Chapter 551 - We Are Late. So Late! (R-18) (1/2)

Alaric tried to stay still so as to not wake up Aleksis who looked very soundly asleep. He decided to continue lying down to enjoy the warmth of her body in his arms.

A couple of moments later, he caught sight of the digital clock on the wall which was telling him that it was already 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Hmm ... the wedding party should have started by now. Why didn't anyone come to wake us up? he wondered.

He then smiled when he realized that the rest of his family had tacitly let him and Aleksis rest.

His family ...

Ah, that was a word that was very foreign to him, but very soothing.

Alaric remembered that for almost a hundred years he always felt lonely. The feeling persisted until he met Aleksis. Then again, they immediately got separated since back then, they were both thinking that the other had died. After that, like a broken kite, Alaric returned to being alone.

He did enjoy the attention and affection from Portia who adopted him as a son, but it was not the same. He still needed time to be able to accept Ned and Portia as his family.

But yesterday, not only did he meet his wife again, but he also met his biological father who turned out to love him very much. He also met his brother, Nicolae, who was so kind. The man even encouraged him to be happy again with Aleksis. Ned and Portia had also settled their misunderstanding with Lauriel. It all ended with everyone at peace with each other ...

Ahh ... and Alaric also had two very cute kids! He now felt like he was the luckiest man in the whole wide world. He was one of the wealthiest and most powerful men under the sun today, but all of that meant nothing… compared to this woman and their beautiful children.

And ... later, he and Aleksis would have more children to fill their home with happiness and joy. He would ask her to give him many children to compensate for all the loneliness they had experienced so far. He would make sure that their home would always be filled with the happy laughter of their children.

Ah, Altair and Vega clearly inherited his appearance. Since that was the case, he hoped that their next offspring would resemble Aleksis. He really wanted to see a little Aleksis running around them ...

All these thoughts made him smile so happily.

”Uhmm ... good morning,” Aleksis opened her eyes and greeted him. When she saw his smile, her lips also arced up as she asked, ”How was your sleep?”

Alaric did not answer. He kissed Aleksis' forehead and closed his eyes.

”Hmm ... what time is it?” Aleksis asked again. Alaric even tightened his arms, still not answering. Aleksis then looked at the clock on the wall and was immediately stunned. ”Oh my god!! It's 2 o'clock in the afternoon!!!”

Her reaction made the man laugh. Aleksis was dumbfounded. She very rarely saw Alaric laugh, so the sight instantly became something special for her. She was mesmerized to see her handsome man look very happy.
