Nicolae was stunned by Terry's explanation. And slowly he had to agree. Without Aleksis, he would never have met his father. Lauriel would have died twenty years ago.
For this, he would was forever grateful to Aleksis. At this point, he did not mind that Lauriel loved Aleksis more than he loved him, his own son.
Nicolae and Terry then followed Aleksis and Lauriel into the kitchen. The aura of animosity between the two had now subsided. Nicolae actually felt touched because Terry seemed to understand him quite well. He came to remember that actually, behind Terry's annoying attitude, he had a pleasant personality.
He remembered having talked with Terry as 'Billie Jean' and they opened up to one another as orphans. Now that he knew Terry as Aleksis' older brother, he realized that the two of them were actually very similar.
Ahahaha... Nicolae is so hopelessly in love with Aleksis and he is so cute about his feelings.
Tomorrow I will post a very important spoiler (or maybe later today... we'll see). As always, if you're not into spoiler, you can skip the chapter (I will publish bonus chapter so you won't feel any loss).
If spoiler IS INDEED your cup of tea, I believe you'll LOVE IT!!! It's heartwarming and cute, and will definitely give you something to look forward to when going through the current angst.
Just a heads up, Volume 2 will have intense conflict but all loose ends will be tied beautifully in the end.
When Volume 2 ended two weeks ago in the original version, the Indonesian readers were mostly weeping in satisfaction. They were SO HAPPY with how the story went and they said Volume 2 is so much better than Volume 1.
So I hope, no matter what happens, you will stick till the end in this English version.
Current rating for the original is still 4.9 out of 5.0 from 2,472 reviews. It should say something about the story, right? I hope so. XD
