The Prince Who Cannot Fall In Love & The Missing Heiress - Chapter 301

Meanwhile, at Almstad International airport, Sophia had just gotten out of the taxi. She walked calmly and gracefully as usual despite the chaos she was currently in.

This girl was very good at controlling herself, Sophia could still look relaxed on the surface even though deep down she was very frantic as a result of thinking about the dangerous situation that was happening to her.

She showed her ID Card to the airport security officer and entered a beautiful cafe, located in front of the terminal. Karl should have arrived there and waiting for her.

Sophia took a deep breath as she stepped into the cafe and ordered coffee. While she was observing the cafe thoroughly, her eyes caught sight of Karl sitting in the corner of the cafe with a book in his hand.

Ahh…that man showed the same calmness as Sophia. In her heart, the girl praised Karl’s composure because he always seemed calm and in control.

In nearly twelve years of knowing Karl, Sophia was always impressed whenever she heard Karl speak, although they rarely met.

“Good afternoon, is this chair empty?” Sophia asked in her sweet voice to Karl who was reading his book. The girl held the paper cup filled with coffee in her left hand while her right hand carried her handbag.

Karl shook his head and invited Sophia to sit down. “Yes.”

The man watched Sophia as the girl sat down gracefully. He took a sip of the tea from his cup and cleared his throat.

“It’s all over.” The words were spoken calmly and emotionless, but Sophia could feel a hint of sadness there. This made her gasp.

Over? Were you saying everything had ended? Why?

Did Alaric already find out everything?

She gave Karl a sharp gaze. “What do you mean? Do you and your nephew … no longer want to destroy Alaric’s family?”

“I think the damage we’ve done is enough and he’s already had his punishment,” said Karl.

He felt that the punishment Alaric received was far from sufficient. Karl won’t be satisfied until he saw Alaric lose everything … Karl felt that what Alaric had suffered was still not enough to make up for his past crimes.

However, he couldn’t forget the look in Ren’s eyes earlier in his office. That was the first time Karl saw how much his nephew was suffering.

Karl loved Ren very much because he was the only thing that was left of Friedrich, his only brother whom he loved dearly. Karl even loved Friedrich more than himself.

Of course, he would not have the heart to let Ren, Friedrich’s son, suffer because of his actions.

If Ren wanted them to stop, then Karl would stop.

If Ren wanted him to sacrifice himself … then Karl would do it without a second thought.

He only hoped Ren would be able to live well after he left. He knew well that Ren would be on his own once Karl decided to disappear from his life.

“Do you really think so?” Sophia asked curtly.

She still hoped she could get her fortune back. She had lived in poverty for a dozen years after previously wallowing in wealth. She couldn’t accept that she had to spend her immortal life by living a hard life.

“If all you think about is your wealth, I can give you a decent life,” Karl said calmly. He touched the girl’s cheek and looked at her closely. “Do you prefer to live a wealthy life but always feel anxious, or do you want to live in peace?”

Sophia touched Karl’s hand on her cheek. Somehow Karl looked different today. He was not as cold as usual.

“What do you want me to do?” Sophia asked.

“Come with me. We will leave this place and start a new life. We will forget everything that has happened.” The look in the man’s eyes stunned Sophia.

“You … want me to come with you?” Sophia’s voice trembled when she heard Karl’s words.

She looked at the handsome middle-aged man in front of her.

Karl always looked handsome and attractive even though he was already 48 years old this year. People would think he was still in his late 30s.

For decades, he only focused on getting revenge and never cared about having a woman or starting a family. Even towards Sophia, he always kept his distance, and never let himself get too close.

But now, he showed his affection in a public place. Sophia remembered the steamy nights they spent together when Karl opened up to her, which he rarely did.

Now the girl was imagining a new possibility … that she and this man could be together completely.

Ahh…she looked at Karl right in the eye and imagined their life together.

She really liked what she saw.

Karl smiled and rubbed Sophia’s cheek, and then his hand down to her chin. Slowly, he pulled her head closer to him. Karl then tilted his face and kissed Sophia’s lips gently.

Sophia’s purple eyes widened for a few seconds because she didn’t expect Karl would kiss her in a public place like this. Then, her hand spontaneously touched Karl’s head and rubbed his hair.

Sophia returned the man’s kiss passionately.

After more than ten years in an ambiguous relationship, it seemed like this time Sophia got some clarity from Karl.

“Thank you,” whispered Karl as he removed his lips from Sophia’s and their noses touched.

“I’ll come with you,” Sophia said firmly. “If that’s what you want.”

“I have a house in Germany,” said Karl. “I want to take you there. We can start a new life.”

Karl actually wanted to buy the Neuman’s old home. That was where he enjoyed his childhood with them. They were the only family he had in this world after his biological parents abandoned him in the hospital.

But he had to hold back and cancel his intention because he did not want to attract attention and make himself connected with Ren as Friedrich Neumann’s son.

So he bought another house in the same city. This was where he sometimes went to cool off.

He did not think that one day he would return there with a woman.

He looked at Sophia and admired the girl’s beauty. Just like all of Alchemist descent, Sophia had the distinctive beauty where she was gifted with perfect facial symmetry and flawlessly and smooth, porcelain skin.

She was also a girl of noble blood who had the class and elegance of an upper-class girl. Apart from that, Sophia was also very smart and educated. For Karl, she was the perfect woman.

“I’ve prepared tickets for us. We’ll be leaving in a moment,” said Karl. “No need to bring anything.”

“Hmm … I have a gun in my bag,” Sophia said. “I snatched it from the man who was guarding me. I beat him until he fell unconscious.”

“Ahh…you’re very clever,” said Karl, praising Sophia’s smart actions. He patted Sophia’s shoulder with a smile. Sophia did not notice that the man’s smile was not reaching his eyes.

The girl was beaming at Karl’s praise. She said, “I have to get rid of this gun before we get to the terminal.. I will go to the ladies’ room and throw it in the trash can.”
