Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman novel Chapter 2036

However, the two girls were somewhat reluctant as they looked at Fabian and lingered for a while before leaving.

The room quieted down quickly and the door with a soundproofing effect blocked all kinds of laughter and voices outside.

Evan turned on the lights, which immediately basked the room in warm light.

Evan only then noticed the gloominess on Fabian’s, and Evan’s expression, too, turned serious.

“Fab, did something serious happen? I heard you were looking for Carter. What is your relationship with him?”

Fabian sat down on the sofa and then distraughtly picked up a clean glass, poured himself a glass of red wine, and drank it.

“He abducted Lily.”

Evan’s eyes widened when he heard this. “… What?”

At this moment, Madeline was entering the bar from outside.

In fact, she had been following Fabian all the time.

When Fabian had been looking for Carter along the way, she followed him and finally arrived at the vicinity of the bar.

Unfortunately, she had spent too much time looking for parking. She had seen Fabian entering this bar, but she did not know where he was.

Knowing that Fabian would not answer her  calls, she could only find him on her own.

After Madeline had entered the bar, one after another, men flirted with her. She rejected all of them in annoyance, and she still had to look for Fabian in the crowd, but she did not find anything.

Madeline scanned the booths, bar, and dance floor, but she still did not see Fabian. All that was left presently were the private rooms.

Madeline could not think of another way. Although it would be very rude, she could only bite the bullet and search one by one…  

In the private room, Evan was shocked after he heard what Fabian told him.

“ It turns out that Carter and you have this kind of relationship. Could it be that you have such a strong resentment towards Lily’s parents because Carter instigated this behind the scenes?”

“I knew they were handling some illegal business, but I never stopped them. I watched as they walked toward the abyss and then to their deaths…”

Fabian closed his eyes as he blamed himself. When he opened his eyes again, his eyes were red.

“If I had been slightly more sensible, they wouldn’t have ended up like this, but I didn’t do anything.”

Fabian blamed himself in regret.

When Evan heard that, he felt slightly sad as well.

In fact, Fabian was not the one to blame too. Since he had not been fully mature at that time, so he would not have known much. Furthermore, Yorick had not let him know that, so it could be said that he protected Fabian very well, and because of this, Fabian was unaffected by the huge changes that came after.

Evan lifted his hand to pat Fabian on the shoulder.

“Fab, don’t think too much. How would your brother and sister blame you? They’d just hope that you stay innocent and righteous. That’s why they hid it from you. So, you don’t need to blame yourself.”

Just as Evan comforted Fabian, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open.
