Chapter 577 - Finally Happy (1/2)

Alaric noticed that during those few days, Aleksis had indeed become very s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e. She was easy to cry, but also easy to feel touched. When Alaric brought her a bunch of flowers from the balcony of their penthouse, the girl pursed her lips in tears and her eyes glistened.

”The flowers are beautiful... you're really thoughtful. I'm so lucky...” She then kissed Alaric and hugged the flowers to her c.h.e.s.t. Irresistible tears dripped down her cheeks.

There was another time when Alaric tried to cook something for her. Aleksis was moved to tears again because she knew Alaric couldn't cook. ”This is soooooo good... You learned to cook for me...”

Eventually, Alaric became accustomed to them and no longer worried about seeing Aleksis cry over little things. He just laughed and hugged his wife instead of trying to tell her to stop crying. For some reason, whenever the girl cried, she just looked even more beautiful and sparkling. Even Alaric himself couldn't explain it.

He didn't like it when his wife was sad, but since he knew there was nothing he could do, he could only accept it. Plus, Aleksis actually looked even more adorable, so he didn't really mind. After all, PMS usually only lasts a few days, he thought.

After three days in Bucharest, they flew to Yorkshire to meet Lauriel and Nicolae, who came to bring the twins to visit the Linden family palace, and especially the grave of Luna Linden, their mother.

After learning that Luna was buried near the Linden family palace in Yorkshire, Lauriel needed several weeks to prepare his heart to visit the grave of the woman he loved.

During the past month, he isolated himself and cried ceaselessly. He was indeed happy to find his children, but their presence tore open the old wounds from when Luna left him forever.

Nicolae and Alaric were born on the day Luna died. Luna died to give her children life.

Now, Lauriel was finally ready, and so he decided to gather his children together so they could talk about their mother.

***

Alaric and Aleksis arrived an hour after his father and brother. Lauriel and Nicolae welcomed Alaric and Aleksis with warm hugs and a glass of wine. Altair and Vega seemed elated to meet their mother, but Aleksis could see that they remained healthy and happy while staying with Nicolae. This touched her, causing her to cry again.

”Thank you... You're so kind to my children, you took really good care of them...” She said to Nicolae, sobbing, causing Nicolae also feel confused. He turned to Alaric and mouthed a question, silently asking his brother what was happening.

P-M-S, Alaric said also without a sound.

Nicolae was flabbergasted. He looked at Aleksis for a long time and then looked at Alaric.

”Stop drinking wine...” he said as he took the glass of wine from Aleksis' hand. The girl frowned and pursed her lips.

”Why? I'm thirsty,” she protested.

Nicolae hurriedly took the glass and poured juice for Aleksis and handed it to her. ”Just drink this, it's healthier.”

Aleksis wanted to protest again, but instead, her tears streamed down.

”Uhm... I know you're a doctor, but it won't hurt for a woman to drink wine when she has PMS,” Alaric said, trying to defend his wife.

He hurriedly got up and hugged Aleksis. That was what he usually did when he saw his wife crying because he knew that no matter how hard he persuaded, her crying wouldn't subside unless Aleksis stopped herself.

Nicolae frowned and shook his head. ”I've seen Aleksis having PMS for four years, so I know how she acts when she has it... and it's not like what you expect. How long has she been like this?”

Alaric shrugged, ”Over a week...”

”PMS only lasts for a maximum of two days. And so far, Aleksis has never been s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e and prone to crying when she has PMS... Usually, she gets angry and buys shoes.”

Alaric was actually annoyed to hear that his brother knew Aleksis' habits and life more than he did, because they were indeed together for longer, while he had only reunited with his wife for a month. But he refrained from appearing annoyed in front of Aleksis.

Alaric frowned as a sign of not understanding. ”But from what I read, these all seem like PMS symptoms.”

”Similar doesn't mean the same,” Nicolae said again. ”Believe me, I've been with Aleksis for years...”

”What is this then?” Alaric asked in confusion. ”Could it be...?”

A moment later, his eyes widened.
