When Evan heard what Fabian said, favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com now. Fabian knew that favonovel.com liked favonovel.com and had deliberately invited favonovel.com here for dinner with the knowledge of that.
As for what that meant? It was obvious.
Julie felt nervous, and favonovel.com heart stirred like never before.
She pricked up favonovel.com ears and continued to listen to what Fabian was going to say next eagerly. However, favonovel.com never expected that Fabian’s subsequent words would end up extinguishing all favonovel.com expectations and fantasies in an instant
“I invited favonovel.com here so that I wouldn’t owe favonovel.com any favors.”
Julie’s excited heart skipped a beat. ‘He did all this because favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com face.
”Mr. Johnson…” She walked over and interrupted Fabian and Evan’s conversation.
When Fabian heard favonovel.com voice, favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com down. Lillian slowly walked up to Julie, who picked favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com nodded to indicate that favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com health.”
“I see…” Julie finally cleared the suspicions in favonovel.com mind.
“So Lily doesn’t talk because…”
Toward the end of favonovel.com 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, favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com 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 favonovel.com 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.
