Chapter 71 - Moving out - Moving in

It's been two days and Caspar still had not left Finland's pavilion. He even asked John and Ms. Law to bring some of his clothes there. When Finland asked why he had not moved back to his room, Caspar gave no clear explanation.

"I just want to stay with you. Monday to Friday you are busy with work; only on weekends I can see you all day," complained Caspar. "You refused to quit working, even though I am able to fulfill all your needs and desires..."

"Honey, I am just enjoying my work life, I am happy to meet many people, and experience what it feels like to live as an adult." Finland held Caspar's hand and stroke his cheek, "I want to live a normal life as much as possible, so that I can prepare myself if one day I will follow you and become a part of the Alchemist clan. I don't want to look back and regret missing out a lot of things."

"So, you are considering it?" Caspar asked, hopeful.

"Yes. Give me a year... I want to work, enjoy my life as a normal person and slowly bid goodbye to Jean and my old life."

Caspar nodded in understanding. He had never met anyone who refused to live young forever. But Finland was not just anyone.

For her, taking the immortality was not luck but a sacrifice that must be made in order to be with the man she loved, even though Finland herself was an orphan who didn't have many friends. She only had one friend, Jean, and that was what made it more difficult.

Caspar realized that he came later in her life and so he had to respect the existing relationship between Finland and Jean which intertwined years before his presence.

"But don't you feel cramped in my pavilion?" Finland asked again. She thought about Caspar's penthouse at the Continental Hotel, which was almost 600 m2.

"I don't need space when I am with you," Caspar answered briefly.

"Oh, okay."

Actually, Finland was the one who needed a little space and privacy. These past two days Caspar was like a newly-adopted puppy who followed his owner (namely Finland) wherever she went.

Finland felt it was rather difficult to do other work or chat with Jean. She remembered that Jean seemed rather sad when he arrived in Paris yesterday. Finland wanted to know how he was now.

Finally, Finland decided to move into the main house, so they could have more space.

"Are you sure you want to move to the main house?" Caspar asked with a happy face.

"Yes, because my pavilion is too small for the both of us," replied Finland. She read many articles that said that people living in a cramped space tend to become more stressful and it could trigger fights.

"Okay. Then tonight we sleep in my room." Caspar said happily.

Finland had never entered Caspar's room. All this time she only entered the main house to go to the living room or the big kitchen which also functioned as the dining room.

She knew that on the ground floor there were two staff rooms, one library, one large master bedroom and several large rooms on the second floor. She did not know which room Caspar lived in.

"Let me show you my room," Caspar said as if reading Finland's mind. He held Finland's hand and guided her into the main house.

They went up to the second floor and Finland saw a large living room with a Victorian sofa comfortably facing the glass wall. On her left and right there was a large bedroom on each side.

Caspar took her to the room on the left.

"This is my room, the one opposite is the guest room, if my family decided to stop by." Caspar extended his arms to show a very spacious room, maybe 5x the size of the Finland's pavilion.

It had an elegant parquet floor, a very large four poster bed, a sofa, and some fitness equipment facing the large floor-to-ceiling windows. All furniture had elegant and masculine designs.

"Your room is very nice..." Finland said in awe. She couldn't help asking, "After we get married, do you want to stay in the same room or do we still have our own privacy?"

"How can we have children if we stay in different rooms?" Caspar asked her. "I don't want to stay apart. If you prefer your pavilion, I'll move into it..." He pulled out a small suitcase and began to put some of his clothes from the closet to the suitcase, making Finland shake her head.

"So, if I like this room more, I'm moving here?" Finland asked him.

"Precisely." Caspar stopped packing, "So, what now? Should I move or you?"

"I will move here..." Finland replied. "But I will need most of the walk-in closet. My clothes sent by La Pearl require so much space."

Caspar grinned and stood up to embrace Finland.

"Take it easy, my walk-in closet is for two people. You can use it all." He kissed Finland's lips with enthusiasm, "Or we can stay in the Penthouse too, it doesn't matter to me. Next year once you've had your fun living as a normal person, we will build a new house for us to live in. Or we can go to Germany and live in my family's castle. In New York, I also have a mansion. Actually, I have countless other properties throughout the world. Lots of choices."

Finland smiled at Caspar's behavior. This man was really adorable when he was in love like this. He followed Finland everywhere and his face always looked bright, really like a newly adopted puppy.

"I can move in here for now. We can have further discussions about where we want to live after we get married or when we move away from Singapore." Finland answered finally.

"Yesss!" Caspar looked happy. He hugged Finland and rushed down to ask his staff to take care of the girl's belongings.
