The Prince Who Cannot Fall In Love & The Missing Heiress - Chapter 278

“W-what do you want?” Hannah asked in a trembling voice. She looked at her hand that Friedrich was holding and then looked at the man’s face. “I really don’t mind it if I only have a little time with you. I love you sincerely. However, if what you want is for me to forget about it and act like nothing ever happened … then I’ll do it. So—”

Before Hannah could finish her words, Friedrich had suddenly grabbed the girl’s hand and pulled her. In the next moment, Hannah found herself on Friedrich’s lap. The handsome man hugged her very tightly.

“I don’t want to be selfish by tying you down… while I only have a little time left. I’m so, very sorry …” whispered Friedrich many times. “I really want to have you with me for the rest of my remaining time .. but I don’t want to hurt you.”

Hannah hugged Friedrich back and cried on his shoulder. “You don’t hurt me, Fred .. I want to be with you. If you want to be selfish, please do it. You will make me the happiest girl in the world …”

The two hugged very tightly and cried together.

For the first time, after knowing each other for almost a year and living together, they finally opened up about their feelings.

Hannah knew she had fallen in love with Friedrich as soon as he stood up for her from that jerk, Valentino.

Meanwhile, Friedrich might have slowly have fallen in love with Hannah after the girl started living in his house.

Friedrich released his hug from Hannah and stared at the girl’s face from a very close distance.

For a moment, they didn’t say anything to each other.

“Fred …” Hannah put a hand to Friedrich’s cheek and rubbed it affectionately. Her tears were still flowing, but her lips had slowly curved up to a smile.

Friedrich brought his face closer to Hannah’s and kissed her lips gently.

He felt he could no longer hold back. Although he didn’t really want to bind Hannah in a relationship, this time, he could no longer hold back from acting selfishly.

Hannah had given him permission to be selfish.

Maybe … at the end of his life, Friedrich could be selfish since he had always thought about other people over himself.

Hannah returned Friedrich’s kiss and rubbed his hair. They finally vented all the love between them that had been kept inside for a long time. The love that they never said and expressed finally came out like a flood.

That night Friedrich stayed in Hannah’s room.

Charles, who no longer heard his brother’s voice talking to Hannah from the living room, finally decided to close his eyes and sleep alone in Friedrich’s room.

He realized that the couple finally decided to make love. His heart felt very relieved.

***

The next day Charles pretended to have a stomachache. He asked Friedrich to go alone with Hannah to watch the sunrise from the hot air balloon in the Cappadoccia sky. He wanted to give them as much time alone as possible.

That morning, over the skies of Cappadoccia, Turkey, as the sun was rising in the far east, with dozens of colorful hot air balloons around them, Friedrich proposed to Hannah.

****

Friedrich felt very selfish because the last few months he had been so happy. Every day he woke up with Hannah’s beautiful face by his side. He had never felt euphoria like when he hugged her body, kissed her, and made love to her.

For the first time in his 22 years on earth, he felt truly alive. It was ironic to know that he only felt the most alive when he was dying.

That afternoon they took Charles to the airport. He’s going to London to attend boarding school. He decided to get his high school diploma in England so he could enter university there later. The reason was, he wanted to be an educated person.

The truth was, Charles intentionally wanted to give Friedrich and Hannah time to be alone after they got married.

At first, Hannah was against her brother-in-law’s plans, but Charles convinced her over and over again until finally, the girl gave in.

“I’ve had Friedrich for all my life. Now, it’s time for him to spend all his time with you. If I stay here, I’ll just be the annoying third wheel,” Charles said with a big grin.

“Charles…” Hannah looked uneasy. “Are you sure you’re all right?”

“I’m all right,” said Charles with a big smile. “I lived in an orphanage for two years before my brother took me back and fought for my custody. I’m very independent. Six months from now, I’ll be back with you, don’t worry. You guys just enjoy having fun together. Ahem … if you can give me a cute nephew, I will be so happy.”

Hannah’s face immediately turned red, and she spontaneously hit her brother-in-law’s shoulder repeatedly. “You…!”

“Ouch, it hurts … hahahaha.” Charles quickly dodged her hand and took his bag. “I’ll be going now. You guys have fun in the Maldives!”

He walked out happily without looking back. Friedrich and Hannah did not see the young man shed tears as he went through security check-in and handed over his passport for airport security to check.

Charles was yearning to stay by his brother’s side. However, because he knew Friedrich’s time was limited, Charles did not want to be selfish. That’s why he decided to leave.

Charles wanted to give Friedrich and Hannah time to be alone. Let them enjoy full happiness and being in love with each other.

After the young man disappeared from sight, Friedrich and Hannah looked at each other. Their faces flushed red.

They remembered Charles’s words telling them to give him a cute nephew.

Actually, Hannah and Friedrich were too young to have children. Especially with Friedrich’s health condition, it seemed that the man did not want to think about children. He was afraid that he would burden Hannah even more.

What he wanted after he died was for Hannah to start a new life, fall in love with another man, and raise a family with him.

Friedrich would be happy to just live in her memory.
