Chapter 141 - Ive received my karma, okay? (2/2)

”During his engagement to Katia, Caspar was never faithful,” Rory answered indifferently, ”What assures you that he won't sleep with other women while he is with you? Maybe he even has children out there.”

”You insult me too much, Lauriel...” Caspar said suddenly. ”I know you are a perfect man who is wise and always right. But I can change... I'm not like who I was before.”

Rory stared at Aleksis for a long time, then looked at Caspar and shook his head. ”I'm afraid I still see you as who you were before.”

Finland was reading several reports when Rory came in with Aleksis.

”Where are you guys from?” she asked. She put down her documents and took Aleksis from Rory.

”Here nearby, I met with an old friend.” Rory turned the water on boiler to prepare tea. ”What tea would you like?”

”Fruit-flavored tea, thank you.” Finland answered. She kissed her child lovingly. ”How long have you not seen your friend?”

”Quite a long time. We used to go on adventures together. We parted when I had a girlfriend and no longer dated one woman after another. But it turns out that he hasn't changed until now.”

Rory handed Finland a cup of tea and sat on the couch to enjoy his own tea.

”Oh, I didn't know you had a girlfriend,” Finland was interested to hear it. ”Where is she now?”

”She is dead. I have lived alone for a long time. Until I met you.” Rory looked at Finland and Aleksis with loving eyes.

”Oh... I'm sorry.”

”It's okay. It has been a long time...” Rory took a sip of his tea and was suddenly lost in thought. He actually sent a message to Caspar to see each other when they arrived in Hong Kong.

Caspar agreed and arrived three days later. Rory did not expect that Sophia would come along with Caspar and it immediately discouraged him from telling Caspar about Finland. He saw that Caspar was still a womanizer who hooked up with different women.

He suspected Finland was just one of the many women Caspar dated when he was still engaged to Katia. For that reason Caspar did not know that Finland was pregnant. If Finland was really important to him, Caspar would certainly have no difficulties finding the girl… then he would know that she was pregnant with his child.

He looked at the mother and child who were sitting on the sofa opposite of him with a look of pity. He could not bear to tell Finland that the father of her child was currently with another woman and was not thinking about them at all.

”Finland... how are you going to look for Aleksis' father?” Rory asked later. ”If he doesn't want to be found, how will you find him?”

”That's impossible...” Finland said quickly. ”He will definitely be happy to meet me...”

”I'm just asking...” Rory's voice turned soft, ”What would you do if he didn't want to be found? If you really meant something to him, wouldn't he already be looking for you?”

Finland knew Rory was right. If Caspar did not want to be found, Finland couldn't do anything.

For nearly two years Caspar did not look for her, even though Jean had long woken up from his coma.

Did that mean Caspar had forgotten about her? Finland remembered that when she left Caspar, she said that their relationship had ended, and that he was free to meet and be with another woman if he met her before Jean woke up.

Did this mean Caspar had indeed forgotten about her...?

Those thoughts made her heart feel very heavy.
