I Married An Immortal (The Alchemists)

Chapter 99 - How Much Did He Hear?

"All right, Billie Yves, Richard Waterston, then there's The Hue." He nodded. Caspar then asked, "How about you... do you know my favorite musicians?"

Finland nodded.

"You don't have a favorite musician. But you like all classical music."

Caspar looked embarrassed because Finland was right. His wife knew his music preferences, but he did not know his wife's music preferences. He promised himself to pay more attention and ask more questions.

Finland sighed, "You're used to getting things easy."

"Is it wrong?" Caspar asked. "I am used to living like this. If you don't want Billie Yves's private concert, I can take you to her concert like a normal person."

"There is nothing wrong with it," Finland said shaking her head slightly, "We are just used to different lifestyles. I don't know if I will ever get used to this lifestyle of yours."

Caspar grabbed Finland's hand and pointed to the stage, "Do you want to watch Billie Yves's concert with me now? Like a normal person..."

Finland finally smiled and nodded. They walked hand in hand to the front of the stage and enjoyed Billie's performance, clapping and dancing to the music. When Billie sang a romantic slow song,

Caspar hugged Finland and led her to dance. Many other guests also followed and danced to the music.

Jean who was standing on the side of the stage with a camera in his hand could only watch the couple's intimacy with a complicated look. He was happy for Finland, but sad for himself.

Song after song was sung and finally, Billie resigned from the stage. The MC invited the guests to continue enjoying food and drinks provided while a musical group performed a short version of a very famous Broadway drama. Finland was constantly surprised by Aldebar's choice of entertainment. He was truly a top-class art lover, seen from the choice of performances at his party.

Finland saw Jean wave to her from the side of the stage, next to him stood Billie who also waved. Her heart rustled because she didn't expect her idol to wave to her. Billie then went backstage and Jean signaled Finland to follow him.

Finland just managed to escape Caspar's embrace and started following Jean, when several people approached and congratulated them.

"Congratulations, Uncle for your wedding. We hope to have cousins soon." The five people who came were Jadeith, his brothers, and their partners.

"I'm Alexandrite," said a young, brown-haired and brilliant green-eyed man to Finland. He looked very similar to Louis. "I'm the first child. This is my wife, Olena."

"I'm Garnet, and this is my wife, Maura," said the other man with brown hair and brown eyes, also very much like Jadeith, "Our children are here, they will come around later and say hello after the other guests go home."

Jadeith smiled and nodded, "Aunty, you already know me."

Finland finally saw Flora's three children. They look just slightly older than their mother. She could not imagine her children looking the same age as her, forever... They would look like friends.

She didn't know if she would ever get used to all these abnormalities...

They talked for a while, but then more and more people started approaching Finland and Caspar. Caspar was the leader of the Alchemist clan so everyone wanted to talk to him and congratulate him. Jean, who saw that Finland was not following him, became worried. Billie would go home soon and he didn't want Finland to miss the opportunity to meet her idol in person.

Finally, he came to Finland.

Right when Jean approached her, Katia, Alexei, and Sophia approached Finland and Caspar.

"Congratulations, Finland and Caspar, for your wedding." Katia tried to force a smile. "I didn't expect it to be this soon..."

"Thank you," Caspar answered. He looked at Katia with a rather apologetic look. "I'm sorry."

"What is there to be sorry about? The heart wants what it wants. You were still not sure after being with me for 50 years, and here you are... after only six months ... you are convinced that you want to spend the rest of your life with her. There must be something right with Finland and wrong with me." Katia shook her head, "No need to apologize."

"Katia? You are here too?"

Jean's shocked voice surprised Finland. Katia also turned to the direction of the voice and when she saw Jean, she covered her own mouth instantly, realizing she just said something that Jean shouldn't hear.

How much did Jean hear? Did he hear everything?
