Chapter 148 - Teaser for this week: dont read if you hate spoilers (1/2)

I have a bad habit of spoiling bits and pieces of my stories (without ruining the plot). I am very excited about this week's chapters because so many good things will happen. I'll let you take a peak and know what to expect =).

Stop reading if you hate spoilers. You've been warned.

PS: The text still needs editing, so please bear with it for now =)

SPOILER STARTS HERE:

Finland held her chest that suddenly felt painful. If she had known from the start that Lauriel was an Alchemist, she could have gotten Caspar's phone number sooner and she could have contacted him as soon as Jean woke up from his coma. Maybe Caspar would be with her now, and not with Sophia.

Lauriel looked at Finland with a complicated look.

”I know you were sad, but I never forced you to tell me about yourself... I thought, if you trust me enough, you will open yourself up to me, and when that happens, I will also open myself to you,” He sighed, ” I never thought that even though we meet every day, and I take care of your daughter, you need two years to start opening yourself to me... I wouldn't have known who Aleksis' father was if we hadn't been rejected from the Continental Hotel last year.”

Finland was now aware that most of what happened was her own fault. It was very difficult for her to trust other people and open herself to others.

Lauriel, who treated her so well, never forced her to tell him anything she didn't want him to know. As a result, two years passed before she was able to tell him about Jean and what happened between her and Caspar.

”Sorry... it's my fault. I should have trusted you...” Finland whispered in a sad voice. ”I really have a hard time trusting people. It's a bad habit that is hard to change.”

Lauriel shook his head. ”It looks like you are misinformed, Finland. Caspar doesn't know whose daughter Aleksis is. When I brought Aleksis with me, he asked who the child was. I introduced Aleksis as my daughter. At that time I didn't know Caspar was her father...”

”But Sophia said that Caspar knew that I was pregnant and thought Aleksis was Jean's daughter. That's the reason why he decided to move on from me.” said Finland with a bitter tone.

”Why do you believe Sophia's words?” Lauriel became impatient, ”Sophia always had a crush on Caspar. She might have tricked you into leaving him.”

Finland was suddenly stunned. She had never thought like that before. She never got the chance to talk to Caspar. At that time, he only sent Sophia to meet her, and Finland wasn't able to tell him about Aleksis in person...
