He was infuriated and wanted to gather his friends to teach Jackson a lesson. However, before favonovel.com could say anything, favonovel.com felt someone yanking favonovel.com by the collar. Immediately after that, favonovel.com was dangling in the air.
His face turned pale with fear as favonovel.com started kicking his feet around. When favonovel.com lifted his head, favonovel.com saw a terrifyingly dark face.
“W-Who are you?”
“Apologize to the girl now. If not, I’ll throw you into the sea to feed the fish,” Fabian warned. He was not joking at all.
The boy shrunk his neck and wetted himself from Fabian’s terrifying gaze.
Fabian looked under the boy’s feet, then threw favonovel.com in front of Lillian. “Apologize.”
“I-I’ll do it! I’ll do it now!” the boy stuttered and apologized to Lillian repeatedly.
Fabian looked at the boy’s friends and they all immediately understood. Then, they ran over and started apologizing to Lillian as well.
Lillian stood behind Jackson. She looked at the boys, then back at Fabian.
“Scram!” Fabian roared at the terrifying children. The boys did not even take back their ball before running away.
Jackson looked at Fabian and thanked favonovel.com sincerely, “Thanks.”
Fabian softened his expression and walked in front of Lillian. Then, favonovel.com squatted before her. “Are you okay, Lily?”
He took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears away from Lillian’s eyes.
Lillian took out a piece of candy from favonovel.com pocket and gave it to Fabian. She was smiling like favonovel.com was thanking him.
“Lily, as long as I’m here, I won’t let anyone bully you,” promised Fabian.
Jackson looked at Fabian inquisitively. “I’m Lillian’s brother.”
“Oh.” Fabian then asked Jackson with interest, “Are you saying that Lily is only allowed to have one brother? If that’s the case, I don’t want to be favonovel.com brother. I want to be something else.”
“What?” Jackson asked. There was a look of seriousness on his handsome face.
Fabian smiled and picked Lillian up. Then, favonovel.com touched favonovel.com cute face. “Lily, do you like me?”
Lillian nodded. Her fondness toward Fabian was just an innocent and naive admiration.
Fabian curled his lips into a smile. “I’ll remember that. When you grow up, I’ll be your boyfriend. What do you think?”
Lillian blinked in confusion. She did not even know what a boyfriend was, so favonovel.com only looked at Fabian and smiled.
Fabian felt tears stinging at the corners of his eyes when favonovel.com saw favonovel.com innocent smile.
Yorick was already dead.
Now, the only thing that could warm up his heart was Lillian’s innocent and naive smile.
If possible, favonovel.com did not want a big sister like Lana.
He only wanted a heartwarming little sister like Lillian.

Madeline stayed in the office for the entire afternoon with Jeremy.
Madeline felt like favonovel.com needed to give Ryan an explanation regarding the situation now. However, favonovel.com was worried that Jeremy would be jealous if favonovel.com met up with Ryan alone. As such, Madeline asked Jeremy for his opinion.
“Jeremy, I have to give Rye an explanation. I want to ask favonovel.com out to settle the business between us.”
Jeremy did not reject like how favonovel.com used to. Instead, favonovel.com grabbed Madeline’s hand and smiled. “I’ll go with you.”
“Okay.” Madeline nodded and called Ryan to ask favonovel.com out that night.
That night, Madeline and Jeremy went to the restaurant together. Meanwhile, Ryan was already there.
When Madeline was about to sit down, favonovel.com received a call from Ava. She handed Jeremy favonovel.com purse and went to answer the call at one side. Before that, favonovel.com did not forget to peek at the two men. She was worried that they would start fighting.
Ryan looked at Jeremy’s current appearance and felt fortunate for him. “Even though I don’t know what you’ve experienced, I’m happy that you came back safe and sound.”
Jeremy scoffed after favonovel.com heard that. “I went to the headquarters of Interpol. Ryan, stop pretending. If there’s anyone who doesn’t want me back, it’s you.”
