”L ... please, you have to talk to me if something is bothering you. I can't read minds. I don't know what's in your heart if you don't tell me.” London finally stopped wiping L's tears because the tears didn't stop dripping. He pulled L into his arms. ”I'm sorry I didn't understand your point of view. I just wanted to make you happy ... but I didn't ask you if everything I did for you was what you want or not.”
”I'm also sorry if you feel that I don't appreciate what you have done for me. I do appreciate them ... but sometimes I hope you will give me a little freedom to build my own career.” L responded to his words by wrapping her arms around and hugged London's waist. ”I have never relied on anyone else before, and it is hard for me to suddenly accept the presence of a Santa Claus who grants all my wishes and showered me with various conveniences ... I'm not like you who is used to getting everything you want in life...”
London nodded. That is precisely what made him fall in love with L. The girl was not a demanding girl and never gave him any problems. She was not like other girls who wanted him because they knew that he was rich and powerful. L never asked anything from him. Heck, she even had a hard time accepting all of London's gifts for her...
”I understand now,” London whispered softly into L's ear. ”I'll try my best from now on...”
His warm breath in L's ear made the girl's heart pound faster. They haven't hugged this intimately in a long time. He could feel her getting emotional.
He always loved L's nice scent, and subconsciously kissed the top of L's head, as if he wanted to inhale the girl and made her part of him.
”L ...” This man's voice now sounded hoarse. ”I love you, you know that, right? I need to know ... Do you love me too?”
It took a little longer for her to reply, but finally, she said softly, ”Yes ...”
”L, will you marry me?” London asked again. He asked the question in a whisper to L's ear while his arms were still hugging her tightly.
”I don't want to accept your proposal just for you to cancel the wedding again ...” L said, frowning. Apparently, she was still hurt because London canceled their wedding plans one-sidedly two weeks ago.
”I will not cancel it. If you do love me, and we work together to improve our communication ... I think we are finally ready,” London kissed L's forehead and whispered again, this time his voice sounded husky. ”I was very sad when we separated ...”
L lifted her face and looked at London with her wet eyes as if trying to read whether the man was really honest or not.
”I never lie ... but you, on the other hand, have lied to me so many times ...” L pursed her lips. ”How do I know you are telling the truth now and that I can trust you?”
London shook his head. ”I'm telling the truth. I only love you, and I want to spend the rest of my life with you and Lily. Two weeks ago, I canceled our wedding plans because I thought you didn't love me. I thought you only accepted my proposal because I cornered you into marrying me... I thought you always chose your career over Lily and me ... I'm sorry. ”
