Chapter 2440

‘Um...’

Looking at Fabian's sullen eyes, the man immediately admitted defeat.

“You punk, this is all your fault! Hurry up and apologize to her!” the man scolded his son who was standing beside him and pushed his son in front of Lillian. “Hurry up and apologize!”

The man was scared, let alone the man’s son.

“I-I'm sorry, Lillian.” The man's son apologized tremblingly, not having the courage to look directly at Lillian.

Seeing this, the man immediately smiled flatteringly. “Look, my son has apologized. Are you satisfied?”

Fabian raised his eyes coldly. “Do you think this is enough? Do you think you’re not at fault at all?”

“Um...”

“Parents are the best teachers for children.

You, as his father, have an inescapable responsibility for how your son turned out.”

“...Yes, yes,” the man answered repeatedly. He did not dare to talk back to Fabian at all. “

You’re right. I, as the father, have a great responsibility.”

He submissively looked at Fabian with a smiling face that looked even uglier than a crying face. “Little girl, it’s my fault. I didn’t choose my words wisely. If I upset you with what I said, please don’t take it to heart. I'm sorry, little girl.”

After hearing the man's apology, Fabian's cold eyes glanced past the man. When he looked at Lillian’s little face, his gaze turned warm and bright.

“Lily, what do you think? Do you accept their apologies?” Fabian's soft tone at the moment was completely different from the previous one.

An envious look overflowed from Julie’s eyes uncontrollably.

She had never seen a guy being so loving and patient to a little child. This was something very rare.

Just as Fabian expected, Lillian nodded quickly.

She accepted the apologies.

She was a very sensible and obedient girl. If she was not provoked, how could she have flipped her lid?

When the father and son saw Lillian nodding, they breathed a sigh of relief.

“Well, since this little girl has accepted our apologies, this matter is settled. I still have something to do, so I’ll be heading out first. You brat, don't make trouble for me, or else I’ll spank you until you can’t sit down.” After the man viciously warned his son, he raised his head and smiled awkwardly at Fabian. He wanted to flee.

“Wait.”

Fabian stopped the man.

The man stopped in his tracks. He could not stop himself from breaking out in a cold sweat.

He turned his head and looked at Fabian with some trepidation. “What else can I help you with, sir?”

“Have you forgotten about your threats to Miss Charles just now?”

“Apologize to Miss Charles,” Fabian reminded the man.

The man was stunned for a moment, but in order to avoid being beaten again, he quickly apologized to Julie.

“Miss Charles, I'm so sorry. It's because of my poor discipline that my son—”

“It's okay, Mr. Martinez. You don’t have to apologize.”

“I should.” The man was afraid to cross Fabian again. After he apologized, he did not feel so flustered anymore.

When he saw that Fabian was not speaking, the man did not waste any time and fled quickly.

However, as soon as the man left, he clutched his face and ran to the nearest police station to report that someone had beaten him.

On the other hand, Fabian took Lillian's hand and sent her back to the classroom. The boy who made trouble did not dare to approach Lillian again, let alone touch her. 2
