After Alaric and Aleksis exited the elevator, they entered the Moonshine Restaurant and walked along the aisle of the entire restaurant before taking the escalator leading to the Sky Bar on the 100th floor. As they passed by, the guests enjoying their meal at the Moonshine Restaurant raised their heads and watched the two newcomers.

They knew that the Sky Bar was closed for that evening since many of them failed to gain entry there and had to be satisfied with a dinner at the Moonshine. So when Aleksis and Alaric passed by and casually took the escalator, the astonished guests promptly realized that the two were the VVIP guests who had booked the entire Sky Bar.

At first, they thought the Sky Bar was closed for a corporate event or a high-class socialites function, but it was actually reserved for these two people. This fact caused a stir among the diners present.

Both Aleksis and Alaric were very good looking so they immediately captured all the attention. The guests in the Moonshine Restaurant also immediately guessed that the couple was very wealthy and influential since they were able to get the entire Sky Bar just for the two of them.

"Excuse me ...." A very curious guest finally called one of the waiters to probe. "Is the Sky Bar really closed or not? We are supposed to eat there, but it is said that the whole Sky Bar is not available. So why are those two people going up there?"

The waiter could only shake his head with a smile, "Uhm ... the Sky Bar was really closed for tonight, Madam. That is the owner of the building. They needed privacy so they reserved the Sky Bar."

"Oh, is that so? But this building should be a property of the Schneider family ...." The four guests at the table exchanged looks with each other. "Are they....?"

The waiter nodded. "You're right. That's Mrs. Aleksis Schneider Linden and her husband Mr. Elios Linden."

Astonishment immediately flashed across the faces of the four. The news about Elios Linden and his family became trending for the past week, since the celebration of Virconnect's fourth anniversary at that time.

They never thought they would be able to see the legendary couple for themselves tonight!

"Wow ... they're actually in Singapore now. So cool!"

"It turns out the gossip is true. Elios Linden is very handsome and his wife is also extraordinarily beautiful. The people who came to that party really did not exaggerate it."

"Oh, do you see how romantic they are as they walked while holding hands? Even though people said they have been married for quite a long time, they still looked so smitten with each other!"

Alaric and Aleksis enjoyed their dinner in the Sky Bar in a calm and romantic atmosphere, completely unaware that they had become a hot topic discussed by the guests downstairs.

They definitely had a very romantic dinner. The waitresses and managers of Sky Bar who recognized the couple were only able to admire them from afar as they quietly discussed how intimate the couple was.

The fact that the couple didn't order wine immediately convinced them that their VVIP guest was pregnant, and the waitresses could only whisper to each other, discussing how the couple's children would later undoubtedly become good-looking because of the good genes they inherited from their parents.

"I still remember the first time I met you in this Sky Bar, when you disguised yourself as a waitress," Alaric commented as he sipped his tea, looking at Aleksis with an amused face. "What the heck were you doing at that time? Climbing such a high wall..."

"At that time, I was too lazy to go from the first floor. Besides, if I just directly came to Sky Bar, the waiters would recognize me without a disguise." Aleksis also smiled. "What were you thinking when you saw me at that time?"

Alaric rolled his eyes, trying to recall the nostalgic memory of ten years ago. "I don't remember exactly, but I thought you were too beautiful to be a waiter."

"Ahh... I was impressed because you were really kind at that time," Aleksis honestly told. "I didn't expect you to be the Prince Siegfried I was looking for. I got into a fight with Pavel and he almost threw me off the hundredth floor... crazy."

"You can't blame him. Pavel suspected you were a corporate spy. You acted suspiciously at that time."

"Yeah... but I had to thank him. If it weren't for Pavel, I would have believed what you said, that you, my Prince Siegfried, had died..." Aleksis pursed her lips as she slowly burst into tears. "How could you do that to me... pretending to be dead and breaking my poor little heart..."

Alaric had expected that Aleksis was going to cry again tonight, as she looked fine all day. It had almost been two weeks that he had to deal with such a s.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e wife who would cry her eyes out, so he was already used to it. Instead, if Aleksis didn't find a reason to cry for an entire day, Alaric would actually be surprised.

"I'm sorry. It was really heartless of me at that time," Alaric replied without trying to defend himself. Certainly, he had a firm reason why he had deliberately avoided Aleksis and pretended to be dead years ago when he knew she was looking for him, but tonight, he didn't feel the need to argue with his wife.

"You also rejected my feelings twice..." Aleksis grumbled again. "You were so mean to me then…"

Alaric rejected Aleksis when they first met, as he didn't want to play with her feelings. He didn't want to open his heart to anyone at that time, after all. He couldn't bear to lose the loved ones who would leave him when they grew old and died. And he didn't know that Aleksis was an immortal like him.

Again, he nodded and didn't argue.

"You're right. I rejected you because I was afraid of falling in love with you... I admit it. I'm just an ordinary man who makes a lot of mistakes and I was stupid." He just smiled. "I'm lucky you didn't just give up. I can't imagine how my life would be without you."

Aleksis was finally satisfied. She didn't complain anymore, so they were able to peacefully enjoy their dinner. They returned to Alaric's mansion in Bukit Timah after dinner. He had rarely visited this place in the past four years and like all his other residences, the mansion had been equipped with a sophisticated AI system so that they no longer needed servants.
