Chapter 115 - Going to Sacre Coeur (1/2)

Jean's apartment in Paris, like his apartment in Singapore, had one bedroom but a slightly larger living room and kitchen. Finland immediately felt at home when she entered the apartment. In contrast to his apartment in Singapore, which looked more minimalist and stiffer, Jean's apartment in Paris had more color and looked more vibrant.

”I like the arrangement,” Finland praised. ”Your taste is always good.”

”Thank you. A little messy, I haven't had time to tidy up... ahahaha.”

Jean turned on the heating and then brought Finland's suitcase to his bedroom and placed it in a corner. ”Now that you've become someone's wife, I have to keep my distance a little. You sleep in the bedroom, I'll sleep on the couch.”

”Ouch, Jean... I am the guest, therefore I should be the one sleeping on the couch!” Finland protested.

”Ahahaha... my couch is really comfortable. You don't need to worry about me,” Jean laughed. He then took out a bottle of Baileys from the refrigerator and poured each of them a glass. ”Let's take a break first to warm ourselves up. Later this afternoon, we will take a walk to Sacre Coeur. It is quite a walk up there, so consider it a workout ... hahaha...”

Sacre Coeur was one of the old churches in Paris which was very famous. It was located at the summit of the butte Montmartre, which was the highest point in the city. The view of the city of Paris from the hill was very beautiful, which was why many tourists flock to visit it at any time of the year.

They sat enjoying Baileys while chatting about Jean's work and the city of Paris. Finland was very amazed to see so many magazines in Jean's apartment that contained his photographs.

She also noticed that, when they were walking to the apartment, several people turned their heads and looked twice when passing them, as if they recognized Jean from somewhere. When landing at the airport of Charles de Gaulle, Finland also saw Jean's face on the billboard for a perfume ad.

”Billie asked me to be a model in her new video clip later,” Jean said when the TV featured Billie Yves's music. ”By the way, she sent her regards...”

”Really? Whoaaa...” Finland's face suddenly felt hot. Her idol apparently still remembered her! ”Where is she now?”

”She has returned to the States. She has completed a new album and will launch it soon. The first video single from her new album will be shot in Paris. She asked me to be a star in her music video.”

”Wow... so cool!! I can't wait to see the video.”

”You'll be the first to see it,” Jean said happily. The Baileys in his glass was gone and he took his coat, ”Let's go for a walk.”

Jean had bought a Navigo card for Finland so they could take the metro and bus everywhere. He wore a thick coat, gloves, a beanie hat and a wool scarf that protected his neck. When they were walking toward the metro station, he finally noticed that Finland was not wearing a wool beanie and gloves. He looked astonished.

”Aren't you cold? Why don't you bring a beanie and gloves?” he asked.

Finland, who just went to Europe for the first time, only carried a jacket, a pullover, and a thick scarf. She did not have a beanie and gloves. She did not know what the temperature in the winter would feel like and that the blowing wind could make her whole body cold, because the hands and ears had many nerves and was too exposed to cold air.

Now she understood why many people went out wearing gloves and ear protectors or wool hats in the winter.

”I didn't know that I needed beanies... I thought people wear them just for fashion,” Finland admitted in a low voice.
