Chapter 922 - You Are Always Joking
After calling Marion, Nicolae decided to call Caspar and let him know what had happened. After all, Caspar was the clan leader. Nicolae wanted Caspar to officiate his marriage to Marie. He also had to make sure that Aldebar would make an immortality potion for his wife and daughter.
From the beginning, the relationship between Nicolae and the Schneider family was very good. Caspar and Finland already considered him like their own son and they really want to see him happy. Therefore, the news that Nicolae brought today, that he had found Marie and their child, made the couple very happy.
Finland even pressed her lips with joy and her eyes became teary because she was touched. She and Caspar exchanged glances, and both of them looked very happy.
"Marie, Sweetheart... come here," Nicolae said to Marie, who was standing by the doorway with Summer. He wanted to show his wife and daughter to Caspar and Finland. The girl walked over and sat next to Nicolae while holding Summer.
When she saw?Caspar Schneider and Finland Schneider, Marie immediately sighed in surprise. Her eyes went round. She didn't expect them to look so young.
"Gosh ..." She turned to Nicolae. "Are they...?"
Nicolae nodded. "That's right. This is Uncle Caspar and Auntie Finland. Uhm ... it was a bit strange at first to call them Uncle and Auntie because we looked like we are of the same age. I also had to get used to it for quite a long time. You know, I didn't understand that I was an Alchemist. I was living like a regular human. Things like this were very shocking to me at first. "
"Hi, Marie ... We are very pleased to meet you," Finland said kindly. "Wow ... you look so good together. And, oh ... your daughter Summer is so cute and adorable."
Summer smiled shyly, hearing the two beautiful people in front of her praised her. She squeezed her mother's hand. Marie seemed very pleased to see how the Schneider couple was treating her very warmly. She slowly felt relaxed around them.
"Nicolae is like our own son," Caspar said, smiling. "We are happy to see him happy."
Marie and Nicolae exchanged glances and nodded. Both of their faces were filled with smiles.
"I'm happy too," Marie confessed. "Nic and I love each other, and we want to be together forever."
"Ahh ... young people," Caspar murmured, shrugging his wife's shoulder. "Reminds me of us decades ago."
"Uhm .. I'm still young," said Finland, chuckling. "You are not young anymore."
Caspar pinched his wife and pulled her to his l.a.p. "Did you just call me old?"
Marie could feel her face turning red when she saw the couple in front of them acting so lovey-dovey. She unconsciously coughed and looked away. Nicolae just smiled and held her hand tenderly.
He and many people have become accustomed to Caspar's intimate treatment of his wife. He understood that Marie was still surprised and unfamiliar with the things related to the clan and the people she had met so far.
"Uncle, if you don't mind, we hope you could officiate our wedding on August 1," Nicolae said later. "Marie and I decided to remarry in Grosseto. We feel that a wedding in the summer will be a good time."
"Ah, I'm happy to hear that. Of course. We will prepare everything," Caspar said. "I will also ask Aldebar to prepare an immortality potion for Marie and Summer."
"Thank you very much, Uncle," said Nicolae.
"Of course," Caspar smiled broadly and looked at Marie and Summer in turn. "Welcome to our family."

All the way back to Paris, Vega looked very cheerful. She daydreamed a lot, and Tatiana had to pinch her several times because Vega didn't reply to her question. Her mind didn't seem to be with her body.
"What's wrong with you? What is on your mind?" Tatiana asked in amazement.
Vega turned to her best friend and blinked his eyes several times. "Me? Are you talking to me?"
"Yeah, who else am I talking to? Unless the bus window can talk, of course, I'm talking to you ..." hissed Tatiana annoyed. "Are you thinking about that s.e.xy uncle from that time? What happened between you two? You never told me, even though I am your best friend!"
Vega raised an eyebrow, pretending to be surprised at Tatiana's question. "Why do you really want to know?"
"I'm just curious. The thing is you look so weird lately," Tatiana said with a frown. "Are you in love?"
Vega, who was sipping juice from her tumbler, suddenly spouted her drink.
"Jeez ... Tatia! You're too much," grumbled the girl. "Actually ... let me tell you something..."
"What is it?" Tatiana asked curiously.
"Uhm ... actually, that s.e.xy uncle is ..." Vega cleared her throat and then answered with an amused face. "He is my foster brother."
"Ah, no way! You must be joking. He looks older than your father. How can he be your foster brother," said Tatiana. "If you're joking, don't go too far."
Vega looked at Tatiana, who shook her head in annoyance. She was amused to see Tatiana still insisting that Vega was only joking.
"I'm telling the truth," Vega said. "So ... he is my biological father's foster son. Do you know who my biological father is? His name is Elios Linden. He owns Rhionen-Meier Industries."
Tatiana rolled her eyes and clicked in annoyance. "You are always joking and making fun of my serious questions. I don't want to talk to you anymore."
Vega just laughed at Tatiana's response. Since she saw how Tatiana couldn't believe that Mischa was her foster brother, Vega deliberately mentioned her father's identity to test whether Tatiana would still consider her joking or not.
It turned out, sure enough, Tatiana thought Vega was joking and she became increasingly annoyed.
Tatiana did not want to talk to Vega again along the way so that the girl could finally get a peaceful sleep on the bus.
Vega couldn't wait to arrive at the hotel and get ready. She would take Mischa to dinner one last time before they left Paris.
