Married by Mistake: Mr. Whitman’s Sinner Wife novel Chapter 1699

Chapter 1699

When the class teacher saw that Lillian had stopped, she curiously looked at the man standing outside the gate. She then bent down and gently asked Lillian, “Lily, do you know that man? If you do, nod your head. If you don’t, you can shake your head to tell me.”

After the class teacher had spoken, Lillian neither shook nor nodded her head for more than ten seconds.

The class teacher found this to be a little peculiar. She knew that while Lillian could not speak, she could understand simple sentences.

She glanced at the man outside the gate and let go of Lillian’s hand before walking over.

“What’s your name, sir? You’d said that you’re Lillian’s family, but it seems that she doesn’t know you.” The class teacher voiced her concern.

“My last name is Johnson,” the man replied. He looked toward Lillian, who remained unmoving, and slowly took out a piece of candy from his pocket.

Lillian seemed to be roused by the candy. She blinked her vivid, clear, and large eyes, then put her small hand into her pocket and took out a similar-looking candy.

When the man outside the gate saw the piece of candy in that small hand, a smile appeared on his handsome face.

“Long time no see, Lily,” Fabian said in a soft voice as he reached out his hand to Lillian.

Lillian gazed into Fabian’s eyes, gleaming with a warm smile, before taking a few steps forward slowly.

As the class teacher watched this transpiring, she asked again, concerned, “Lily, do you actually know this man?”

Lily, no longer silent, nodded seriously.

She walked up to Fabian and waved her small hand.

Fabian understood. He squatted in front of Lillia, smiling.

Lillian’s clear, large eyes gleamed radiantly as she reached out her fair little hands to hold Fabian’s palm. She then placed the candy which she had been keeping properly all this time into Fabian’s palm, gesturing to the man to hold it tightly.

Fabian’s eyes glinted, feeling touched in the softest spot in his heart.

The softness, however, quickly hardened for some reason.

The class teacher was about to hand Fabian the phone upon hearing that, but when she lifted her gaze, she saw that Fabian, Lilian on his arm, was already walking across the zebra crossing.

“Mrs. Whitman, your friend had already left with Lily.”

These words somehow made Madeline begin to feel apprehensive.

Jeremy, who was just beside her, could tell that Madeline was worried, so he immediately comforted her. “Linnie, don’t worry. Fabian won’t hurt Lily.”

Even so, Madeline was still concerned.

“He’s still not picking up his phone.”

Madeline started to feel increasingly uneasy. Their numbers had been blocked, so she had deliberately changed to a new number, yet Fabian still did not pick up her calls.

She was having misgivings about this. ‘What on earth happened? Why was Fabian suddenly treating them like strangers?’
