Chapter 600 - L Has A Good Taste (1/2)
”I thought you only want to date a super-rich man ... So, why did you want to go out with me?” asked the curious man.
L looked at him with a look of surprise as if London was a primary school student asking simple questions that all elementary students should know the answer to.
”The fact that I am willing to go out with you now does not mean I want to date you, okay? I only gave you a chance because I don't have the heart to let you down after seeing how hard you tried. You braved coming to my house; you dressed up, and basically you made the effort. So, of course, I have to respect it. I also think we need to talk about 'that'. So, after this, we can move on and forget the unfortunate events that already happened,” L finally responded. ”Do you understand now?”
London nodded. ”So ... you accepted my invitation because you only wanted to talk. And for you, the place is not at all important. It could be anywhere. We can even do it by the river while eating burgers because... for you, this is actually NOT a date. You are not willing to give me any chance to develop any feelings for you.”
L nodded. ”I'm glad you understand. I can't bear to see you spend this much money on nothing. So, to help you, I won't order food. Let's just drink something cheap and talk.”
London could only nod slowly.
Actually, if you think about it, L was a nice girl. On the one hand, she knew Killian Makela was a poor man who was trying desperately to impress her, but because Killian did not have much money, L deliberately did not want to squeeze him dry by ordering expensive food.
But, on the other hand, that meant she did not want to give a chance to Killian to impress her. She did not consider Killian as a man who would be relationship potential.
Thinking of this, London could only swallow hard. At first, he had thought about just opening up his secret to L, and told her the fact that he was actually super-rich and that the whole building where they were now sitting enjoying champagne was his.
But because L did not want to give him a chance, he was discouraged to disclose his identity.
”Alright ... let's just drink.” London nodded in agreement. ”And talk.”
”You may begin.” L took a sip of her drink and looks at London. ”You said you want to talk. You go first.”
London was amazed to see the attitude of this girl who was eight years younger than him. L who was still 19 years old could sound very m.a.t.u.r.e when she was talking like this.
”I know you don't want to bring up what happened ...” Finally, London began to talk. ”But I just want to make sure you are fine, after ... after that incident. However, I was raised by my parents to be a good man, and I deeply regret what happened to you ... I want to be responsible and will make sure the culprit will get proper punishment.”
