Chapter 69 - Caspar is busy at home (2/2)
Finland covered her mouth in surprise... This was very unexpected...
Was this what kept Caspar busy all day?
Subconsciously she started looking for the man. She walked into her pavilion to look for Caspar. When she passed by the musicians, the conductor and the musicians nodded their heads in respect. They all bowed courteously as she passed. This felt so over the top.
”Finland...” she suddenly heard Caspar's voice from behind her. It turned out that the man had been behind Finland ever since she entered the rose garden, and was walking behind her towards her pavilion. Caspar tried his best to hold back his laughter when he saw Finland advancing slowly to see the lights turned on in front of her.
The girl turned and looked at Caspar who was dressed in different clothing than usual. He wore a white long-sleeved shirt decorated with lace, which made him look like a prince from the Victorian times. He was very elegant yet casual at the same time.
Everyday Caspar looked very handsome and perfect, and Finland did not know that he could even look more beautiful if he tried a little. Like tonight...
”Am I surprising you?” Caspar asked, opening his arms to show signs that he wanted to embrace Finland.
The girl blushed. She was stunned to see how good looking the man in front of her was, then walked slowly into his arms.
”Yeah, I'm a little surprised... What's this for?” Finland asked as she buried her head in Caspar's chest.
”Do you like it?”
”It's a bit over the top... But yes, I like it,” Finland nodded with a smile. ”What is this for?”
Caspar let go of her arms and he held Finland's hands. He stared at her like a puppy who just met his master after being left to go abroad for months.
”I love you,” he said softly. ”I have never met a woman who can draw my heart so strongly, like you. I can't stop thinking about you... I want to marry you and have many children from you.”
Finland gasped.
”Err... wait a minute... what… is this...” she swallowed hard, ”Are you proposing to me?”
”Finland, dear... please marry me. I can't live without you.”
Finland didn't exactly remember what happened after that. Her mind immediately went blank. She faintly heard the classical music played by the orchestra behind her, then Caspar came down on one knee and took out a ring with the biggest diamond she had ever seen. The diamond was soft pink in color, which was very rare.
Finland did not remember her answer, but suddenly Caspar placed the ring on her ring finger. The man kissed her hand, got up, and kissed her lips passionately.
They kissed for quite a long time, rocking slowly back and forth to the music, surrounded by thousands of lights that adorned the rose trees around her pavilion. The romantic songs played by the orchestra made the moment even more surreal.
