The Prince Who Cannot Fall In Love & The Missing Heiress

Fae hurriedly got out of bed and took a shower. After she finished showering and washing her hair, she immediately chose the most beautiful dress from the walk-in closet. Her appearance looked so different from when she was still living in the village.

Fae was still as beautiful as ever, but her appearance, clad in a very expensive-looking outfit, became far more attractive. She looked exquisite and classy when she stepped into the dining room and met Ren.

"I forgot to say thank you for all the clothes you bought for me," said the girl shyly.

Ren stared at Fae unblinking for a few moments, and then he smiled broadly and nodded in approval.

"The dress looks so beautiful on you," he said. "You can have them all. I hope you like them."

"Oh .. I love them!" said Fae excitedly. "Thank you. You have good taste."

"Hmm .. I didn't choose them myself. They were all taken care of by Amelia," said Ren casually. "Someday, you will meet her. She is my secretary. She takes care of all my personal needs."

"Oh ..." Fae immediately felt a sense of discomfort when she heard Ren mention the name of another woman in front of her. Ren had a secretary who took care of his personal matters? Were they close?

Somehow, Fae was a little jealous. She didn't know why she felt that way. After all, she and Ren did not have a special relationship ...

But, they had slept together before, and last night Ren also slept in her bed ... was it all meaningless?

Then .. what was her relationship with Ren now? What will happen between them? Will Fae continue to live here? 

"You seem to have a lot on your mind," Ren commented. "Better have breakfast first. After breakfast, we'll discuss what we should do next."

Fae froze in her place. Ren always seemed to be able to read her thoughts.

"Hm .. alright." Finally, the girl nodded and sat down beside Ren and started enjoying the breakfast chef had prepared for them. The two of them then ate without saying anything else.

"What should I do now?" asked Fae when they had finished eating. "This is not my home, and I don't know anyone in the capital."

"Hmm .. you know me," said Ren calmly.

"You don't count ..." said Fae. "I mean .. I know you're busy. I can't possibly bother you."

"You never bother me," said Ren again. "Even though I'm busy, I'll always make time for you."

Fae was deeply moved by Ren's last words. She felt very spoiled. Fae knew how busy this man was with all the state duties he was carrying on his shoulders.

"Sir .. uhm .. Ren .." Fae immediately remembered that Ren didn't want to be called 'Sir' again now that Fee was no longer his personal maid. "What is the relationship between us now? You asked me to come with you to the capital .. before my grandmother died."

"That's right. I will not take back my words," said Ren confirmed. "I want you to stay with me."

"With you? Here?" Fae couldn't believe her ears. "But this is a..."

"You can stay here as my girlfriend," said Ren firmly. "Or do you prefer to live in a house that I provide for you, and live your life... like a mistress?"

Fae was stunned at Ren's words. She really hated that word 'misstress'. She didn't want to be any rich man's mistress, but she wanted to live with Ren. She was confused about how she should respond to this situation.

"I don't want to be your mistress ..." said the girl in a weak voice. "But I do want to be close to you."

"Does that mean you agree to be my girlfriend?" Ren asked with a faint smile. The girl was always fascinated when she saw Ren smiling and couldn't immediately answer for a few seconds.

"Do you like me that way?" Finally, Fae asked back.

Ren nodded. "I don't understand why I can feel things like this for you so quickly. I don't know what to do with you, Fae .. Frankly, you confuse me."

Fae understood what Ren meant. They only met 12 days ago, but it looked like their relationship now had gone so deep. Not only had the two of them slept together, they also looked like they had known each other for a long time. The feeling of awkwardness between them was now almost non-existent.

"Come here ..." Ren signaled for Fae to come closer. With some hesitation, the girl walked over to Ren. Once Fae was within his reach, Ren immediately pulled Fae into his lap. He then hugged the girl. "I want you to stay here and always be close to me. I will let you do whatever you want. You can go to school or work for me .. whichever you like."

"Hmm ..." Fae closed her eyes and enjoyed the scent of Ren's body, which she really liked. She weighed her options carefully. She would love to live with Ren, but she didn't want to depend completely on him. After all, they were not husband and wife and Ren was not obliged to support her. Fae was young and able to support herself.

"So .. what do you want? I'll help make it happen," said Ren softly.

Fae opened her eyes and looked at Ren intently. "I want to work and pay for my own school. I'm young and can earn my own money."

Ren stared back at Fae with an astonished look. He was about to say something to prevent Fae from working for someone else ... but then he changed his mind.

"Hmm .. is that what you want? Do you want to work and make money for your needs? Why don't you let me support you? After all, I brought you to the capital. At least let me take responsibility for you," said Ren.

Fae shook her head lightly. "No need. You are not responsible for me. My grandmother is dead, and I have no more reason to stay in Rhine. I will definitely go to the capital to find work. So .. it just so happened that you brought me here first. "

"Hmm .. what do you want to do? I can find a job for you. You can work for me ..."

Fae hurriedly stopped Ren by placing her index finger on the man's lips.

"Ugh .. you don't have to do that. I don't want people to give me a job because of you. I'm not comfortable that way. Later, my co-workers won't like me because they think I get the job because of nepotism," the girl said quickly. "I'm able to find work on my own. I can work in a cafe or a restaurant. I'm very good at working with guests. I can do it in the afternoon until the evening, and in the morning I'll go to school. I prefer it that way. Besides.. whatever relationship we have right now is only temporary."

Ren was amazed by the girl's persistence. It was easy for him to give her whatever she needed. But as it turned out, Fae preferred to work to support herself.

Ren sighed and seemed to think about Fae's words for a moment.

Whatever relationship they have now ... was only temporary.

"You only want to be supported if you become my wife?" asked Ren as he looked deeply at Fae.. "We can get married."
