Chapter 896 - Finally Together (1/2)
”Uhm .. I think you will be really surprised later,” Marion chirped. She then pushed Nicolae and Marie's shoulders out the door. ”Go on now, if you want to get your stuff, I'll take care of your kid here. I think you both need to talk alone.”
Nicolae nodded and smiled. He was grateful because Marion was very understanding. He opened the door to Summer's room and said goodbye to the little girl before leaving.
”Honey ... Maman and Daddy will be gone for a while. You stay here with Auntie Marion and be a good girl, okay?” Nicolae asked.
Marion had entered the room and sat next to Summer. ”That's right. Auntie will be with you here. We can play together while waiting for JM to return. After that, we can eat ice cream together at the restaurant.”
Summer's face immediately turned bright. ”I would love that. Maman, will you go too?”
”That's right, baby. Maman has some business to attend. You just play here, okay?” Marie kissed Summer's cheeks and rubbed her hair lovingly.
Summer nodded eagerly. ”All right. I like Auntie Marion.”
”Good. See you later.” Nicolae kissed Summer and then walked out while holding Marie's hand.
They walked to the elevator and went down to the lobby. Nobody said anything. Each of them still absorbing the fact that they had found each other ... And, oh ... there were so many secrets they have to share with each other.
When the elevator door opened, Nicolae took Marie's hand, and for a moment, the girl looked startled. She was still not used to being treated like this. Her face flushed red again.
Nicolae took her to the concierge and asked the hotel to lend him a car to make it easier to bring Marie and Summer's belongings that she wanted to take from her home.
”Right away, Sir. Will you need a driver?” the concierge officer asked respectfully.
Nicolae shook his head. ”No, thanks. You can give me a driverless car, but I'll drive it myself if necessary.”
”All right. Please come with me, Sir.” The concierge raised his hand and invited Nicolae to follow him. Nicolae still clasped Marie's hand and took her to walk following the man's steps.
In front of the lobby, there was a black luxury car waiting for them. Nicolae thanked the hotel concierge, then opened the passenger door and invited Marie inside. After Marie sat in her chair and buckled up, the man got into the driver's seat and started the car.
”Just tell me the address, and we will head there,” Nicolae said. Marie mentioned an address in Arr. 5 and Nicolae immediately keyed it in the car map.
”How's Sanna?” Nicolae asked on the way.
Marie shrugged. ”She's fine. Now she's happy with her husband, Julian. They live in the suburbs of Paris, in a big house. Sometimes Summer and I stay there.”
”Oh .. I'm glad to hear she's happy.” Nicolae nodded. ”Oh, wait... just a minute.”
When he remembered Sanna and their chaotic date caused by his two children and London, Nicolae was suddenly reminded that he should have gone to Bordeaux to watch over Altair and Vega. He then set the car to automatic drive and called Alaric.
