Chapter 675 - I Win!
The process of moving Lily to the house took place quite smoothly and quickly. Within two hours after London arrived at the hospital to pick up L and their child, everything had been taken care of. At 8 pm, Lily had been lying comfortably in her incubator in the private NICU room at her parents' house.
L and London both felt touched because they were finally able to reunite with their baby in their own home, and did not need to go to the hospital every day.
After Lily was given b.r.e.a.s.tmilk and her vital signs were checked, the two nurses who took care of her took their leave to arrange their belongings in their respective pavilions.
Starting at 10 pm, they would work alternately to watch Lily in the NICU room, so that the baby's parents could rest.
"Hmmm ... I'm glad Lily has come home," L whispered, staring at Lily, who lay still in her incubator. "I want to hold her and kiss her ..."
London understood L's feelings because he was feeling the same way. Right now, they could only keep that d.e.s.i.r.e for themselves. As long as Lily was still a micro-prem.a.t.u.r.e baby and her body was still very weak, they couldn't hug her.
They have to be patient and wait for several months.
"Do you want to have dinner now?" asked London, getting up from his seat. "I want to tell you about the job interview while having dinner with you."
L nodded. "Hmm ..."
The two then walked out of Lily's NICU room and entered the kitchen. London brought food from the Schneider Mansion and heated it in the microwave. He was sure L would like his father's cooking.
"Sorry, I didn't make our dinner. I had a chance to stop by my relatives' house, and they were cooking my favorite dish, so I thought, why not just bring some of it here ..." he said as he arranged the food at the dinner table.
L nodded. "It's okay. I know you're busy today."
She helped London organize their plates and cutlery, and a moment later, they were already seated at a dining table filled with sumptuous dishes.
Their dining room had large sliding glass doors and overlooked the swimming pool. The door was now opened and they could see the atmosphere outside. There was still so much light outside.
The sun in the summer set around 9 or 10 pm so their dinner this time was lit by the beautiful sunset. However, London still lighted candles on their dining table to create a romantic atmosphere.
"I think I aced the interview. I am confident about the result. They told me that they would contact me no later than a week to let me know whether I got the job or not," London said after finishing the main course and taking out a chocolate cake from the fridge as the dessert.
"Hmm ... that sounds good," L. replied. She took a piece of chocolate cake and enjoyed it quietly. London was happy to see L in a good mood.
They then enjoyed chocolate cake and dessert wine to end their first dinner at their new home. At precisely 10 pm, when dinner was almost over, London looked at his watch and counted silently.
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4,
"Three ... two ... one ..." He turned his gaze out and a mischievous smile curved upon his lips.
"What are you looking at?" L asked, looking puzzled.
London didn't answer, and L also didn't urge him to answer. The girl had seen drops of rain pouring down on the garden before them. The water ripples adorned the swimming pool beautifully.
Jan was always on time. The rain requested by London was sent precisely at 10 pm.
L involuntarily got up from her chair and walked out. She closed her eyes and smelled the rain outside. The petrichor bacteria in the ground produced the distinctive scent when the rain came, and she loved it.
It was very easy to make L happy, the man thought. Look at her happy face, and her rare smile adorn her face just because it was raining ...
"Ahh ... this is really fun," L said in a happy voice.
She opened her eyes and turned to speak to London when suddenly the girl remembered the bet they made yesterday.
Unconsciously her hands touched her slightly open lips, and her face turned red. L's face clearly ill.u.s.trated that she had remembered their bet yesterday, and she realized that she had lost. Her beautiful face and sparkling black eyes looked surprised.
Gosh ... whatever self-control London still had within him, had gone the moment he saw L's adorable expression. He walked close to L's body and looked into her eyes with his sparkling blue eyes.
"I win," said the young man in a voice that could not hide his joy.
L did not reply. She looked down, and her cheeks flushed red. London felt his temperature rise just by seeing L blushing, and his l.u.s.t crept in, but he held back with all his might.
He cannot do more than just kissing L. That girl just gave birth ...
London gently touched L's chin and lifted it, then slowly lowered his face to kiss L's half-open lips.
The kiss was very sweet, gentle and lasted long enough. If he didn't remember that they needed to breathe, London would certainly never let go of L's lips. He seemed to never have enough of her lips or their kisses.
His tongue explored L's mouth and she let out soft m.o.a.ns several times from her lips which immediately made London realize that he had to end it.
If he waited until another ten seconds, maybe he could succ.u.mb to his l.u.s.t and carry L to his bedroom to do indecent things to her.
When their lips parted and their faces were only a few centimeters away from each other, London looked at L lovingly, while the girl stared back at him with a complicated look.
Then, unexpectedly, a moment later a faint smile crossed L's lips.
