Chapter 641 - The Enchanting Song

All those present were very surprised to see the gift given by Aldebar to Alaric. Only Caspar, who didn't seem surprised. He just smiled and nodded at what was happening.

Finland turned and paid attention to her husband. Inwardly, she could guess Caspar had planned this with Aldebar in secret, then gave it as a surprise to Alaric. Finland really felt touched.

When she imagined how ten years ago there was a big misunderstanding between Alaric and Caspar that made them hated each other, she felt tired. Fortunately, now, they had all changed.

She especially saw a massive change in Alaric. After finding his wife and two children, even his father and brother, the man no longer resented humans.

Indeed, there were still many things that he didn't like about people, like the way most people treat nature and the way they are in society. But, he was no longer taking active action to get rid of humans who he deemed unfit to live on this earth.

RMI also canceled a number of projects that would directly make it difficult for ordinary people to compete with machines, all of which showed that Alaric had apparently become more tolerant and patient.

This was the reason Caspar now liked his son-in-law and not only gave him the blessing to live with his only daughter, but also his blessings for Alaric to someday replace him as the clan leader. He knew Nicolae was not at all interested in taking the role.

After Alaric received the box containing the immortality potion and let go of his embrace from Aldebar, Aleksis took Alaric's hand and squeezed it gently. They looked at each other and smiled.

Aleksis understood the excitement felt by her husband, and she wanted to show her support.

She also really liked Mischa and Takeshi since they met ten years ago. She still hadn't had a chance to meet Kai and Rosalien, but Aleksis believed she would also like Alaric's other two foster children.

Alaric then turned to Takeshi and held out his hand, giving a signal for Takeshi to come closer. "Come here."

"What's wrong, Sir?" Takeshi asked politely. He had heard Aldebar's words, and his c.h.e.s.t was now pounding because he could guess that Alaric had called him to hand him the immortality potion. He walked toward Alaric respectfully.

"You've heard Uncle Aldebar's words for yourself. Do you want the gift of immortality with me?" Alaric asked, looking at Takeshi with a warm smile. Takeshi remembered his foster father rarely smiled, but now he did change and even looked happy.

"I ... this is huge and unexpected, Sir," Takeshi confessed. "I need to think about it."

Alaric understood him. Not all humans wanted immortality. He had heard that it took Finland several years before deciding to accept the immortality potion. That's why Aleksis and London were not born as pure alchemists, they had to drink the same potion when they were both young.

"Of course, take as much time as you need to think. I invite you with Mischa, Rosalien, and Kai to come to our house next month to celebrate my birthday and, at the same time to give this gift of immortality to each of you."

Alaric always felt at ease being alone and did not want to be close to anyone because he was afraid that everyone close to him would die and leave him alone. Now, he had a large family and relatives who filled his heart with affection.

Even his four foster children would now have the opportunity to live as immortals with him, if they wished. He sometimes felt the need to pinch himself and ensure that his life now was not a dream.

After receiving the gift from Aldebar, the party resumed with an atmosphere full of warmth. Alaric and Aleksis had decided that after their children were old enough to fly, they will move to Yorkshire and stay there for a long time. They would only return to Singapore when winter arrived, so they don't have to be bothered by snow.

While everyone was busy chatting and drinking, London looked at his watch. After making sure that it was not too early in Germany, he decided to contact L to ask how she was doing.

He knew that L was currently staying in the St. Laurent Hotel suite at the company's expense. Jan succeeded in getting their apartment building manager to issue a pest control letter. So, inevitably L was forced out of their apartment while the whole building was isolated to be sterilized from pests.

Brilliant Mind Media provided a suite in the most expensive hotel in Berlin for two weeks for L with guaranteed security and confidentiality. The girl could live peacefully without London, so he didn't have to worry about L's situation in Berlin after he left.

At first, London really wanted L to stay in his penthouse. Still, he realized that Jan would have difficulty moving L there without revealing London's identity. That's why he accepted Jan to move L to the suite, which was good enough because everything was provided in the hotel. It was also quite close to the penthouse itself.

[I am okay. Still staying in the suite because our apartment is being sterilized from pests. It's not good for the baby.]

L's reply came in ten minutes later and made London very happy. He then decided to call L so he could hear her voice.

"Hey ... I'm glad to hear you're fine. I'll be home in a few days." London moved into the library to find privacy when he talked to L.

"Hmm ..." L only answered with an unclear murmur.

"Ah ... but I really miss Lily. Can I see you? Can you turn on Virconnect there? I want to see Lily." London hurriedly added. "If you don't mind."

"Hmm ..."

"All right. Send the Virconnect account number in the suite, let me contact you. I also want to see what suite you live in now," London said excitedly.

Ten seconds later, he received Virconnect's contact from L, and he excitedly contacted the girl via Virconnect. He really wanted to know what kind of suite Jan provides for his future baby's mother. If it's not satisfactory, London will have a reason to scold Jan.

Ah, he also really wanted to see L and be near her, even though only virtually. Five minutes later, his Virconnect call was connected. He saw L sitting by a piano in a beautiful large living room decorated with large floor to ceiling windows with brightly colored curtains.

"Ahh ... the place looks very nice," said London. "Do you like staying there?"

L nodded. "I like the piano. I can practice singing here often."

"Oh ... what song are you practicing?" asked London, walking over and observing the piano. "New song?"

L looked up at him and nodded.

"Yes. I just wrote it. I can sing it for you." L pressed a few keys, then after a short warm-up, she began playing the piano skillfully, and her lips began to sing an enchanting song.

Her voice was clear and rich. She sounded ten times more enchanting than usual. London stood stunned with a pair of rounded eyes, listening to L's song with his body transfixed. L made London look enchanted by her amazing voice.

London was not aware that the library door was being opened slowly, and one by one, his family members were peeking. When L started singing, suddenly everyone in the garden was fascinated. They were curious to hear such a beautiful voice and decided to see where it came from.

Finland, Caspar, Lauriel, Terry, and Rune watched London, who was rooted in his place while listening to a gorgeous girl playing the piano and singing. They could guess who the girl was from London's attitude towards her and from her growing belly.

Was this the girl that London liked?
