Chapter 718 - Weekend With Lily (1/2)
London briefly explained what happened at the Luxe Magazine office and the reasons why he made this decision. Finland could only sigh. She remembered 30 years ago when faced with a similar problem, she also decided to leave.
At that time, she did find it difficult to trust Caspar entirely because of their differences in status and how Caspar had a bad past as a womanizer. Meanwhile, Finland did not want to stay away from Jean, who always made Caspar jealous.
In the end, after they were separated for a long time and realized that they must compromise and learn to understand each other's feelings, then Caspar and Finland could reunite with a better relationship. They now always tried to understand and respect each other's opinions.
Now, after listening to London about what happened, Finland agreed with his decision. She could not bear to see her son sad and filled with jealousy and resentment because L insisted on keeping their relationship a secret for the sake of her career.
”I will move here and share custody of Lily with her. We can stop the wedding preparation. There will be no wedding for now. Later, L and I will see what we have to do next. I think, right now, she needs time to become more m.a.t.u.r.e. I also need time to organize my feelings.”
Although he sounded calm, Finland could see how depressed her son was. With great sympathy, Finland embraced London and rubbed his head.
”Good things come to those who wait, and everything will be beautiful in time. I am delighted to see you grow into such a good man, Sweetheart. Lily is very fortunate to have a father like you.”
Caspar just watched the scene with a sympathetic face.
Ah ... He did not expect his children would experience love this early. He had thought they would be like other Alchemist clan members who would wait to find love after they were at least 100 years old.
Aleksis married Alaric impulsively when she was not even 20 years old. And, his son already had his own baby and almost got married. He was only 28 years old. Still too young. Too young, he muttered over and over.
”Then, how about you come to Targu Mures with us?” Finland asked after letting London go from her arms. ”The whole family will gather. At least maybe meeting your siblings will make you feel happy again.”
London had thought of that before, but he still didn't want to part with Lily.
”I don't think I will come this time. Tonight L has to perform in an award ceremony. I want to take care of Lily.” He reluctantly declined the offer.
”Why don't you bring Lily with you? She's used to drinking milk from a bottle too, right? You can just bring some milk with you. We can help taking care of Lily too.” Finland suggested. She also wanted to take Lily along, if L will be busy working.
”Hmm ... I didn't think of that before. I'll ask L's permission to bring Lily with me.” London placed his suitcase in his room and packed his personal belongings. He then came out and called L to ask for her opinion.
”Hmm .. how long do you want to take Lily?” L asked in a tone of disapproval, but she tried to stop herself from sounding defensive. ”I actually don't quite agree. But ...”
