Chapter 818 - Im Asking For A Payment (1/2)

L finally nodded slowly and buried her face in the man's shoulder. They remained in that position for a few moments. Until finally, Lily's cry stirred the silence.

”Lily is awake ...”

London turned to his baby cot and nodded. ”Yeah... she must be hungry. She also fell asleep before taking her bath. You take care of Lily first, I'll prepare her bath water.”

He then lowered L's body and watched the girl walk over to their baby and lifted Lily. The little baby started protesting because she was left alone. L took Lily her l.a.p lovingly and nursed her.

London watched the scene with a faint smile. Not long after, he entered the bathroom and prepared warm water to bathe Lily. It felt strange, too, after marrying L, nothing had changed in their lives. The most striking difference was that now he and L have opened up to each other and expressed their love without restraint.

He made the decision after thinking for two days. When he heard that L had fallen ill because she was so jealous after seeing him having lunch with Caroline, London finally took decisive action and asked L to marry him. There was no need to wait and raise more doubts in their hearts.

He knew L only needed to be convinced. London had heard from Pammy how the cancellation of their wedding plans had hurt L badly and made it very hard for her to trust him again.

So he then decided to prove his determination by marrying the girl as soon as L accepted his proposal. What was there to wait for? After all, his family already knew about his relationship with L, and they just wanted to see him happy.

They could still celebrate their wedding later with a festive celebration in Stuttgart. What's important now was that he and L we finally united in marriage. He had also thought carefully about L's career and her d.e.s.i.r.e to protect her privacy. London had already decided that it would be okay for him if L did not reveal her personal lives to the public. L didn't need to share the identity of her husband and child.

London felt that was enough, as long as L claimed to be married and had a child. So, that the men out there who fell in love with his wife knew that L already had a husband. It should be enough to deter those men from chasing her. With L's statement to the media last week that she was indeed pregnant and had given birth to a child, London felt L had compromised quite a lot on her part.

Now everything would be alright.

”The water's ready,” said the man, fifteen minutes later.

”Thank you.” L nodded and carried Lily, who looked very cheerful, to enter the bathroom and bathe the baby.

Half an hour later, Lily was already back in her basket, chattering happily. Her clothes had been replaced with cute bear-patterned onesie, and her body was covered in a warm blue blanket. Her hands were busy playing with a plush panda toy. Her parents watched from the side with their faces filled with happiness.

London sat on a chair while L sat on his l.a.p. L, who rarely smiled, had smiled many times tonight, revealing her pearly white teeth and a pair of sparkling black eyes. She was truly happy.

”Tomorrow, I have a surprise for you,” London whispered into his wife's ear.

”You do? What's that?” L asked with a smile. She felt nothing could surprise her anymore after London proposed to her and married her within a few hours.

”It would no longer be a surprise if I let you know now ...” the man said in a serious tone.

”You're so bad!” grumbled L. ”You shouldn't have said anything. Now, I won't be able to sleep because I'm so curious.”

”I can give you a little hint to help you, but I'm asking for a payment,” London said in a mischievous tone.

L frowned and looked at him suspiciously. ”What do you want?”

She saw her husband's eyes focused on her b.r.e.a.s.ts, and his expression looked a little stupid. Subconsciously L covered her c.h.e.s.t with both hands. ”Gosh .. you must be thinking dirty again about me ..”

London, who was caught red-handed, only laughed shyly and nodded. ”Sorry ... it's hard not to think dirty about my dear wife when you are here on my l.a.p.”
