Ch. 2441..2450

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2441

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 this, he tugged the corner of his thin lips somewhat amusingly and stood there with a calm expression. Meanwhile, Julie frowned. She did not expect the man who had acted like a yes-man just earlier to report the incident to the police.

After watching the surveillance footage, they could conclude that it was indeed the little boy‘s fault. However, it was also a fact that Fabian hit the man. Thinking of this, Julie could not help but be a little worried about Fabian.

The two police officers walked up to Fabian and asked seriously, “Did you beat this gentleman just now?”

Fabian glanced at the man indifferently from the corners of his eyes, then admitted very frankly, “That’s right. I hit him just now.”

The man became even more arrogant after he heard Fabian admitting it. “Officers, you heard him. He admitted it! He’s the one who hit me, so arrest him now!”

There was a wicked smile on the corners of the man’s mouth, and be cast a smug look at Fabian as if to say, ‘How dare you offend me? I’ll make you pay!’

However, Fabian was not bothered.

The policeman looked at Fabian seriously and asked, “What’s your name?”

“Fabian Johnson.”

“Fabian Johnson?”

The two police officers looked at each other and felt that the name was a little familiar. Then, they seemed to have suddenly thought of something.

“Who are Yorick Johnson and Lana Johnson to you?”

‘Yorick and Lana Johnson?’

Both the man and Julie were stunned when they heard those names. Almost everyone had heard of those two names in F Country.

Yorick used to be the big boss of a big group. He had power and authority, but it was later discovered that Yorick was engaged in illegal business. Meanwhile, Lana was a woman who was notorious in F Country. She was unruly and self-willed, so she would cause a lot of trouble as she had Yorick backing her. Lana did a lot of bag things like snatching boyfriends and forcefully taking away the possessions of others. In the end, it was said that she was met with a tragic end. However, how would these two people be connected with Fabian?

Julie’s heart started to race, while the man who made the report started to feel anxious and panic. He had heard about how ferocious Yorick was. If Fabian was related to Yorick, would it mean that he had court disaster to himself?

Fabian was not happy with the police’s question. “This is my personal matter, so what are you trying to do by asking me about unrelated matters?”

The look in the officers’ eyes changed. “Well then, Mr. Johnson. Please come back to the station with us to assist in the investigation.”

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2442

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 provoked someone he should not have.

Fabian and the police stopped at the same time.

“Mr. Martinez, what do you mean by that?” a policeman asked.

The man touched his red and swollen cheeks in pain, then glanced at Fabian cowardly. “I don’t want to sue him anymore. I’ll just treat what happened today as bad luck I’m still rushing to go to work, so that’s all for today.”

When he said that, the man turned around and wanted to flee.

“Wait, Mr. Martinez.” A policeman stopped the man and told him with a stern look, “Mr. Martinez, you made a report to the police just now and we’ve already lodged it If you just leave and decide to forget about it now, then you’ll be hindering the police from doing our jobs. You’ll be suspected of lodging a false report as well. If that’s the case, the police can counter-charge you. Are you sure you want to do this?”

After hearing that, the man was scared again.

“W-Well then, I’ll go to the police station with you.”

Hearing this, Fabian glanced at the uncertain man. A meaningful chuckle escaped his lips.

When the man saw the smile on Fabian’s face, he felt a little nervous.

After arriving at the police station, Fabian was taken to the interrogation room alone for questioning while the man waited in the lobby outside.

While waiting, he saw a policeman come out of the interrogation room. He was talking to other colleagues.

“Fabian has a lot of history. His brother is Yorick Johnson, the one who used to work for both the dark and lawful sides. It turns out the person who was brought into the interrogation room just now is Yorick’s younger brother.”

When the man heard this conversation, he felt even more nervous.

Yorick, who had connections in both the lawful and dark sides was a ruthless character in F Country at that time. As Yorick’s younger brother, Fabian should also have a lot of means up his sleeves. The man was really panicking now. He felt as if he had dug a grave for himself. He quickly got up and rushed in front of the two officers.

“Officers, can I take back my report? I don’t want to sue Fabian anymore! I fell by myself. It has nothing to do with him.”

