The Prince Who Cannot Fall In Love & The Missing Heiress - Chapter 321
Vega was pensive for a moment, hearing Mischa’s words. That was true. Currently, her life was fine, and she was happy. Why should she fixate on what she didn’t have?
If something bad happened to her while she was kidnapped, wouldn’t it be better if she forgot about it?
Thousands of victims of sexual violence, human trafficking, and other crimes hoped they could forget about what happened to them.
Those people live with prolonged trauma their whole life. Some managed to recover themselves and move on with life, but the bad events would continue to haunt them for life … in the form of memories.
If indeed Vega was subjected to abuse or violence that made her very traumatized and wanted to forget about it … shouldn’t she be grateful that she got that luxury to forget about them?
If she pushed herself and finally remembered what happened in the past … and then found out that everything was so heartbreaking, would she be able to be happy?
Finally, Vega sighed and took the wine bottle from Mischa’s hand. She drank so much red wine that the bottle was almost empty.
“You are right. I should be grateful and live my life going forward. What happened has passed, and I can’t do anything to change it either.”
Mischa was stunned to see that the wine in the bottle was running low. “You drank a lot. You will hurt your stomach.”
He took the wine bottle from Vega’s hand and pulled the girl’s hand up. “Let’s go home. I’ll cook for you so you can eat a proper meal to reduce the effects of the wine.”
“But it’s not dark yet,” protested Vega. “The sunset is not over…”
“I was going to wait here with you until dark, but you drank a lot just now. I’m afraid if you don’t eat soon, your stomach will hurt.”
Vega, who was about to protest, canceled her intention. Somehow she couldn’t refute Mischa’s words.
The man was right. She shouldn’t have finished their wine earlier. The little sandwich she had eaten earlier was not enough to prop her stomach.
Mischa grabbed Vega’s hand and walked back to his car, which was parked across from the Champ De Mars.
After opening the door for Vega and making sure the girl was seated properly, he then got into the driver’s seat and started the car.
***
In the penthouse kitchen, there were a variety of fresh ingredients provided by the hotel every day. Mischa deliberately chose to cook steak because it was quick.
He didn’t want Vega’s stomach to hurt because she waited for a meal to be cooked for a long time, while her stomach had been filled with quite a lot of wine.
“Can I help you?” asked Vega.
“Help make the salad,” said Mischa. He pointed to the pile of vegetables and salad dressings on the corner of the kitchen counter. “Just slice these vegetables and then add the dressing.”
“Okay.”
Vega swiftly then made a salad and poured the salad dressing as Mischa requested, while the man took the apron hanging on the refrigerator door and put it on.
He then turned on the stove and put a non-stick frying pan with a little butter on it. After the pan was heated, he then put two organic steaks for grilling.
In less than three minutes, he turned the steak over and grilled the other side. In no time, two steaks and salad were beautifully arranged on the porcelain plates on the dining table.
Mischa took infused water from the refrigerator and poured it for himself and Vega.
“We already drank a lot of wine, so let’s just eat dinner with infused water, okay…” said the man, handing a glass of infused water to Vega.
The girl accepted it while nodding. “Thank you.”
They then sat down to enjoy dinner happily.
“Wow … This looks simple but tastes soooo good,” commented Vega. “Where did you learn to cook?”
Mischa was reminded of the events 1.5 years ago when he cooked for the first time for Vega. The girl also praised his cooking and asked the same thing, who taught him to cook.
At that time, Mischa explained that it was Lisa who taught him to cook and changed him into domestic man. At that time, he purely wanted to answer Vega’s question, who was his personal assistant.
Then he found out that his statement made Vega feel even more guilty later on because Lisa was killed by the villains when they wanted to kidnap Vega.
Mischa remembered the day Vega reunited with her family on F Island; the girl came to him, she hugged him with tears streaming down her face and apologized.
Vega apologized to him for causing Lisa’s death.
Even though she was completely innocent, Vega continued to harbor those feelings in her. First, she felt guilty that the villains killed Lisa to distract Mischa from Vega and kidnapped her.
Then, after she found out that the mastermind behind all those events was Ren, the man she loved and was her husband at the same time, Vega felt even more guilty because she seemed to bear her husband’s sins as well.
Mischa really didn’t want Vega to go through that again. Hence, he felt grateful to get a second chance to fix the situation and change his answer.
“I’ve lived alone for a long time. As a man, of course, I have to be able to take care of myself,” replied Mischa with a smile. “That includes cleaning the house, cooking food, and doing laundry.”
Vega burst into laughter, hearing Mischa’s words. “Seriously? Do you really clean the house and do the washing?”
Mischa laughed when he saw Vega looking amused. His heart felt warm at the sight of this girl, so cheerful and carefree. “Okay .. I’m just kidding about washing and cleaning the house. We have robot servants to do it all.”
“Of course,” said Vega. “In our home, almost everything is done by robots automatically. We only employ a few human staff. You know that my father doesn’t like to have many people at home.”
“I know,” said Mischa. He knew Elios very well, much better than Vega herself knew her father. Long before Vega was born, Mischa had lived with Elios and knew all about his foster father.

From the author:
I know I thought the story will end in a few days, so I marked the book as COMPLETE so all the privileged chapters can be dissolved.
I don’t want you to pay a lot of coins just to read the privilege chapters for a few days. I am sorry that some of you didn’t see my announcement and still bought the highest tiers yesterday… huhuhuu.
Anyway.. I REALLY HOPE this book will end soon, but JUST IN CASE it will decide otherwise and show us more, as Vega navigates her new life after her ordeal, I set up a new privilege, only 1 tier with 1 coin.
IF the story ends up going all the way until the end of January, the privilege’s existence will allow this book to get features from Webnovel. We’ll see…
Thank you so much for your understanding and support in 2020. I hope you can stay with me in 2021 in this book and other books.
I pray that you will have a so much better 2021 and this year will make up for all the pain and stress in 2020.
