Chapter 897 - Have You Ever Missed Me? (1/2)

In his entire life, Nicolae had never been happier than he was today. He never thought, on one fine day in summer, his happiness came unexpectedly.

In his heart, he felt very grateful that he made the initiative to watch over Altair and Vega in Paris. Because of this coincidence, he was able to meet Summer, his biological child, and now Marie.

He immediately made plans to formalize his marriage to Marie and bring his wife and daughter to live with him. It's up to Marie where she wanted them to live. He would follow the girl's wishes. They could also return to New York. He would complete his work at the university and buy a big new house to share with Marie and Summer.

Altair and Vega still needed to finish high school at George Washington High School for their senior year. After that, maybe they would continue their studies in New York or go to Harvard or wherever they wanted.

He would discuss with Marie, Alaric, and Aleksis about the arrangements between them. Altair and Vega could continue to share time with him and their biological parents or went back to live with Alaric and Aleksis full time.

Nicolae felt that his brother had been so kind by sharing his children with him for the past six years. But now Nicolae had his own child to take care of. He could not wait to bring Summer to live with him and introduce the little girl to everyone.

Summer would certainly love to play with Lily and Ireland and Scotland because they were of the same age. The next family event would be very lively and full of adorable kids chatter. He was so excited just by imagining it.

Since his heart was filled with excitement, he barely noticed the time they spent on the road. They arrived at the address Marie gave him shortly after. Nicolae parked the car in front of a small apartment building. He followed Marie out of the car and into the building.

”Welcome to my house,” Marie said as she invited Nicolae into her cozy little apartment.

Nicolae smiled and immediately walked around. He saw that Marie's tastes were still the same as before. The girl chose furniture and designs that were similar to her apartment in Singapore. The arrangement reminded Nicolae of her old apartment.

”Do you still name your stuff?” the man asked with a grin.

Marie nodded. She pointed toward various objects that were around them. ”The couch is Leon, and the flower on the windowsill is Lucia.”

”Hi, Leon ...” Nicolae greeted those objects while smiling in amus.e.m.e.nt. ”How are you, Lucia?”

A long dachshund dog suddenly came out of the bedroom and happily wagged his tail to welcome Marie. The girl immediately raised her dog and kissed its head happily.

”This is...”

”Koi, right? I heard about the dog from Summer,” Nicolae said before Marie could introduce her dog. ”Hello, Koi. Nice to meet you.”

Marie smiled at that. She nodded and put Koi on the floor, then re-introduced the whole house. ”That's Edward, this one is Lilian, and this one is Ariel, and this is Susan ...”

Nicolae kept smiling, listening to Marie. This girl was indeed very unique and adorable, he thought. He had never met anyone who named their worldly possessions.

”Will we bring all your family members with you?” Nicolae finally asked after he greeted all the items that Marie had introduced to him. ”I still keep Edgard, Lilith, and all your belongings in Singapore.”

Marie looked astonished at Nicolae's words. ”Oh, really? How come? I left them all in my old apartment.”
