Chapter 899 - Moving Out (1/2)

They lay in bed hugging for ten minutes, just enjoying each other's presence. Finally, the sound of Koi's scratching on the bedroom door made both of them realize that they still had to get Marie's and Summer's belongings to join Nicolae.

Nicolae opened his eyes, looked into his arms, and found Marie's face so close to his. She had also opened her eyes. Both of them looked at each other with smiles decorating each other's lips, they then reflexively kissed again.

”Hmm ... we have to get up,” Marie whispered.

Nicolae nodded. He kissed Marie's forehead, then got up and sat on the bed. Marie followed suite.

”Do you want to shower?” Nicolae asked Marie.

The girl nodded. She got out of bed while pulling Nicolae's hand and led him into her bathroom to the left. Nicolae had to stop himself from pouncing on Marie under the shower while they showered together.

He imagined it would be better if they quickly settled Marie's business in her apartment and returned to the penthouse. His bedroom and bathroom in the penthouse were much bigger and more comfortable for ... ahem ... m.a.k.i.n.g. .l.o.v.e.

They couldn't wait until Summer was fast asleep and then ...

Ahh .. stop thinking perverted stuff, Nicolae ... You are a gentleman.

Nicolae brushed aside those beautiful thoughts from his mind and hurried to wash his body and Marie together. They realized the longer the two of them saw each other n.a.k.e.d, the slower they would be packing Marie's stuff on this apartment. They must set their priorities straight!

After getting dressed, Nicolae helped dry Marie's hair, and then the girl helped dry Nicolae's hair. Both were all smiles. They didn't want to be separated from the other.

”All right ... you can just tell me whatever items you want to bring, I'll help you,” Nicolae said after the two were ready. Marie mentioned several objects that had significance to her and Summer and their location. Nicolae swiftly looked for them.

One set of Summer's baby clothes; one of the two toys that Summer loved the most; a little piece of jewelry that Marie inherited from her mother, and of course, Koi.

”We can bring Koi with us, right?” Marie asked as she put the collar on her cute dog. ”Summer is very fond of Koi, they have been together since birth.”

”Of course,” Nicolae answered with a smile. He also always lived with Aleksis's and the twins' pet dogs, and he loved animals. Aleksis used to have a beloved dog named Little Prince Siegfried that she kept until the dog died of old age. Then, Altair and Vega adopted a dog very similar to Little Prince Siegfried and named it Aurora.

Now Aurora lived in New York and went where the twins lived. This meant Aurora stayed with them and Nicolae on weekdays, and went home to Manhattan, at Aleksis and Alaric's home with the twins on weekends.

So, of course, Nicolae would be happy to bring Koi, his daughter's favorite dog, wherever they go.

”Why.. thank you. Summer will definitely be delighted to see Koi coming with us,” Marie said happily.
