The Prince Who Cannot Fall In Love & The Missing Heiress - Chapter 323
“Do you want more infused water? “asked Mischa as he lifted the jar filled with infused water. He saw that Vega drink so much water throughout their dinner tonight. But it was okay; drinking a lot of water was much better than wine.
Vega shook her head. “No, thanks. I think I’m already bloated from drinking too much.”
“Hmm … alright. Have you finished eating?” asked Mischa. He got up and cleared their plates. Vega hurriedly got up and helped the man.
“Do you want ice cream?” She asked as they walked with plates in hand toward the kitchen. “There’s ice cream in the fridge.”
“Yes, sure,” replied Mischa.
After the two of them put the dirty dishes in the dishwasher, they sat on the terrace enjoying ice cream while looking out at the city center of Paris from the 45th floor.
They continued their conversation and talked about anything. Vega’s crisp laughter could be heard from time to time from the terrace. Mischa’s voice sounded happy as he told her the various interesting things he had experienced in his long life.
At 10 pm, when Altair and JM arrived at the penthouse, they heard Mischa and Vega’s voices talking and laughing. Both looked at each other and smiled meaningfully.
“Apparently, your plan to match them works,” whispered JM.
“Sssh .. we don’t know the result yet. They just met. Moreover, Vega also hasn’t met Ren. We have to wait … and pray Vega will make the right decision,” Altair replied. He sighed as he looked at the terrace and then pulled his girlfriend’s hand to enter their room. “We should just leave them. Pretend we’re not home yet.”
“Ufff … It was so tiring to stand all day, “whispered JM as she walked, following Altair.
“Take it easy. Later, I will massage your feet,” said Altair to coax her.
“You will? Aww… I love you so much!”

“Wow, it’s already 11 pm,” said Mischa as he took the ice cream bowl from Vega’s hand.
Both of their bowls had been empty for a long time. However, since they were in good company, with nice summer weather in one of the most beautiful cities in the world, added with pleasant conversation, the two of them kept staying on the terrace late into the night.
Mischa put both their bowls in the dishwasher. He then washed his hands in the sink and wiped them dry. “I’d better go back to my suite now.”
“Are you going to sleep now?” asked Vega.
Mischa nodded. “That’s right. Tomorrow I have to open the RMI exhibition.”
“Very well, then. Have a good rest. Altaïr and I are going to the exhibition tomorrow. See you there!”
“Good night, Vega,” said Mischa. He ruffled Vega’s hair a little then headed for the door. Vega walked him to the door until the man left the penthouse.

“You look very happy today, “said Altair teasing his sister when they both with JM had breakfast on the terrace that morning. “What were you doing with Mischa last night?”
Vega shrugged. “Nothing unusual. We went to Champ De Mars and had a picnic while looking at the Eiffel Tower. After that, we had dinner. Where did you go last night with JM?”
“JM and I had an important business to tend to, “said Altair.” I already told you. ”
“Ahh .. just tell me you intentionally did that so you could leave me alone with Mischa,” said Vega.
“So what if I did? Don’t you like Mischa? Didn’t you like him very much when you were younger?” Altair asked with a grin on his face. “I only help you approach the man you like.”
“Yikes… that’s been a long time,” argued Vega. “I was very aggressive back then. But the me now is not like before. I feel embarrassed when I look back on what I did back then.”
“Well … it’s okay. After all, he also seems to like you a lot. Whatever you do, whether you are aggressive or not, he definitely wouldn’t mind,” said Altair lightly. “Now the question is … do you still like him or not? ”
Vega’s face flushed red. She didn’t answer, but from her reaction, Altaïr could guess that Vega still had feelings for Mischa. Of course .. which normal woman will not be attracted to that man?
Mischa already had a handsome and perfect face, even before taking the immortality elixir and becoming part of the Alchemist clan.
According to Altair’s own honest assessment, he had never seen a man more handsome than Mischa Rhionen in this world.
As a man, Altair was not ashamed to admit other men’s good points, let alone the man he supported to become his sister’s husband.
Apart from his very handsome physical appearance, Mischa also had a warm and fun personality. He matched well with Vega, who was cheerful and bubbly. They both were like a warm sunny day that would bring joy and warmth to those around them.
Apart from his attractive physical appearance and personality, Mischa was also very intelligent, kind, and had colorful life experiences, which made his character very mature.
And most importantly, the guy was very formidable. Even Elios could entrust his daughter to be taken care of by Mischa.
This would make Vega’s life more comfortable as she could always travel with only her husband because Mischa alone would be able to protect her.
This last factor was very important as Vega’s safety was paramount.
Considering that she was kidnapped and abused by Ren, they didn’t want to lower their guard.
So, judging from any aspects, Mischa would be the perfect man for Vega.
“Don’t be ashamed to admit that you like him,” said Altair again. “If you want, I’ll be making myself so busy with JM all day, so you can go to RMI exhibition alone with Mischa. What do you think?”
Vega just shrugged. “I don’t mind. Mischa is a very nice man and I am happy to be around him.”
“Good. I’ve told him that I couldn’t go with you to the exhibition. He’ll come to pick you up in a moment,” said Altair, smiling broadly.
“Wait, when did you talk to him? I just told you now that I don’t mind going to the exhibition alone with him…” said Vega in surprise.
“I don’t need to talk to you to know you would agree … hehehehe ..”
Vega could only shake her head when she saw how her brother was so eager to be Vega and Mischa’s matchmaker.
Actually, Vega didn’t mind it. She knows that her brother and father really like Mischa. She also thought the man was very nice and… Mischa was also very handsome.
Vega used to like Mischa so much, almost to the point of being head over heels. Now, Vega didn’t know what her true feelings were for that man.
Her chest still felt pounding when the two of them were alone, like last night when they walked home from Champ De Mars hand in hand to the car … or when they were preparing dinner, and then sat down to eat together.
However .. was it love?
How did she know?
Vega didn’t want to shut herself off from all possibilities. That was why when Mischa said that he wanted to ask Vega out, the girl said yes and the rest she would see.
If what she felt for Mischa was love … then she would happily welcome him into her life.
Ten minutes later, there was a knock at the door.
“It must be Mischa,” said Altair. He then spoke to the penthouse’s computerized household assistant system. “Open the door when Mischa Rhionen comes.”
Not long after that, the handsome man had stepped into the penthouse and immediately walked onto the terrace.
“Good morning,” said Mischa to Vega, Altair, and JM, who were still enjoying their morning tea on the terrace.
“Good morning. Have you had breakfast?” asked Vega.
Mischa nodded. “Yes.”
“Oh .. I’m almost done. Just need to finish my tea,” said Vega. “Altair said, you come to pick me up to go together to the RMI exhibition?”
“That’s right,” said Mischa.
“Oh, by the way… Tatiana sent a text earlier, she said she would interview you after lunchtime. Is that true?” asked Vega again.
“It is true.”
“Oh .. okay. She said after interviewing you, she will have tea with the new Director of SpaceLab. Tatiana asked me to accompany her because she thought I like astronomy … hahaha .. just because I was named after a constellation.”
Altair and Mischa looked at each other when they heard Vega’s words.
The new SpaceLab director?
Renald Hanenberg?
