Chapter 153 - Sleepover (2/2)

”Aleksis is my goddaughter anyway, her happiness is my priority.” Lauriel finished his wine and then took his and Finland's glass to the kitchen. He returned to the library with pillows and blankets. ”Let's talk about what to do tomorrow; how to find Caspar and how to cure Jean. You'd better go to sleep now, tomorrow you have to go to work, right? Or do you want to call in sick?”

”Uhmm... no, I have an important meeting tomorrow.” Finland took the pillow and blanket from Lauriel and spread it on the couch. ”Thank you for the blanket...”

”The pillows and blanket are for me. I will sleep on the couch. You sleep in my room.” Lauriel laughed at the confused girl, ”How can I let a woman sleep on the sofa? I'll take you to my room.”

Finland was surprised and involuntarily followed Lauriel, who held her hand, into the master bedroom.

”I... I'm a guest here, I should just sleep on the couch...” she stammered. Lauriel placed Finland's bag on the bedside table next to the bed.

”I left the guest room above empty because I never received any guests. But if you and Aleksis will sleepover here often, I can prepare a nice guest room for you. For the time being, you can sleep in my room. I still want to read in the library.”

Lauriel walked out the door and suddenly Finland came to her senses. She hurriedly chased after Lauriel and hugged his waist from behind.

”Rory...” She stammered, ”Th... thank you.”

”Hmm.” Lauriel patted Finland's hands around his waist but said nothing. As Finland loosened her hug and let go, he continued to walk out of the room and did not turn his head.

Finland could not sleep at all that night. Lauriel's bed was very comfortable, because it was made of the most expensive memory foam, but even so, Finland couldn't keep her eyes closed. Various thoughts raged in her head.

She couldn't believe that she let Sophia deceive her for a whole year. Thinking about it, she felt very annoyed. She wanted to meet Caspar as soon as possible and ask him in person why he did not want to meet Finland at that time... She also very badly wanted to tell him about Aleksis...

And oh, Lauriel may also be able to cure Jean... This made her heart flutter. She really missed her best friend. The only reason why she was able to survive her miserable life in the past was because she could talk to Jean every day. However, for almost 3 years now she couldn't talk to him anymore.

This really stressed her out...

She was very grateful that Lauriel entered her life at the right time. She could not imagine if Lauriel hadn't saved her when she fainted after Jean's heart-breaking call two years ago. Doctors said that if she had fallen hard on the sidewalk, the baby in her womb could have died. At that time, she had to bedrest for two weeks before giving birth to Aleksis.

That was not the only time Lauriel helped her. After that incident, the man had helped her and Aleksis numerous times for the past two years...

Without Lauriel, Aleksis wouldn't be living such a healthy and happy life by her side...
