Chapter 903 - So Many Surprises (1) (1/2)
”By the way, did the kids already know you met Marie?” Alaric asked again.
”Not yet. They are busy with their study trip. I will call Altair and Vega tonight to tell them that I cannot go to Bordeaux to see them. Tomorrow, I will explain in more detail about everything,” Nicolae knew he needed to prepare well to give this news to Altair and Vega. They would be happy for him, but at the same time, they would be shocked. ”Oh, by the way... have you asked Mischa to stop by Bordeaux?”
”He will be there tomorrow. Mischa said he met Vega in the elevator. Did you know that?” Alaric asked. ”That's funny. Mischa didn't recognize her. Vega doesn't know what Mischa is like, right? Mischa only found out that it was my daughter after he met you yesterday.”
”Well, they have never met before,” Nicolae commented, ”Can't blame them. But I'm very happy that Mischa can watch the kids. They will be safe.”
”I think so too. I'm glad I don't have to bother you all the time. I guess you really need personal time with your own family,” Alaric sounded very happy for his brother. ”I will tell Aleksis this good news.”
”Thank you. I'll talk to you later via Virconnect in two hours after dinner, okay...” Nicolae said excitedly.
”Of course. We also need to have lunch first.”
Because of the time difference between Paris and New York, when Nicolae was preparing dinner in France, Alaric, Aleksis, and their boys were actually getting ready for lunch.

Nicolae heard the front door knocked. He immediately opened the door to the penthouse for the chefs and staff who came to prepare a special dinner for him and his little family. After letting them work in the kitchen, Nicolae called his father.
”Hey, Nic ... How are you?” Lauriel's voice came on the other end of the phone. The sound of the waves behind his father made Nicolae curious, where his father might be.
”Hello, Father. I have important news,” Nicolae said. ”Can you talk in two hours? I want to introduce Marie and Summer to you and Alaric.”
”Marie and Summer? Who are they?” Lauriel asked in puzzlement. ”Well, of course. I am not busy.”
”My wife and daughter, Father!” said Nicolae enthusiastically. ”I have found them. It turns out that Marie is not dead. My daughter too! Marie deliberately faked her death and moved to Paris. I was wrong all this time ... My family is still alive, Father!”
For a moment, Nicolae didn't hear his father make any sound on the other end of the phone. The man was silent. He was very moved and utterly speechless.
”I'm very happy to hear that,” After a while, Lauriel's reply was heard. His voice was rather hoarse because he held back his emotion. ”I can't wait to see them.”
”I am very happy, Father ...” Nicolae said in a voice filled with emotion. He understood his father's feelings. They both had a similar fate. They thought the woman they loved died with their child, and both Nicolae and Lauriel shared a feeling of guilt.
Luckily for Nicolae, it turned out that Marie was actually still alive. They only separated for six years, and he could finally meet the girl again with a bonus of having Summer, their child who had grown into an adorable little girl.
