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?" 1

"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."