The police immediately knew what he was afraid of. “Mr. Martinez, you don’t have to be so nervous. The police will take action according to the evidence. If Fabian really hit you, then we’ll punish him according to the law. It doesn’t matter who his siblings are. The law will still protect your lawful rights. Plus, you don’t have to worry too much. That Yorick person was executed a long time ago.”

“Yes, he’s dead, b-but this person is Yorick’s brother and I’ve offended him this time. I won’t be able to have a day of peace anymore. My son won’t be able to study in peace in the kindergarten either!”

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2443

The police frowned suspiciously. “Did Fabian hit your son?”

“It… 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 bully a little girl named Lillian Whitman? And did you verbally attack the little girl named Lillian?”

“Uhm, I…” the man stammered, his eyes darting around. “No! How could I, an adult, attack a child? It didn’t happen. That person is just speaking nonsense. His family members are not good people in the first place, so he’s definitely not a good person either. Officer, please don’tbe deceived by Johnson. I didn’t bully a little girl…”

As soon as the man finished speaking, a cry sounded from the entrance of the police station.

“Officer!” Julie went straight to the police officer who was handling the case. After introducing herself, she directly handed over the USB flash drive in her hand to him. “Officer, I think this will help you handle Mr. Johnson’s case.”

The policeman took the USB flash drive provided by Julie and asked his other colleagues to plug it in.

When Martinez saw this scene, he started sweating. He could probably guess what was in the USB flash drive. Sure enough, as he expected, the content on the drive was the surveillance footage at the time of the conflict. The details of the matter were all consistent with what Fabian said. On the contrary, Martinez was full of lies. The only thing he did not lie about was that Fabian really did hit him. Judging from the dialogue and actions displayed on the surveillance footage, this man was very hateful. Even so, Fabian did hit him, so they would still need to follow the legal proceedings for this matter.

It did not take long for Fabian’s lawyer to arrive. After learning about all the circumstances, the lawyer did not waste his breath and asked Martinez a question. He asked whether he wanted to turn this into something huge or whether he wanted to resolve this.

After Martinez knew about Fabian’s background, he had wanted to give up. Now that someone was giving him a way out, of course, he chose to resolve this. It was fine if he got into trouble, but he did not want to ruin his son’s future.

After Fabian came out of the interrogation room, to his surprise, he saw Julie. He finally knew why this was solved so smoothly after he heard from his lawyer. It was all thanks to the surveillance footage Julie provided.

Out of politeness and gratitude, Fabian politely extended an invitation to her. “Miss Charles, if you’re free tonight, I’d like to invite you to my house for a light meal. In addition to this, I also want to thank you for taking care of Lily on normal days. What do you think?”

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2444

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 almost done with work, the sky had already darkened a little.

When she picked up her phone and looked at it, she saw that Fabian had not sent her any messages. She was starting to feel depressed when her phone vibrated. Julie thought it was Fabian calling to ask if she was coming over, but it was just a call from home.

Julie picked up her bag and then took her time to answer her phone. “Mom, I won’t be home for dinner tonight. Don’t wait up for me.”

After she finished speaking, she hung up the phone and walked toward the entrance of the kindergarten.

The sky was getting darker, but the thought of going to Fabian’s house for dinner afterward brought a smile back to Julie’s face. She walked happily to the entrance and was about to hail a cab when a black car drove up and stopped in front of her.

Julie’s eyes widened in surprise as she looked closer. Her pupils reflected Fabian’s handsome and gentle face.

“Get in, Miss Charles”

“Mr. Johnson?” Julie was really surprised.

She would never have guessed that Fabian would be waiting for her at the kindergarten entrance after work. She felt her heartbeat getting faster as an indescribable joy overcame her.

Julie did not reject his offer and quickly got into the car before turning around to greet Lillian, who was sitting in the backseat. Lillian looked at Julie and smiled sweetly. She seemed like she was in a good mood, and her cute dimples by the corners of her mouth appeared.

Fabian then started the car. Julie sat quietly, maintaining her ladylike impression. She knew she had a little crush on Fabian, the man who seemed both warm and cool. It was really hard for her to resist him. Besides that, she also felt that Fabian was treating her well.

