章 550: We Are Late. So Late! **

Alaric tried to stay still so as to not wake up Aleksis who looked very soundly asleep. He decided to continue lying down to enjoy the warmth of her body in his arms.

A couple of moments later, he caught sight of the digital clock on the wall which was telling him that it was already 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Hmm ... the wedding party should have started by now. Why didn't anyone come to wake us up? he wondered.

He then smiled when he realized that the rest of his family had tacitly let him and Aleksis rest.

His family ...

Ah, that was a word that was very foreign to him, but very soothing.

Alaric remembered that for almost a hundred years he always felt lonely. The feeling persisted until he met Aleksis. Then again, they immediately got separated since back then, they were both thinking that the other had died. After that, like a broken kite, Alaric returned to being alone.
