Chapter 2469
Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
âI'll drink it. Go do your homework.â
âI'll do my homework, but I want to tell you something first.â Lillian's expression suddenly became serious.
Fabian put down the glass, his heart pounding hard against his chest.
He was afraid to hear Lillian would say something he did not want to hear.
âWhat do you want to tell me?â
âIt's about that love letter.â Lillian went straight to the point.
Fabian's heart skipped a beat again. âWhat do you want to say?â
Lillian frowned, her big glass-like eyes staring straight at Fabian.
âFab, Iâve always remembered what you said. You said that I can't fall in love early and I have to study hard. I remember it all.â
Fabian was stunned when he heard that. He did not remember telling her that.
âFab, I did all of that, but I'm an adult now.â
Upon hearing this, Fabian seemed to already know what Lillian was going to say next.
This girl wanted to express that she had reached the age where she could fall in love and that she had someone she liked, which was why she accepted the love letter.
Fabian felt something tugging at his thoughts, and for a while, he lost his sanity and calmness.
âOkay, stop talking. I got it.â
âNo, I have to tell you this because you donât know.â Lillian insisted stubbornly.
Fabian did not want to hear it, but his endless love for Lillian made him unable to refuse this girl's wayward and stubborn personality.
âFab, you must have thought that I accepted the love letter and thatâs why I put it in my schoolbag. Actually, it's not what you think. I was going to return the love letter to the boy next week when I went to school, so thatâs why I put it in my bag.â
When he heard this, Fabian's dull heartbeat seemed to gradually regain its original beating frequency.
He looked at Lillian suspiciously, and a ray of light gradually appeared in his deep pupils.
âAre you going to reject the boy who sent you the love letter?â
âThatâs right.â Lillian smiled. âI want to tell him that I already have someone I like, so I canât accept any other boys.â
Fabianâs heartbeat had just regained its usual momentum when it was disrupted again.
âYou already have someone you like? When did that happen? who is it?â Fabian asked hurriedly. He could not control his emotions anymore at this moment.
When she was facing the panicking Fabian, Lillian looked at him with a soft smile and said.
âI donât know when it started, but I believe that this person has always been in my heart for a very long time. Itâs been so many years and this person has continued to be by my side.
Heâs the most reliable person in my heart, and heâs also the guy I love the most.â
As she said that, her gaze on Fabian grew deeper and deeper.
Meanwhile, Fabian seemed to understand something from Lillianâs eyes.
âFab, do you know who I like?â She smiled sweetly. There was only one person who fit her description.
âFab, I like you...
âItâs you...
âYou...â
Lillianâs final answer lingered in Fabianâs ears memorably and stayed even after some time.
At this moment, the familiar sound of his alarm clock rang out. Fabian suddenly opened his eyes. He was completely awake now.
As he looked at the sunset outside the French windows, he realized it was just a dream.
The scene and images in his dream were all imaginations and hopes from his subconscious.
Fabian looked at the time. He prepared himself to go pick Lillian up from kindergarten.
When he turned around, he saw the photo frame on his desk. It was a photo of him and Lillian. However, the little girl in the photo was still an ignorant and naive little doll.
Fabian smiled in relief and quickly headed to the kindergarten to pick Lillian up.
