The small group arrived in front of the castle at sunset, and the view from the hill where they were was truly extraordinary. After getting out of the car, for a moment, they looked at the valley below and froze in their place.
"This place is beautiful ..." Finland murmured. She loved the scenery all the way to the hilltop.
Aleksis came out of the castle door and welcomed them happily. Her body shape was almost back to normal, which will certainly make so many women envious, because in just three months after giving birth, she had been able to recover her beautiful body shape.
"Please come in. We have a special terrace to watch the sunset on the third floor," she said cheerfully. Some efficient AI android servants came to help carry the guests' luggage and arrange a room for each of them.
Ten minutes later, the extended family went to a beautiful terrace on the third floor overlooking the west with a beautiful view of the valley below. Some android servants brought food and drinks, and the Schneider and Medici family members enjoyed the beautiful sunset with glasses of wine and a lovely chat.
"Ten years from now, Altair and Vega will be a.d.u.l.ts, and these three babies will be preteens," Caspar commented with a slightly nostalgic attitude as he looked at his children and the three babies in their arms. "Our family has grown."
Finland smiled happily when she saw them. She still remembered her lonely days when she was younger and alone. It was very sad. Now she was surrounded by the people she loved, including her best friends, Jean and Lauriel.
Jean became part of her family because of Terry. And Terry now had become the eldest brother to Finland and Caspar's three biological children, and he doted on his younger siblings.
While Lauriel, who was Caspar's best friend and has been regarded as her own brother by Finland, was now their in-law because Lauriel's son was married to Aleksis, and Nicolae, his other son became Altair and Vega's godfather.
Finland truly felt very fortunate to have them all in her life. Portia and Ned also became Alaric's adoptive parents, and the man himself still had four foster children whom he raised since they were little and will soon receive the immortality potion. Their family had truly expanded into one big and strong family.
Aleksis and Alaric, who saw London come alone, without L, and only brought Lily immediately realized that something bad had happened between London and L, but as a good sister, Aleksis did not mention it at all. She believed that London was m.a.t.u.r.e enough to be able to make the best decisions for himself.
Aleksis actually liked L, but she realized that London and L were still too young to get married. She only hoped that the two young people could co-parent for Lily, even though they were not together.
Because she had two baby boys, Aleksis really liked teasing Lily. She deliberately arranged Lily to be placed in the middle basket, between Ireland and Scotland, and she kept playfully teasing Lily to make her smile.
"Look at the three of them. They are so adorable, don't you think? I will be very happy if Lily could grow up with Ireland and Scotland," Aleksis said as she nudged Lily's cute little nose. Her niece looked at her closely with her big round eyes. She seemed very interested in her aunt. "Ahhh ... Lily is so cute! I hope my boys won't fight over her when they grow up ..."
Hearing Aleksis's words, Alaric subconsciously coughed and almost choked on his wine. Inevitably, Aleksis' statement made him think of himself and Nicolae, who fell in love with the same woman.
His wife looked at him in surprise. A few seconds later, Aleksis realized what was happening and spontaneously covered his lips. "Gosh... no. That's not what I meant. Of course, they wouldn't fight over Lily. Lily will choose ... Hahahaha."
Lily suddenly smiled broadly, as if she understood what her aunt was implying. Her father was very surprised to see such a beautiful smile suddenly appeared on his baby's face. London screamed in panic and reached out, "Get me my cellphone ... camera, whatever... I have to capture this. Lily just smiled!!! Did you all see that!!???"
The whole family just laughed, seeing London frantically hastily recording Lily's smiling face and repeatedly cl.i.c.k.i.n.g in admiration. "This baby is so beautiful when she smiles. She is not like other babies who looked like monkeys when they were born. Very beautiful! The most beautiful baby in the world ..."
Everyone could only roll their eyes to hear London say the same thing over and over again since Lily was born. The man was very proud of his only child. There wasn't a single thing about Lily that was not important to him, and he didn't get tired of praising Lily in front of anyone who had ears.
"Don't worry; there are some cameras up there." Alaric pointed casually at several points above their heads. "The whole place is equipped with a super HD surveillance camera system. I will have the system send all of Lily's videos to you."
"Ahh ... that is AWESOME! I will be very grateful. Thank you."
"It's okay. After all, Lily will become a daughter-in-law of the Medici family." Alaric just shrugged nonchalantly. Apparently, he agreed with his wife's joke just now.
"Eh? Daughter-in-law of the Medici family?" London frowned. "Lily will be married to one of your children, you mean?"
He pointed at Ireland and Scotland who were lying on their respective baskets, and staring at him intently as if they understood he was talking about them.
"So what?" Alaric narrowed his eyes, and his voice now sounded dangerous. "My sons are very handsome and smart. Do you think they are not good enough for your daughter?"
London could only swallow and massaged his temple. Alaric was indeed very scary when it came to his children.
Though that's not what London meant at all. He was just surprised to see how Aleksis and Alaric were so excited about getting Lily as their daughter in law. Those babies were only three months old. THREE MONTHS!
He never dreamed that he would let Lily marry any man. If needed, he would confine his only child on a high tower and only let her out when Lily was already a century old. He did not want Lily to lead such a carefree life like his sister Aleksis, who eventually got married in secret when she was very young.
Once Lily was married, she would definitely leave home and follow her husband. London was not willing to let it happen so fast. What the heck... Was his sister talking about an arranged marriage between three-month-old babies ??
Although he was upset, London had learned to no longer dare to offend Alaric about his children. That's why London did not reply when Alaric questioned him whether his sons were considered unfit to be Lily's husband. London finally pretended to pick up a phone call from Jan to avoid the question.
"Hi, Jan. Yes, I'm now in Targu Mures. Don't forget to send me the report about the award ceremony to my email tomorrow morning. Thank you." He hung up and put his cellphone in his pocket. He then looked up at Aleksis as if nothing had happened. "Where did your servants store Lily's milk? I think she's getting hungry. I need to warm some and feed her."
Aleksis knew that London was trying to change the subject and smiled broadly. "You can follow Cyg to the kitchen. He'll show you the place."
The android servant called Cyg immediately appeared before London and gave the signal for the man to follow him. London quickly disappeared to the kitchen to prepare milk for Lily.
After London disappeared from view, Aleksis hurriedly rebuked her husband.
"You scared him," Aleksis commented while laughing. "You know I was just kidding. These babies are still very little."
Alaric just shrugged.
He knew Aleksis was joking, but he wasn't.
He watched Lily lying in the basket, between his two handsome sons. Lily's intelligent eyes followed his movements and stared at him intently. Alaric really liked that baby girl. He seriously wanted to see one of his sons someday get Lily Schneider's heart when they grow up.
