The Prince Who Cannot Fall In Love & The Missing Heiress

"What is this?" asked Fae in a startled voice.

"This is the ring my father gave my mother when he proposed to her." Ren looked a little emotional as he talked about his mother's ring. "My mother wore it until the moment she breathed her last. Even though she had so many other luxurious and expensive jewelry .. but this ring was her most treasured possession."

"Oh, Ren ..." Fae pressed her lips, looking emotional. Tears slowly dripping from her eyes. Ren's gesture made her feel so touched.

Ah .. this man was not romantic, but he was sincere and straightforward. His actions touched Fae's heart.

"I want you to have my mother's ring ..." Ren said in a hoarse voice. "I want you to have my most valuable possession."

Tears streaming down harder from Fae's beautiful brown eyes. The girl nodded weakly and held out her ring finger at Ren. The man rubbed his own wet eyes and put his mother's ring on Fae's ring finger.

He then kissed her hand. Ren's mother's ring was just the right size, slipping into Fae's finger as if it was made for her.

"Thank you .." Fae whispered softly.

Ren didn't reply. He had cupped Fae's face and brought his face closer to kiss her lips gently. Fae spontaneously returned Ren's kiss, and a moment later, the two of them were already making out on the bed.

"Hmm .. I'm so relieved ..." whispered Ren as he turned his head towards Fae, lying in his arms. "I've never been this impulsive, and I found myself loving it."

"How is it impulsive?" asked Fae.

"Hmm .. I didn't plan to propose to you this soon," Ren admitted. "But I feel like it's the right thing to do. And I'm glad you are willing to accept me, even though you have your own doubts and insecurities."

Fae smiled happily at that. Earlier, she was still doubtful, but Ren's firm attitude convinced her, and now she felt determined to marry the man she had only known for 12 days.

She had a feeling that Ren was the right man for her and that they would live happily together. If Ren was willing to give up the throne of Moravia to be with her, then Fae would do whatever it took to be with this man.

After all, Fae didn't have anyone anymore. If she married Ren, she would have a new family.

And ah .. maybe, someday, they would also have children together. Ren and she would no longer be lonely, and they could have their own family.

"I'm glad you acted impulsively," said Fae, blushing. "I will go with you anywhere in this world."

"Do you mean it?" Ren looked at Fae with earnest eyes. "Then .. after the conference is over, I want to take you to Monaco. I have a friend there."

"Why do you want to take me to Monaco?" asked Fae curiously.

"We can't get married here because all the civil registry offices know who I am. We have to get married overseas. I hope you will be patient for a few years and hide our marriage until I can step down from my position as the successor to the throne," said Ren in a serious tone. "If my grandparents find out I want to marry you, they might complicate our relationship."

Fae understood what Ren meant. Of course, the royal family would not approve of her relationship with Ren if they found out that Ren was serious with her.

After all, they considered Ren as the future king. So, in their opinion, he must marry a woman who was his equal in most people's eyes, namely a woman from a high rank with high education.

"I see ..." said Fae with a smile. "I'll follow what you say."

"Good. I'm so glad to hear that."

Ren kissed Fae again and embraced her warmly.

After they had lunch together, Ren left to close the WHO's environment conference that was held in Almstad for three consecutive days. Fae stayed home and went back to reading some books in the library.

However, the girl apparently couldn't concentrate on her reading at all. In her head, she kept imagining the scene from this morning when Ren asked her to marry him and then gave his mother's ring to Fae.

The girl looked at the tiny ring on her ring finger over and over again. She smiled broadly when she imagined that soon she and Ren would get married.

"Ahh .. my love story is just like father and mother. They also got married quickly, and they were very happy. They loved each other so much ..." murmured Fae.

She tried to remember more details about her parents, but unfortunately, she couldn't imagine their faces in her head.

Fae had seen many photos of her father and mother together, but for some reason, she didn't feel any connection to them.

Were we not close? thought Fae in puzzlement.

The girl finally took a deep breath. Maybe she was meant to experience so much bad luck in her life, so she could deserve to be with Ren, to make up for all her sufferings in life.

She had no family, and she could not even remember memories with her parents. She basically lost her life for the first seventeen years.

Maybe it was better this way ... that was how she comforted herself.

If she was not close to her parents and did not miss them, then she would not suffer so much from the sadness of losing them.

She received a text from Ren at sunset. The man had just finished closing the conference and was going home soon.

Fae smiled broadly when reading the SMS from Ren. She couldn't wait to meet that man. Somehow, ever since they slept together, Fee felt a deep connection to Ren.

And whenever he wasn't around, Fae felt that something was missing. She didn't know why she always missed Ren by her side so much.

Fae did not understand why she felt such intense feelings like what she had for him now.

She had never felt this way for anyone.

Fae didn't miss her parents or her recently deceased grandmother, but she did miss Ren.

This afternoon, they had only been apart for a few hours, but it felt as if they had not seen each other for a long time.
