"Where do you know the guy?" Nicolae asked casually when they were driving down the highway back to the Nobel Hotel.
Marie took a deep breath. "We knew each other at Sanna and Julian's wedding. He had been friends with Julian since he was young. Julian himself was actually a good guy, but Larkin came from a mafia background. He asked me out several times, but I always told him that I didn't have time because I had to take care of Summer."
Nicolae understood what was happening. Larkin, who thought Marie was unique and fun, must have fallen in love with her when he met her. But after years he approached Marie, the girl still did not respond to his feelings.
"Is he the one you sent to look for Summer and kill the two kidnappers?" Nicolae asked again. "Does that mean he knows your identity as Goose?"
Marie nodded weakly. "Once Summer was kidnapped, I immediately tracked them down and found the culprit. But because I couldn't deal with them on my own, I was forced to ask Larkin for help. He was surprised to find out I could track these people, and I had no choice but to reveal to him my identity ..."
"Then what happened? Did you order him to kill the criminals?" Nicolae asked again. He could now understand Marion's explanation that the two kidnappers must have been killed by four sadistic men, not women.
In his heart, he felt relieved that Marie was not a murderer.
"No ... absolutely not. I just told Larkin who the culprit was and where they were. At that time, my priority was Summer's safety. I didn't want him to kill anyone," Marie said. "I was shocked when he said that they were all dead and Summer disappeared. You don't know how scared I was. I was devastated when they told me that Summer couldn't be found ..."
Nicolae took Marie's hand, which began to tremble as she recounted what had happened. He could imagine how panicked and scared Marie was. He would be scared to death if anything happened to his children.
"Sshh ... Summer is fine. I found her, and I looked after her. Everything is fine now."
Marie nodded. Her face looked very relieved. "I know. Thank you ... But at that time, I was terrified. I couldn't sleep for three days."
"You'll have to sleep a lot once all this is over to make up for it," Nicolae said, patting Marie's hand slowly. "We will soon go to Grosetto and calm our nerves down. Everything will be fine."
"Well ... so, Larkin came to the apartment because he was worried about me. I feel bad because I just left," Marie said again. "He helped me a lot."
"I'll repay him for everything he had done to you, don't worry. You don't need to think about him. Let me handle it," Nicolae said firmly.
Marie looked at the man from the side with an adoring look. She felt very relieved and safe. The tightness of his c.h.e.s.t slowly subsided.

They arrived back at the hotel and immediately brought Koi and Marie's backpack to the top floor. Summer, who saw the presence of her beloved dog, looked very happy. She jumped up and down on the spot and screamed with joy until Marion joined in her laughter.
"Koooooiiiiiiiiiiii ... My dear ... Koiiii!!! Honeyyyy!!"
The dachshund dog jumped in with excitement whe he was called by the owner and immediately pounced on Summer.
Both of them immediately rolled on the floor, laughing and growling. Marie was very moved to see the reunion of Koi and her daughter. Over the past few days, when Summer was gone, Koi also looked very sad and depressed.
Now they have all been reunited, and they were all happy again.
"Whaa.. I'm glad to see you all are here," Marion commented with a smile. "I will give you space to be with your family. I will pick up JM from the agency and later if you have time, I would love to have dinner together."
Nicolae nodded gratefully. "Thank you, Marion."
"Uh, I mean not dinner now, maybe tomorrow night," Marion added. "I guess you two need to talk privately first tonight, right?"
Nicolae understood Marion's intentions. Surely the woman meant he needed to talk to Marie about the secrets of their clan. Nicolae hadn't had the chance to tell Marie about his real identity.
He thanked Marion again for reminding him. Things like that should be discussed immediately. He did not want to keep such a big secret from Marie for a long time.
"I understand. Thank you for reminding me."
"You're welcome. Alright, I can only say ... congratulations!" Marion hugged Marie warmly. "Welcome to our family."
Marie was stunned to hear Marion's words. She did not understand. Do Marion and Nicolae have family relations?
Marion did not want to explain because she did not want to linger and bother the couple who obviously missed each other. She only smiled faintly after releasing Marie and then patted Niicolae's shoulder.
"See you later."
After Marion disappeared from the penthouse, Nicolae pulled Marie into his arms and very tenderly kissed the girl. His c.h.e.s.t was filled with overwhelming happiness. He just wanted to vent his love and longing for Marie because there was no outsider between them now.
Marie kissed him back. However, when the corner of her eye caught the figure of Summer and Koi looking at them with astonishment, she became awkward and tried to escape Nicolae's embrace.
"Uhmm ... Summer is watching us," Marie whispered in a shy voice.
"So? We haven't done bad things, have we?" Nicolae asked, pretending not to understand.
Marie pounded Nicolae's broad c.h.e.s.t while pretending to frown. "You..."
"Maman ... what were you doing with Uncle Nic?" asked Summer in her adorable little voice.
Marie glanced at Nicolae and then sat on the rug and took her daughter's l.a.p. "Don't call him Uncle Nic again, okay... That's Summer's Daddy."
Summer pressed her lips in surprise because she had forgotten to call her father as Uncle. Her expression was very funny and made Nicolae wanted to pinch her cute nose. He sat down beside Marie and stroked Summer's hair.
"Maman is right. From now on, Summer must call me Daddy, okay..."
Summer nodded happily. She then stretched out her hands and embraced Nicolae lovingly. "Daddy Nic ..."
Nicolae smiled happily at the call coming out of the lips of the cute daughter, who was his own biological child.
As it turned out, the universe wasn't that bad to him ...
He was reunited with the woman he loved and their child.
From now on, he would never complain again.
