Chapter 857 - Its A Really Pleasant Day (2/2)

”Oh ... really? What are you doing in New York? Eh ... did you come alone or do you bring Aleksis with you?” Nicolae asked as he walked through the campus corridor. At first glance, he looked like one of the students wandering on the campus, but because Nicolae was wearing a tie, people could see that he was a professor.

”We have some business to attend in New York. The children come too. Do you want to meet them or not?” Alaric asked again. ”If you're busy, that's fine.”

”Uh ... I'm not busy,” Nicolae said hurriedly. ”I'll be there soon.”

His face smiled broadly when he hung up the phone and kept his cellphone in his pocket. Ahh .. it's a really pleasant day. He could not wait to meet the twins whom he considered his own children.

His handsome face was decorated with a smile, making more and more girls fascinated as the young man walked past them. During the past semester, Nicolae rarely smiled. So, seeing his face look so bright and adorned with a sweet smile, everyone at the Information Management Department he worked at was baffled.

One could only guess why Nicolae looked so happy today.

When Alaric said that he had a lunch appointment with Terry, it turned out that his intention was not to have lunch in one of the hotel restaurants, but in the penthouse where Terry had lived all this time. He asked the chef to come in to cook for him and his guests.

Nicolae, who arrived exactly at noon, immediately hugged Altair and Vega, who were already waiting for him behind the door, when he knocked on the penthouse door.

”Ahhh .... I am so glad you came ... I really miss you,” he blurted out. He then embraced Alaric and Aleksis and asked the reason for their visit to New York this time. He learned that Alaric did not like New York City very much because of the level of pollution.

”Hmm .. Aleksis and I have talked about this,” Alaric said. ”We need a change of scenery, and we think New York is the right place.”

”Eh ... what do you mean? New York? Are you joking?” Nicolae asked in amazement. ”Do you intend to move here?”

Alaric nodded. ”That's right. We now live in the Schneider family mansion in Manhattan, not far from here.”

”Jeez ...” Nicolae looked at Alaric and Aleksis alternately with a look of disbelief. ”I do not know what to say...”

”Just say you don't mind taking care of Altair and Vega over the weekend,” Alaric said with a smile. Altair and Vega formed their big smiles when they heard their father's words.

”Gosh ... you will allow the twins to stay with me every weekend?” Nicolae was beaming in happiness. ”Of course, I will take care of them well!”

He kissed Altair and Vega's cheeks alternately with joy.

”Today is a really pleasant day,” he muttered.

Alaric, Aleksis, and Terry were very pleased to see the change in Nicolae's face that had previously been gloomy. They felt that the decision taken by the couple was the right decision.

”Thank you ...” whispered Nicolae. Alaric and Aleksis only smiled and nodded. After the novelty died down, Nicolae then sat with them at the dining table and joined in for a delightful lunch.

He understood that his brother and Aleksis were very concerned about him and wanted to console him. He had no idea that they would be willing to move to New York to be close to him and provide an opportunity for him to spend a lot of time with his beloved children.

At the very least, he would not always be haunted by the past when he lost Marie and their unborn child. From now on, Nicolae set his heart to move on and let them go.
