Chapter 619 - I Don't Want To Meet Your Family

London patted his c.h.e.s.t and put his belongings in his room. After bathing, he rushed to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Although he didn't particularly like cooking, London could do it if he had to. This was because since he was little, he had watched his father, who loved working in the kitchen, prepare delicious food for their family.

This seemed to be a useful skill when he was in the situation he was in right now.

"Dinner's ready, let's go to the dining room," he said as he knocked on L's bedroom door.

L emerged from behind the door and nodded. She followed London into the dining room, and they ate quietly.

"I've finished the list of things I like and things I hate," L told him after she finished her meal. She took a piece of paper from her pocket and handed it to London.

The young man nodded and examined the contents of the paper from L. Hmm... there were five things she liked and two she hated.

"Are these all?" he questioned. He thought L would write so many things that she liked, but there were only five. "You like ice cream in the summer, flowers, beaches, pink, and teddy bears. Everything is quite simple..."

L only shrugged.

London examined the two things L hated. "You hate loud noises, and you hate being lied to... These are also quite simple. I didn't think you'd be this normal."

"What did you say?" L glared. "You thought I was an abnormal creature???"

London hurriedly touched the girl's hand and c.a.r.e.s.sed it gently to ease L's temper. What a short-tempered girl. "Ahahaha... I was joking. You're a very normal girl. Sorry, I was just surprised by this finding. I thought an extraordinary woman like you would be very high maintenance and troublesome. But this doesn't seem to be the case. You're very easy to care for."

In his heart, he confirmed that although L had a certain reputation, and her attitude could be quite annoying at times, she was actually quite nice and not troublesome. She never complained about where they lived, nor what they ate every day. In the several days that they've been living together, L also had never asked for anything or deliberately caused trouble for London.

She followed their agreement by taking care of her health and notifying London of all her activities. She also asked for pickups when she needed them, not trying to leave quietly or doing stupid things behind London's back.

Overall, London considered L an easy girl who never troubled him.

Hmm.. in fact, she also hadn't had any cravings or do anything weird due to her pregnancy. What a low maintenance girl!

"I'm easy to care for because I've learned to be independent since I was a child at the orphanage," L said to him. She crossed her arms across her c.h.e.s.t.

London was stunned by L's words. It was the first time he heard the girl talk about her past being raised in an orphanage.

"You grew up in an orphanage? Since at what age?" he asked in a soft voice, trying not to offend L. "Did they treat you well in there?"

L looked at him tiredly. It seemed that she didn't like to talk about her past. "I entered the orphanage when I was 8 years old. I lived there until I was 16 years old. After winning a singing competition, I started working as a singer in cafes and lived independently."

London remembered, when he was 16 years old, he was still acting like a child and often made mischiefs with his brother, Rune. But L had been taking care of herself and working to make money since she was so young. The man was moved to hear about L's past.

"You didn't go to school?" London asked again.

L shook her head. "I didn't have time. But one day, I will catch up and study with a private teacher, so I could get a university degree and be an educated person."

"Oh ..." London nodded. In fact, it was easy for him to get L' continue her education. He would call all the professors of science that she wanted to give her private lessons.

"How about you?" L asked suddenly.

"Me?" London pointed at himself. He didn't think L would be interested in asking about his past.

"Are you from America? Lately, your American accent had disappeared, you adapt quickly," L. commented. "You didn't grow up in an orphanage, did you? How was your life? Why did you get stranded here in Germany?"

"Oh ... I wasn't raised in an orphanage, you're right. I have a very happy family. My father and mother are still alive, I also have an older sister and a younger brother."

"Oh, the one who lives in Singapore?" asked L.

"You still remember her? Right. My sister is in Singapore now, while my younger brother is in Switzerland. Next week he will come here. Maybe you can meet him," London said with a smile.

"Hmm .. I don't know. I'm not sure I have the face to meet your family. After all, we agreed that after this child was born, we would go our separate ways. I think the less people know about our relationship, the better," L said in response to London's words .

"Our relationship? What relationship do we have?" asked London, pretending not to understand.

L just rolled his eyes and snorted. "You know what I mean. Don't pretend to be stupid. Now we are connected by this child. As soon as he is born and I leave here, the relationship will automatically end."

London sighed. "I understand."

Both of them did not say anything more. Talking about their child seems to be a nail in the coffin that killed off every direction of the conversation.

London then cleared their cutlery and washed it in the sink. L offered to help but was refused by the young man.

"You just rest. The practice must have made you tired. Let me take care of it," he said as he pushed L's body back into the living room.

L obeyed and finally walked to her room to rest.
