed the scene of the little boy blocking Lillian’s way while annoying her.

He would touch Lillian’s coloring pencils and also pull Lillian’s hair. What was even worse was that he wanted to grab Lillian’s hand, but at this moment, Lillian, who was always docile, was enraged. Hence, she pushed the little boy’s hand away. The little boy might not have expected Lillian to have such a big reaction, so he fell to the floor. His hand did not swell because Lillian hit him. He just accidentally knocked it on the edge of the table when he fell.

The incident’s details were made clear at once.

The coldness in Fabian’s eyes was even more intense now. He tried his best to control the anger and evil tendencies in his heart. Then, he walked to the little boy who did not dare to speak anymore.

“Since you’re a child, I won’t do anything to you. However, if you’re smart, you should immediately say sorry to Lillian and promise that you won’t get close to her anymore. Otherwise, I’ll make sure that your hand will get even more swollen and painful than it is right now.”

“You’re threatening my son, you pretty boy! You…”

“I never waste my breath threatening anyone. Listen up, I’m warning him,” Fabian interrupted the man coolly. Right now, his terrifying gaze was telling the man that he was not just saying those words.

“Whoever bullies Lily will be going against me. I’ll make the life of anyone who goes against me a living hell.”

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2440

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?”

“Uhm…”

“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 uglier than a crying face. “Little girl, it’s my fault. I didn’t choose my words wisely. If I upset you with what I said, please don’t take it to heart. I’m sorry, little girl.”

After hearing the man’s apology, Fabian’s cold eyes glanced past the man. When he looked at Lillian’s little face, his gaze turned warm and bright.

“Lily, what do you think? Do you accept their apologies?” Fabian’s soft tone at the moment was completely different from the previous one.

An envious look overflowed from Julie’s eyes uncontrollably. She had never seen a guy being so loving and patient to a little child. This was something very rare.

Just as Fabian expected, Lillian nodded quickly. She accepted the apologies. She was a very sensible and obedient girl. If she was not provoked, how could she have flipped her lid?

When the father and son saw Lillian nodding, they breathed a sigh of relief.

“Well, since this little girl has accepted our apologies, this matter is settled. I still have something to do, so I’ll beheading out first. You brat, don’ t make trouble for me, or else I’ll spank you until you can’t sit down.”

After the man viciously warned his son, he raised his head and smiled awkwardly at Fabian. He wanted to flee.

“Wait!” Fabian stopped the man.

The man stopped in his tracks. He could not stop himself from breaking out in a cold sweat. He turned his head and looked at Fabian with some trepidation. “What else can I help you with, sir?”

“Have you forgotten about your threats to Miss Charles just now?”

“Apologize to Miss Charles,” Fabian reminded the man.

The man was stunned for a moment, but in order to avoid being beaten again, he quickly apologized to Julie. “Miss Charles, I’m so sorry. It’s because of my poor discipline that my son…”

“It’s okay, Mr. Martinez. You don’t have to apologize.”

“I should.” The man was afraid to cross Fabian again.

After he apologized, he did not feel so flustered anymore. When he saw that Fabian was not speaking, the man did not waste any time and fled quickly. However, as soon as the man left, he clutched his face and ran to the nearest police station to report that someone had beaten him.

On the other hand, Fabian took Lillian’s hand and sent her back to the classroom. The boy who made trouble did not dare to approach Lillian again, let alone touch her.
