Chapter 152 - What do you want? (2/2)

”I was wrong... I left him, and I didn't keep my promise to contact him when Jean woke up from his coma. Maybe he was tired of waiting for me, and Sophia was there, beside him, comforting him. I lost his contact so I couldn't call him, until I got his number from you. You know how difficult it is to get access to people like him…” Finland rubbed her teary eyes,” I also gave more importance to Jean than to him when the shooting happened, so maybe he thought I loved Jean more than him... and he thought Aleksis was Jean's child...”

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 Finland, and Finland wasn't able to tell him about Aleksis in person...

Caspar was the one who refused to see her at the time.

”Aldebar says the Alchemists can't get divorced... Then what happens to us now? Is he currently still my husband, according to the rules of the Alchemists?” Finland asked with a face full of questions, ”I don't fully understand your systems yet...”

”Divorce is not something taboo in our society. It's just that there has never been any divorce in our history. All Alchemist couples who decide to get married have gone through a very long and mature relationship, so that no one changes their minds halfway.” Lauriel said, ”But, of course, if you want to separate, there isn't a single rule in this world that can force you to be together.”

”Oh...”

”Do you still love him?” Lauriel asked in a calm voice.

Finland did not answer.

”What do you want?” Lauriel asked again.

”I want to meet Caspar and tell him about Aleksis...” Finally, Finland spoke up, almost in a whisper. ”I am sorry...”

Lauriel stared at Finland for a long time, and then nodded.

”OK.”
