Chapter 682 - Dinner With L

L finally nodded and smiled slightly. She approached London and took the vegetables from his hands. "You could ask me to help you cook."

"You're a s.e.xy assistant. Of course, I'm happy to be assisted by a girl as beautiful as you," said London, who would never miss an opportunity to compliment and flirt with L.

L just hit his shoulder, but the girl smiled. Which woman didn't like being praised by a handsome man? In this case, L was just a normal girl.

After helping London in the kitchen, L realized that she actually enjoyed cooking dinner together. While cutting vegetables and preparing simple dishes, they chatted slowly about London's family.

The man told her about his sister who was very beautiful and now lived in Singapore with her husband. He told her that his sister had two pairs of twins.

"Ahh ... I can't imagine giving birth to twins like your sister! Delivering one baby was already very painful and difficult ..." L commented when she heard it. "Your sister is a great woman!"

London also shared about his brother who was a workaholic and lived in New York. This brother insisted that London name his child after him.

"Terry? I don't like the name ..." L said when she heard his story. "Even if our son is a boy, if you plan to name him Terry one-sidedly, I will divorce you!"

London only grinned at L's words. He raised his hand as if making a solemn vow, "I promise I will never name our child one-sidedly ..."

"It's good if you understand," grumbled L.

While stirring the soup in the pan, London then talked of his youngest brother, who liked to experiment and had created a baby cry translator. L's face looked very happy to hear that.

"Really? Tell your brother to send one here. We will need it soon as Lily is able to cry ..."

"Yes ... I'll ask him to send one later," answered London. He took one spoonful of soup and blew on it until it was not too hot and then showed it to L's lips. "Honey, try tasting this soup. Is it good?"

L tasted the soup and nodded happily. "It's delicious. Now, I'm hungry."

After all their dishes were done, the two then sat at the dining table and enjoyed dinner together. The atmosphere felt so warm and pleasant. However, L refused when London was about to pour wine into her glass.

"Why? Didn't the doctor say it's okay to drink a little while b.r.e.a.s.tfeeding?" asked London in surprise.

L shook her head. "I was agitated after my meeting with Danny, so I drank a glass in the hotel bar. I can't drink any more tonight, I haven't pumped my milk. I don't want Lily's milk to contain alcohol. You know I have to wait at least two hours before I could pump after drinking wine."

"Oh ..."

London looked at L with a loving look. Women made so many sacrifices once they become mothers, he thought. In addition to many who sacrificed their careers, women who chose to give birth to their children must also sacrifice losing their beautiful figures.

Very few lucky women could return to having a slim and s.e.xy body after they give birth, especially if they gave birth more than once. Not to mention, their bodies would be decorated with stretch marks due to their swollen abdomen and legs during pregnancy.

Besides that, pregnant and b.r.e.a.s.tfeeding women must pay close attention to what they eat because it would affect their fetuses and babies.

B.r.e.a.s.tfeeding women should not eat spicy foods, because babies who couldn't stand spicy would be in pain when the milk they drank contained the spicy taste. In addition, intake of alcoholic beverages such as wine must also be limited; a b.r.e.a.s.tfeeding woman could only drink a little and wait two hours before b.r.e.a.s.tfeeding so the alcohol wouldn't affect the milk they produced for their babies.

Seeing how a young, beautiful, and successful girl like L sacrificed it all, for the next two years, for the sake of their baby, London became moved.

For a moment, he just stared at L without blinking. This made L wonder and waved her hand in front of his face.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?"

London finally shook his head and smiled. He pulled L's hand to his lips and kissed her hand lovingly. "Nothing. You must eat a lot, okay..."

***

London didn't know what happened between L and Danny. What was clear was that L gave him bad news during their dinner. She could not marry London immediately, and she refused to tell him the reason.

"I don't understand. Why does it change again? You said before you only needed a month to clear up your business ... Why do we need to wait six months now? Did the swan threaten you? I could go to him and teach him a lesson," London said irritably. "Is it really because of him?"

"I don't want to discuss it now. Please. My head hurts thinking about it."

"If he really threatened you, I would go to him ..."

"Killian! Do you want to listen to my words or not?" Suddenly L stood up and held London's hand. "You. Must. Not. See. Him. I don't want him to know who you are."

"Eh ... why is that? Why do I have to hide?" asked London in confusion. He is not shameful. There was no reason for him to be afraid or hide from others.

"Because I don't want you to be involved, okay? Do you understand why it burdens me so much?" said L. "For me, Lily and you are a part of my personal life. I don't want to share you with the public. If you look for him, he will know your identity ..."

London frowned. He began to understand what was happening.
