Chapter 86 - Souvenirs from Seattle (1/2)

Jean was right, flowers could make a woman's heart melt, and it was evident because Finland finally forgave Caspar after he sent her a lot of flowers.

Caspar initially thought of only sending ten bouquets of flowers, but then he thought that the more flowers he sent, the more her heart would melt. So, more flowers equals to a bigger chance of being forgiven.

The text he was waiting for came at 10:00 pm Seattle time, when, finally, Finland told him to stop sending flowers because she had forgiven him.

Finland had indeed forgiven him, but until his last day in Seattle, the girl did not call nor sent him a message. Caspar finally realized that he still had to apologize to her in person and so he immediately returned to Singapore.

That afternoon when Finland was walking into the park after work to meet Ben who was picking her up, she was surprised to find Caspar already in the car.

”Why... are you home already?” Finland asked in surprise. ”Why come here? Not directly to the mansion?”

Caspar came out of the car and pulled Finland into his arms. He said nothing for a few minutes.

”I came here directly from the airport. I'm sorry that I have a bad sense of humor...” Caspar said finally. ”I don't like making you cry.”

Finland broke free from Caspar's arms and sat next to him. ”Okay. You're forgiven. Now let's go home.”

”I want to introduce you to Famke, so you won't be jealous anymore...” said Caspar.

”I'm tired and don't want to meet anyone,” Finland replied. Her face looked flat.

”Oh, alright. Then, next time.” Caspar nodded. He took out two boxes from the cabinet and gave them to Finland. ”This is a gift for you from Seattle.”

Finland received the first box and opened its contents. Inside the wooden box was a key.
