Chapter 93 - The first snow this year

"Well... you newlyweds, please take a rest. In a few hours we will have a grand dinner to celebrate. Tomorrow, we will announce to everyone that there has been a wedding," Aldebar said.

Caspar did not wait for Finland to reply. He carried the girl out of the chapel, into the elevator, and up to the 3rd floor. He followed the traditional method of carrying his wife into their bedroom; bridal style.

Jadeith and Famke, who were waiting in front of the elevator on the 3rd floor, immediately opened the large wooden door so that Caspar could enter with Finland in his arms. The door was then closed behind them.

"Finally... you won't be able to change your mind now." Caspar said happily. He carefully laid Finland on the bed. Their room was decorated with beautiful flowers and romantic candles. "You are bound to me for life."

He sat next to Finland and hugged her waist.

"You are so beautiful today, I can't believe my luck." Caspar said later. He buried his face into the girl's hair, "I want to live with you forever..."

Finland turned to her side and faced her husband, who was looking at her full of adoration. Her heart felt warm. She did not realize that Caspar loved her this much. Those pair of blue eyes seemed to open a path to the man's deepest secret: in his heart there was only Finland.

Finland touched Caspar's cheek with her right hand, then came closer to kiss her husband's lips. Caspar welcomed her kiss immediately and responded more passionately.

The two immediately realized that they would miss dinner.

"I can ask the staff to deliver our food directly from the kitchen after we are done..." Caspar whispered in a husky voice, unbuttoning his shirt. "We don't have to have dinner with my family..."

Finland nodded with a blushing smile.

The next day Finland woke up feeling cold. They forgot to close the window before falling asleep and now cold air entered through the window. Despite the heaters in the room and the thick blanket, Finland could still feel the cold penetrating her bones.

Finland touched her cold face and opened her eyes. She directed her gaze to the open window. When she saw white snowflakes falling down outside the window, she gave out a small excited shriek.

Her voice woke Caspar who was asleep spooning her. The man opened his eyes and looked at Finland. "What is it, Honey?"

"Look at that..." whispered Finland. She pointed to the window.

Caspar remembered that Finland had never seen snow before, and the girl was very fascinated to see the small snowflakes floating down in the air, as seen from their open window.

"The first snow this year..." Caspar said with a smile. "Do you want to take a closer look?"

Finland nodded. Caspar got up and took out two kimonos from the cupboard. He wore the bigger one and handed the other one to Finland, so that she could get out of bed without feeling too cold. He then made two cups of tea for them and brought them to the window.

Finland, who was wearing her kimono, walked over to him and received her cup of tea.

"It's cold..." she said.

Caspar pulled a comfortable chair and took their blanket from the bed. He sat on the chair and gave a sign for Finland to sit on his lap.

"Sit here, so we can enjoy your first snow experience."

After Finland sat on his lap holding her teacup, Caspar covered their bodies with the blanket. Both of their bodies became very warm. They watched the snow fall, tea cups in hand, and whispered sweet words of love to each other.

After they finished their tea, they continued enjoying the view outside the window, hugging each other until the last snowflake fell.
