"By the way, did the kids already know you met Marie?" Alaric asked again.
"Not yet. They are busy with their study trip. I will call Altair and Vega tonight to tell them that I cannot go to Bordeaux to see them. Tomorrow, I will explain in more detail about everything," Nicolae knew he needed to prepare well to give this news to Altair and Vega. They would be happy for him, but at the same time, they would be shocked. "Oh, by the way... have you asked Mischa to stop by Bordeaux?"
"He will be there tomorrow. Mischa said he met Vega in the elevator. Did you know that?" Alaric asked. "That's funny. Mischa didn't recognize her. Vega doesn't know what Mischa is like, right? Mischa only found out that it was my daughter after he met you yesterday."
"Well, they have never met before," Nicolae commented, "Can't blame them. But I'm very happy that Mischa can watch the kids. They will be safe."
"I think so too. I'm glad I don't have to bother you all the time. I guess you really need personal time with your own family," Alaric sounded very happy for his brother. "I will tell Aleksis this good news."
"Thank you. I'll talk to you later via Virconnect in two hours after dinner, okay..." Nicolae said excitedly.
"Of course. We also need to have lunch first."
Because of the time difference between Paris and New York, when Nicolae was preparing dinner in France, Alaric, Aleksis, and their boys were actually getting ready for lunch.

Nicolae heard the front door knocked. He immediately opened the door to the penthouse for the chefs and staff who came to prepare a special dinner for him and his little family. After letting them work in the kitchen, Nicolae called his father.
"Hey, Nic ... How are you?" Lauriel's voice came on the other end of the phone. The sound of the waves behind his father made Nicolae curious, where his father might be.
"Hello, Father. I have important news," Nicolae said. "Can you talk in two hours? I want to introduce Marie and Summer to you and Alaric."
"Marie and Summer? Who are they?" Lauriel asked in puzzlement. "Well, of course. I am not busy."
"My wife and daughter, Father!" said Nicolae enthusiastically. "I have found them. It turns out that Marie is not dead. My daughter too! Marie deliberately faked her death and moved to Paris. I was wrong all this time ... My family is still alive, Father!"
For a moment, Nicolae didn't hear his father make any sound on the other end of the phone. The man was silent. He was very moved and utterly speechless.
"I'm very happy to hear that," After a while, Lauriel's reply was heard. His voice was rather hoarse because he held back his emotion. "I can't wait to see them."
"I am very happy, Father ..." Nicolae said in a voice filled with emotion. He understood his father's feelings. They both had a similar fate. They thought the woman they loved died with their child, and both Nicolae and Lauriel shared a feeling of guilt.
Luckily for Nicolae, it turned out that Marie was actually still alive. They only separated for six years, and he could finally meet the girl again with a bonus of having Summer, their child who had grown into an adorable little girl.
While Lauriel had to keep his grief for more than a hundred years, and his wound was never properly healed because Luna really died. It took more than a hundred years for Lauriel to let go of his girlfriend ... and now he had finally found a new love.
"I want to formalize my marriage with Marie as soon as possible, Father ..." Nicolae said. "I'm thinking of throwing a wedding in Grosetto this summer. Do you think it can be done?"
"Of course. I will talk to Luca to prepare everything." Lauriel paused for a moment and then continued in a happier tone. "I'm very happy for you."
"Thank you, Father ... Tonight, I will tell Marie about our family, then propose to her properly. After that, I want to formally introduce you to Father and also Alaric."
"Very well. I will wait," Lauriel said later.
"Thank you."
Nicolae hung up and kept his cellphone in the room. He immediately headed to Summer's room to meet Marie and their daughter. There he saw Marie drying Summer's hair and combing it.
His daughter was wearing one of the dresses Nicolae had bought from the marketplace yesterday. What a perfect daughter, thought Nicolae. The beautiful view of the mother and child in front of him momentarily stunned him.
"Hey, you're here," Marie said, aware of Nicolae's presence in the room. "We are ready."
"Let's go to the terrace while waiting for the food to be prepared. I want us to enjoy the sunset together." Nicolae took Marie and Summer then walked to the outside terrace, which was located close to the dining room.
The chef and the two staff who were preparing a meal for the little family nodded respectfully as they watched them walk by. Nicolae nodded back at them.
"I still can't believe we invited a personal chef to cook us dinner," Marie commented, glancing toward the kitchen.
Nicolae just laughed at that. "There are still so many things that will surprise you. I hope you won't get tired of being surprised..."
"Like what?" Marie asked curiously. "I already know that you are Wolf; then your brother turned out to be Elios Linden; Altair and Vega are your niece and nephew and also your godchildren ... Hmm. What else is there to know?"
"Don't forget, I'm also a doctor," Nicolae said.
"Ohh .. I thought you're just joking!" exclaimed Marie with a pair of rounded eyes. "So it's real?"
Nicolae nodded. "That's right. I am a specialist in internal medicine, but I haven't practiced for a long time."
"Jeez ..." Marie looked at Nicolae in surprise. "I didn't expect that to be true ..."
