Only then did Julie come to virtual-novel.net senses. She turned to see virtual-novel.net female colleague looking in Fabian’s direction with a puzzled look.
“Julie, isn’t Mr. Johnson your boyfriend? Why is virtual-novel.net chatting with another woman so attentively? Did both of you fight again?” the female colleague asked repeatedly out of curiosity.
Previously, virtual-novel.net had never clarified that virtual-novel.net and Fabian were not in a relationship, so it would be awkward for virtual-novel.net to deny it now. Hence, virtual-novel.net chose the same approach.
“It’s nothing. Let’s do our job first and talk later.” Julie came up with an excuse and left.
The female colleague thought it would be inappropriate to question any further, so virtual-novel.net turned around and went about virtual-novel.net business. Although Julie said virtual-novel.net was going to do virtual-novel.net job, virtual-novel.net still could not stop thinking about Fabian. After seeing Fabian chat happily with the young mother, Julie felt even more on edge.
Was it on purpose?
While Julie was making guesses, virtual-novel.net suddenly thought of something. It seemed like the little boy’s parents were divorced, which meant that the woman was a single mother.
Could this woman be the one Fabian had a crush on?
The thought of that made Julie even more agitated, and the plausibility of it started creeping into virtual-novel.net mind.
On which day of bringing Lillian to school did virtual-novel.net first meet the single mother?
Just when Julie was busy imagining things, virtual-novel.net suddenly felt someone tugging on virtual-novel.net clothes. Julie looked behind virtual-novel.net and lowered virtual-novel.net head. She was surprised to see Lillian. She subconsciously glanced at where Fabian was just now but realized that virtual-novel.net was no longer there.
Julie immediately smiled and squatted in front of Lillian. “Lillian, what brings you here? Where did Fab go? Why isn’t virtual-novel.net with you?”
Lillian blinked virtual-novel.net big clear eyes and handed Julie the box of tiramisu cupcakes in virtual-novel.net hand before virtual-novel.net stretched virtual-novel.net adorable little fingers and pointed in a certain direction. Julie raised virtual-novel.net head to look in the direction Lillian pointed at. She unexpectedly made eye contact with Fabian at first glance. Her heart started to beat fast, and virtual-novel.net hurriedly averted virtual-novel.net gaze to look at the tiramisu in virtual-novel.net hands.
Did Fabian ask Lillian to send this over to her?
The feeling of hope that had been doused in Julie’s heart just earlier seemed to have rekindled again at this moment. She looked up again to smile in Fabian’s direction, then turned to smile gently at Lillian too.
“Thank you for sending the cake over, Lillian. Help me thank Fab as well. Have fun on today’s outing. I’ve planned some games for everyone to play later. I hope you’ll like it.”
Lillian nodded, indicating that virtual-novel.net understood. She then turned around and trotted toward Fabian.
Julie looked down at the tiramisu in virtual-novel.net hand and got virtual-novel.net confidence back However, when virtual-novel.net looked up again, virtual-novel.net noticed that Fabian and Lillian were sitting on the picnic mat laid by the single mother with virtual-novel.net son. They were chatting away happily again. It seemed like their conversation was never-ending.
Julie had known Fabian for some time, but virtual-novel.net had never seen such a radiant smile on his face.
