Chapter 648 - Panic (1/2)
Suddenly someone knocked on their apartment door. L slammed the small camera in her hand and immediately opened the door. London was shocked when he saw Danny for the first time.
The young man looked very handsome, far more good looking than the faint image in a hidden camera video he saw on Jan's tablet last night.
Danny Swan looked neat with expensive outfits from head to toe. His face was handsome and serious. When he appeared in the doorway, his expression looked worried.
”Marianne, are you all right?” he asked L and quickly hugged her. The girl shook her head and broke away from him.
”Please take me away from here,” L said in a tired voice. Her tears have dried, and she didn't want to cry anymore.
”Marianne?” London was surprised to hear that name. He did not understand why Danny called L by another name. Was this some kind of role-play between lovers where they pretend to be someone else?
”Please don't chase me anymore. I'm afraid of you. You're not the person I thought you were ...” L said, staring intently at London. ”I thought you were a good man ... But...”
”You're wrong. I'm not a bad person. I'm watching you because I want to take care of you, that's all ...” London was still trying to coax L, ”I have no bad intentions. Please remember carefully, besides watching you .. did I do anything bad? Did I ever? ”
L was stunned and looked at London without being able to reply. In her head came various images of how London had treated her so well.
She remembered how the man immediately exclaimed that he was willing to take responsibility when he found out about her pregnancy.
She also remembered how every day, without missing a day, London always brought flowers for her because he knew every woman liked flowers, he also cooked healthy food for her and always made sure she ate well and took her vitamins.
The man was only absent from giving her flowers and preparing food in the last ten days because he said he was in Singapore visiting his sister. If indeed, what he said about going to Singapore was true.
He might be good to me, what he did was unforgivable, L thought while biting her lip.
What she hated the most is being lied to. And that's where London mess up. Not only did he lie to her, but London also spied on her. At present, it was very difficult for L to trust him.
”I don't know who you really are ... if you are truly a good person or if all these are just a scam...” L finally said in a hoarse voice. ”You claim to be a photographer, but it turns out you have a relationship with the mafia .. You treat me well, but at the same time, you also spy on me and control my life ... You scare me.”
London was stunned to hear L.'s words. He didn't think everything he did for L would only end like this. All just because he wanted to cover up his identity ...
”Elle ... or Marianne ... whoever you are ... Please, listen... I can explain everything.” London walked toward L slowly while reaching out his hand. ”I promise, from now on, I will be honest to you ...”
L crossed her arms on the c.h.e.s.t. ”Nothing prevents you from being honest earlier.”
London glanced at Danny. ”I will tell you the truth. All about me ... but not in front of him.”
”Danny is my future husband. Whatever you want to say to me, you can say in front of him,” L replied in a cold voice.
Danny walked to L's side and held her hand. ”Marianne, let's go. We don't need to linger here. Remember, you can't be stressed.”
His eyes were full of affection, and it made London feel like being stabbed in the c.h.e.s.t. He felt hurt. Danny and L's relationship looked very close. They didn't seem like people who had only met each other for a few days. Moreover, Danny clearly called L by another name. Had they known each other for a long time?
Suddenly he felt as if he was a stranger among this couple, the third wheel.
”Why can't you be stressed?” asked London quickly. ”Does this have something to do with your pregnancy? Why didn't you say anything to me?”
”Killian,” L raised her hand, stopping London from approaching her. ”If you have something to say, please say it now. I'll wait. If not, I'll leave. I'll let you know when Lily is born so you and Finland can pick her up.”
