Chapter 865 - How Nicolae Spent His Weekend (1/2)

Nicolae spent most of his weekends with Terry. They would watch concerts, theater performances, or did horse riding activities in the countryside. When both appeared in public, they would always attract the attention of many women.

Terry often graced the gossip sites headlines for being into men after he was often seen in public with his best friend, Nicolae. Even though he was actually dating the supermodel, Shekina, and spent a lot of time with her whenever she was in New York.

As a top supermodel, Shekina traveled a lot around the world and occasionally stopped by in New York. If they happened to be in the same city, she with her modeling work and Terry on his business trips, they would spend time together. But, still, she the rumors about his closeness to Shekina resurfaced, people would say that Terry only made Shekinahis bead, to cover up the fact that he was actually gay and in relationship with Nicolae.

Fortunately, men like Terry had very high confidence and were not affected by what people say. He was not at all concerned with gossip about his personal life. He only thought of himself and couldn't care less about the assumption of others.

After he left his brother's family mansion, Nicolae met Terry at his penthouse. When he arrived, Terry was waiting for him with two glasses on his balcony and a bottle of limoncello.

”Summer is coming soon. This is perfect weather for drinking limoncello,” Terry said as he handed a glass of limoncello to Nicolae. His friend nodded and accepted the glass.

They clinked their glasses then sipped their drinks.

”Thank you for sending Dean to help us,” Nicolae said. ”I was worried. You know what Alaric is like.”

Terry nodded with a big smile. ”Of course. I can imagine.”

”The kids were very impressed by Dean. Altair instead said, after he graduates from high school, he will go to law school.”

Terry nodded in satisfaction. ”That's a good major to take. If he wants to lead a company, he needs to understand the law. I'm too lazy, so I leave it all to Dean.”

”Until when do you want to use this identity?” Nicolae asked. ”How old are you now? Almost 40 years old, right? Many people think you're young because you're dating lots of young girls ... hahaha. You're consuming their youths. But, you can only use that excuse for the next few years.”

Terry nodded. ”I don't know ... I really like my work and my life now. I might ask for a potion from Uncle Aldebar to make me look a little older if needed. To avoid people's suspicious. Do you remember the party refreshment he made at Aleksis' wedding? A sip can make you look older ten years, but the potion doesn't last long. If he could make a potion that could make us look three or five years older and the effect can last for several months ... of course we don't need to change our identities every twenty years, ”

Nicolae frowned at Terry's words. ”You're weird. Don't all people want to stay young forever? Why do you want to look older?”

”No ... you're wrong,” Terry said, raising his glass. ”Everyone wants to live forever. What is the point of living forever and staying young if we have to hide and cannot live the life we want? This will be a kind of prison for us. I think the best life is to live forever and be free. So if we can look a little old ... enough to get rid of people's suspicions ... it would be better.”

”Hmm ... you have a point too.” Only then did Nicolae understand Terry's point of view.

Perhaps, most Alchemists did like to hide and start a new life every twenty years. But what if they really liked their lives and wanted to experience them longer? Wouldn't having a choice be more fun?
