Chapter 754 - The Girl Looked So Fragile And Lonely (1/2)

Nicolae chopped up some vegetables and meat and prepared the pots and other cooking utensils. Fifteen minutes later, he returned to Marie's room with two bowls of delicious chicken soup for both of them.

For people who were experiencing a sad and fragile situation like Marie now, warm food that they could easily digest like chicken soup would make them feel better. That was why Nicolae intentionally cooked it for Marie. He placed the two bowls on the table by the bed and touched Marie's hand to wake her.

”Eat first; otherwise, you will get sick. Remember, tomorrow we still have to cremate your mother. You also have to take her to sea to be united with your father.”

Nicolae was very sympathetic to see how Marie tried hard to pick herself up from her pain. Without saying a word, the girl got out of bed then forced herself to enjoy the chicken soup that Nicolae prepared.

Her mouth muttered a 'thank you' in an unclear voice. Nicolae just nodded. They both then enjoyed the chicken soup in silence. After eating, Nicolae took care of the two bowls and washed them in the kitchen, while Marie snuggled back into her bed.

”You should rest tonight, okay. Tomorrow morning, I'll pick you up to take care of your mother's cremation.”

Marie just nodded. She thanked him again in a barely audible voice.

Nicolae left Marie's apartment on the 10th floor and then went up to the 21st floor to his own residence. His tired and sad face piqued Altair and Vega's interests.

They approached their father and hugged him lovingly. The two 10-year-old children took turns going to Nicolae and hugging him and asking how he was.

”Are you okay? Why do you look sad?” Vega asked in an attentive voice. Nicolae just shook his head and kissed their foreheads. He then moved to the kitchen to distract them.

”Did you have dinner? There is food in the fridge that you can warm-up,” he said softly.

The two children shook their heads in unison.

”Not yet. We are waiting for Daddy,” answered Altair.

”I will make something for us to eat,” Nicolae finally said. He warmed up the food from the refrigerator in the microwave, and a short while later, the three of them had sat facing the dining table to enjoy dinner.

Because he had eaten chicken soup in Marie's apartment, Nicolae ate only a little.

”Tomorrow I have to go all day. You don't mind staying home, do you?” he asked after dinner.

Altair and Vega exchanged glances. They were a bit surprised. It's been two days in a row that Nicolae looked really busy. Yesterday, he met with Marie, and today he claimed to go to the hospital, but whom he visited and what he did there, he did not want to give further explanation.

Therefore, the kids could only guess where Nicolae would go tomorrow and why he needed all day. However, Altair and Vega realized that they were only children who may not be able to understand the affairs of the a.d.u.l.ts. They decided not to ask further.

”I will ask your two bodyguards to stay with you in the apartment. They can help you with your study.” Nicolae said to his two children.

”Thank you, Daddy. You don't need to worry about us. Just do what you need to do tomorrow,” Altair said soothingly. ”We can also talk to Mommy through Virconnect.”

”Alright, then.” Nicolae could only nod.
