Chapter 724 - Family Time (1/2)

Alaric and Aleksis' residence at Targu Mures that morning was very lively because they were hosting many guests. Usually, the place was very quiet because the owner moved around a lot since they have many residences. When they were in his other residence, there were only a few staff and android servants in this castle.

At 9 am, when everyone gathered at the dining table for breakfast, no one dared to discuss the blackout that occurred the night before. They all ate as if nothing had happened.

”We will go deer hunting in the forest after lunch. Who wants to come?” Alaric asked while they were eating.

Rune and London, who loved riding horses, raised their hands with enthusiasm. Terry just shook his head. He was a city boy who grew up in Singapore and was not accustomed to horseback-riding like his two younger siblings.

Caspar had planned to take a walk on the edge of the forest with his wife, so he refused to participate. Mischa and Alaric were used to horse riding and deer hunting in Targu Mures. So, they always enjoyed the activity when they had time to relax.

”Well ... then, later this afternoon, after Kai, Takeshi, and Rosalien arrive they will join us,” Alaric decided. ”You can choose the horse that you like in the stable.”

Kara suddenly approached Aleksis and handed over her cellphone.

”Madame, Sir Lauriel called you.”

”Is that so? This must be important. I will take this call.” Aleksis nodded and took her cellphone from Kara's hand, then excused herself to his family at the dinner table. ”Sorry I have to take this call.”

She rose from her chair and took Lauriel's phone call.

”Hello, Father ... what's up?”

Since the past few months, Aleksis had finally gotten used to calling Lauriel Father, no longer Uncle Rory, because after all, the man was her father-in-law.

Lauriel was always very happy to hear the word 'Father' come out from Aleksis's lips because, after all, since Aleksis was born, he had considered Aleksis as his own daughter. He deliberately always asked to be called uncle because he did not want to offend Caspar, the girl's biological father.

But now, there was absolutely no reason why Aleksis did not call him father. So that's what Aleksis finally did.

”I have only been notified me now, but Nicolae and the children will arrive late. Their flight has problems, so finally, Nic decided to go straight to Targu Mures to bring Altair and Vega.”

”Oh, really?” Aleksis was surprised, but she could not hide her joy. Nic will come to Targu Mures to bring her children, even though the original plan was to take Altair and Vega to Grosetto and then Lauriel took the two children to Targu Mures. Nic had wanted to avoid Aleksis. Now he can't help but come in person. ”Alaric would be very happy when Nic came. I'll tell him.”

”Right. It's an unexpected incident. Nic is afraid that if he delayed the flight and keep going to Grosetto, the children will miss your birthday. So he finally decided to go straight to Targu Mures with them,” Lauriel explained. ”They will arrive tonight.”

”Ah, all right. Then, Father, you will still come here, right?”

”Of course.” Lauriel's voice was warm. ”I've never missed my beloved daughter's birthday, and I'm not going to start now. I'm leaving soon.”

”Ahaha ... that's right. Then, see you later. Do you think you will arrive after lunch? If so, the men here decided to go deer hunting event. Are you interested in joining?”