There was just one thing that Julie was curious about. She wondered what the relationship between Lillian and Fabian was. They did not seem to be related, but Fabian seemed to care a lot about Lillian and took good care of her to the point where they seemed closer than some families. Nevertheless, she knew she would have plenty of opportunities to ask about it during dinner that night.

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2445

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 had no involvement in Yorick’s businesses. Therefore, she did not have to worry about being friends with Fabian.

After Julie convinced herself, she smiled again.

When she walked into the foyer, the servant politely came over to greet her. “Young Master Fabian, Young Lady Lillian, welcome home. And you must be Miss Charles. Please, come in…”

Julie did not expect that Fabian would inform his servants that she would be coming. When she felt seen by him, her heart rejoiced.

“Thank you for inviting me,” Julie spoke in a soft voice and followed Fabian into the house.

“Oh, my… Young Master Fabian’s finally back. I heard that you were bringing an esteemed guest for dinner tonight. Is it a coincidence that I‘m here tonight?”

When Julie heard the man’s playful banter, she paused for a while and looked over before seeing a vaguely familiar handsome face. Evan looked at Julie at the same time and felt that she looked familiar but did not say anything.

“Miss Charles, this is my friend, Evan.”

Julie nodded, quickly smiled, and greeted him, “Hello. I‘m Lily’s homeroom teacher. My name is Julie.”

“Julie?” Evan repeated her name. “That’s a nice name.”

When Evan said that, he walked toward Fabian. “So, is this the beautiful and great woman you’ve been talking our ears off about?”

Julie had sharp ears, when she heard what Evan said, she could not help but blush.

“Nonsense. Miss Charles is our guest and she’s Lily’s teacher. Behave yourself.”

It was as if Fabian neither denied it nor confirmed it.

Julie’s heart started thumping wildly. To get her mind off that, she naturally went up to Lillian.

Lillian was quite fond of Teacher Julie. Although she did not speak, her body language showed that she liked Teacher Julie a lot

The servants had started preparing dinner before Fabian returned, so the food was almost ready.

Julie took Lillian to wash her hands before they came to the dining room. In the dining room, they saw Evan seated at the table but Fabian was nowhere to be seen.

”Fab’s in his room changing his clothes,” Evan suddenly said as if he saw through what she was thinking about.

Julie looked at Evan again. He seemed really familiar, but she just could not put her finger on where she had seen him before.

At that moment, Fabian came down after changing his clothes. He looked a little informal and relaxed with casual clothes, but that seemed to have made him look even more attractive to Julie.

The vibe during dinner was very good and the food was scrumptious. Everything was going well, but there was one thing that annoyed Julie.

Married by Mistake – 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. 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.

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2447

“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.

Evan shook his head. “Not really, but I’ve met her father twice and I’ve seen her at a business party previously.”

“Is that so?” Fabian asked casually. He did not seem interested in wanting to know more about Julie as he looked at Lillian and casually responded to what Evan said.

“Julie‘s father is a real estate tycoon in F Country. I’m sure you would’ve heard of him before. The Charles only has one precious daughter, and Mr. Charles has always hoped that his daughter would inherit his business. But Julie seems to be only interested in her current job. He wanted to give everything to her on a silver platter, yet the rich daughter didn’t want it. Instead, she took up the tireless and hard job as a kindergarten teacher. Well, I guess in some ways, that’s kind of noble of her?”

“Perhaps so, but if you look at it from another perspective, she’s only doing what she’s passionate about. That’s not exactly a noble virtue.” Fabian shot him down coldly.

Evan looked at Fabian’s complex look and sighed helplessly. “I have to say, Mr. Johnson, You are quite the unfeeling man.”

Evan subconsciously glanced in the direction that Julie had just left as though he was worried that Julie was going to hear what he was about to say.

As it happened, Julie came back in after her phone call the moment he turned his head. She had just taken two steps in from the foyer when she heard Evan.

“Fab, just because you’ve never dated before, are you so dense that you can’t even tell that someone is interested in you? Aren’t you worried that she’ll misunderstand this whole thing if you invite her to your place for dinner like this?”

When Julie heard what he said, she just stood in the same spot awkwardly.

