Chapter 681 - Cooking Is A Statement Of Love (1/2)
London's family finally understood the reason for the young man to withhold the truth from L. He was trying to find the right time, and they didn't want to add to his burden. They knew he would work hard to solve this problem.
”I have never heard anything like this happened before. Some rich guy has to pretend to be poor to get a woman. And for him to tell her the truth, to reveal that he was actually very wealthy, turns out to be very difficult,” commented Rune with a laugh. His family was discussing London's problem while enjoying high tea together. ”It's a complicated problem, but it's funny.”
”I feel sorry for L. Imagine, the people around her know who I am, but she doesn't,” uttered London.
”Who else knows about your identity?” asked Rune.
”Hmm ... Jan and you all know it. Lily too, that's for sure. I often whisper to her what happened.” London's eyes always looked sparkle with happiness when mentioning his child. ”Then Pammy, L's manager also knows, all the doctors who handled her at the hospital, and the two nurses who are staying with us now to care for Lily, they also know ...”
Rune was astonished at his brother's words. He was reminded of the time when he was playing tricks on London by secretly sticking a paper that said, 'I JUST FARTED' on his brother's back when they were little.
Everyone who saw the writing on the paper laughed at London all day, but because London did not see the note, he did not understand why they were all laughing at him.
Gosh ... this felt exactly like that! Imagine how L would feel later when she found out that everyone around her knew about her husband's secret, but she didn't. Of course, she would feel like a laughingstock, because she was like a fool who didn't know anything.
”Gosh ... Brother, your life is terrible. I don't want to be in your shoes then.” Rune could only shake his head. ”Good luck.”

London was back at his house when L returned. The girl's face looked tired. London could suspect that L's meeting with Danny did not go too well.
Marc even sent photos of L from his observation spot. Her face looked sad and upset while talking to Danny while the man's expression looked hurt.
Unfortunately, Marc could not read lips, so he did not know what they were talking about.
[You must learn to lipread then. Go look for a good lip-reading teacher.]
With annoyance, London could only make the bodyguard learn how to read lips, so that next time, when he was sent to follow L again, he would be able to give a more comprehensive report.
London really wanted to know what upset L so much. But seeing L's tired expression and her resting bitch face that said 'do not disturb', London decided he wouldn't mention it at all. He did not want to make L even more annoyed if she had to remember what happened between her and Danny Swann.
Therefore, he tried to distract L from things that made her upset by inviting her to eat.
