Madeline Crawford and Jeremy Whitman
Chapter 2028

Although Lilian was still young, she could sense Shirley's kindness and friendliness toward her.

Shirley had difficulty moving around, but she was still very considerate in taking Lillian to the bathroom and helping her take a simple shower.

Since there were no clothes for Lillian to change into, Shirley had to let Lillian wear back the clothes she was wearing before.

She led Lillian to the bedroom, but Carter suddenly appeared and stopped them at the door.

"Shirley, what are you doing?"

Carter asked in a cold tone, lowering his eyes to Lillian.

"I didn't bring this little thing over so that you can take care of her."

Shirley looked at Carter indifferently. "Carter, you must keep your word. Since you said that as long as I obey you, you won't hurt this child, so be a man of your words."

"I haven't forgotten what I promised you, but that doesn't mean you have to serve her, bathe her, and tuck her into bed."

"I'm happy to do so," Shirley replied without hesitation. She then turned her head and stretched out her hand to Lillian. "Lily, come into the room with me. Shall we sleep together tonight?" Lillian glanced at the icy Carter and turned her head to cast her clear gaze on Shirley's friendly and smiling face.

She nodded and agreed obediently.

Shirley smiled in turn, then gently held Lillian's little hand and slowly entered the room.

Carter's head as he watched Shirley's actions, and he felt very pissed off in his heart.

He suddenly regretted agreeing with Shirley's condition.

His plan had been so flawless. Didn't he steal Lillian from Fabian just so he could seek revenge on Jeremy? However, what was this?

He came to the balcony feeling irritated. He then lit a cigarette and started smoking.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at the lonely night view. Suddenly, he started chuckling at himself.

Carter Gray had been the noble Viscount of St. Piaf, but now he was reduced to this.

There was no one around him whom he could trust. How and why did this happen?

"Shirley, do you really think I brought you to F Country just so I can abduct Jeremy's daughter to seek revenge against him? You're wrong."

Carter smiled coldly and put out his cigarette.

When he was about to walk back to the room, his phone vibrated.

Upon seeing the caller ID, he did not hesitate to answer it.

"Is there any good news?" he asked the person on the other end of the phone urgently.

Coincidentally, Shirley, who came out of the bedroom to drink water, suddenly heard this coming from the balcony.

She slowly approached the balcony to listen more closely, and then she heard Carter mentioning the name Evan. After that, Shirley heard Carter's firm and overbearing request.

"Now, contact this person for me. I want to see him and talk to him. You can tell him that money isn't a problem."

Shirley felt that something was not right. As she wondered whether to ask Carter directly to see what was going on, Carter hung up the phone and walked in. Their eyes then met at this moment.
