Chapter 816 - Don't You Dare... Change Your Mind

"I won't get up until you respond to my proposal." London still insisted in his place. He smiled at the confused girl. L did not expect him to propose to her again, so suddenly like this. London continued to coax L. "I already told you ... this is the last proposal. I'm not going to ask again. So think carefully about your answer ..."

L looked at London with her eyes slowly filled with tears. Subconsciously she dropped down and buried her head in London's shoulder.

"I am not educated... I don't even have a high school diploma. I also don't have many skills. I can only sing, there's not much I can do. I'm also stubborn and hot-headed..." The girl cried uncontrollably. "Are you sure you want to spend the rest of your life with me ...? You can't change your mind halfway ... That's not fair to me ..."

London embraced L in his arms and rubbed her hair understandingly.

"I promise I will not change my mind ... I think the time we spent together is enough to make us know each other and understand what we both want ..." he whispered. "You also can't change your mind halfway. It's not fair to me ... I'm the same. There's not much I can do too. I don't have many skills. I can only order people to do this or that. I also often make you upset. I hope you will be patient with me..."

His voice sounded very earnest and serious, and that moved L. She loved this man, but for the past year, the life they had led together felt like a very tiring emotional roller coaster.

She realized that her very young age made her sometimes act rashly and selfishly. Even though she tried so hard to act like a proper a.d.u.l.t, it cannot be denied that she was still young and inexperienced.

L lifted her face from London's shoulder, which was now soaked by her tears.

"Honey ..." Finally, for the first time, L called London with a loving gesture. The man's heart almost dropped from his c.h.e.s.t because he felt thrilled. He never thought that just one word could make him so happy.

"Yes, Honey?" A big smile graced the man's face as he cupped L's face with both hands.

L looked at the man with glittering wet eyes, and slowly her lips formed a faint smile as she finally shyly nodded. "I will marry you. Since this is the last proposal, my last answer is, I am willing to marry you."

Even though London had expected L to finally say yes, still, hearing the words come out of her lips made this man extremely happy. He pulled L's face gently towards him and landed a hot kiss on her lips.

Gosh... it was only a week ago that he kissed these s.e.xy pink lips, but now he already forgot how it felt. In his head, it felt like it was already centuries ago that their lips met, and now he wanted to make up for the lost time and claimed it with interest.

L closed her eyes and responded when London's lips claimed hers, and his tongue swiftly thrust through L's half-open lips and explored her mouth. When his tongue found L's tongue, he twisted it and s.u.c.k.e.d it passionately, leaving the girl almost out of breath.

London relaxed his arms slightly to give him and L time to regulate their breath before he went back to kissing L again. This time, hotter than before. They both rose from the kitchen floor and kissed passionately.

When the man's hands began to sneak under L's clothes, the girl was immediately moved from her daze and gently pushed his hand.

"I'm still not feeling well ..." she shook her head.

London became sorry to hear L's voice. The girl really sounded unwell. He lovingly lifted her body and sat her on the dining chair.

"Then you just rest here. I'll finish making our dinner, after that, we can eat and get married."

"Eh ... what did you say?" L asked, confused. She complied and did not object when her body was lifted into a chair and told to rest. 

Wait ... she didn't mishear that, did she?

Get married?

When?

"I told you, this is the last proposal, and I don't want to mess it up again. So, after dinner, we will get married right away," London answered firmly. He smiled thinly, kissed L on the cheek, and then went back to taking care of the ingredients while humming.

L could only furrow her brows, watching the man continue cooking as if he didn't just say they would get married after dinner.

Jeez ...

So many thoughts raged in L's mind as she watched London make salads, grill the steaks, and prepare mashed potatoes for them. In a short time, all the dishes were finished and immediately served at the dining table.

"Have a nice meal," said London. He scooped the salad onto L's plate and then poured wine for them. "Sorry, my proposal was not romantic, I did it spontaneously. But I'm glad you accepted it. Well ... eat a lot, after this, we will get married."

L was still speechless. All this felt so shocking. She could only eat slowly while constantly glancing toward her future husband, the father of her child.

Ah ... how could she be so lucky to have such a perfect man? A man who fell madly in love with her and didn't care about superficial things like most other men...

Even L herself was a superficial person. She still remembered, until a year ago, she was still determined to only marry a wealthy and powerful man to help her with her vengeance.

Now ... when she found such a husband, L realized that wealth and power were not actually that important to her. Evidenced by the warmth they shared together today. Whether they were in a humble apartment or a luxurious penthouse ... it felt exactly the same. As long as you're together with your loved ones. It was enough.

Feeling touched, L suddenly placed down her spoon on her plate and wiped her tears. Then, she kissed London's cheek lovingly. Afterward, she smiled and resumed eating.

London, who did not expect to be kissed suddenly, could only touch his cheek with an expression of surprise and p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e. He was happy to see L taking the initiative and kiss him first.

This must mean... L already felt comfortable with their relationship and no longer harbored negative thoughts about them.

Ahh .. seeing how the girl now behaved more m.a.t.u.r.ely, London felt that their marriage would go well. He couldn't wait to spend his whole life with this girl.

He wanted L to be the first person he saw when he opened his eyes every morning, and to be the last person he saw before he closed his eyes at night. He wanted to always hug her while they slept together, and listen to her singing every morning...

***

They finished eating at 6 pm, and as a gentleman, London kept his promise. He would not change his mind and would immediately marry L.

"Jan, are you downstairs? We're done eating, you can go up now." London called Jan as soon as they finished dinner. When he hung up, he saw L was about to clean up their cutlery and hurriedly prevented it. "There's no need for you to do it. We have some robot servants here that take care of everything. This place is completely automated."

He pressed a button on the kitchen counter, and soon, a robot servant came and began to move swiftly to clear the dishes.

"Oh ... how sophisticated," L commented "Oh, by the way... did you ask Jan to come here? What for?"

London smiled happily and hugged L. "I told Jan to come with the marriage registrar officer. He and Pammy will be witnesses to our wedding. What do you think? I can't wait to have the wedding in Stuttgart ... I'm afraid we'll jinx it again ... hahahaha..."

L was struck by London's explanation.

Gosh ... was this man really serious? Would this finally happen?

They finally get married... now??

"I'm going to get married looking like this?" L immediately panicked. In her mind, every bride should get married looking their best, like a queen for a day. But at that moment, she was wearing a blue top with a leather skirt and everyday sandal. Her hair wasn't even styled at all.

"You're very beautiful," said London. "You don't need superficial makeup to look pretty. I love you just the way you are."

L looked at London with a grateful expression and then looked down. "Thank you..."

London kissed her forehead and pulled L into his arms. "Finally, you will become my wife. Don't you dare... change your mind after this."
