Shirley was smart, and she almost immediately saw that Carter was following the silver car in front.
Shirley was curious about who the person in that car was and why would Carter follow them every day for so many days. However, she could not think of an answer even after racking her brain.
Before long, Fabian and Carter’s cars stopped one after another.
Shirley lowered the window and saw Fabian getting out of the car holding Lillian.
She did not know Fabian and Lillian, but she felt that the little girl Fabian was holding in his arms looked a little familiar.
‘Who are they? Why is Carter stalking them?’
Shirley was curious, and at this moment, she saw Carter getting out of the car.
Dressed entirely in black, Carter exuded a mysterious, cold aura.
Shirley watched Carter entering the dessert shop. From this second on, Shirley felt very anxious as if she was sitting on pins and needles.
She kept feeling like something was about to happen. As she expected, the moment she was feeling worried, Carter ran out of the dessert shop.
What shocked Shirley the most was that the little girl Shirley had seen a moment ago was in Carter’s arms—and the girl was Lillian!
Dumbfounded, Shirley stared at what Carter was doing in disbelief.
‘Had he been following that car just to abduct that little girl?
‘But who was that little girl?’
During her moment of shock, Shirley saw Carter quickly starting the car to drive away.
At that moment, Fabian quickly ran out of the dessert shop.
He looked anxious, and his eyes were filled with worry.
Shirley did not know Fabian, but she could see how uneasy and sick with worry he was at the moment.
“Driver, please start driving, ” Shirley told the driver who was looking at his phone.
The driver looked out of the window and noticed the car just now was gone.
“Miss, where would you like to go now? Are we going to follow the car just now?” the driver asked politely.
Shirley shook his head. “No need. I saw the person in the car and he’s not my friend. I made a mistake. Please take me back to where you picked me up. ”
“Alright, ” the driver answered and started the car quickly.
Shirley was very distracted on the way back. ‘So, was this why Carter came to F Country?
‘Who was that little girl? She looked a little familiar.
‘Why was Carter taking action against such a young child?’
On the other side, after putting Lillian in the car, Carter drove back to the apartment.
He forcefully carried Lillian who refused to get out of the car and then quickly walked upstairs.
What pleased Carter was that Lillian, being mute, would not make a lot of noise to alert the neighbors.
However, when Carter went back to the apartment, he did not see Shirley anywhere.
He looked all over the apartment, yet he still did not see her.
Where would Shirley go in her state?
Carter started to feel worried. He placed Lillian on a random spot on the ground and quickly turned around to walk to the door, intending to go downstairs to look for Shirley nearby.
However, coincidentally, the moment he opened the door, he saw Shirley who was about to open the door to enter.
Not noticing Shirley’s expression at this moment, Carter walked over and immediately pushed Shirley back into the house.
“Where did you go? Why are you running around when you’re in this state? What will you do if something happens to you?”
Carter’s questions came one after another, but one could hear his concern for Shirley in his voice.
Shirley did not answer Carter. Her eyes were locked on Lillian who was silently standing next to the coffee table.
“Shirley, I’m talking to…”
“Who is that little girl? Why did you abduct her?” Shirley asked bluntly.
Carter, who had not expected Shirley to ask that, was momentarily stunned. At a loss, he glanced at Lillian.
The child was standing under the window where the warm sunlight, like a layer of golden veil, landed on her flawless and supple doll-like face.
Lillian blinked her clear, pristine, big eyes and then slowly walked toward Shirley.
She looked at Shirley, who was in the wheelchair, and then her little eyebrows furrowed, her gaze seemingly downcast.
The little girl raised her hand and looked at Shirley carefully, then she pointed in the direction of the door.
Shirley immediately understood, but she was also looking at Lillian in disbelief.
‘This little girl can’t speak?’
‘Or is she afraid to talk when she sees strangers?’
She thought in her heart. Looking at Lillian’s face again, she seemed to see the shadows of Niamh and Kendrick from her facial features and eyes.
Shirley was taken aback. Was this Kendrick and Niamh’s child?
As Shirley wondered about this, Carter slammed the door shut.
He obviously would not let Lillian go.
“ Is this Kendrick and Eveline’s daughter?” Shirley voiced the doubt in her heart.
Carter paused when he heard the words. He said nothing, answering Shirley’s question with silence.
Shirley also instantly understood Carter’s silence. She looked at Lillian and then she chuckled.
“So, this was why you insisted on coming to F Country.”
Upon hearing Shirley’s words, Carter denied without hesitation.
“No.”
“No?” Shirley chuckled again. “Carter, you still want to have your revenge and take action against Kendrick, don’t you? You always think that Kendrick and Eveline are the reason you’re like this today, don’t you?”
The moment she finished talking, Carter suddenly turned to face Shirley. His expression and eyes sank suddenly.
“Even if they had nothing to do with where I’ve fallen to today, but what about our child?
“Didn’t Kendrick kill that child?
“Shirley, what made you the way you are now? Where is your fighting spirit? You weren’t like this back then! ”
“Back then, I was forced by you to be what you wanted, now I just want to be myself.”
“Be yourself?” Carter laughed, but his eyes were red. “You would help Kendrick and Eveline to ruin your beloved man’s future and even be an accomplice in killing our own flesh and blood?”
Carter asked sternly. Suddenly, he grasped the armrests on both sides of the wheelchair with both hands tightly and put his gloomy and icy face close to Shirley’s eyes.
“Listen, Shirley, I will never forgive Kendrick. Whatever happened to my child, I want the same for his child. His child will be buried next to mine! ”
Upon hearing this, a look of loss flashed across Shirley’s eyes.
“What do you want to do to this kid? Carter, even if you hate Kendrick and Eveline, you can’t hurt such a small child.”
“I can’t hurt such a small child? What about our child? Didn’t you also hurt my child?”
Carter asked back. He seemed a little obsessed at this point.
Shirley knew she could not change Carter’s mind, but when she looked at Lillian, she knew she could not allow this innocent child to be hurt.
Carter seemed to be able to tell that Shirley was very concerned about Lillian.
“You’re afraid that I’ll hurt this little thing, huh?” Carter peered at Lillian.
“If you’re afraid, you need to listen to me from now on. Then, I’ll promise to let this little thing stay alive safely.”
Carter stated his request in a threatening tone.
