Chapter 635 - Lunch Date (1/2)

Nicolae incessantly sighed as he checked himself in the mirror. He only had two pairs of jeans that weren't ripped jeans and one formal suit, so it was actually not that difficult to choose what to wear for this lunch date. Just take the suit and one of his jeans, and he was done.

It's just that... he hadn't been dating for a long time. Last year, he still went out on dates with Aleksis, but their relationship was already so close that he didn't need to dress up and deliberately wore formal attire. He knew Aleksis liked him the way he was.

Ugh... Cold sweat trickled down Nicolae's forehead as he thought about Aleksis.

He must forget the woman he loved because Aleksis was Alaric's wife, his biological brother's wife.

Even Altair and Vega understood that Nicolae had to find another woman to anchor his heart so he could forget their mother.

”All right, Daddy is ready. What do you think?” Nicolae asked as he came out of his room and asked for the opinions of his two children.

Vega and Altair squinted their eyes, then nodded in approval.

”Daddy, you look so handsome. That auntie will faint because she didn't think she'll be so lucky to have lunch with such a handsome man.” Vega giggled. She then pulled Nicolae's hand out the door. ”Let's go. It's bad to make a woman wait.”

Nicolae knew his children had deliberately booked a table at the Sky Bar for the date this afternoon. In addition to being a very exclusive place that could impress her, they will also find it easier to wait for Nicolae to finish because they only need to go to the penthouse and wait with their uncles.

”Uncle Terry, Uncle London, and Uncle Rune are all waiting for us at the penthouse,” Altair told him. ”Daddy should just go straight to Sky Bar later, we can go up by ourselves.”

”You... you guys are still little. Let me take you there,” Nicolae refused.

”No need, Uncle Rune will meet us in the lobby,” Altair replied.

Nicolae finally relented. He got out of the taxi with his two children then walked into the lobby of the Continental Building.

For a moment, he was stunned in front of the building. He remembered the events ten years ago, when he was still posing as a student in Singapore and met Aleksis, then met Terry. So many things had changed in such a long time.

Now, he returned here with the two children he considered his own kids. The twins who were very similar to his brother, who had become the enemy hunted by his family ten years ago.

”Welcome,” Rune greeted Nicolae and his nephew and niece. He looked even more serious than the last time Nicolae had met him. He carried Vega and guided Altair's hand eagerly. ”You guys are here. What a coincidence. I have a new invention that needs a little test validation... hehehe...”

Vega and Altair chattered to Rune about their lives in Singapore and how they cleverly hacked the age restrictions on an a.d.u.l.t dating website and created a profile for their father, who hadn't dated women for a long time.

”Wow... you guys are very scary,” Rune commented. ”Uh, remember, your Uncle Rune don't need to find a partner. I am happy living alone.”

He glanced at Nicolae, who rolled his eyes in an attempt to hold back his unhappiness.

”I'm happy living alone, too,” Nicolae said, looking at his children in annoyance. ”If it wasn't because you two had your birthdays, I wouldn't have relented like this... Only three times. Three times.”

Altair and Vega didn't feel discouraged at all. They knew Nicolae could never refuse whatever they asked, so the two felt that they could do anything. Both of them knew better that Nicolae was NOT happy living alone. That's why they were now trying to find him a partner.

Before Nicolae met Aleksis, he had never wanted to have a serious relationship with any woman and kept his distance, because he didn't know he was an alchemist who could live forever.

But now, he didn't need to be afraid to establish a love relationship with anyone, including ordinary people, because Aldebar would provide the immortality potion for the woman of Nicolae's choice, so they could be together forever.

It was time for Nicolae to open his heart. People said the best way to forget a woman was to look for another, even a few women if necessary, so his wounded heart could slowly recover and be ready to receive new love.

Altair and Vega just wanted to see their father happy.

Reluctantly, Nicolae stepped out on the 99th floor and headed to Moonshine Restaurant, while Rune and his nephew and niece proceeded to the 100th floor, heading for the penthouse.

A waiter welcomed Nicolae at the entrance of Sky Bar and invited him inside. Apparently, the twins had booked the best table with tall glass walls, which gave a view of the entire city of Singapore from a height of 100 floors. His date hadn't arrived yet because Nicolae arrived ten minutes early.
