Chapter 148 - Teaser for this week: don't read if you hate spoilers

I have a bad habit of spoiling bits and pieces of my stories (without ruining the plot). I am very excited about this week's chapters because so many good things will happen. I'll let you take a peak and know what to expect =).

Stop reading if you hate spoilers. You've been warned.

PS: The text still needs editing, so please bear with it for now =)

SPOILER STARTS HERE:

####################

Finland held her chest that suddenly felt painful. If she had known from the start that Lauriel was an Alchemist, she could have gotten Caspar's phone number sooner and she could have contacted him as soon as Jean woke up from his coma. Maybe Caspar would be with her now, and not with Sophia.

Lauriel looked at Finland with a complicated look.

"I know you were sad, but I never forced you to tell me about yourself... I thought, if you trust me enough, you will open yourself up to me, and when that happens, I will also open myself to you," He sighed, " I never thought that even though we meet every day, and I take care of your daughter, you need two years to start opening yourself to me... I wouldn't have known who Aleksis' father was if we hadn't been rejected from the Continental Hotel last year."

Finland was now aware that most of what happened was her own fault. It was very difficult for her to trust other people and open herself to others.

Lauriel, who treated her so well, never forced her to tell him anything she didn't want him to know. As a result, two years passed before she was able to tell him about Jean and what happened between her and Caspar.

"Sorry... it's my fault. I should have trusted you..." Finland whispered in a sad voice. "I really have a hard time trusting people. It's a bad habit that is hard to change."

###################

Lauriel shook his head. "It looks like you are misinformed, Finland. Caspar doesn't know whose daughter Aleksis is. When I brought Aleksis with me, he asked who the child was. I introduced Aleksis as my daughter. At that time I didn't know Caspar was her father..."

"But Sophia said that Caspar knew that I was pregnant and thought Aleksis was Jean's daughter. That's the reason why he decided to move on from me." said Finland with a bitter tone.

"Why do you believe Sophia's words?" Lauriel became impatient, "Sophia always had a crush on Caspar. She might have tricked you into leaving him."

Finland was suddenly stunned. She had never thought like that before. She never got the chance to talk to Caspar. At that time, he only sent Sophia to meet her, and Finland wasn't able to tell him about Aleksis in person...

###################

"Hi Jean, do you want some coffee? I brought extra for you," Lily De Vries, his co-star in the movie, opened the trailer door after knocking twice. She handed a cup of coffee to Jean who was reading the script and sat next to him. "Today more women came claiming to be your friend. Geez ... those women would do anything just so they can meet you."

"Hmm ..." Jean nodded tiredly. Since the press conference at that time, there have been a lot of calls and women who have been trying to meet him, claiming to be Finland. After meeting dozens of impostors, he almost gave up hope and didn't expect to see Finland again.

"But at least this one isn't as brutal as the other girls. She was polite and she gave you a present." Lily pulled a box out of her coat pocket, "The music box is beautiful. If you don't like it, just give it to me..."

Jean accepted the music box with a frown. He opened it and slowly La Vien Rose was playing from the box. He was stunned, this music box felt very familiar.

"Where is the person who gave you this music box?" he asked quickly.

"I met her at the gate. She had been waiting for hours, she said, no one would let her in, because when she saw me she immediately stopped me. I said I would deliver the gift to you." Lily looked at Jean in surprise. "Why?"

Jean immediately ran out of the trailer looking for Finland.

Finland gasped, she immediately turned toward the origin of the voice and found the man she missed was kneeling beside her, and his face looked very worried.

"Caspar ...? You're here ...?" She asked in disbelief. She touched Caspar's face while shaking her head, "This must be my imagination ... because I miss you so much ... I finally went crazy ..."

Finland really thought she was only hallucinating. Caspar can't suddenly appear before her like this right? She thought because she was missing him so much, her mind tricked her like this.

"You miss me...?" Caspar frowned, he didn't understand what Finland was saying. "What do you mean?"

Finland, who thought Caspar in front of her, was only a hallucination, could not stop herself from embracing Caspar and crying on his chest. "I miss you every day ... I can't hold it anymore. I want to talk to you and meet you one last time ..."

Jadeith had arrived and drove away all the staff and guests who were still in the lobby to give the two of them privacy, and in an instant the large space had become quiet. Only there were Finland and Caspar in each other's embrace and only her sobs could be heard.

"I don't understand ..." Caspar didn't know how to behave when the woman he loved cried in his chest. He refrained from rubbing the girl's head and calming her. "Did something happen ...?"

"I'm sorry, because I was so angry with you and left you because of what happened to Jean ..." Finland sobbed, not realizing that their surroundings were now empty. "I did not tell you that I was pregnant, because I was afraid you would never let me go ... and at that time I wanted to get away from you. I met Lauriel in America and he helped me a lot since our child was born ... Lauriel considers Aleksis like his own daughter because Aleksis gave him a reason to continue living... "

"W ... what did you say? Lauriel's child is MY child?" Caspar was devastated. He did not expect this at all. He remembered from the beginning Lauriel introduced Aleksis as his daughter, and he did not ask further. He did not think Aleksis was just an goddaughter to Lauriel. "Wh ... why didn't you tell me earlier?"
