Chapter 780 - What Did You Say? (1/2)

”Oh, I see ...” L said, nodding. She still hadn't given up even though London replied to her questions curtly. She asked him again. ”Have you read the news lately?”

At first, London wanted to lie and say no, but finally, he chose to be honest.

”Yes, I did read a number of articles ... and videos,” he said.

”I have nothing to do with Kitaro,” L said suddenly. London looked up in surprise at L's urgent tone. ”In the interview video - when he said that he likes me, I actually wanted to make a video to counter it... but Pammy and all the bosses at Brilliant Mind Media said that being rumored as Kitaro's love interest would be good for my career. Evidently the popularity index today shows that my popularity is rising so high and my music sells more...”

London tried to refrain from snorting. He also knew that, so he didn't block all the gossip about Kitaro and L. That alone made him quite upset today. Now he had to hear the same thing from the girl.

”I know ...” he said curtly. He did not want to prolong the problem.

L seemed relieved to hear London's reply.

”I've also talked to Danny Swann to cancel the engagement between us ...” L continued. London looked at L questioningly. It seemed like L deliberately waited for him today so they could eat together to talk about many things. What exactly did she want?

”Then?” London asked her curtly. He already knew that there was no way Danny would break off the engagement with L because it meant he had to give half of his inheritance to L.

”He said he didn't want to cancel it because he had promised his grandfather before he died. Danny did not want to be unfilial. His parents had both passed away early and his grandfather was the only one who was raising him ...” L's face was covered with grief. ”He offered me to enter a contract marriage with him for a year, just to fulfill his grandfather's will. After one year, we will get divorced. Then he and I will not have anything to do with each other...”

Instantly the spoon in London's hand fell from his hand and hit the floor with a loud noise. His face immediately flushed with anger.

Lily, who was shocked by the sound of the spoon fell the floor, immediately cried. London hurriedly got up from his chair and carried Lily to calm her down.

The anger that had filled his c.h.e.s.t suddenly disappeared. He did not want Lily to feel the rage from her father's body while she was in London's arms.
