Chapter 695 - Where Is L? (1/2)

What London couldn't bear to see the most was L crying, but whatever he did couldn't stop her cry. L sobbed wistfully and this made London confused and sad at the same time.

He didn't know what to do.

”L... if you want to be angry, be angry with me. You can hit me... I'm the one guilty of deceiving you. It was all accidental at first, but then it became really difficult for me to tell you the truth.” London walked over to L, who was still standing in front of the door with tears in her eyes.

The girl looked at him awkwardly. It could be seen in her eyes that L was experiencing inner conflict. She didn't know how to behave to the man whom she thought was a poor young man who happened to be the father of her child, and it was only this evening did she found out that he was actually the wealthiest and most powerful man in Germany, maybe even in all of mainland Europe.

”I... don't know how to behave,” the girl finally whispered. ”I need time to think.”

London nodded. ”I'm not in a hurry. You need to rest. We can talk tomorrow morning.”

He opened the door and invited L inside. The girl obeyed and immediately walked to her room. London only stared until the girl disappeared behind the door of the room, then he went to his own room and sat on his bed.

Tonight was really exhausting. He felt confused when he saw L's attitude, but at the same time, he was also relieved. Finally, he managed to drop the heaps of lies that had weighed him all this time.

Now all that remained was to wait for the morning to come and convince L to accept him as he was.

When he woke up, the sun was already high. London opened his eyes and blinked while trying to recall his memories. Hmm... He felt something was missing because this morning, he didn't hear the sound of L singing to wake him up.

Gosh! Elle!

He immediately remembered what happened last night. He had told L his true identity and shocked the girl. L fainted and then wept bitterly when they arrived back at home.

London hurriedly got up from the bed and wearing only a robe, he ran out looking for L. He had to know why L didn't sing as usual this morning.

”Have you seen Madam?” he asked the two nurses who were working in Lily's room. Both of them shook their heads.

Their responses made London feel uneasy. He immediately ran back to his room and dialed L's number.

One ring.

Two rings.

L still didn't pick up her phone.

Damn it, London exasperatedly cussed inside. He shouldn't have left L alone last night. He wondered what's on her mind now.

He then called Marc. His bodyguard was always watching his house day and night, so he should be able to tell him where L went.

”Yes, Sir. Good morning.” Marc's cheerful voice came on the other end.

”L disappeared. You have to find out where she went!” London hurriedly exclaimed.

”Miss L...”
