Chapter 705 - The Wedding Plan (1/2)
Lunch was served 30 minutes later, and the Schneider family immediately gathered in the dining room which had sliding glass doors overlooking the swimming pool and the lush garden. The view was refreshing.
The atmosphere at the dinner table felt warm, and L became moved because, for the first time in years, she felt like she had a family.
”Ahh ... it's a shame Aleksis isn't here,” Rune commented as he filled the bowl with his father's soup, which he loved so much. ”All our family members are here, except her...”
”We can contact Aleksis later after lunch, I would like to see Ireland and Scotland,” Finland said, smiling happily. ”We can use Virconnect and talk to them.”
”Ah, good idea!” exclaimed Rune. He hurriedly finished his lunch so he could immediately contact his sister in Singapore.
”Who are Ireland and Scotland?” L asked, whispering in London's ear.
”Oh ... those are my nephews. They were born a week before Lily. You will like them,” London answered. He then remembered something and immediately added. ”Anyway, later, no matter what happens, you must not say anything about their appearance, why they don't look like their parents - especially the father. My brother-in-law could be offended and you will lose the Virconnect contract.”
L frowned. ”What does my Virconnect contract have to do with him?”
”Ahem ... My sister is married to the RMI boss. RMI is a group of companies that oversees Splitz. As you know, Virconnect is a product created by Splitz. Actually, it was my brother-in-law who initiated it.”
L widened her eyes and covered her lips in surprise. When she thought nothing could surprise her anymore today... she heard this from London. The Schneider family kept giving her shock after shock.
”Your sister .. married to ...” L swallowed. ”The famous Elios Linden?”
”Yes. Elios Linden was actually the new name he has been using after his death. We always call him by his real name, Alaric. Alaric Rhionen, but now he also uses the surname Medici. So, he is a Linden, but also Rhionen.. and Medici. It's confusing, really.”
L seemed confused with all of London's explanations. How could someone die but was now still alive? She did not understand.
”What is wrong?” asked Finland, who saw London and L whispering to each other. ”What are you talking about?”
”Uhm, it's okay. I was asking about ...” L was having trouble explaining what she meant. ”Uhm...:
”I was advising L not to mention anything about why Ireland and Scotland don't look like their parents. She could lose her Virconnect contract. The thing is, the other day, Alaric was angry at me because I jokingly said people might think he was holding his neighbor's kid.” London shook his head. ”I honestly thought he has changed and now has a sense of humor; apparently, I was wrong.”
”Ugh ... that is not funny. What if someone says that Lily looks like Jan and not you? You wouldn't like it, right?” Finland shook her head too. ”Don't speak recklessly next time.”
”Yes, Mom. I learn my lessons the hard way. I will not do it again,” London replied quickly.
They continued eating while chatting. It felt really warm. L, who was the most quiet of them and just nodded once in a while, did not contribute too much to the conversation. Not only because she naturally was not a talkative person, but her mind was also preoccupied with the various information she received today.
The Schneider family turned out to be part of the Alchemist clan who were immortals. Billie Yves was also an Alchemist. Then, London's brother was married to the owner of the legendary RMI Group. Ugh ... how shocking! L felt like she was surrounded by extraordinary people. For some reason, she felt so small when she was sitting in the same dining table as them.
After they finished lunch, the family gathered in the living room and activated the Virconnect connection. Soon they saw a large bedroom where Aleksis and Alaric slept with their two babies. Right now, it was already evening in Singapore because of the time difference, and the couple was ready to get their babies to sleep.
