Caroline and London's talk stopped because the chef had started serving food for them. It was a seven-course dinner, and each dish was served one by one. Every single one of them was prepared with the best organic ingredients by world-class chefs.

Throughout the dinner, Caroline was truly made mesmerized by London Schneider. They talked about trivial things and didn't mention Danny Swann at all.

At 9 pm, when dinner was finally over, London called Marc to the penthouse and take Caroline home.

"It was a really nice dinner tonight. I'm glad you came here. Sorry, I can't drive you home myself. I still have some important meetings to attend. But, thank you for coming. Marc will drive you back to your hotel." London smiled and opened the door for Caroline. "When you have arrived at your hotel safely, please let me know."

"Of course. I understand that someone like you must be very busy," Caroline said with a smile. "Thank you for getting me a driver. I'll call you."

As soon as Caroline left the penthouse, London immediately returned to Grunewald. He had heard that dinner between L and his family had been very pleasant.

"How was your business? All done?" L asked as she welcomed London when the man arrived home.

"Uh, my business's settled. What about Lily?" London kissed L's lips and poked his head into L's room.

"Lily is already asleep," L said. "I want to get her used to sleeping in her own room. I had fed her milk and lulled her to sleep. Then I let her sleep in her own bed in the nursery room."

London was very happy to hear that. "What a great idea! I love our baby very much, but it seems we will be able to do a.d.u.l.t things freely when Lily is sleeping in her own room. You can read my mind, apparently ... hehe."

L pinched London's waist and chuckled when she heard her husband's words.

"You...! I am getting her used to sleeping in her own room to train her to be independent. It is not for us to do l.e.w.d things. You pervert..."

London did not dodge his wife's pinch. L was right, anyway. He always had perverted thoughts whenever he was near her. Can't blame him, though.. L was so s.e.xy. Not his fault.

"Can we hear Lily if she woke up in the middle of the night?" he asked her. "Is the baby monitor installed in Lily's room?"

"It is. If she woke up because of hunger or something else, we would be able to hear immediately," L nodded.

"Ah .. thank God. I'm so glad to hear that. You really are the best wife and mother in the world." London lifted his wife to the air and landed another kiss on her lips. "How did dinner with my parents go?"

"Very nice. Oh, by the way... we are invited to have dinner at their house tomorrow," answered L.

"Hmmm, I can't do tomorrow night." London shrugged. "Tomorrow is the opening for the medical conference organized by Jan. I will present my speech in the event. Don't forget that you will also be performing at the gala dinner tomorrow night."

"Oh, I thought you would cancel it for your parents."

"If it's another event, I might cancel it. But tomorrow's event is quite important. So we can't have dinner with my parents. I will tell mom to reschedule for the day after tomorrow."

"Alright, then." L nodded. She asked to be lowered to the ground and then pulled her husband's hand into their bedroom. "Looks like you will be very busy tomorrow. So you should get some rest soon. It's already late."

"Oh... that's right. We should immediately 'get some rest' before Lily suddenly wakes up in the middle of the night," said London, coughing a little.

"Haishh ... I really meant to say rest, okay. There is no hidden agenda. Your mind is surely filled with dirty things," L said from the room. "Hummphh .. what are you doing ?? I'm not ready!!"

"Wahahaha ... don't blame me. It's your fault for being so s.e.xy.."

Soon, L's incessant m.o.a.ns could be heard from inside their bedroom, accompanied by the sound of the bed creaking and two people panting.

The next morning the long-awaited day finally arrived. London was very busy listening to various reports from Jan about the conference.

"Sir, you will deliver the opening speech at 10 am. Then, the conference will begin. I have also prepared a luncheon with several keynote speakers, including John Wendell," Jan said after ending his report. "One more thing, I also sent a message to Danny Swann to meet Caroline at the conference. He will come after lunch."

"Very good." London has seen John Wendell several times through photos and videos sent to him. But today would be the first opportunity for him to meet face to face with the evil man who had made L an orphan. He must be able to keep his cool and not burst in anger in front of the man.

The medical conference held by the Schneider Group attracted the attention of many media. They sponsored this event to promote collaboration among hospitals in Europe. The Schneider Group will also give a huge contribution to child health programs, which would fund many programs in selected hospitals.

All parties wanted to be the chosen hospital, as well as establishing good relations with Schneider Group. Therefore, there were many doctors involved in this conference, couldn't wait to meet directly with London Schneider, who would be opening the conference.

"Are you serious?" asked John Wendell to Caroline as they both took seats at one of the honorary tables. "If so ... you are really lucky."

"That's right, Father. We met again last night at his place. He was really impressive. Danny is nothing compared to London Schneider." Caroline smiled faintly as she remembered her conversation last night with London. "He had openly stated that he is interested in me. It's just that he didn't want to fight over women with other men. You understand, how could someone in his level compete for women? I convinced him that Danny and I are not in a relationship. "

"Have you told Danny about it?" asked John Wendell, narrowing his eyes.

"Not yet. But I will tell him tonight after the gala dinner is over."

"Good. I think, he is not the right man for you. He has failed to secure his inheritance from that lowly girl. How can he take care of you ..." John nodded. "You must focus on getting Mr. Schneider's heart. If Danny gave you trouble, Dad will take care of him."

"Thank you, Dad..." Caroline nodded in agreement.
