Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman

Chapter 2456

“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 speak again.

“Plus, Lily likes you a lot. This morning, she even asked the home chef to make tiramisu to give

to you. Miss Charles, did you not see it? There’s a card inside the cake box with Lily’s own

writing on it.”

Julie’s legs suddenly felt weak.

It turned out that the tiramisu had nothing to do with Fabian. It was just Lillian’s token of

appreciation.

It was all just her imagination, after all.

A surge of loneliness overwhelmed her heart as she could not help but slow down her footsteps,

when she came back to her senses, she realized that Fabian and Lillian were already way ahead

of her.

When they were almost at the halfway mark, many of them sat down near the pavilion to rest,

eat, and drink to replenish their energy.

Julie saw Fabian and the beautiful single mother sitting next to each other again. They talked

and laughed while taking care of their little ones. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

Julie had lost her appetite, she took two sips of water and sat alone on a rock.

The two female colleagues beside her noticed and could probably guess what was going on.

After having a little discussion, they walked toward Fabian.

Fabian was feeding Lillian snacks when he noticed someone walking toward him. He looked up

and saw the two teachers from other classes.

The two female teachers walked up to Fabian and unintentionally glanced at the young single

mother.

“Mr. Johnson, can we have a word with you?

“Mr. Johnson, we’re Julie’s colleagues. There are some things we want to consult you about. We

won’t take up too much of your time.” 1

After hearing their words, Fabian gently patted Lillian’s head. “Lily, be good and eat your food. I’ll

be right back.”

“Don’t worry, Mr. Johnson. I’ll watch over Lily.” The single mother politely expressed that she

would take care of Lily.

Fabian was rest assured and followed the two female teachers to the side.

“May I ask what is it that the two of you want to consult me about?” Fabian asked straight to the

point.

The two female teachers looked at each other and put on straight faces.

“Mr. Johnson, although we’re not in a position to comment on your relationship with Julie, nor do

we know what happened between the two of you, arguments aside, Julie would be very upset to

see you talk and laugh with someone of the opposite gender while you give her the cold

shoulder.”

A female teacher spoke while deliberately glancing over at the single mother.
