Chapter 537 - Alaric And Lauriel (1/2)

But wasn't Alaric Rhionen dead?

And ... even if he was alive, shouldn't he, as a normal human being, be very old by now?

Questions after questions raged in his mind. Lauriel was really eager for the answers.

”Uncle Rory ... I can't marry Nic ... My husband is still alive,” replied Aleksis. ”I'm sorry.”

”Aleksis ...?” Lauriel approached her, trying to reach Aleksis but Alaric brushed his hand away harshly.

”I am telling you, if you take another step, I will not hesitate.” Wearing an ice-cold expression on his face, Alaric pulled out his gun.

Aleksis was surprised by the fact that Alaric pulled out a gun in front of his own father. She reflexively brushed off her husband's hand and rebuked him, ”Alaric, you can't do that to your father!”

Aleksis' words stunned Lauriel.

”Fa ... father?” He frowned trying to make sure he had not misheard. ”What did you say just now?”

Alaric lowered his gun and sighed. He then rubbed Aleksis' hair lovingly and whispered to her ear, ”Let's get out of here.”

The girl nodded. She felt that this was not the right place to talk properly. Alaric easily lifted her up and walked away from his father who was still standing by the lake.

Yes. Lauriel was still rooted in his spot even though he could see the two people going further and further away.

In an instant, a beautiful face that he had forgotten for a long time crossed his mind. Luna's image which he had buried for a long time in the deepest part of his heart now resurfaced in his memory.

The man who was with Aleksis had a pair of purple eyes ... and he also possessed a face that had smooth and delicate lines similar to that of a woman. All of these reminded him of Luna, his deceased girlfriend.

Did ... did Luna give birth to another child?

”Wait...!!” Lauriel ran after them.

Lauriel's hand fell on Alaric's shoulder when he caught up to both of them. His touch was gentle, there was no hint of hostility, so Alaric finally stopped and looked at him.

”Is ... is ... Luna ...?” Lauriel could not finish his sentence. He was too emotional and no words could convey what was in his heart. He was very shaken. He could see himself in the young man before him. Even without DNA testing, he knew this young man was his biological child, his flesh and blood.

Alaric was stunned after seeing Lauriel's eyes were filled with tears. His face was showing deep sorrow.

”Luna is my mother,” the younger of the two men answered shortly.

The two looked at each other. In such close proximity, Alaric could see how sad his father's blue-green eyes were. His heart began to feel moved. He didn't expect Lauriel to be this sad upon meeting him.

”Do you know who your father is?” Lauriel asked in an urgent voice. He suspected this young man was his child, but he had to hear it directly from Alaric's mouth.

”My father is Lauriel Medici,” Alaric answered in a firm tone. ”But I know you don't want me, so I've never looked for you.”

Lauriel was surprised by Alaric's words.

”How can you say that?” Lauriel felt his chest tighten seeing the hate in Alaric's eyes. He felt surprised but happy because he actually had a second child. However, at the same time, his heart was breaking from remembering what happened 10 years ago ...

He finally understood why Alaric thought that he didn't want him.

It must be because of that incident from ten years ago ... If he was really Alaric Rhionen ... then, it meant that ten years ago, Lauriel had 'killed' his own son.
