Chapter 788 - You Said You Love Me? (1/2)

”Forgive me.”

Those were the only words that came out of L's lips. She looked at London with regretful eyes.

”What are you apologizing for?” asked London, trying to confirm her intention. He agreed with L that they had severe communication problems and now he didn't want to guess the meaning of L's words anymore. He chose to immediately ask and confirm what she actually wanted to say.

”I'm sorry for not being able to trust you easily. I shouldn't have had such prejudice about you wanting to take Lily away from me ...” L. answered

”Hmm .. okay. I'm sorry too.” London nodded. ”I'm also sorry for my words last night calling you a used good. I was really angry because you chose someone else over me, after everything I have done for you. Your decision to enter a contract marriage with Danny Swann made me feel meaningless in your eyes. That hurts so badly... ”

L shook her head, frantically. ”I understand. I'm sorry. I panicked. I couldn't think straight because he threatened to expose my secret ...”

”That's the next thing that pisses me off so much,” London raised his hand, giving the signal for L to let him speak. ”Why don't you trust me to silence Danny Swann or anybody who wants to mess with you? Is it so embarrassing to ask for my help? Why do you always have to act like you are so strong and don't need anyone?”

”You've already helped me too much ... I can't keep bothering you.” L held London's hand and slowly lowered it. She subconsciously rubbed the back of the hand uneasily. ”I just don't want to depend on other people.”

”I'm not just other people, L. I'm ...”

”How could I keep troubling you? We are only connected because of Lily. Besides, we are not in a relationship anymore. I know my place. There's no way I will continue to trouble you to solve all my problems ...”

London was silent. Two weeks ago, he had canceled their wedding plans because he was disappointed in L. In this case, L's words were true. The girl actually respected him by not trying to keep bothering him to help her. Although she had the reputation of being a golddigger, L had never once asked for anything from him. She even had always avoided bothering London.

Now London started to see from L's perspective, and he understood why the girl behaved in such a way. L really didn't want to trouble him and depend on him. While London actually felt offended because L did not want to ask for his help and, in return, made him feel inadequate and unneeded.

”So ... you never want me to help you because you don't want to bother me and don't want to depend on me ...? It is not because you don't consider me important in your life?” he asked, staring intently at L.
