The Prince Who Cannot Fall In Love & The Missing Heiress - Chapter 315
“Mischa, have you had dinner?” Vega asked the man. Before Mischa could reply, she then turned to her brother. “Did you also invite Mischa to have dinner together?”
Altair shook his head. He just wanted to surprise Vega by inviting their old school friends. As for Mischa, he hoped that the man could invite Vega to have dinner alone after they met at the exhibition. So, no.. he didn’t invite Mischa.
Ahh .. who would have thought that they would coincidentally meet here by accident?
“I haven’t had dinner yet, but I can eat dinner alone in the suite,” replied Mischa with a smile. “I don’t want to crash your dinner plans.”
“No no.. I think it’s okay to add one more person. Right, Altair?” asked Vega. “It’s our birthday dinner, after all. Mischa is family.”
Mischa’s chest was pounding, and he felt touched when he heard Vega calling him family, even though they hadn’t seen each other for a year, and she also didn’t remember that they had a close relationship for months as boss and assistant,
However, apparently, Vega was still very attentive and showed that she cared about him.
Altaïr glanced over and saw Mischa’s countenance change. Now the man looked sheepish. This made Altair want to laugh out loud. However, he held back, then cleared his throat and nodded.
“Of course. It’s our birthday today. Mischa should just come to have dinner with us,” he said. “I didn’t invite him because I didn’t know he would be here today. I thought he would come tomorrow for the exhibition.”
“Well, I wanted to prepare something, so I came one day early,” Mischa admitted. “This is a nice coincidence. I also didn’t know you’ll be here.”
“Ahh … I remember you treated me to dinner when we were in Bordeaux, Mischa. So let me return the favor by treating you to dinner now. Come on, let’s go in!” said Vega with a laugh. The beautiful girl pulled Mischa’s hand back to the restaurant.
The man was in a daze when he saw Vega taking his hand casually and walked into The Lily. Fortunately, a moment later, his mind went back to work, and he walked alongside the girl with a happy face.
Ahh .. This really was the Vega that he knew, before she was kidnapped and abused by Ren, thought Mischa.
He remembered that the young Vega, when she was a teenager, was very confident, cheerful, and warm.
The older Vega he met in Almstad was always sad, introverted, and often felt inferior when she compared herself to other girls who were rich and better educated.
Mischa was very relieved to see this change. He felt that Vega had indeed made the right decision a year ago.
Altair and JM exchanged glances, then smiled knowingly. The two of them walked into The Lily too. A waiter approached them respectfully and led them to a special lounge for VVIP guests.
This lounge was located at the end of the restaurant and had the most privacy. It also had its own terrace to the outside. They could look down through the glass wall from 40 stories high. To the east, the Eiffel Tower glowed with beautiful lights.
The whole city center of Paris could be seen from this terrace and gave them such an amazing sight.
After the four of them sat on their respective seats, they ordered drinks while waiting for Vega’s school friends to come.
“I’m actually curious, who did you invite,” said Vega as she sipped the wine in her glass gracefully.
“In a moment. They have arrived and are on the way up to the floor here,” Altair replied.
“Hmmph .. you’re going to make me die curious,” complained Vega. The girl then turned her attention to Mischa, who was enjoying his drink in silence.
Because he had already drunk a few glasses earlier, this time Mischa only ordered water. He didn’t want to lose control in front of Vega by drinking too much.
“How long will you be in Paris?” Vega asked the man.
“The exhibition is held for three days, but if you are in Paris for longer, I can extend my visit here. We haven’t seen each other in a while,” replied Mischa. “Your father told me to look after you.”
“Ahh .. father is always too worried,” said Vega with a chuckle. “We’re here with 20 tough bodyguards. I think we’ll be fine.”
Indeed, Elios wouldn’t take any risk. He thought it better to have too many bodyguards for Vega than too few.
“Hmm … well, your father does it because he loves you too much,” said Mischa. “I hope you don’t think of it as a bad thing.”
Vega shook her head. “No, absolutely not. I appreciate his attention and care for me, but it just turns me off when it comes to traveling or going out. I don’t want to trouble so many people. I prefer to stay put.”
‘Ah, Vega .. you are too kind,’ thought Mischa.
“I’m sure they don’t mind. That’s their job,” The handsome man said, shaking his head. Then Mischa cleared his throat. “However, if you want to go out and don’t want to trouble your bodyguards, you can tell me. I’m sure your father will allow you to go with me without taking them. You can go out with me and not trouble many people.”
Altair and JM looked at each other and coughed slightly in their corner. The two of them smiled silently and tried to stop themselves from saying anything.
Ahh .. did Mischa just ask Vega to go out with him?
