London was really happy to see his whole family present at his home. He saw that his sister also received L well and they were able to get along fast. He then went towards his father and took Lily from Caspar's arms.
"Hey... Little Princess, what are you doing today?" he asked, cradling Lily in his arms. "Did you drink a lot of milk?"
Of course, Lily didn't answer. She only stared closely at her father and repeatedly narrowed her eyes, wondering.
Caspar only smiled at his son's behavior. He understood how it felt when his children were very small. Ah... he couldn't believe they've all grown up. Aleksis and London already had their respective children. He secretly felt a feeling of remorse filling his c.h.e.s.t when he saw his wife and children looking happy around him.
His life had very much changed compared to when he was still alone and was never serious with a woman. It turned out that now, the p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e of having multiple lovers couldn't be compared with the p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e of having his own family and flesh and blood.
"We're stopping by briefly before we continue our trip to Targu Mures. Alaric wants to take the children there. We'll also celebrate our wedding anniversary there." Aleksis explained when they all gathered for dinner. All three of their babies were fast asleep in the bedroom.
"Are Altair and Vega coming? Aren't they currently with Nic? Does that mean Nic will also come?" London curiously asked. He knew that at the moment, his nephew and niece were living with Nicolae. Everyone understood Nicolae still couldn't forget his love for Aleksis completely. Telling Nicolae to come to the wedding anniversary of his brother and Aleksis would be an ins.e.n.s.i.t.i.v.e thing to do
"Yes, they'll come. My father will take them to Targu Mures," Alaric said. He understood what London meant. Although he loved his brother very much, he also didn't want Nicolae to come to the wedding anniversary of him and Aleksis. Now, everyone hoped that one day Nicolae would be able to forget about Aleksis and find new love.
"Oh... so the children are in Grosetto now?" London asked.
"That's right."
L turned to London and asked with her eyes. She didn't know who they were talking about. London then whispered to her so L wouldn't miss the conversation.
"I haven't told you yet? My brother-in-law has a twin brother. His children are very close to his brother, and they're currently living with Nicolae. I'll introduce them to you at our wedding later. You'll definitely like my family."
"Oh..." L nodded in understanding. She couldn't wait to meet her future husband's extended family, which was also Lily's extended family. So far, everyone she met was very nice to her. She wanted to know about his other relatives.
When dinner time arrived, they all agreed to move and had dinner at the Schneider family's mansion. Caspar prepared a special dinner with the help of his two children. Alaric, Alesksis, and L helped set up the dining table and drinks, while Finland watched her three grandchildren, who were still babies.
Dinner took place warmly and they talked about various things. L couldn't really follow their conversation because she didn't know most of the people they were talking about. London tried to introduce his relatives to L, but he knew that before L met them in person, she wouldn't be able to really understand.
"Thank you for dinner. As always, Dad's cooking is really delicious," Aleksis praised after they finished dinner and relaxed in the lounge while enjoying wine. "I'm glad we stopped by even if it's just to enjoy my favorite dish."
"When are you going to Targu Mures?" Caspar asked. "Your mother and I also miss Altair and Vega, so we'll follow you there."
"We'll leave in two days. Just come, we will hold an event for the family," Aleksis said happily. "Alaric's four foster children will also come."
"We can't come, sorry... L is still busy with Kara working on the wedding preparations. I'll wish you a happy wedding anniversary now," London stood up and hugged Aleksis and Alaric alternately.
L, who saw him like that, also rose from her chair and hugged Aleksis.
"Happy anniversary, Sister-in-law... Thank you for stopping by and meeting us here."
Aleksis was amazed to see how L really respected her and could only pat her on the back.
"Ah, it's okay. I'm delighted to be able to come here and meet you in person, as well as see my beautiful niece. Good luck with the preparations for your wedding. I'm sure your party will be more successful than ours..." Aleksis chuckled, remembering the events of last year when she almost married Nicolae, and at the last moment, her groom was replaced by Alaric.
"I'll tell you about it later," London whispered into L's ear. "Uh, you might also want to say hello to Alaric and thank him for the Virconnect contract. Don't touch him, he doesn't like to be touched."
"Ah, right. Thanks for reminding me," L thanked, nodding.
"Oh... before we leave, I also want to say thank you to brother-in-law. Thank you for allowing me to become a Virconnect ambassador. This opportunity really helped me advance my career in the music industry."
Alaric just nodded and smiled slightly. "It's okay. I heard you're very talented, and Virconnect needs to be represented by the best people in the field."
Alaric knew that he didn't need to tell L that the Virconnect contract was given to her because London had asked him to. He just nodded and didn't saying anything more.
"We'll be going home first then. Lily still has to get used to sleeping in her own bed. I'm afraid that if she stays here for too long, she'll experience confusion." London took Lily from the guest room and carried her after excusing himself to his family. His father, mother, and siblings accompanied London and L to the mansion's door.
In the yard, Marc was waiting for them in a car. When he saw them, he opened the car door for both of them. Although the distance wasn't far, he knew it would be safer if he took his boss home by car rather than let him walk.
After London and L returned home, they put Lily in bed and showered before getting ready for bed. Seeing London so exhausted, L offered to take care of Lily for the whole night when their baby woke up.
"It's okay, I can take care of Lily and feed her tonight," London said, taking a blanket to put on the sofa where he slept yesterday.
"No need. I see you're tired. There must be lots of things that keep you busy all day. We can take turns. I'll give Lily milk tonight, you can take your turn tomorrow," L said
"Uhm... but I like sleeping in this room with you two. I don't mind, really," London said. He was only allowed to sleep on the couch, but the comfort he felt knowing that he slept in the same room as L and Lily really made him happy. It felt like he didn't want to go back to his own room after last night.
"If that's your objection, you can still sleep in this room," L said with a smile. "I'll let you sleep here on the condition you tell me about your family. I don't want to come to family events, not knowing anyone."
"Ah... right. Of course, it would feel awful not understanding who is who." London nodded. "Then prepare yourself. I'll tell you who my family and relatives are so you can get to know them."
The man took his tablet then opened a folder containing numerous photos. "I can show you their photos and tell you who they are."
"Ah... thanks. I really need it." L climbed into her bed and patted the area next to her. "Sit here and show me."
London was amazed at L's attitude. Did his eyes see wrong? L told him to get into bed???
"Come on, sit here, and show me." L said, patting the area next to her again. "As long as you don't think of anything perverted, you can sleep here."
Without needing to be told twice, London immediately climbed into bed and sat next to L. He was very happy to see that L had become more open to him. She had called Aleksis and Alaric as sister-in-law and brother-in-law, and now she didn't really mind if London wanted to sleep in her room. She even offered a place for him beside her.
He kissed L on the cheek then showed the pictures on his tablet to the girl. His voice sounded soft and clear as he told her about each of his family members whom L had never met before.
"Well... this is my father and mother, you've met them. This is my brother, Terry. He's my mother's son with Uncle Jean. This is Uncle Jean and his wife..."
L paid attention to every name and picture with their respective stories with great interest. Ah, the Schneider family is really interesting, she thought. After listening for a while, she became sleepy in her place. London's storytelling voice made her feel that she was being lulled, so even though L had offered to look after Lily, L actually fell asleep first.
London didn't mind at all, because L hugged him when she fell asleep. He liked the comforting scent of L's body and her smooth skin when she touched him. What made him rather annoyed was the fact that he couldn't touch L at all and do all sorts of perverted things to her. Refraining at a time like this was a struggle quite onerous for every normal man.
Ahh... he really couldn't wait to get married to L and be able to do things which now he was holding back so painfully.
