Chapter 873 - You Can Call Me Auntie (1/2)
The man was stunned to hear Marion's words. A moment later, his expression became more relaxed, and his lips smiled.
”Apparently you're not just anyone ... There aren't many people who know me that well,” he commented. ”Who are you?”
”You won't know me, Boy,” Marion said, smiling faintly. Mischa stared at the woman for a long time and finally, he nodded.
”You must be a lot older than me. Then I must show my respects,” he said later, bowing his head slightly.
”Ah ... you have good manners.” Marion nodded while smiling back. ”You can call me Auntie.”
The waiter she called to bring a bottle of red wine had come and stood beside their table respectfully. After Marion gave the signal, he then poured red wine into the glass of the two guests.
”Cheers!” Marion raised her glass and clinked it to Mischa's. ”Everyone needs to experience a broken heart so that they can appreciate love more.”
Mischa just looked at Marion and didn't answer, but he accepted the clink of their glass and gulped down the wine. His face still looked sad, but he had managed to stop himself from chasing his ex-girlfriend.
”I'll give her a few more days,” Mischa muttered, refilling his glass. ”Thank you, Auntie, for accompanying me here.”
”You're welcome, Son,” Marion said. ”I'm actually feeling a bit bored.”
Outsiders who didn't know them would be surprised to hear a grown man who clearly looked older called a beautiful girl who seemed to be in her 20s before him with Auntie. Nobody would guess that Marion was actually almost 150 years old. She had walked the earth so much longer than Mischa.
Marion was naturally a kind woman, and she decided to invite Mischa to talk to divert his attention from the problem that was making him upset. It was true that even the most ruthless men were not immune from heartbreak and grief when the girl they loved broke up with them one-sidedly.
Mischa met Lisa eight years ago, and for the first time in life, he felt how to it was to fall in love with a woman. He had changed his life and was busy taking care of RMI's business in Eastern Europe, as entrusted by Alaric, his foster father.
Lisa did not know of his past as a professional assassin and they had a loving relationship, which eventually became serious. Six years ago, they decided to live together. Mischa had no idea that he would be given the gift of the immortality potion by Aldebar as Alaric's foster son.
He did not tell Lisa about his life secrets now and then. He still wanted to check his heart, whether he really wanted to spend his forever with Lisa or not. As time went on and he got older, he finally made the decision to marry the girl.
Before he disclosed the Alchemist clan's secrets, Mischa decided to open up and tell her about his past as an assassin since he was a teenager. In his mind, if Lisa could accept his past, he would share his other secrets.
Unfortunately, Lisa couldn't accept Mischa's past well. She felt devastated and deceived. After thinking about it for a month, the girl finally gave up and chose to leave the man who had been with her for the past eight years.
She could not marry a former killer because her father was killed by his political opponents using a hitman. She could not forgive Mischa's past at all and chose to break up. Lisa decided to go to Paris and started a new life there.
But tonight, Lisa reiterated that they could not get back together. Even though she still loved Mischa too much, Lisa really couldn't change her heart.
