When they finally returned to Singapore, Finland felt ready to work hard so she could apply for an extended leave from the end of the year to the end of January 2019.
When they landed back on the Continental Hotel rooftop, Jadeith and Ben were already waiting for them. Finland recalled Caspar saying that Jadeith was his nephew. She took a closer look at Jaedith, trying to find similarities between them.
Jadeith had long golden hair tied in a man bun, and his eyes were emerald green. He was a bit taller and more muscled than Caspar. At a glance he looked very different from Caspar who had black hair, blue eyes, a slender body, and more delicate features. Maybe Jadeith inherited more genes from his father.
When she asked Caspar about it, Finland got confirmation.
"Jadeith does look a lot like his father. He is a pure alchemist because he is immortal without having to take the immortality potion, because both Flora and Louis, his parents, are alchemists. Since Louis only took the potion when he turned 40, their children only stopped aging in their 30's. That's why Jadeith looks older than me." Caspar opened his cellphone and showed a photo, "This is Flora, Louis and their three children. You can see that Louis looks like he is in his 40's, Flora looks very young at an age of 22, and their children, Alexandrite, Garnet, and Jadeith look like they are in their 30's. "
Finland looked at the five people carefully. She could see the very obvious resemblance between Flora and Caspar. Their faces were almost the same, except that Flora's hair was golden. One thing all five of them had in common was that they all have very brilliant eyes. Finland remembered admiring Caspar's brilliant pair of blue eyes when they first met, and now she saw that the five alchemists on Caspar's cellphone also have very brilliant eyes.
"Does everyone in your family have such brilliant eyes... or is this the specific feature of an Alchemist?" she asked later.
Caspar cleared his throat, "You're very clever. The effect of the immortality potion is that all cells in our body become perfect and our eyes become brighter than that of an ordinary human. That's why I am able to recognize an alchemist only from his/her eyes."
Finland thought about Jadeith's brilliant green eyes. A vision of Katia came into her mind – Katia also had a very beautiful pair of brilliant blue eyes. It was like the saying, the eyes are a window to the soul... Finland thought that she would also be able to recognize an Alchemist from their eyes…
She looked into Caspar's eyes and admired how beautiful the color was. Finland herself had brown eyes that were not special. In her heart she hoped that their children would follow their father and inherit his pair of beautiful blue eyes...
"Why are you looking at me like that?" teased Caspar, "Are you thinking about our children's eye color?"
Oh God... can Alchemists also read minds? complained Finland inwardly.
"I..."
"Don't worry, I can't read minds, no way..." Caspar laughed, "I was just guessing, because you were talking about eye color and then you stared at my eyes with a strange look."
Pfew...
Finland nodded honestly, "I hope our children will have your eyes."
Caspar smiled very wide. He kissed Finland and immediately carried her into the bedroom. He didn't care whose eyes their children would take after. He was glad Finland was already thinking about being the mother of his children.
***
Finland was busy with work that whole week. She oversaw the arrangement of Katia's art exhibition and wanted to set up avenue before Christmas. She also spent a lot of time contacting Atlas Corp potential buyers and making appointments for B2B meetings in Indonesia.
She gave extra effort working on projects for Atlas Corp, because she knew that this company now belonged to Caspar. Which also meant that it was indirectly hers.
Every day she had breakfast and dinner with Caspar even though both of them were very busy, especially Caspar, who seemed to be out of the country a lot lately. He always tried to come home before dinner, and Finland was touched to see Caspar often arrive home earlier than her. She knew that he was super busy…
"Honey, can you take time off again in a few days?" Caspar asked after dinner when they were enjoying a dessert wine.
"I can't, I have to go to the office every day to look diligent and hardworking so I can apply for an extended leave at the end of this month." Finland shook her head, "Why?"
"Hmm..." Caspar unlocked his cellphone and contacted Stanis. "Stanis, Rosa Wang should fly here. Finland can't take any more leave."
Rosa Wang?
Finland knew that Rosa Wang was a very famous and widely discussed wedding dress designer. She appeared in a lot of magazines and is probably the most sought-after designer in the world. She lived in New York and bookings were usually made years in advance.
"Who should fly here?" asked Finland, confused.
"Rosa Wang is going to design and make your wedding dress. She lives in New York. I wanted to accompany you to her place for inspiration to make a wedding dress you'll like. I want Rosa to make it according to your taste. But if you can't take leave... It means I should fly Rosa here, so she knows what kind of dresses you like and make a dress for you. Otherwise your dress won't be ready for our wedding at the end of the year..."
Finland thought she had gotten used to all of Caspar's surprises, but apparently the man still had some tricks up his sleeve. Rosa Wang had a very long waiting list for wedding dresses.
A specially designed dress usually took 3-6 months to make and the price was very expensive. Still there were so many women who wanted their wedding dresses to be designed and made by Rosa Wang.
Rich girls would order Rosa's wedding gowns when they were teenagers, so that when it was time for them to get married, the dress would be ready. Her ready-to-wear lines were often sold out as soon as they were displayed in her store.
It was safe to say that wearing a Rosa Wang's mass-produced wedding dress was already considered prestigious for normal people, let alone the dresses she designed specially...
And Caspar wanted Rosa to make a special wedding dress in accordance to Finland's taste in less than a month?
