When the hot romance finally ended, Finland was anxious but relieved. They can still hurry up and clean up and come to the board of directors' meeting. However, who knows, it turns out that her perverted husband suddenly kissed her nape and kneaded her b.r.e.a.s.ts again.

"Hey! What if they sent staff here to look for us??? They will find us like this," she scolded Caspar. Finland tried to get away from her husband's embrace and patted the man's hand anxiously. "People know I already have a husband. If they catch me sleeping with you here, my reputation will be destroyed."

Caspar finally relented. He chuckled and got out of bed and hugged his wife's body from behind.

"It's your fault for being so s.e.xy and alluring," he teased her. Caspar turned Finland's body around to face him and kissed her lips tenderly. "Let's get dressed and come to the meeting."

He patted his wife's b.u.t.t then laughed mischievously. Ahhh .. he felt so happy today. He had forgotten how much fun it was to have secret s.e.x in a public place. The adrenaline rush only added to the p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e!

Finland again pinched her husband's arm hard before hurrying into the bathroom to clean up and then put on her clothes. Actually, she and Caspar put several sets of clothes for change in Caspar's office. However, even though Finland wanted to change into a fresh set of outfit, she couldn't.

People would wonder why she changed her clothes and they might suspect that she and the big boss were doing inappropriate things in his room ... and even worse, they would think she was cheating on her husband by having an affair with the boss since they didn't know that her husband IS actually the boss himself.

No way! She must not risk it!

Once they arrived in New York, Rune and Lauriel immediately headed for Alaric and Aleksis mansion in Manhattan. The two had drinks with Alaric and Aleksis and vented their longing for each other before Lauriel said goodbye to go and stay at Nicolae's house.

"Father, can you come to have dinner here with us tomorrow night?" asked Aleksis as she led Lauriel to the courtyard.

Her father-in-law nodded with a smile. "Of course."

Lauriel was very happy with his life now. In the past, he used to move around from city to city, from one hotel to another, and live alone, going on adventures. He remembered that he only bought a house in the city when he met Finland and Aleksis in San Francisco.

Because he really loved little Aleksis and wanted to look after her while Finland was working, he decided to buy a house in the Painted Ladies area and stayed there for two years, until finally Aleksis met her real father and moved with him to Germany.

Since then, Lauriel decided to live not far from Aleksis. After the girl was older, he often took Aleksis on adventures.

Now, he could split his time between Alaric's and Nicolae's house and Rosalien's house. Lauriel had almost forgotten what it was like to live alone. He was delighted because now Alaric and Nicolae also had their own family and children. In fact, Vega, his eldest granddaughter, was already married and had her own family too.

Vega loved Romania very much and preferred to live there now. She was leading such a peaceful life with her husband after years of suffering. Lauriel often spent time there with Vega's family, when he was in Europe.

Ahhh .... how nice it was to divide his time between his children, grandchildren, and girlfriend in different continents. Lauriel felt that his life was now complete.

When he arrived at Nicolae's house, he was greeted by his granddaughter, Summer, 15 years old. This teenage girl was so beautiful. Unlike the twins Ireland and Scotland, Summer could still attend the school like normal kids.

Her family was not very well known like the Lindens, so she could enjoy life as an ordinary teenager. Her father worked as a professor at a university, and her mother worked as a writer. They were always with her to make sure Summer could have a good childhood and normal life like other teenagers while at the same time making sure she was always safe.

"Where did you come from this time?" asked Summer, who clung to her grandfather's arm. She was always happy when Lauriel came to visit because her grandfather always had stories about his adventures that were very exciting and fun.

"I had been out adventuring in the Amazon," said Lauriel, ruffling Summer's beautiful hair. "Where is your father?"

"Father is still teaching. He usually comes home late in the evening," said Summer in her crisp voice.

"Hello, Father..." Marie, who heard the voice of Summer and Lauriel's conversation, immediately entered from the side door. She put her book on the table and hugged Lauriel. "You look so fresh."

"Ahaha .. well, that's how it is when you get rich and healthy oxygen intake," said Lauriel. "It's hard to get rich, clean oxygen in a big city nowadays. Sometimes I am tempted to just move to the Amazon."

Marie laughed at her father-in-law's words. "Oh, aren't we all?"

After Nicolae came home from university, they sat down to dinner together and exchanged news.

***

Dinner in the Lindens' home was very pleasant.

"Ahhh .. it's great to be together with all of you like this," said Lauriel with a happy face. He raised his wine glass and invited all those present at the dinner at Alaric's mansion to toast. "Let's toast to our family."

"Cheers!" they all said in unison.

Ireland and Scotland sat with Summer in the corner of the table to Lauriel's left, while their parents sat on Lauriel's right. They were enjoying dinner together.

As usual, when Lauriel came to New York, Alaric and Nicolae would have dinner with their two families and talk about the latest news among the family and the development of the world.

Lauriel felt that this dinner was the right moment to tell his two sons that he and Rosalien had decided to get married soon. He hoped that Alaric and Nicolae would not be too surprised and could accept his decision well.

"Actually, I have something to announce to you, while now we are gathering," said Lauriel after sipping his wine. He cleared his throat and continued speaking. "Rosalien and I .... have decided to get married next spring."

He glanced at Alaric and Nicolae in turn, trying to judge their reactions. Surprisingly ... the two men didn't seem surprised at all. This made Lauriel frown.

"Uhm ... you guys won't say something?" Lauriel asked them.

Alaric and Nicolae exchanged glances. They weren't surprised to hear this announcement from their father because Caspar leaked the news to them not too long ago. Ahh ... they should have pretended to look shocked at least.....

"Ahh .. this is very good news," said Nicolae, while smiling broadly. "I'm very happy for you, Father."

He then got up from his chair to approach Lauriel and hugged his father.

"I'm happy too," said Alaric. He also followed in Nicolae's footsteps, stood up, and hugged his father. His expression seemed filled with emotion. "We will always support you to be happy."

Lauriel patted the shoulders of his two sons turn and sighed.

"Thank goodness you can accept it. I thought you already knew ..." he said then, after sitting back in his chair. "Nobody knows about this plan, that Rosalien and want to marry. I want you to be the first to hear it from me."

Aleksis hiccupped at Lauriel's words just now. She and Marie exchanged glances with a knowing look and the two of them simultaneously drank their wines until they were all gone.

It felt very funny because Lauriel didn't know that Caspar had leaked his secret to Alaric who then told Nicolae about Lauriel's wedding plans.

Caspar didn't do that on purpose. He was just too happy and excited when he found out that FINALLY Lauriel was getting married.

"I am very happy to hear that Father and Rosalien have decided to get married. We will come to the wedding and bring lots of gifts," commented Aleksis, lips smiling broadly.

"Ah .. you don't need to bring any gifts," said Lauriel happily.

He was pleased to see his family's response to his and Rosalien's upcoming wedding. He knew they just wanted to see him happy, but deep down, Lauriel was worried that Alaric and Nicolae would think he was no longer thinking about Luna. Luckily they didn't think that way.
