London kept his promise, and the next day he took L to the shelter to choose a puppy from there. There were so many cute ones, and if she didn't have such good self-control, they would have adopted all of them.

She kept saying, "Ohh... how cute! Oh my God... this one is adorable. Gosh, I love that one!!"

The man just smiled happily from the side. He let L play with so many dogs and puppies while he watched her looking like a kid. He realized that L lost so many years, where she was supposed to enjoy life as a child. She was robbed of her family and her childhood.

The thought made him so angry. He had a lovely and happy childhood with his siblings. He wished L could have had the same.

After two hours of playing with the puppies and struggle to choose the one, she finally got herself a beagle puppy. She kept smiling all the way back to their home. When she smiled, London unconsciously smiled too.

"I'm so happy!!"

London was stunned by L's cry when he just got out of the car. She was carrying the beagle they had just adopted from a shelter, and her face looked radiant. He had never seen L shout and laugh like that.

"I'm happy if you're happy," the young man replied. He took the beagle from L's hand and strap his collar. "What will you name it?"

L knelt beside him and stroked their beagle. "Hmm ... I'll name it 'Yves'. Because I'm a big fan of Billie Yves."

London hiccupped when he heard L's words. He was not sure that Auntie Billie would be glad that her name was used for a dog. But he did not say anything. He could only hope that Auntie Billie would forgive L when they met ...

"That is such a nice name ..." he said while holding back his hiccups. He had settled the puppy's leash and handed it to L. "Do you want to take him for a walk in the garden? Let Yves know our house."

L nodded. She took Yves's leash from London's hand, but before she could touch it, Yves had seen a squirrel outside of their gate that had not yet been closed.

With all his strength, the jolly and healthy dog ??had jumped and run after the squirrel.

"Hey! Yves !! Stop!! Where are you going??" L, who was startled, had to hold on to London so she wouldn't fall. After her shock was gone, she hurriedly chased after her dog.

London was stunned for two seconds before realizing what was happening. He immediately ran after L, who ran after Yves, who ran after the squirrel. The scene was very interesting because a beautiful dog was chased by a beautiful girl, followed by a handsome young man.

The squirrel ran energetically to the nearest tree in front of the gate of a large mansion. It immediately climbed the tallest branch it could reach. Yves stood under the tree and kept barking to scare the squirrel.

L, who finally arrived, leaned forward, resting on her knees, breathing heavily. London, who came after L, immediately tried to catch Yves. Unfortunately, the dog was faster than him, and he dashed toward the mansion's gate.

BING...

"Eh ...?"

London was stunned when he arrived in front of the gate to catch Yves, suddenly the gate opened automatically.

Damn damn damn ...

He forgot the Schneider family's mansion was equipped with an automatic facial recognition system. The gate would open automatically if a family member arrived. As he approached the entrance to catch their naughty beagle ... the gate recognized his presence and automatically opened.

L who walked up to the front of the gate looked as surprised as London.

"The gate opened..." the girl said in surprise. London immediately grabbed L's hand and tried to pull her away, but L had already seen what was inside the courtyard of the grande mansion.

"Who is it?"

Rune turned to look and found Caspar walking while holding an apron. He was cooking something, and they could smell something delicious in the air. London and L also looked in the same direction.

London could only freeze on the spot when he realized his brother was in front of him and L, while his father was walking toward them.

Cold sweat ran down his back.

L involuntarily squeezed London's hand, which was holding hers, and her voice sounded surprised.

"Killian ... That's Mr. Rune Schneider ..." Her other hand was pointing at Rune.

London was still frozen in his place, not knowing what to say. His mouth agape, but no sound came out. He could only look at his brother with a look of despair.

It's over ...

L would find out everything today...

L pulled London's hand and walked over toward Rune, who was just as surprised to see them.

"Sir ... Mr. London Schneider?" L asked in a doubtful voice. She looked at Rune and Caspar alternately and immediately patted her forehead. "I am very pleased to meet you. I saw you at the summer festival with Mr. Rune. Thank you for all your help so far ..."

L hurriedly greeted Caspar with a radiant face.

"Eh ...?" London was stunned by L's attitude. Apparently, she thought his father was him. Rune also looked confused.

Caspar warmly greeted L and patted her shoulder. "I'm happy to meet you, Miss L."

"I'm the one who is very happy," L said shyly. Sh then pulled London closer to Caspar and forced him to greet Caspar. "Killian, this is Mr. London Schneider, he is the..."

A moment later, L seemed transfixed. She looked at Caspar and London alternately. Her face was filled with confusion.
