Chapter 482 - Lauriel Can Make A Joke? (1/2)

At first, Nicolae thought he would feel awkward dealing with Aleksis children. He had even started thinking of excuses so he could avoid them ... but now, when the two little angels stood before him, he subconsciously, and so naturally, hugged them very tightly.

So Aleksis gave birth to twins, he mused. They were so beautiful. And their facial features were not at all like her... which meant their faces took after their father. Nicolae felt surprised because he actually didn't feel bothered by this fact at all.

He fell in love with the two children as soon as he saw them.

”Hello. I am very happy to meet you. What are your names?” Nicolae greeted Altair and Vega in a very soft voice. His face glowed with both fondness and adoration.

”I'm Altair, Uncle. You have a good voice. You sound like a star,” said Altair. Nicolae was stunned by what he just heard. He did not understand.

”I'm Vega.” Vega smiled very sweetly.

Her smile could melt even the coldest heart, let alone Nicolae's gentle one. The young man smiled so wide that his face started to hurt. He was truly happy to be surrounded by these two children.

Aleksis immediately lowered her head and whispered to Nicolae's ear, ”Your father is looking for you, he plans to end the party. You should go and see him now.”

Nicolae sighed and then nodded. He hurried to his feet and subconsciously carried the two children, each in his right and left arm.

”Eh ...?” The three looked at each other in surprise.

”You're so strong,” Vega complimented him. She hugged Nicolae's shoulder so that her body position became balanced. Altair copied his sister. The two kids then comfortably latched onto Nicolae and eagerly ordered him to walk to bring them to Grandpa Rory.

”Alright, you show me the way,” Nicolae replied obediently.

Lauriel who saw the arrival of his son with two little monkeys in both arms sighed deeply. He no longer knew how to make Nicolae forget about Aleksis seeing that he was now actually getting along with her two kids.

Aleksis was still stunned by the departure of the three. So Kit, who was so annoyed to see Nicolae leave, walked to her side and nudged her by the waist.

”Hey, why are you still standing here? Didn't you hear me asking you for a drink? I'm a guest, you know... Don't let the host leave a bad impression on the ones they invited,” she said in a high voice. Terry was surprised to see his sister being treated like a maid but before he could say something, Aleksis raised her hand and signaled him not to interfere.

”Just a moment, I will call the waiter to bring some drinks here. Sorry for the inconvenience.” Aleksis still replied nicely. She then raised her hand and motioned several servants to come with the drink trays.

She knew there was no point fighting with an insignificant guest like this girl. Aleksis already considered herself one of the hosts as she was one of those who helped Lauriel prepare for this party. So of course, she had to be friendly to all the guests.

Kit seemed unsatisfied with Aleksis' answer. She kept her hands on her hips until the waiter came over to bring a tray of drinks and serve her and other guests. After Kit took a glass of red wine from the tray, she walked over to Aleksis and pretended to have accidentally tripped and spilled her wine on her clothes.

”Heiiii !! What are you doing?” Aleksis exclaimed in surprise. She suspected that the annoying girl intentionally poured the red wine on her, but she could not prove it. Aleksis was very upset because her clothes were now dirty and her body felt sticky.

”Why are you still there? Quickly clean up the spilled wine!” grumbled Kit rudely. ”If you are working for me, I would have fired you by now.”

The other girls looked sorry for Aleksis but they did not want to defend her since they were also thinking that she was only a staff member in the Medici family's home. Terry glared at Kit and immediately gave his handkerchief to Aleksis so she could wipe her hand off the wine so it wouldn't feel sticky.

”Did you bring a change of clothes?” he asked attentively.
