Chapter 683 - Ls Mysterious Past (1/2)

”Wait a minute ...” He touched L's hand. ”Did he threaten to spread to the public that you were pregnant and gave birth to a child out of wedlock? Is that your concern? You're afraid he will find out who I am, and where we live?”

Finally, L nodded slowly. ”He refused to break off the engagement. He said if I insist, he will spread the news that I was pregnant and giving birth. You know how bad it is for my career.”

”I don't understand where is the problem? We just need to announce that we are married,” London replied.

”We can't ...” complained L. ”You know I can't lie. I hate lies. You want me to violate my own principles?”

London sighed. He really liked L who had integrity, but for this kind of situation, he hoped L didn't mind lying.

Just this once...

”Okay .. well, if you say so. What if people know? In modern times like now, things like that are common.” He tried to argue again.

”Not with me. My career has just begun, and now I am quite famous. You can imagine how damaged my image will be. I'm still 19 years old ...” L cupped her face with both hands and began to cry. ”They won't care if I'm just a victim. My career will be destroyed...”

”Honey ... your career won't be ruined ... You're very talented ...” London became confused when he saw L start to cry.

”My career will be ruined ... and I won't be able to finance this house and care for Lily ...” L cried even more wistfully. ”You know how expensive all Lily's treatment costs are ... I can't possibly bother my agency all the time. You know how much I owe Mr. Schneider a great deal of gratitude. He has been so kind to me, and I pay him back with a scandal!”

L was now sobbing.

London understood L's concern. The girl was scared that her career would be ruined because of a scandal if the news about her being pregnant and giving birth outside marriage to spread out.

The scandal could be twisted to make her look like she was a s.l.u.tty teenage girl who did not deserve to be a role model for the younger generation.

For L, her career was very important because she relied on her income as an artist to support their family because she still thought London was poor. The man claimed to have just had a job interview, and the results would only be announced in a week.

So now, you could say London was still unemployed in L's eyes. So, of course, she was worried about her life and Lily if her career was ruined ...

Ugh ... thinking about it made London want to hug L tightly and whisper to her that she didn't need to worry anymore about anything in this world. He, London Schneider, would provide everything ...

But for now, he was forced to hold back.

He could only hug L and say, ”Okay ... you calm down first. We'll talk again tomorrow. I'll help you think about it.”

L still cried for another half an hour before finally she nodded and broke away from London's arms.

”I'll pump first and say hello to Lily, then go to sleep. Good night,” the girl said in a weak voice.
