Chapter 637 - Misunderstanding (1/2)

Nicolae was astonished at Marie's words that were so shocking. He did not expect the two girls to suspect him of anything just because he was so perfect. He watched the girl who now instead casually placed her hands on her waist and stared at him in a probing look.

Marie was a very cool girl. She wore a white tank top with ripped jeans and red boots. Her style actually reminded Nicolae of his everyday appearance. This girl looked rather quirky and her expression made Nicolae want to pinch her nose in exasperation.

”What if I am? And what if I'm not?” Nicolae asked back. He crossed his arms on his c.h.e.s.t and smiled at Marie.

Sanna felt uneasy and hurriedly took hold of Nicolae's hand and tried to persuade the man to forget what he had just heard.

”I'm sorry, this friend of mine, she was just joking. It's just a misunderstanding.” Sanna then turned to Marie, ”It was my fault. He can't be a serial killer... He has two kids.”

Marie frowned and looked at Nicolae from head to toe with a look of disbelief.

”You just believe what he said?? Oh, Sanna, you are so naive,” Marie said impatiently and in a voice so fast almost without punctuation that Nicolae suspected the girl had forgotten how to breathe.

”You forget that the most famous serial killers are handsome and charming. Ted Bundy for example ... They will deliberately display a certain persona to attract the sympathy of potential victims. By claiming to be a single parent, he managed to attract your sympathy, right? Just look, if I hadn't come, maybe tonight you would have been r.a.p.ed in an empty building's bas.e.m.e.nt and become his s.e.x slave for a year before he kills you and throws your body into the sea to become shark food to get rid of the evidence.”

Sanna and Nicolae's faces were both filled with horror at Marie's silly accusations. Nicolae, who had been patient enough, finally could only shake his head and raise his hand.

”Whatever you say. I don't need to prove anything to you ...”

Sanna was still trying to coax him and held Nicolae's hand apologetically.

”Please, forgive my friend ... she's a fan of conspiracy theories ..” she whispered. ”She didn't mean it.”

”If he really has kids, let him bring his kids here, then I'll believe him!” blurted Marie. ”Don't you feel suspicious at all? This person claimed to be older, but he still looks like a student, and now he also claimed to have two children as well. How could you believe everything he said?!”

”Aaaahhhhhh ...!!!”

Right at that moment, there was a scream and the sound of falling objects.

”Ouchhh....”

Nicolae, who was very familiar with Vega's voice, immediately turned his head and ran to the direction where the sound came from. His face looked very relieved when he saw London lying on the floor while Altair and Vega were on top of his body.

Apparently the two children fell from the wall and landed on their uncle's body who had fallen first. Nicolae was very relieved that Altair and Vega were unharmed. He hurried over to them.

Earlier, London and his nephew and niece were just trying to climb up the wall and sneak into the Sky Bar to eavesdrop further because they saw the commotion between Nicolae and the two girls.

However, due to his loss of balance, London fell first and Altair and Vega fell on top of him.

”Gosh ... What are you all doing here???” Nicolae asked in amazement. He helped Vega and Altair get up and ignored London who stretched out his hand to ask for help.

”Hey, why didn't you help me?” London protested.

”You are an a.d.u.l.t, okay. You should have set a good example ...” Nicolae grumbled.

”What now? We're just relaxing at the penthouse. We didn't do anything wrong,” said London. He pulled his hand in disgust because Nicolae refused to help him up.

”Are you okay? Does it hurt?” Nicolae asked while crouching down in front of Vega. ”Anybody hurt? What were you two doing just now? Are you peeping on me?”
