Chapter 166 - Trip to Colmar (2) (2/2)

They walked together to the restaurant and enjoyed their dinner with a glass of Finland's favorite glow wine. Everything felt like a movie being played back for Finland. In the past, they had dinner several times in this restaurant, too. Too bad Jean was unable to remember anything from their previous trip to Colmar.

”Thank you for taking me to Colmar. You should rest... tomorrow we will visit Uncle Etienne in the village. He is my father's friend whom you met several times when you came to Colmar. He must be happy to see you again.”

”All right. You rest too, see you in the morning,” Jean replied.

Finland talked to Lauriel on the phone in the lobby for a few minutes to ask how he and Aleksis were doing before she went up to her room. She was delighted to hear the voices of the two who had just sailed and were now resting in the remote tribal village in Belem. She really missed Aleksis.

”Alright, you must be a good girl and don't trouble Uncle Rory too much, okay... I love you, Aleksis.”

”I love you, Mum.”

Finland put down her phone and then took a shower to freshen up before going to sleep. Since meeting Jean, her sad heart slowly began to heal, and she had begun to smile.

After completing her business in Singapore, she would be ready to meet Caspar in Scotland. She hoped the misunderstandings between them could be resolved soon and they could get back together.

With thoughts filled with hope, Finland could finally sleep peacefully.

She woke up to the touch of a soft hand caressing her face gently. When she opened her eyes, Finland saw a face that she had been longing for so long, staring at her from above. Those pair of bright blue eyes looked so sad.

”Cas... Caspar?”

No answer.

Finland touched Caspar's hand that just touched her face and held it tight.

This must be a dream because she drank too much glow wine tonight. Finland closed her eyes again, and this time, she slept with a smile on her lips.

Caspar sighed very softly, and after making sure that Finland was really asleep, he carefully let go of her hand. He then stood there, staring at the girl he never stopped loving as his body froze in place. He tried hard to resist the urge to touch her again. Earlier he almost woke her up.

When dawn came, he quickly slipped out of her room and disappeared.
