Chapter 155 - Making Plans (1/2)

Finland and Lauriel went to a Vietnamese restaurant for lunch. Lauriel and Aleksis attracted a lot of side glances from people along the way from the office to the restaurant. Both of them looked stunning.

All the women who saw them wanted to have a child as beautiful as the little angel who was walking slowly between Finland and Lauriel, chattering happily like a bird. They also wanted to have the handsome man who was walking next to Finland, lovingly holding the little angel.

Finland could only roll her eyes when she saw many women throwing jealous glances at her. She was very happy when they finally entered the restaurant and could hide themselves in a corner of the room.

She thought of Caspar, who didn't like eating out because he loved his privacy. Finland realized that the man must very often attract people's attention because of his good looks, and finally only chose to eat out when he could close the restaurant to the public.

”You're not bothered by people's staring at you?” Finland asked when they were sitting at the table and reading the menu. ”Wow... they gave us the wrong menu, this is in Vietnamese.”

Finland was just about to call the waiter to ask for an English menu, when Lauriel stopped her.

”I understand Vietnamese. I can translate it for you...” He then read the names of the foods and ingredients written on the Vietnamese menu . ”You like soup and noodles, right? Here they have beef or chicken pho. You just have to choose.”

Finland was quite shocked to hear it, and involuntarily she nodded, ”Uhm... okay, I'll order beef Pho. Thank you.”

The fact that Lauriel spoke many languages shouldn't have surprised her. The man had lived for a very long time and had traveled the world for centuries. He was also an expert on plants. It would definitely not be difficult for him to learn various foreign languages during his travels. In many ways, Lauriel reminded her of Caspar.

”Why are you looking at me like that?” Lauriel asked with a smile. ”Did I just impress you?”

Finland was touched and nodded, ”I didn't know you could speak Vietnamese. There are so many things I don't know about you...”

”Hmm... I haven't impressed a girl in a very long time. Not bad,” Lauriel said with a chuckle. He called the waiter and then in fluent Vietnamese mentioned their order.

The server was as surprised as Finland was and for a short moment she failed to take down the order. After realizing her mistake, she hurriedly apologized. She then noted Lauriel's order and immediately went to the kitchen with smiling face.

”Do you want to call Caspar to arrange for a meet-up?” Lauriel asked when their food was served. He placed the napkin on Aleksis' neck, who sat on his lap, and asked the little girl. ”Do you want spring roll?”

”Yes, please, Uncle Rory.” Aleksis nodded and took the spring roll Lauriel had given her and then ate very politely.

Finland felt proud because her child, even though she was still so young, understood table manner and did not make a fuss or play with food like most other children. Lauriel really taught the child how to behave like a princess when Finland was busy working.

”Uhm... yes, I want to meet him. This isn't something that can be talked about over the phone...” Finland said softly. ”But last year he refused to see me. Maybe if I contact him again he would still refuse. I don't know what the reason was...”

”Hmm...” Lauriel transferred some Pho into a smaller bowl and handed the spoon to Aleksis. ”I can contact him for you.”

”Are you sure?” Finland asked hopefully.

”Hm...” Lauriel took out his phone and dialed Caspar's number while Finland looked at him anxiously. Every ring that passed made her heart pound even harder.
