Caspar found his wife in the cabana in the lounge where they often met - where he would usually take a nap when Finland worked. The girl was sitting, huddled in the cabana with a sad face. Her position looked strange because she was trying to hug her knees but her huge stomach was in the way.

"Hey... my dear," Caspar sat beside Finland and rubbed her shoulders, "I'm sorry I didn't tell you about Sophia's arrival. I didn't want to upset you because I know what she did to us. The meeting was purely business-related and it's over. There will never be any more businesses with her. We were just talking briefly about what happened with Alexei after the meeting."

Finland turned to Caspar with a still gaze, "What happened with Alexei?"

"Hmm... Lauriel gave him Death, and because he was no longer part of the Alchemists, he must not keep the knowledge about our people, so Lauriel also gave him the memory potion after he obtained all the information he needed. Sophia could not bear to abandon her brother, so she had arranged for Alexei to go to Switzerland and live quietly there. According to her, losing his immortality and his memory was a punishment commensurate with Alexei's actions."

"You can't let him off that easily! He almost killed Aleksis!!" Finland protested.

"I agree with you, but I can't force Sophia. After all, Alexei is her biological brother, and they have been together for more than 300 years. I've sent my people to watch over him to make sure that he doesn't do anything else..." Caspar smiled and touched Finland's knee, "Are you not sore sitting in this position? Do you want me to give you a massage?"

Finland pursed her lips. She already saw that her legs were a bit swollen and tears soon fell on her cheeks again. She was very upset for crying like this. Why couldn't she just return to her elegant self…? Ugh.

"I was called fat..." She whispered softly.

Caspar was stunned to hear her speak in such a poignant voice. Seeing her sad made his heart hurt. "Who said that ??"

"It's doesn't matter who said that..." Finland covered her face with both hands, "I am fat, and now I'm not pretty anymore..."

"Gosh, Finland... you're NOT fat. You're pregnant, and you're the most beautiful woman I know. So, I really don't understand why that would make you so sad..." Caspar looked at Finland with a pair of confused eyes, "Are you jealous because you saw Sophia with me?"

Finland lowered her hands from her face. Her lips frowned, and she slowly nodded.

"I know that she always had a crush on you... and she is very beautiful. I was very jealous seeing you two together in your room. You did not tell me that she was coming..." she said in an accusing voice, "Are you ashamed to show your fat wife to her?"

Caspar laughed so happily that his voice could be heard by other people in the lounge who began to pay attention to their cabana. He then hugged Finland intimately and whispered in her ear, "I'm so happy because finally my wife is jealous like this. I feel loved..."

Finland tried to struggle but Caspar did not want to let go of his arms.

"Why didn't you tell me about her coming here?" Finland was still trying to protest.

"I didn't tell you because Sophia is not important. I don't want you to be angry and come to kill her. Right now, my only concern is your feelings and emotions. I don't want your pregnancy to be disturbed because you get angry when you see Sophia's face. I am not ashamed to show you to the world, I will walk beside you proudly, forever."

Caspar finally loosened his arms and looked at Finland deeply, "Do you really want to meet Sophia? I can bring you to meet her now, but please promise not to kill her..."

"Huh... of course, because you promised to protect her." hissed Finland.

"No... not anymore. The debts between us are settled. I have nothing to do with her anymore." said Caspar.

His deep gaze and sweet smile combined with his pair of heart-melting dimples finally managed to melt Finland's heart, and a few minutes later, the girl nodded.

"Alright. I really don't want to meet her... If I see her face I will lose my patience and throw a vase or a chair to her face..." Finland said in disgust

"Ah... are you still able to lift a chair?" teased Caspar. "Please don't, Honey. No need to lift heavy things. If you need some exercise we can do something else that is not so strenuous and more enjoyable."

"Ughhhh..." Finland hit Caspar's shoulders because the man seemed outrageously happy just because he saw Finland jealous. "Stop grinning... I'm sensitive and I want to hit people."

She then rose from the cabana and walked out of the lounge to the elevator.

Caspar followed her out of the cabana and as he walked toward the elevator, he realized that the people in the lounge were all staring at him in amazement.

Ah, surely they already knew that he was with Finland in the cabana. In the not-too-distant future, rumors about them would spread like wildfire in this office, but Caspar didn't care. After all, they would be gone soon.

He couldn't help whistling happily as he took the elevator to the 35th floor. Finland had disappeared with the previous elevator to the 20th floor.
