Chapter 2455
At that moment, the tiramisu in her hands no longer smelled good to Julie.
She turned around to leave in discontent and saw other parents coming over with their
children to gift her exquisite snacks and refreshments. Julie kept a decent smile and
accepted the kind gestures of each and every one of the parents and students.
However, she was not in the mood to eat these at all.
After setting everything aside, she could not help but want to take another look at
Fabian.
However, she did not see Fabian after turning around this time. Instead, she saw the
beautiful single mother who was walking toward her with her son.
She brought her son along with her and walked up to Julie with a polite smile on her
elegant face.

weekdays. This is a snack I made myself this morning. I hope you like it.”
Julie glanced at what she handed over. It was a box of four mochi balls that looked very
appetizing.
Although Julie was not in the mood to accept it, she still showcased her signature smile.
“Why, how nice of you. Taking care of children is my job. There’s no need for you to give me things to show your
appreciation. As you can see, I already have so much here. I can’t possibly finish it all. It’s better if you share this
box of mochi balls with others. I have to go prepare for the next activity now, so please excuse me.”
Julie turned around after she was done talking. The young mother who got rejected did not think anything of it, but
the little boy felt down.
His teacher rejected their gift. Did she not like him?
The little boy listlessly followed his mother back to their seat. Fabian was confused when he saw the untouched
mochi balls in the woman’s hands.
“Miss Charles didn’t take it?”
“Too many people gave Miss Charles gifts as a token of appreciation. She said she can’t finish all of them and didn’t
want these to go to waste, so she rejected them,” the woman answered truthfully. After noticing her son’s long
face, she comforted him. “ Silly boy, don’t be upset, Miss Charles just doesn’t want the snacks I made to go to
waste. Why don’t you do what Miss Charles said and share these mochi balls with your friends? That’ll make this
box of mochi balls even more meaningful.”
After hearing those words, the little boy’s eyes instantly lit up,
“Okay!” The little guy nodded as he picked up the box of mochi balls and walked toward the other kids.
Lillian glanced at Fabian and happily followed along to deliver the mochi balls.
Fabian relaxed as he watched Lillian’s tiny figure tenderly.
A few moments later, the two children came back happily one after the other. As they were about to sit down, they
heard Julie calling everyone to gather around.
The first round of activities was hiking up a fairly easy trail along with their guardians.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmClimbing up a mountain trail was a must during outings.
Not to mention, it could help train the kids’ fitness and stamina.
Fabian took Lillian’s health condition into account and had looked up the trail before
coming. The trail was not rugged at all. There were flowers, plants, and even streams
with small pink flowers flowing in its clear water. The environment looked nice, so
going on a walk here would not be a bad idea.
Even if Lillian could not walk anymore, he could still carry her.
After he made up his mind, Fabian carried Lillian’s small school bag and joined the
hiking team in an orderly manner.
Julie intentionally walked close to Lillian and talked to the kids around her from time to
time. That way, she could talk to Lillian naturally without others finding it odd.
She was also doing this in hopes that Fabian would talk to her, but throughout the
entire journey, he only talked to Lillian and took no notice of Julie. 2
This caused Julie’s confidence to suffer a huge blow. Eventually, she could not help but
speak to Fabian.