It seemed that Fabian’s best friend could tell that she had a crush on Fabian.

Her ears got hot, and her heartbeat went wild again. She wanted to pretend that she had not heard anything and go back in, but she was looking forward to hearing what Fabian would say. She knew that Fabian might also have some feelings for her. Otherwise, why did he invite her to his house for dinner?

As she was thinking apprehensively, Julie finally heard Fabian’s reply.

“Yes, I’ve never dated anyone before but I’m not a fool. Of course, I know that she’s interested in me. That‘s why I made it a point to invite her here for this dinner tonight.”

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2448

When Evan heard what Fabian said, he frowned in confusion. On the other hand, Julie was there blushing, waiting with anticipation for what Fabian was going to say next. It was clear to her now. Fabian knew that she liked him and had deliberately invited her here for dinner with the knowledge of that.

As for what that meant? It was obvious.

Julie felt nervous, and her heart stirred like never before.

She pricked up her ears and continued to listen to what Fabian was going to say next eagerly. However, she never expected that Fabian’s subsequent words would end up extinguishing all her expectations and fantasies in an instant

“I invited her here so that I wouldn’t owe her any favors.”

Julie’s excited heart skipped a beat. ‘He did all this because he didn’t want to owe me any favors?’

She looked at Fabian in astonishment. She could not and did not want to imagine what Fabian would say next. To prevent that from happening, Julie adjusted the smile on her face.

”Mr. Johnson…” She walked over and interrupted Fabian and Evan’s conversation.

When Fabian heard her voice, he looked at Evan before looking at Julie.

“Miss Charles, are you done with your phone call?”

“Mhm. It was a call from home. My parents were wondering when I was coming horne.” Julie smiled faintly and sat by the side before extending her hand toward Lillian. “Lily, can you come over here? I’d like to tell you something.”

Lillian looked at Fabian, who understood what Lillian meant. He put her down. Lillian slowly walked up to Julie, who picked her up in a friendly and gentle manner before seating Lillian beside her.

Julie gently took Lillian’s hand and complimented, “Lily, you’re such a lovely and understanding child. I hope that you’ll grow up healthy and happy and that you’ll be able to speak one day.”

Lillian understood what Julie meant and she nodded to indicate that she acknowledged Julie’s words.

“Mr. Johnson, I hope this isn’t presumptuous of me, but what exactly is Lily’s relationship to you?”

“Lily is my friend’s child,” Fabian answered matter-of-factly and frankly. “And Lily’s staying with me for now because of her health.”

“I see…” Julie finally cleared the suspicions in her mind.

“So Lily doesn’t talk because…”

Toward the end of her sentence, Julie vaguely saw a subtle glint of light flash across Fabian’s eyes for a moment.

Fabian would never forget that the reason Lillian could not speak was because of his sister, Lana.

When Evan saw that Fabian was in a daze and became quiet, he spoke up and explained on behalf of Fabian, “It’s because Lily had a scare once and fell ill because of it. She got better after, but the only people Lily can talk to at the moment are her parents.”

After hearing Evan’s explanation, Julie’s eyes softened. She looked at Lillian with even more heartbroken eyes. “I see. It’s really unfortunate that such a thing happened to Lily. I hope things get better and she’ll get better soon.”

“Thank you for your well wishes,” Fabian returned the thanks. “By the way, there’s a question I’ve been meaning to ask you if it’s okay.”

Julie lifted her pretty eyes curiously to meet Fabian’s gaze. “What’s your question, Mr. Johnson?”

“Do you have a boyfriend?”

Julie was stunned by his question.

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2449

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, Julie and Evan then understood. Julie never expected this to be the reason why Fabian asked if she had a boyfriend.

Evan glanced at Fabian and noticed that he was looking at him meaningfully while smiling. He soon understood the meaning conveyed through Fabian’s gaze and smiled accommodatingly.

”Fab, seriously. Even if I were really interested in Miss Charles, you can’t be so direct. Aren’t you afraid that Miss Charles might feel embarrassed?”

Hearing that, Fabian had a sudden realization.”l’m sorry, Miss Charles. I just wanted you two to get to know each other. I didn‘t think too much of it.”

