Chapter 623 - May Festival (1/2)
London deliberately did not insist on taking L to the festival. He must meet his younger brother, Rune, who was waiting for him in the penthouse to go together. He must tell Rune what happened and ask for his help to tell their parents.
The longer he delayed telling them the news, the more difficult it would be for him to do it.
[Jan has accompanied me here. What time do you want to come?] Rune asked via SMS.
[Soon.]
London waited until Pammy came and picked L to go to the festival, then she left the apartment. Marc was waiting for him in front of the building in his BMW. Dave left as soon as L and Pammy left. He was assigned to keep L safe.
London arrived at his penthouse by lunchtime. He found Rune and Jan busy chatting in the dining room while enjoying lunch dishes prepared by several chefs from St. Laurent Hotel.
”Jeez ... what happened to you?” Rune asked as he watched London's unusual appearance. As he recalled, his brother was very fashionable and always wore high-quality clothing, but today he appeared with a simple shirt and jeans and a pair of sneakers. He almost did not recognize his brother.
”How are you?” London paid no attention to Rune's words, immediately hugged his brother, and then sat down on the dining chair. ”There's something important I want to talk to you about.”
”Does it have something to do with your strange appearance?” asked Rune, guessing. He narrowed his eyes and turned to Jan. ”Do you know what is going on?”
Jan nodded but then shook his head. ”I can't say.”
”All right. Apparently, you started to play secrets with me,” Rune chuckled. ”I am curious.”
Rune and London, although they were brothers, were not alike. London had black hair and blue eyes, and was the spitting image of his father. Rune looked very similar to Aldebar, their father's brother.
His hair was golden that fell down to his shoulders. His blue eyes have a slightly slanted shape and give off a mysterious vibe. If London and Rune sat together, no one would think that they were siblings.
At first glance, one would think that the Rune was an eccentric-looking model and relaxed attitude. He did not look like a serious scientist, even though his daily life was always engaged with technology and research.
London cleared his throat and down his wine until before telling Rune what had happened.
”I will not keep it a secret from you. You will soon have a nephew OR niece.”
Rune looked disappointed when he heard London's words.
”Jeez... I thought you would tell me something crazy. I already knew that one.” He rolled his eyes and snorted. ”Why do you think I am trying to make the baby translator machine?”
London was stunned to hear that. ”You... you knew???”
”Of course! Aleksis will give birth in two months. Have you forgotten it?” asked Rune.
London and Jan looked at each other.
”That's not what I meant ...” Finally, London sighed. ”I mean it was me ... I will have a baby.”
Rune had never been so surprised in his entire life.
Finally, slowly London told him what had happened and Rune seemed to take some time to understand well what his brother was telling him.
”Today, you can see her,” London concluded. ”She will perform at the festival.”
Rune nodded. ”Congratulations. I don't know what to say ... apart from that.”
”Thank you.”
