Chapter 628 - You Tricked Me! (1/2)
When she finished exercising and went into the dining room for breakfast, London was looking at her with a grinning face. L narrowed her eyes because the man was staring at her with such happiness that she felt uncomfortable.
”Don't look at me like that. I'm not food, okay...” the girl blurted. ”You look like you want to eat me.”
London gulped and hurriedly averted his gaze from L. It's true, he did look at L like a hungry person.
L's body looked very s.e.xy, wrapped in a yoga outfit that showed off all her curves perfectly, especially her growing belly. L's pregnancy was now at 5.5 months and for some reason, she just looked even more beautiful and glowing.
”Uhm, sorry. I am just super happy,” London answered happily. ”Today, we can find out the gender of our child. I can't wait!”
”Oh ...” L looked at her stomach and then looked away. She did not respond to London's excitement and continued eating her breakfast in silence.
”You don't like it?” asked London curiously. L still didn't want to answer.
At that time, London was feeling so anxious to mix veritaserum into the maple syrup that L was eating with her waffle, so that for once L would be honest with him and said her heart's content. After months of knowing the girl, to this day London still couldn't understand L. She also didn't seem to want to open up to him.
However, London was a normal man who had limited patience. He did not know how long he could accept being treated this way by L.
After breakfast, he then went to work. As usual, he stopped by the penthouse to change his clothes. He would exercise first in his private gym and swim in the infinity pool, showered and then go to his office feeling refreshed.

At 3 PM, London returned early because Dr. Muller would come to check on the L's pregnancy. As usual, he came home with flowers. The flowers weren't always expensive and large. Sometimes, he would only carry a stalk or pick a few flowers from his penthouse balcony. He didn't want L to be suspicious of him for always bringing her flowers from the flower shop, as L considered him poor.
”I'm home,” London said, putting his bag on the sofa. He then sat next to L and studied the book she was reading. ”Have you eaten?”
L nodded.
”Have you eaten your vitamins?”
L nodded again.
”Is the book interesting?”
L nodded again. Not once did she take her eyes off the book.
”Hmm... the weather is good today, don't you think?”
L nodded yet again.
Seeing the girl only nod every time he spoke, a mischievous idea appeared in London's head. He took out his cellphone then started recording a video.
