CEO's Dumb Bride

Chapter 72 Brought Fabiana Home

Chapter 72 Brought Fabiana Home

She stubbornly handed the phone to Fabiana who tried to decline but eventually accepted it with hesitation.

Tears welled up in Fabiana's eyes. "I never expected that you would be the one accompanying me in the end."

Lilian's nose twitched for no reason as she held Fabiana's hand, sensing a connection between two people who had experienced the same loneliness of being cast aside.

She never would have imagined that she would be sitting next to an elderly person when no one supported her.

Although Fabiana was almost a century older than her, they shared the same sense of solitude.

It turned out that human loneliness was universal.

Lilian looked around. Although there was a waterproof film outside the shed, the dampness still seeped in, leaving the bedding damp.

It was hard to imagine how this old woman had managed to live in such conditions for so long.

Lilian's heart ached. She got up and bid farewell to Fabiana before going to the roadside to hail a taxi.

Once she got in the car, she sent a message to Francis before calling him.

Francis was in a meeting, but when he saw her calling, he immediately raised his hand to interrupt the speaker and hung up the phone.

He opened WhatsApp and saw the message from Lilian.

Lilian mentioned that she wanted to bring a maid back. Francis stared at the messages and fell silent.

Over the years, Lilian had never asked him for anything, so this was the first time.

Naturally, Francis didn't refuse. He replied with just four words, "It's up to you."

When Lilian saw his reply, she was somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected him to respond so quickly, let alone agree.

Francis didn't keep idle people around, so the only reason she could bring Fabiana back was to use Fabiana as a maid. Anyway, Francis wouldn't come back.

With that in mind, Lilian quickly tapped the driver's shoulder and showed him her phone.

The driver understood and turned the car around.

Lilian happily ran back to find Fabiana, gesturing with a kind smile, "Fabiana, Frank agreed to let you come to our house."

Fabiana's expression momentarily flickered in confusion. She had only met Lilian twice, but she had never seen Lilian so happy before.

"Is that... okay?" Fabiana hesitated.

Lilian shook her head and gestured, "It's not the Landau Residence. It's... where Francis and I live."

Fabiana looked surprised. "You two..."

Lilian nodded and added the second half of Fabiana's sentence herself, "We got married."

Fabiana's smile turned relieved. "I knew you would be together. Young Master has always treated you differently since you were young. He really likes you."

Lilian's smile faded slightly, but she forced herself to maintain it.

He did like her, just like he liked cats and dogs.

When she visited Fabiana, Fabiana liked her. When she was Courtney's model, Courtney liked her as well.

One could like many people, but love could only be given to one person.

Fabiana sensed the loneliness on Lilian's face and changed the subject. "But Lily, I'm already so old. I shouldn't trouble you anymore."

Lilian waved her hand and gestured, "Frank wants you to go back and continue taking care of him."

Fabiana was taken aback. "Really?"

She might have trouble with her legs, but she could still handle daily household chores. She just didn't expect that Francis would still care about her. This reminded her of her biological son, and her eyes welled up with tears again.

Lilian nodded. She had lied to Fabiana and Francis, but seeing the tears in Fabiana's eyes made it all worth it.

One only felt that life was meaningful when they were needed.
