Chapter 112 - Happy birthday, Mrs. Schneider! (1/2)
Finland was amazed to see so many old buildings and historical monuments scattered in the city. Time seemed to stop for her as she enjoyed the beauty of the city famous all over the world as the city of love.
[Happy birthday, Finland. May you always be happy.] Came a text from Jean while they were sitting enjoying crepes in Trocadero.
Finland knew that this past week Jean had been very busy with fashion week, but he still had the time to exchange news with Finland. The problem was that Finland hadn't had the chance to tell Jean that she was already in Paris now.
[Thank you. I can't wait to see you tomorrow to get a birthday present from you... hahaha.] She replied Jean's message jokingly.
[Relax, I've prepared it. By the way, what gift did your husband give you for your birthday?]
Finland turned to Caspar and realized that Caspar had not given her a birthday present yet.
She pursed her lips and pondered whether she should ask for a gift or not? Maybe the gift was their trip to Paris, their stay in a beautiful penthouse, and their dinner with a private chef… or… was breakfast in bed considered a birthday present?
”Who was the text from?” Caspar asked.
”Jean. He wished me a happy birthday. I asked him for a birthday present...” Finland said. She studied Caspar's face and tried to judge his expression. Would this make Caspar realize that he hasn't given her any birthday present yet?
”Oh...” Caspar didn't continue his question, which convinced Finland that this holiday was Caspar's birthday present for her.
All the miracles she experienced in Paris was indeed an amazing birthday present, and she felt grateful. Caspar didn't need to give her any more items as an extra gift.
”I still have a birthday present for you.” Suddenly Caspar said those magical words.
”What?”
Just when Finland stopped thinking about gifts, Caspar uttered that sentence, to the surprise of the girl.
”I'll give it to you after dinner.” He pointed at the Eiffel Tower, ”I reserved a space at the restaurant above for us.”
Oh... apparently the surprise on her birthday was not over yet...!
Caspar never stopped impressing her.
The restaurant above the Eiffel Tower was closed to the public that night. The dining experience felt far more memorable to Finland compared to her dinner at the Singapore Flyer.
