Chapter 608 - Ls Secret (1/2)

For an hour, London could only pace in his place while waiting for news from Carl. He was really worried thinking about how L was doing. As long as he hadn't gotten information from Carl, he wouldn't be able to sleep.

At midnight, his cellphone rang, and Carl's awaited voice could be heard.

”How is she?” London quickly asked.

Carl gave his report briefly, and London's heart almost stopped. He didn't think that it actually happened.

”Thank you, Carl. I'll see her soon.” His eyes fell on his watch, and he realized that it was almost midnight. He couldn't possibly come at this hour, else it'll interrupt L's rest. ”Please send someone to look after her there. I'll come early tomorrow morning.”

”Yes, Sir.”

London hung up and pondered for a long time.

He couldn't sleep at all that night and could only sit in his office drinking wine.

At six in the morning, he had changed into modest clothes, took off his watch, and wore his sneakers and climbed into the ordinary car he had ordered for Carl to prepare. He drove himself to the address Carl gave.

At seven in the morning, he arrived at a small house in the suburbs. As soon as he stopped his car in front of the gate, he saw a black BMW moving away. He knew it was the security team sent by Carl for L last night, and now, they were giving him privacy.

London took a deep breath. He then got out of his car and knocked on the door several times. After a few minutes, there was a woman's answer as the gate slightly opened.

”Good morning. Who might you be looking for?” A woman in her forties asked from behind the door.

”I'd like to meet Miss Elle. This is really important,” London voiced, showing his sweetest smile. His handsome face and a sweet, sincere smile quickly conquered the housekeeper's heart. Thus, the woman invited this guest to enter.

”Who's that, Lola?” A melodious voice could be heard from inside the house.

Before the housekeeper could answer, London had put an index finger on his lips, gesturing Lola to not notify her of his arrival.

”This is a surprise...” London whispered with a sweet smile. Lola looked happy because she could take part in giving the lady a delightful surprise. She then nodded and invited London in. ”Thank you, Lola. I haven't seen her in a long time. I want to surprise her.”

He quickly entered the house and walked towards where the voice came from. In the living room of the small house, he saw a woman sitting on a sofa, staring at the small garden beside the house, which was filled with tulips.

”Elle...” London called out when he was near the girl. L suddenly looked at him. Her expression was a mixture of surprise, shame, and anger. She looked at London with a sharp look.

”I never allowed you to enter,” she curtly spoke.

London didn't mind L's temper this time. He walked over to the girl and knelt in front of her. ”I know my presence here isn't wanted. But please listen to me...”

”I have no reason to listen to you,” L tried to get up, but her hand was held by London, holding her in her place.
