Chapter 811 - Honey, You're Back?

L's request was not too extraordinary, but London was still surprised to hear L suddenly ask for help.

Actually, he did not want to involve L because he was worried that the girl would feel pressured, and worse was she would become the target of bad people.

But well... wouldn't it be easier for him to protect her if L knew what danger was lurking to threaten her?

Because of this consideration, London finally nodded and agreed to her request, even though he knew L couldn't see him nod.

"All right ... I will definitely help you. We can talk about it after you return to Grunewald," the man replied. "Are you going home tomorrow?"

"Yes. My business here is finished," L. said

"How is the result?"

"Well ... I don't know yet. The team of lawyers here has managed to find a copy of George Swann's will, and they have also compiled a list of the family assets. I will study the doc.u.ments and coordinate with them later to ask for a fair distribution of property ..." L explain a little about the situation. She guessed that London must have known more or less what was happening. So there was no point in covering up her intention to take this trip to England.

"Do you really want the assets?" asked London. "Is my wealth not enough for you? I believe the Schneider family's wealth is over ten times that of the poor Swann family ..."

His voice couldn't hide his annoyance. London did not want his wife to accept money from any man.

L massaged her forehead at the man's statement. "Don't talk too casually like that. I am not your wife, so naturally, I am not entitled to your money. What will your wife say when you are married and she knows that you have offered me your money ..."

London was surprised to hear L's words. The girl wasn't usually acting like this.

Was L jealous? Why did she keep talking about other women?

"That's easy to fix. For me to not get into trouble with my wife if I give you money, why don't you become my wife? It's a win-win for us both," London said casually. "To be honest, I'm tired of waiting until next month. Do you think I'm an unemployed guy who has so much free time that I can date many women?"

"What...?" L felt surprised, hearing the man's words.

How could London claim to be busy? He obviously went to London just to meet that beautiful doctor ... L could only cuss inwardly. She did not have any more energy to argue with him.

"I will help you find the people responsible for your family's death. After all, they are my family too." London's voice turned serious. "I'll pick you up at the airport and tomorrow we can talk about it."

L was stunned to hear London's words. After a while, she finally took a deep breath.

"All right. See you tomorrow," she said in the end.

"See you later. I can't wait to hug Lily and you."

L did not answer. She just hung up and placed her cellphone back in the bag.

Alright ... she would return tomorrow morning to Germany. There were so many things she had to do there.

She must find who killed her parents and younger brother, then avenge them. Later, she also must arrange for her to get her share of the inheritance. Then ... she also had to do something to restore her reputation that was tarnished by gossips circulating throughout the past week.

"Shouldn't we be notified by the receptionist if we had a guest coming?" Pammy asked in surprise.

"I don't know ... just open the door. Maybe it's the hotel staff," L said. Pammy finally complied and walked to the door to open it. Before she did so, she peeked first to make sure those who came were not bad people.

In front of the door, she saw a tall man with a big body and a neat black suit. He looked commanding. Pammy opened the door.

"Good morning, who are you looking for?" Pammy asked in surprise. Dave smiled and touched his forehead a little, saluting L and Pammy before replying.

"Good morning, Madam. I am Dave, the bodyguard assigned by Master to look after you and little Miss. My team is waiting below with a car. We will take you to the airport and fly to Berlin in your private jet."

L was stunned to see one of London's personal guards from a close range like this. She often saw Marc hovering around London every time they met, but she had only seen Dave a few times, and that was from afar.

"Ah, we just finished breakfast and will leave in half an hour. You don't mind waiting?" L asked kindly.

Inwardly, she felt very relieved. Last night, she was struck by the fear that Danny Swann might do something drastic to prevent her from getting half of the inheritance. L was scared that Danny would send killers to get rid of her.

But now, she calmed down. Dave, who looked intimidating, will guard her and Lily from close range. Moreover, the man also brought a team with him. We will be safe, L thought.

"Of course, we will wait for you, Madam," Dave answered with a respectful smile. "Please take your time, Ma'am ..."

L and Pammy finished their breakfast, then pack up their belongings to go home. Forty minutes later, they were already sitting inside a black limousine heading to the airport.

Pammy kept tsk-ing in awe at the luxurious limo interior and how smooth their trip was. L was also impressed. Although she was a famous artist, she had never been in a car as luxurious as this one.

Pammy's admiration grew even more so when they arrived at the airport. The car drove straight into the runway and stop right next to the private plane. They could just get out of the car and board London Schneider's plane. They didn't need to go through the terminal at all like those commercial passengers.

"I ... I hope you will marry Mr. Schneider ..." whispered Pammy as she plopped herself into the soft sofa beside L. "This is truly amazing!"

L only rolled her eyes at Pammy's words.

She did want to marry London Schneider, but not because of his wealth.

Ah, why didn't Pammy understand that?

After all, L didn't know whether London's feelings for her were really love. Today, more than all the money in the world, L only wanted certainty. She would not be able to marry someone just for his wealth, without having the faith that their marriage was based on love.

The current L was not the old L, who didn't care who the man she was going to marry, as long as he was wealthy and powerful.

They landed in Berlin at 2 pm. L let Dave and his men carry her stuff, while she carried Lily off the plane.

Ah, last night London said he would pick them up at the airport. Will he really come? L asked herself.

"Honey ... you're back?"

Apparently, L didn't need to guess. That peculiar warm voice greeted her as L's feet hit the first step. As she descended the flight of stairs, her eyes fell immediately to a tall, handsome man who stood calmly on the runway with his hands in his gray coat pocket. He looked so warm and inviting.

At that moment, L felt like she just wanted to hurry down the stairs and get under his warm coat.
