Chapter 544 - True Love Means Letting Go (1/2)

For Alaric, nothing else mattered in this world, apart from getting his Aleksis back. The children were just nice bonuses. He never knew that he had two kids with his wife.

He was very surprised. He felt his chest churn in excitement when he found out that the two adorable children were his own flesh and blood ...

But the feeling of euphoria disappeared soon since reality hit him cruelly. His children had never felt his presence as a father and so they had considered another man as such.

Although his heart ached because they could not yet accept him, he must tolerate this fact since he was not in their lives for ten years. He must be fair and let Nicolae be the father chosen by his children. He could not force his way in.

True love means letting go. He would never force his kids to love him back ...

”Uncle Lavender ...” Aleksis and Alaric were shocked when they heard Altair, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up, ”Are you really my father?”

Alaric faced the boy and nodded. ”I believe so...”

”Ah ... alright.” Altair stretched out his hand again and took Alaric's right hand.

”You ... you don't reject me?” Alaric asked in amazement. ”You're not afraid of me?”

Altair shook his head. In fact, he was happy to find out that the uncle he had met this afternoon was his father. He could see himself in Alaric and felt an instant connection between them.

He was very happy because after he grew up, he knew that he would grow strong and handsome like his father. It wouldn't matter if right now he looked like a girl. My father must have looked like me when he was young too, he thought.

Tears welled up from Alaric's eyes as he knelt and hugged Altair very tightly.

”Oh ... my son...” he whispered in a hoarse voice.

For the first time in several years, Alaric let his emotions fully show. He hugged and then kissed the boy's cheeks.

This was his son, conceived by his love with the only woman he loves. If fate had not separated them, Alaric would have done everything for Aleksis and his children, including sacrificing his life.

Unfortunately, he was separated from his family without knowing this important information ...

He didn't know ...

He did not know that he was not alone ...

”I'll talk to you for as long as you want. I'll make you see lavender whenever you want.” Alaric promised with a smile. Within a very short span of time, his face that was cold and always wearing a flat expression began to show happiness and a variety of other expressions at once.