Julie’s fantasy was turned to dust the second time, but she still maintained a decent smile. “It’s alright, but I really didn’t know that you had such intentions. Is that why you also specially invited Mr. Evan for dinner here tonight?”

Fabian nodded. “Yes, I had specially asked Evan to come over.”

Julie did not know what to say. She initially thought that Fabian had specially invited her here for dinner, but the truth was…

“Miss Charles, you granted me a favor today. I wish to repay your kindness as soon as possible.”

“I… I understand your intentions. In fact, you don’t have to worry about it. I just did what a citizen should do. Not to mention, like you, I have no plans to date at present. Iwish to focus on my career,” Julie said this and stood up.

“Well, my mother called me just now asking me to come home early. I think it’s about time I take my leave. Thank you for your hospitality tonight.”

Julie obviously could not stay any longer. Since Fabian had made his intentions clear, she did not want to remain either.

“I’ll ask the driver to send you back. If you require any help in the future, come to me. I owe you a favor and will certainly pay it back.”

Julie could sense that Fabian really did not want to be indebted to anyone, so she stopped shirking it off. “Well, if I do need help in the future, I’ll be sure to look for you, Mr. Johnson. I’ll go first now. Goodbye. See you tomorrow, Lillian.”

Lillian raised her small hand and waved to Julie, waving goodbye.

Julie immediately left. After turning around, she could no longer keep the smile on her face.

After hearing the sound of the car as it drove away, Evan spoke freely without hiding, “I say, Young Master Fabian, you invited me to a seafood dinner tonight but it turns out it was to take advantage of me?”

Married by Mistake – Chapter 2450

Evan was very direct. He had never heat 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 these things need to be taught?” Fabian smiled meaningfully. “If the person you’re facing is a woman you like, then there are some things that you can only learn by yourself. There can’t be such dense men in the world, no?”

Listening to Fabian’s speech, Evan found it unexpected. Fabian was not wrong, there were no such dense men in this world. Love was an instinct.

After that night, Fabian still sent Lillian to school as usual, and Julie would also still inform him of Lillian’s performance in class. Fabian would thank Julie politely every time he read her message.

Julie could obviously notice that Fabian was being courteous because he was trying to maintain a distance from her. That was because only strangers would thank each other like this.

During lunch break that day, after Julie had taken videos of Lillian’s entire day and sent them to Fabian, she returned to her office with anticipation. She waited for Fabian’s reply. After a long time, however, Fabian still did not respond.

One of the female colleagues in the office saw the listless expression on Julie’s face and could not help poke her nose into things. “Julie, why do you look so distracted. Could it be that you and your boyfriend are arguing?”

Julie suddenly returned to her senses. She looked at her colleague in confusion. “Boyfriend? I don’t have a boyfriend. Why would you ask that?”

“I knew you wouldn‘t admit it.” Another young female colleague had also come over.

Julie was confused when she heard that. “I really don’t have a boyfriend.”

“You’re still denying it. We all saw you that night.” The look on Julie’s colleague was gossipy yet certain.

Julie was even more confused. “That night? Which night are you talking about?”

“We saw you get into Mr. Johnson’s car that night.”

“No wonder you’re taking so much care of Lillian, Julie. You and Mr. Johnson are dating!”

“Mr. Johnson is really handsome! When he came to go through the admission procedures for Lillian the last time, he was so gentle and polite. If I didn’t have a boyfriend, I would’ve fallen for him.”

“But our Julie is not bad at all, and your family background is pretty good. Whoever marries our Julie will be the one who’s blessed.”

The two female colleagues were going back and forth between themselves. Julie did not have the opportunity to interject and explain. When she heard all this, she suddenly did not want to explain anything at all.

Yes, the background of her family, the Charles, was one of the best in F Country. Her own qualifications were also excellent. She had always been surrounded by suitors ever since she was a child. Among the people who pursued her, there were many with family backgrounds that matched hers, and they also had outstanding looks. She had also thought about falling in love before, but in the end, she got bored after a few days.

When she met Fabian this time, however, she was completely attracted to his invisible charm. Fabian‘s patience and thoughtfulness toward Lillian had fascinated her.
