Chapter 781 - Not Normal And Sane (1/2)
In the past, although L often angered London because of her irritating behavior and short temper, London had never once been mean to her. However, this time London's patience was completely exhausted.
He felt that L had gone too far and did not think about his feelings. Especially now, the girl did not understand that London's question was only rhetorical that did not require an answer from her.
L repeated her words in a dubious voice. ”I said, after I've divorced Danny Swann in a year, we can get married for real... if you still want it.”
London just snorted in annoyance.
”Who do you think I am to take another man's used goods?” he retorted.
His words were hurtful and he immediately regretted them as soon as the words came out. However, it was too late. L looked shocked and she was staring at him with a pair of eyes glared with heartache.
”I'm sorry,” London said hurriedly, but L had risen from the dining chair and left with long steps to her bedroom. The girl slammed the door and locked it. London just stood rooted in his place.
He did not know why he had been so angry that he could not control his words. He did not mean to say such hurtful things but his mood was very bad and he was really disappointed because, again, L chose someone else than him.
Before, L chose her career over London and Lily, now she chose to marry an evil man who only cared about money, than him and Lily.
”When will you wake up, L? I am the only good man for you ... but why are you treating me like this?” London murmured to himself. He felt so hurt.
He took Lily, who was now crying and carried her in his arms. The baby was startled by the sound of the door slammed. The man tried to knock on L's door and tried to make the girl open the door for him and Lily so they could talk.
”I'm sorry. Really, I didn't mean to say it like that ... I was just annoyed earlier. I'm a normal man who can feel upset and just now I said the words I didn't mean ...” said London repeatedly. ”Please forgive me...”
He could hear sobbing from inside the room and it made his c.h.e.s.t feel tight. His relationship with L so far was full of problems and arguments. Maybe that's how it was if the two people involved were still very young and imm.a.t.u.r.e.
This was understandable because London had never had a girlfriend before, while L herself, not only did she never have any boyfriend, she was also very young in age. London remembered that L would only turn 20 next month.
”Aah ... you stupid idiot stupid ...” London cussed repeatedly. As a much older man, he should have been able to act more m.a.t.u.r.ely and understanding. L was basically a teenager compared to him, a man in his late 20s.
Or, maybe he should have just told L that the real reason why Danny Swann insisted on not wanting to break off the engagement with her was that he didn't want to lose half of his inheritance.
Unfortunately, L's decision to accept Danny's contract marriage proposal really made London's mood worse.
