Chapter 905 - I Want To Live Forever With You (1/2)

”Does this Rhionen you were talking about have something to do with Rhionen Assasins?” Marie asked with a frown. As someone who was familiar with the underworld, she had heard about the legendary assassin group, which had now disbanded and was never heard from again. ”His name is quite familiar.”

”That's right. My brother was the founder of Rhionen Assasins before he founded the Rhionen Industries group. He had a misunderstanding with our father and Uncle Caspar, and they hunted him down. He was shot and almost died. After his death was announced, he went into a coma for several years, and then when he returned, he took on a new identity as Elios Linden. That is why Elios Linden's background is considered so mysterious.”

”I didn't know you were all connected ... This is very shocking,” Marie said, staring intensely at Nicolae. Surprise after surprise never stopped coming her way today. ”In that case, does Elios Linden look like you?”

”Yes, you can say that. We are not identical twins, but you could say we are physically very similar. Only his hair is lighter in color, and his eyes are purple since he takes after our mother in appearance. The color purple is actually a special characteristic of the Linden family,” Nicolae glanced toward Summer. ”See, Summer inherits my mother's eyes.”

”Oh ...” Marie turned her head to look at Summer who was playing with Koi and immediately realized that Nicolae was right. During this time, she could not understand why Summer had such a unique eye color. As she recalled, in her family, no one had that eye color. She also remembered that Nicolae's eyes were blue, not purple ...

Then where did the color purple come from?

Only today did she find the answer to this question. Apparently, it was from Nicolae's maternal family side.

She felt that Nicolae's family was very unique and full of surprises.

”I'm happy because Summer has your mother's eyes,” Marie said, smiling.

”Me too,” Nicolae replied. ”She has your face ... but I can see my mother's eyes on her. I saw my mother last year once, when Father shared his memories of her, through Holodeck. When I saw Summer, I feel like I saw the expression and the look in Mother's eyes. Summer made me very happy...”

Marie wrapped her arms around Nicolae's neck and took the initiative to kiss him.

”I'm happy when you're happy ...”

They kissed for a while. When Marie finally broke free, their faces were still so close to each other, and their noses almost touched.

”After we have dinner, I will introduce you to Alaric and my father. They can't wait to see you,” Nicolae said softly. ”After that, we must prepare for the wedding. Have you ever been to Italy?”

Marie lowered her face and was blushing. ”I did, but I really want to go there with you.”

”You will love Grosetto in the summer.”

”I would love it anywhere, as long as I am with you,” Marie said quietly. Her face looked increasingly red.

Hearing Marie's confession that she uttered shyly, Nicolae smiled broadly. He touched Marie's chin and kissed her again.

Really, it seemed like he would never feel satisfied kissing this girl and spending time with her. Every second they were together, his heart was filled with happiness that he had never felt before.

He felt like he was on cloud nine. Everything felt warm and pleasant around this girl. Nicolae did not know that falling in love could be this sweet. He didn't even feel this way when he was with Aleksis.

”So ... how old are you now?” Marie asked him after a while.
