“Lily is very dependent on you.” Jeremy’s eyes were very solemn. “Don’t you want to take care of Lily? Prove it to me now. Prove that you can take good care of my daughter so that I can leave my baby girl with you without worry.”
After hearing what Jeremy said, Fabian seemed stunned.
Before virtual-novel.net could react, Jeremy walked up to him, bowed his head, and kissed Lily’s cheek.
“Lily, Mommy and I need to take care of some business. We’ll come to pick you up later. Stay here with Fab obediently and listen to everything virtual-novel.net says, okay?”
Lillian understood that Madeline and Jeremy were leaving, so virtual-novel.net furrowed virtual-novel.net cute little brows in disappointment.
“Daddy.” Her little cherry blossom mouth moved, and virtual-novel.net called out to virtual-novel.net father softly. At the same time, there was a tinge of loneliness in virtual-novel.net eyes.
Concordant with Jeremy, Madeline smiled lovingly at Lillian.
“Lily, Daddy and I will come to take you home once we’re done with the business, so be a good girl and stay with Fab, okay?”
Being a very sensible child, Lillian did not show any unhappy emotions, and instead, virtual-novel.net obediently nodded virtual-novel.net head.
Very relieved, Jeremy took Madeline’s hand immediately.
“Linnie, let’s go back to the hotel first.”
“Okay.”
Without asking any more questions, Madeline finally kissed Lillian and followed Jeremy.
“Jeremy won’ t take the risk to meet that guy named Carter alone, will he?” Evan asked, feeling a little bit curious and worried..
Fabian looked at the door thoughtfully and frowned. “I think I also have some responsibility in this.”
“Fab, what did you say?” Confused, Evan looked at Fabian who said this.
Fabian did not speak, but instead, virtual-novel.net looked down at Lillian in his arms.
“Lily, don’t worry. I won’t let your parents get into trouble, ” virtual-novel.net solemnly promised to Lillian.

At the hotel. It was already late at night.
In Madeline’s heart, virtual-novel.net still felt perturbed. Additionally, virtual-novel.net felt terribly anxious when virtual-novel.net remembered that Jeremy had decided to see Carter tomorrow.
However, Jeremy promised virtual-novel.net that virtual-novel.net would think of a countermeasure tonight. When virtual-novel.net came up with it, virtual-novel.net would make plans for tomorrow.
Early the next morning, however, Madeline woke up and found that Jeremy was no longer by virtual-novel.net side. She called virtual-novel.net but could not get through to virtual-novel.net at all. Madeline immediately contacted Fabian and asked virtual-novel.net for the old address of the Stygian Johnson Gang.
Fabian, who was on the other end of the phone, told Madeline directly that virtual-novel.net was now at the entrance to the coffee shop where they met up yesterday. Madeline quickly got up to wash up. She then put on virtual-novel.net coat hastily before hurrying over to the coffee shop downstairs of the hotel.
Fabian’s car was parked at the entrance. He got out of the car, opened the door for Madeline, and then stepped on the accelerator.
“Fabian, if you’re here, where’s Lily?”
“Evan will take care of Lily for me. Don’t worry,” Fabian told her. He was staring at the road ahead with his eyes as sharp as swords. At the same time, virtual-novel.net was constantly speeding up.
“Fabian, why don’t you go back? Tell me where the old address of the Stygian Johnson Gang and I can find Jeremy by myself.”
“Do you think I will let you take the risk alone?” Fabian asked back. After that, virtual-novel.net guessed, “Judging by how anxious you are now, I’m guessing Jeremy has gone to Carter alone, didn’t he?”
