Chapter 521 - Im A Doctor. My Handwriting is Notoriously Ugly! (1/2)
Aleksis would be marrying Nicolae next month, yet again, she was reminded of Alaric today. Her eyes looked down, not daring to look at Nicolae due to her guilt of thinking of another man in front of her future husband. Nicolae, who saw her getting awkward, immediately distracted the girl by kissing her hair.
”Hmm... My wife is very beautiful today.” He then sat next to Aleksis as if nothing had happened. ”So, let's split the job. I'll read the names, and you'll write them on the cards.”
Aleksis smiled at Nicolae's understanding attitude and nodded. ”Alright... But I'll be the one to read, and you'll be the one to write. Your handwriting is much better than mine.”
”How come? I'm a doctor, you know... My handwriting is notoriously ugly.” Nicolae scratched his head that didn't feel itchy at all. Aleksis shook her head and took a pen and a paper to prove that her writing was worse than Nicolae's.
The two looked at each other.
”Gosh, your handwriting is indeed ugly,” Nicolae commented. ”Mine too. I'm afraid these people will feel offended if they can't read their own names on the invitation cards.”
Even though it was the modern times and most people chose to send e-invitations or e-mails, the Schneider family always chose to use traditional handwritten invitations because it showed the prestige of their family.
High-class and opulent families maintain a tradition of sending invitations like this because they look personal, classy, and luxurious.
That was why both of them were also following the old family tradition, writing their own invitations for their wedding party next month. Unfortunately, both Aleksis and Nicolae were both ”gifted” with such handwritings.
”How about we ask Vega and Altair to do it? Their handwritings are much better than mine,” Aleksis commented, ”We can give them a reward after.”
Nicolae chuckled at Aleksis' suggestion and nodded, ”Okay. They've been whining non stop asking for a puppy. I can give that as a reward for them taking care of this invitation.”
”Puppy?” Aleksis was stunned. She suddenly missed her long-deceased dog. Little Prince Siegfried died of old age two years ago, and she and her children were aggrieved because of that.
Ah... Yeah. It's been two years, maybe it's time to give a new dog to Altair and Vega.
”Alright, good idea.” Aleksis nodded. She then called Altair and Vega, who were digging something in the yard. ”Hey... Kids, come here. What are you two doing?”
”Chasing a rabbit, Mom,” answered Vega enthusiastically. ”We just saw two!”
”Oh... Would you like to have a new puppy?” Aleksis asked with a smile.
”What? Puppyyy???” The two children exchanged glances. A moment later, they sped towards Aleksis, leaving their rabbit chase behind.
”I'll get you whatever puppies you want if you sit here for an hour and help Dad write something,” Nicolae explained when the two children arrived in front of him.
”Is that true???” I want it!!! ”Vega had jumped happily towards Nic who just arrived.” I want a Great Dane!!”
”I want a mini-bulldog like Little Prince Siegfried,” Altair voiced, clinging to Nicolae's arm.
