Chapter 702 - The Schneider Family Is In Her House! (1/2)
London stared at L as if he was unaware that the girl was very shocked to hear her idol's voice on the other end of the phone.
”What happened to you?” he asked in astonishment.
L could only shake her head, still unable to speak.
”Hm... okay, I'll call you later, Auntie. My wife seems to have something stuck on her throat, so I'll get her a drink first.”
Billie Yves just laughed and agreed. ”All right, go help her first. Later when you're already certain of the right date and time, I'll come. See you.”
”Thank you, Auntie. See you.”
After London hung up the phone, it took five minutes for L to calm down before she could speak normally.
”How can you call Billie Yves Auntie? You two sound so familiar with each other!” L voiced, seemingly a little faster than her usual pace. ”And... and... she, hasn't she retired for a long time? Nobody knew where she went to seclusion...”
London just laughed lightly at L's shock. ”Auntie Billie and my family are quite close. She used to be in a long term relationship with one of my uncles, you might remember, his name was Jean. After they broke up, the relationship between our families remained good. Besides, my mother really liked Auntie Billie and has been a big fan of hers since a long time ago. Well, just like you…”
”Oh really?” L was still doubtful hearing that.
”That's right. Because of what happened between us, 25 years ago, Auntie Billie also receives a bottle of immortality potion, so she always looked young. She resigned from the music industry a few years ago as well as a way to dispel people's suspicions of her youth.”
”Oh...” L then remembered about herself. ”Then... if I drink the immortality potion and come with you, I'll also have to withdraw from the entertainment industry one day?”
London nodded. ”That's right. You can only pretend to look young for some time, you can't maintain that excuse forever. Sorry. We can't possibly disclose our clan's secrets to the outside world. Other people will be suspicious if they see you continue to look like this, without ever getting old.”
”I understand.” L nodded. She took a deep breath and looked closely at London. ”I think this is worth it.”
”That's right. That is also one of the reasons why the Schneider family is very closed and doesn't appear in public quite often. Very few people know about our true appearances.”
”Hmm... makes sense. I'll protect Lily that way too.”
”Exactly.” London once again had a mischievous grin when he stole a kiss from her. ”I'm so happy. You don't know how uneasy I had been in the past few months trying to figure out the best way to tell you all my secrets.”
”I understand, it's definitely not easy.” L nodded in confirmation.
”You know, I was ready to keep this secret for years until Lily has already grown up,” London continued.
”Why wait for Lily to grow up?” L asked, not understanding.
”Of course so that when I reveal my secrets, I can hide behind Lily's body so you can't scold me... hahahaha...” London laughed with satisfaction.
He knew himself well enough and no doubt that if he was pressed, he wouldn't hesitate to take such devious methods. L certainly wouldn't be able to scold London if Lily protected him.
”You... !” L wanted to look angry, but her lips were smiling. She wasn't at all angry.
Seeing L's attitude, which began to soften, and how she didn't mind at London's silly plan of wanting to use Lily, the man felt he had the upper hand. He was about to steal another kiss when his phone suddenly rang.
Ugh! He wanted to see who else of his staff dared to disturb him when he wanted to kiss L like this.
”We're in front of the gate. Please open the door.” Finland's voice from the other end of the phone immediately made him jump.
Ah... Again, it turned out that it was his mother who called.
”Wait a minute, Mom.” London kept his phone and turned to L. ”My parents have arrived. Are you ready to meet them?”
