Before L could think further, the man had walked forward and waited for her at the bottom of the stairs, spread his hands, and gave a sign for L to come down directly to him.
The girl's face instantly flushed red. She did not think London would behave so intimately in front of his men. Once she reached the last step and went down to the runway, L handed Lily to London's embrace.
L and London exchanged glances. Lily had begun to smile often, but she had never laughed that loudly in front of them before.
”Gosh... apparently you are delighted to meet Daddy,” commented London happily. He kissed Lily again and pressed his nose against the baby's nose. ”You're so cute, you know that, right? You're the cutest baby in the whole wide world.”
L just smiled at the interaction between the father and daughter duo. She could not deny her happy feelings when she returned to Berlin. Somehow, she already felt at home, even though the city was not her native hometown.
”Does Lily miss Daddy?” London repeatedly teased Lily, who was in his arms. ”I miss you so much.”
”Looks like she does miss you,” L commented. ”Look, she's so happy to see you.”
London smiled mischievously as he turned to L. ”I really am adorable and missable, of course, Lily missed me. How about you?”
L just rolled her eyes and walked towards the car that was waiting for them. London immediately followed her. Before he got into the car, he called Pammy to come closer.
”Pammy, you can go home alone, right? My driver will drive you straight home.” London pointed to a black BMW next to his Mercedes. ”His name is Ben.”
Pammy nodded respectfully. ”Of course, Sir. I will go straight to my apartment. You be careful on the road, have a good rest.”
This was the first time L shared a car with London in a formal setting after he revealed his identity as London Schneider. So.. this is how rich people travel, L thought to herself. The girl observed several cars around them that contained London's security team.
At that time, she felt very safe. The dark clouds that had filled her mind all night from thinking about Danny Swann's threat were now gone.
”Thank you for picking us up,” L murmured almost silently. ”I know you are very busy.”
London just shrugged. ”I am never busy for you and Lily.”
L turned when she heard those words. She looked at London as if she wanted to believe his words, but it was difficult for her to do.
”Why? You don't believe me?” asked London in an irritated tone. ”Try to ask anything from me, I will definitely grant it.”
L bit her lip at the words. ”Ugh ... you still want to be my Santa Claus ...”
London instantly remembered L's protest back then, and he finally sighed. ”Ah .. actually, that's not what I meant. Now, I will only do something for you if you asked. You don't know how happy I was last night when you finally asked something from me. A man is very happy whenever he felt needed, you know that?”
L shook her head. ”I didn't know that. Anyway, I don't like to bother other people.”
London stared fixedly at L. ”I'm not other people.”
