Nicolae smiled faintly, seeing Marie looked so happy.
Ah ... the girl was not the only one. Nicolae was very happy too. At that moment, he felt as if he had broken a curse placed on him by an evil witch who had made him only think of Aleksis.
He had never slept with Aleksis. He never even touched her sexually. He only kissed the girl after they were in a relationship for four years and were almost married, yet... he couldn't stop thinking about her.
In the past, he often imagined what it would be like to make love to her ... but he was very patient and willing to wait until they were married.
But now he would never know because Aleksis was already married to his brother.
Nicolae had never been sexually attracted to any woman in the past ten years. He had almost given up hope, thinking it would take decades or even a hundred years for him to be attracted to other women.
I'm really happy that Nic felt like his love curse had been broken. I felt sorry for him when he was still so in love with Aleksis and couldn't move on, when she was already married to his own brother.
