Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman

chapter 2457

"She's right, Mr. Johnson. No matter what happens between a couple, one shouldn't go to such lengths to torment their other half. Julie is a great woman. She comes from a good family, and most importantly, Julie cares a lot about you, Mr. Johnson.

"The other day, when you were taken away by the police right outside the kindergarten, Julie hurriedly went into the monitoring room to ask the people in charge for a copy of the surveillance footage of your argument with the parent, she didn't even have time to ask for leave before she ran out to provide proof of your innocence, she even got reprimanded by the principal when she came back. Can't you see how much she cares about you?

"Mr. Johnson, that's all we have to say. You'd better not let down such a nice girl." After hearing what they had to say, Fabian understood what the two female teachers were trying to express. However, Fabian found it quite amusing.

Just as he was about to explain, Julie sprinted over in a panic.

"Miss Monet, Miss Lee, what are you and Mr. Johnson talking about?"

The two female teachers looked nervous when they saw Julie coming over. They became even more certain that Julie and Fabian were a couple in a lover's quarrel.

"It's nothing, Miss Charles. We'll head back now and leave you two to it. Between lovers, just say kind words to each other and it'll be over. Don't make such a huge fuss over things." (())

...

The two of them turned around and walked away before Julie even had the chance to ask what was going on.

However, Julie could sort of make sense of the situation based on the words they said before leaving.

Julie never thought that her colleagues would come and deal with Fabian themselves. Now that they were done, she was awkward from head to toe.

"I'm sorry. They must have misunderstood our relationship," Julie hurriedly apologized to Fabian.

Fabian smiled blandly. "It's okay, other people's misunderstandings don't matter to me. My job is to take good care of Lily. I don't care about anything else. <())

“Miss Charles, don't take it to heart. It's not a big deal to me either. Just clear the misunderstanding with your colleagues.

Mr. Johnson turned to leave as soon as he was done talking.

He expressed his intentions clearly and concisely. Although he said that it was no big deal, he still asked Julie to clear the misunderstanding about their relationship. The man who previously had a conflict with Fabian at the kindergarten had eavesdropped on the entire conversation.

He muttered to himself, "Pfft, no wonder this Julie woman is so concerned about this pretty boy named Johnson. They're having an affair!"

After the short break, each class carried out some fun mini-games. The kids had a good time too.

When it was over, the guardians accompanied the kids back the way they came from in a neat line.

Fabian sensed that Lillian was tired and carried her in his arms without thinking twice. Lillian exhaustedly leaned her little head on Fabian's shoulder. "Lily, are you tired?" Fabian asked concernedly.

Lillian nodded gently,

"So, did you have fun today?"

Lillian still nodded her head.

"As long as you're happy, that's all I can ask for," Fabian said softly.

As soon as he stopped talking, the sound of Lillian's rapid and shallow breathing caught his ears.

His heart inexplicably skipped a beat. "Lily, what's wrong? Are you sick?"
