chapter 2472
“I did,” Fabian admitted frankly.
Julie thought she would feel embarrassed because of this, but she did not know
why she still felt very relaxed. Even so, she still felt a little embarrassed.
In order to not make Julie feel embarrassed, Fabian smiled and said, “I wanted to
help you get out of that situation, Miss Charles, but I didn't want to cross the
line. I also didn’t expect someone to have taken a video and put it on the
internet. Lily and I have caused you much trouble. I'm really sorry about that.”
Fabian paused as he spoke, then, he glanced at Lillian softly.
“But Miss Charles, rest assured, there’ll be no such trouble in the future.”
Julie was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, and she inexplicably
felt a strong sense of loss coming up from the bottom of her heart.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe looked at Fabian suspiciously, and sure enough, the words she heard next
made her feel remorseful.
“Miss Charles, I’ve found a more suitable school for Lily, and it’s closer to where I work so that it’ll be much easier
for me to commute to and from work to pick up Lily.”
After listening to Fabian's words, Julie felt very upset.
“Mr. Johnson, did you decide to change Lily's school in order to avoid what happened in the past from happening
again?”
Fabian nodded, not denying it.
“It'll be good for you and US.” Fabian glanced at Lillian when he said ‘us’.
Julie seemed to understand something for a moment. At the same time, she finally understood that it had always
been her own wishful thinking.
In Fabian's eyes, she was just an outsider.
“Mr. Johnson, you’ve made the right decision.” Julie agreed and smiled with relief. “ I’m so sorry about what
happened just now. What my mother and my mother's friend said about you was really inappropriate.”
Fabian said without hesitation, “It doesn't matter. I’ve never cared about what outsiders think of me.”
In fact, Julie had long felt Fabian's open- minded attitude. Now, she felt that she should face everything openly.
“Mr. Johnson, since you heard it just now, I might as well admit that I’m very fond of you, especially when I see you
taking care of Lily so meticulously. Your thoughtfulness and patience are what attracted me the most.” Julie voiced
the secret in her heart.
“But this is just my one-sided appreciation and fondness for you. It has nothing to do with you, Mr. Johnson, so I
hope you won’t take the trouble and harsh remarks made at you to heart. I'm really sorry.”
“I feel sorry as well.” Fabian also apologized. “ I actually had ulterior motives for inviting you to be a guest at my
house before.”
Upon hearing this, Julie was stunned for two seconds. Soon, she seemed to understand something.
“I understand.” she smiled lightly. “Mr. Johnson, you must’ve felt that I had
taken a fancy to you, so you deliberately invited me to be a guest at your house
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmand also called your friend over to pretend to match me with him. You wanted
me to understand that you had no feelings for me and hoped I could withdraw
myself from the awkward situation.” 1 Now that they were talking about this,
everything was crystal clear.
Fabian did not nod or deny it. However, the answer was already evident.
“Sigh...”
Julie let out a long sigh, seemingly troubled and annoyed. However, her face
was filled with a relieved smile.
“It's a pity. It's rare for me to meet a man who I think is excellent in all aspects. I
thought that as the daughter of a dignified entrepreneur, I’d definitely win you
over, but I didn't think that I couldn’t even pique your interest at all.”
Julie seemed to laugh at herself, then she said seriously.
“To be honest, I really admire you, Mr. Johnson. But I know better. A relationship
can’t be forced. This is the most precious part of a relationship.”
When he heard Julie say that, Fabian suddenly felt the burden in his heart
disappear in an instant.
