Chapter 948 - The Perverted Husband (1/2)
”I'm not going to divulge this secret to anyone, Uncle,” said Rune with a smile. He stretched out his hand to shake Lauriel's and congratulated him once again. ”Congratulations, Uncle. I'm so happy for you.”
”Thank you,” said Lauriel, smiling. They leaned back on the boat and rested while watching the beautiful scenery along the banks of the Amazon river that they passed. It was such a beautiful place.
Lauriel spent a lot of money on nature conservation projects in this region. He would not let one of his favorite places in the world to be ruined further by human's actions. He still remembered the first time he set foot in the interior of the Amazon.
In the past, this place was truly wild, pristine, and there were hundreds of indigenous tribes living in it. They all had their local wisdom and so many sources of knowledge related to nature. Lauriel really missed the old Amazon.
Today, only a dozen tribes remained because of the massive destruction of the Amazon in modern times by greedy corporations. Alaric, who also loved nature, helped his father's efforts to create various projects to conserve the Amazon and even carried out many restoration and replanting of parts that had been damaged by humans.
This was what made RMI's name even more famous in the world. Their concern for nature and human well-being had made RMI Group an extraordinary reputation.
After spending two weeks on the Amazon, Lauriel planned to go to New York, to visit Alaric and Aleksis' family who happen to be living there. Usually, the Lindens would stay in New York during the fall and then move to their home in Singapore in winter so they didn't have to endure the harsh winter.
It was now at the end of autumn, and the little family was getting ready to go to Asia. Lauriel wanted to meet them before they traveled.
”I'll come to New York with you,” said Rune when Lauriel asked about his plans when they arrived at the resort and drank wine together while enjoying the view of pink dolphins from the river in front of them. ”I promised Aleksis to teach the twins the latest quantum theory.”
Lauriel sighed as he recalled how Ireland and Scotland were forced to be homeschooled all their lives. Both were now teenagers, 15 years old. There were so many things they did not experience like other children and teenagers their age.
All because Vega, their sister, was kidnapped before. Their parents had become increasingly protective and paranoid about allowing them to go to school in public.
Rune understood very well what the two boys felt, because he too used to be stuck at home until he was an a.d.u.l.t. Caspar and Finland were also concerned about the safety of their children. At that time, his sister, Aleksis was kidnapped by Caspar's old enemy and she almost died from being poisoned. Caspar didn't want his other two children to experience the same thing.
Fortunately, after Rune and London grew up, they were able to live freely because they could take care of themselves. Now, Rune traveled a lot on his own and did what he liked to explore the world and learn from nature.
London was already living happily with his own family. He had spent his younger years running the family business, fell in love with L, and later got married and had a cute daughter.
”Uncle, will you and Rosalien have kids after you get married?” asked Rune suddenly. He just received a message on his cell phone from London informing him that he and L were expecting their second child. Rune brandished the cell phone in his hand and showed it to Lauriel. ”I'm just wondering how big our family will grow ... hahaha. My brother is expecting his second child now. I'm going to be an uncle again.”
Lauriel took Rune's cell phone and read the contents London's message. His face suddenly brightened.
”Wow ... what a happy day,” he commented. He seemed to ponder for a moment when he heard Rune's question. Recently, he had been thinking about having children with Rosalien. It seemed, he was ready now. And this time .. he promised to be the best father for his children.
He would not waste the second chance he got.
”Uhm.. I didn't mean to be nosy,” said Rune with a chuckle. ”I was just a bit curious. You don't need to answer that.”
”It's okay,” said Lauriel lightly while signaling for his glass to be filled with wine again to the waiter who stood in the corner of the room and was ready to wait for orders from guests. With alacrity, the waiter came with a bottle of expensive wine and refilled Lauriel's glass. After he drank the new wine in his glass once, Lauriel then answered Rune's question diplomatically. ”It all depends on Rosalien.”
