Chapter 147 - Im not in a hurry (2/2)

”I'm not used to accepting other people's kindness,” She said later. She could not accept Lauriel's offer. ”Tell me, what's your real reason? There's no way you want to do all that for a child who has no blood relation with you...”

Lauriel shook his head at the stubborn girl…

”You've received my kindness for the past year, have I ever shown that I have an ulterior motive? I don't need anything in this world. I have everything. If I wanted something in return, wouldn't I have asked for it a long time ago?”

”But there is no such human...” hissed Finland. ”Sorry, I'm a pessimist. I can't believe that someone can be nice to others without wanting anything in return...”

Lauriel stared at Finland for a long time and then something struck in his mind.

”Hmm... do you think I want you?”

Finland did not answer. She recalled that in Singapore, Lauriel held her hand and began to behave somewhat differently.

”Don't you think I can get any woman I want?” Lauriel asked again.

”That is true,” said Finland softly. ”But the fact is that you are here with me and Aleksis. It's been a year - since we first met – and you have never left us.”

Finally, Lauriel smiled and nodded slowly.

”Hmm... you're right.”

Finland took a deep breath. She already suspected this.

”I'm sorry... my wounds are still very fresh. I don't know when my heart will recover and be able to open up to others.” Finland looked away sadly. She wanted to hide her tears. ”You are very kind, but I can't be with you.”

”It's OK, Finland. I can wait.” Lauriel smiled gently. ”I'm not in a hurry.”.
