Chapter 204 - How many children do you want? (2/2)
”Uhm... okay... okay... how about three? I am of three siblings... It would be nice if our children can have brothers or sisters who are close-knitted and warm. I'm very close to Flora and Aldebar,” Caspar said finally; his voice sounded serious. ”In my opinion, my brother and sister are the best things in my life after our parents died.”
”Uhm... okay. Three still makes sense,” Finland nodded. ”Now we already have two, which means – only one more to go.”
It took ten seconds for Caspar to realize the meaning behind Finland's words.
He swerved his car to the side suddenly and pulled over. His body stiffened.
”Wha... what did you say?” He then looked at Finland, confused. ”Oh my... Are you pregnant? Really??”
Finland nodded.
”I should have had my period a few days ago, but I didn't. I checked with two different test packs this morning and the results were both positive. I wanted to share the news with you when we are having a romantic dinner or something... hahaha...” Finland stroked Caspar's cheek while she laughed. She was so amused by the looks on his face. ”But I can't stand it anymore because today you really fascinated me.”
Caspar immediately got out of the car then opened the passenger door. He signaled Finland to come out.
”Uhm... why?” Finland asked in confusion as she got out of the car.
”Because I want to hug you properly...” Caspar immediately pulled the girl into his arms and whispered tenderly in her ear. ”I love you... Thank you for coming back to my life. Thank you for giving me a new family...”
Finland was deeply moved, she buried her face in Caspar's chest and cried softly. She felt very touched. Her chest was filled with overflowing happiness. Now she felt that her life was truly complete, and she felt grateful. This was where she should be. This was her home. She belonged with this man and their children.
They did not care about the people passing by the road who stared at them enviously. The attention of the two humans was only focused on each other.
”This is a special moment. I want to take you to a special place...” whispered Caspar, ”Tonight we don't have to go back to your apartment, right? I want us to spend the night at home in Palo Alto. You will like the place, the house is beautiful...”
Finland knew that she and Caspar had similar tastes about home. She was sure that she would like the house Caspar liked. But Palo Alto was so far from her office.
”But I have to work tomorrow...” Finland said doubtfully.
”Tomorrow you just rest with me at home. I'll spoil you. Tony will understand. You can come to the office the day after tomorrow,” Caspar said calmly, but his tone was indisputable.
”Uhm... okay.” Finland finally gave up.
Caspar kissed her warmly and finally let go of his arms.
”Let us go home.”