“Ahhh .. I don’t want to bother you …” Vega chuckled and pressed her lips. “But …”
Mischa stared at the girl’s lips as if he was worried that he would miss a word if he didn’t pay attention.
“But?” He repeated the girl’s words.
“But, if you don’t mind being bothered by me, I’ll be very happy to take you up on that offer…”
Vega felt Mischa’s offer made a lot of sense. After all, wasn’t it that seven years ago when she and Altaïr went on the study trip to France, their father also entrusted Mischa to protect her and Altaïr?
Misch breathed a sigh of relief at Vega’s words and smiled faintly. “You never make me feel bothered… and you never will.”
“Ahhh .. I’m so happy !! All right, I’ll tell father about it. I actually want to visit several places, but I don’t want to bring so many bodyguards with me,” Vega said happily. “Going there with you would be perfect!”
She took her cell phone to call her father and announced her conversation with Mischa. However, before she could press the call button, a familiar voice immediately distracted her.
“VEGA LINDEN !!! I miss you so much!!!”
Vega lifted her face and looked towards where the sound came from. The astonished expression on her face immediately changed to an expression of surprise and joy.
“HEIII!!! TATIANA PETROVA!!! I really miss you too!!” exclaimed Vega as she jumped up from her chair. She saw her high school best friend appear in the lounge doorway.
Ah .. Tatiana now looked mature and very cool. She was dressed in luxury designer items from head to toe. Her hair was also styled with the latest trend.
If people saw Tatiana now, they would immediately guess that she was a socialite or an influencer. In her hand was a luxurious handbag and out of it popped a brand new expensive camera.
Indeed, Tatiana was now a public figure, a very famous influencer. Vega often saw the news about her in various media.
Tatiana’s blog posts and videos about traveling and lifestyle had accumulated an almost cult-like following with many young women worldwide.
The two girls hugged each other very tightly. Tatiana’s beautiful face looked so emotional, and she even shed tears.
“Gosh .. don’t cry .. hahaha .. I’m fine,” said Vega with a laugh and patted Tatiana’s back. “I don’t remember what happened for several years, but other than that, everything is fine.”
With great difficulty, Tatiana broke away from Vega and looked at the girl with teary eyes. “Yes, I’ve heard from Altaïr. He said, you are fine, just need time to recover your health and your memories. Huhuhu … I hope you don’t forget me.”
“Of course not. You are my best friend. I will always remember you, no matter what. Actually, I just can’t remember what happened while I was missing,” said Vega. She then whispered with a super serious face. “I think I might be abducted by alien.”
Everyone in the room frowned in surprise at Vega’s words. A second later, they realized that the girl was just joking.
Immediately, the lounge was filled with roaring laughter from all present.
Ahh, Vega could still joke about her ordeal, they thought. Everyone was relieved that Vega had not lost her sense of humor and could still laugh at herself.
“Gosh! I thought you were serious just now,” scolded Tatiana, suddenly losing her sadness. The girl then looked back and told her other friends to enter. “Come on, guys, everyone in. Let’s celebrate our reunion with Vega, together with her birthday and Altair’s.”
Sharon, Ellen, and Stu respectively entered the lounge and hugged Vega alternately. They all looked grown up now and had changed a lot. After not seeing each other for seven years, there were so many things they wanted to share together.
“I want to make a live broadcast for my followers,” said Tatiana as she took out her camera. “You don’t mind, do you?”
“No, of course not,” said Vega happily. She glanced at her brother. “However, please don’t mention who we are in your video. We prefer not to have our identities exposed. And … it will be safer for you too.”
Tatiana was stunned at Vega’s words. Ah … that’s right. This schoolmate of hers was not just anyone. If people find out that Tatiana was having dinner with Vega Linden and Altair Linden, maybe there would be bad people who would go after her too.
“Oh .. you’re right,” said Tatiana. “Then, I will not take any videos or broadcast anything.”
“It’s all right, Tatiana,” Altaïr said soothingly. “I think you have to keep being yourself. But if you want to make a video or announce to your followers about what you are doing, please don’t mention Vega’s name at all. Our family doesn’t want the public to know that she is back.”

Long chapter today, I hope you like it :).
I just want to end this book quickly, and I thought it would have ended two weeks ago.. *sob* However, this book has a mind on its own and we are still here.. #sigh
I have a feeling that this book might even end in January. I have got requests to write extra chapters to show how Vega live her new life with her family, so it might take a while too.
SPOILER: Vega will get married again and have a loving happy family.
By the way, if this book still doesn’t end by December 31, please DON’T BUY PRIVILEGE in January. You will only pay coins for only extra several days.
I will mark the book as complete by January 1, so all the privileged chapters will be dissolved, and everyone can access/unlock them. I can just add extra chapters afterward.. Once I mark the book complete, all 25 Privi Chapters will be out and become regular chapters.
