Chapter 856 - Aleksis And Alarics Decision (2/2)

”That way, the children can share their time with Nic and us,” Aleksis said patiently. ”I think it would be good for them to see Nicolae often. I know Vega is distraught.”

”Ahh .. you're right. I'm grateful to have an understanding and intelligent wife like you. Then I'll talk to Nicolae before he leaves tomorrow morning,” Alaric said with a smile. He felt calm because Aleksis agreed with his thoughts.

”Uhm ... let's not tell Nic ...” Aleksis said with a smile. ”We can surprise him. He will be very happy.”

Alaric's purple eyes went round at his wife's words. He felt excited.

Ah, that's right. If they didn't tell Nicolae about their plans and next week just suddenly appeared in front of his house, surely his brother would be pleasantly surprised.

”Good idea! I'll keep this a secret and discuss it with the children tomorrow after Nic leaves.” Alaric kissed Aleksis's lips tenderly and patted her shoulder. ”Come on, let's sleep.”

Aleksis nodded as she lay down on the bed, followed by Alaric, who slept next to her. After Alaric clapped his hand once to turn off the light, Aleksis immediately embraced the man's body and slid her head into Alaric's c.h.e.s.t.

”Good night,” she whispered while closing her eyes.

Alaric kissed her forehead once and then closed his eyes following Aleksis and slept. ”Sweet dream.”

”Daddy Nic, why do you have to go so soon? Usually, when there is a family event, you will stay long enough,” complained Vega with tears in her eyes.

”I am still teaching on campus, so I can't leave for long,” Nicolae said. ”I have my responsibilities at work.”

”But a week should be fine. You just need to take two days leave ...” Vega w.h.i.n.ed.

”Uhm .. I'm sorry, I can't do that now. In the summer holiday, I will take a month off and take you to Africa or the Caribbean. How about that?” Nicolae tried to persuade the twins. After he promised to take them on a trip, finally, Vega's tears subsided.

”Can we go with Daddy Nic?” Vega immediately turned and asked her parents for approval. ”Father, is that possible? We haven't traveled with Daddy Nic for a long time ...”

Aleksis and Alaric exchanged glances and then nodded in unison. ”Of course.”

They even spoke at the same time.

”Ahh .. thank you,” Nicolae said, nodding towards them. He decided that he needed to go back on adventures to calm his heart down. But this time he wanted to bring his two children so that he wouldn't feel so alone.

After promising to get Altair and Vega to travel during the next summer's holiday, finally, Nicolae could leave in peace. He did not know Aleksis and Alaric had planned to move to New York so that their children could become closer to Nicolae.
