The Prince Who Cannot Fall In Love & The Missing Heiress - Chapter 330
Vega was stunned to hear the words spoken by the handsome man in front of her.
Ah, this morning, she did see Ren as a speaker at the SpaceLab event. However, that didn’t count as ‘meeting,’ right? Because it happened in only one direction.
Because of that, Vega shook her head. “Hm .. I don’t think so. This is the first.”
Ren took a deep breath and smiled slightly. He did not know why he asked such a thing to the stranger he had just met, just because her face resembled Fae, his late wife.
Ren nodded and smiled. “Hmm .. I thought you feel very familiar.”
“Oh, this morning, I did come to the SpaceLab event at the expo,” said Vega. “Maybe you saw me there?”
Ren nodded. “That’s right. Ah .. I just remembered. Of course. You were standing at the back of the room with Mischa Rhionen. Right?”
He looked closely at Vega. The girl smiled and nodded. “That’s right. Do you know Mischa?”
“I do. He is a high-ranking RMI official, an investor of SpaceLab. We met several times,” said Ren. He paused his words when the door was knocked, and a waiter entered with a trolley filled with a teapot, three cups, and cakes.
After the waiter finished arranging the tea and cakes on the table, she excused herself. Ren poured the tea into their cups and served them to Vega and Tatiana.
“Have a drink,” he said, raising his own cup and starting to take a sip of his tea. Out of courtesy, Vega and Tatiana immediately accepted their cups and joined Ren in sipping their tea.
“Where were we?” asked Ren, looking intently at Vega.
The girl opened her note and reread her first question.
“Last year, you held a press conference to announce your decision to step down as crown prince of Moravia. So many people were shocked at the news and wondered, why? The Moravian royal family has denied that they treated your mother badly and refused your wife to enter the royal family. They said your accusation was baseless.”
She looked at the man attentively, waiting for the answer from his lips. Ren took another sip of tea and seemed to ponder the question deeply, before then answering in a firm voice.
“I hope you know that the royal family must maintain their image in public. That’s why they would have to deny everything. I will not force my truth to be accepted. The Hanenberg family can say whatever they like, but I will never change my statement or apologize,” said Ren.
“Ahh .. so, that means you stick to your statement that the Hanenberg family treated your mother badly and didn’t want to accept your wife into the royal family?” asked Vega to confirm Ren’s answer. The man nodded.
While Vega was interviewing Ren, Tatiana paid attention to the interaction between the two and took note of Ren’s answers. She felt very grateful because Vega helped her in this important interview.
Ren seemed very relaxed and friendly when answering Vega’s questions. His usually cold countenance was nowhere to be seen during their conversation.
Ahh .. Tatiana was sure lucky that Vega was in Paris and could help her today.
“Hmm … many readers are very impressed by the love story between you and your late wife. They think it’s such a wonderful Cinderella story in modern times,” said Vega again. “Can you tell us how did you meet, and what made you fall in love with her?”
Ren was speechless at Vega’s question. He did not remember the woman he married three years ago. He also didn’t know exactly how they met and why they fell in love.
More importantly, why they decided to get married immediately after one month of courtship.
Ren had even brought her to Monaco to meet his friend Johann and his girlfriend. They became Ren and Fae’s witnesses on their wedding day. From Johann, Ren heard that his wife was beautiful and kind.
However, he had no recollection of her and why they fell in love. He still had pictures of them together, but those pictures didn’t mean anything. Also, there was absolutely no video. He didn’t even know what the woman’s voice was like.
It was hard to talk about the person he didn’t even know.
Ren had tried various therapies and medications to restore his memory, but nothing had worked. His past was gone without a trace.
All he knew about himself was from what he heard from John, his assistant, Linda, his longtime housekeeper, his friend Johann from Monaco, and some old documentation.
The royal family also refused to see him again after he damaged their reputation with all his statements at the press conference last year.
Fortunately, Ren didn’t care about the royal family at all. When he watched the recording of his press conference a few weeks before the accident, he saw himself displaying a disgusted expression towards the Hanenberg family.
It made him realize that he really didn’t want to have any relationship with them anymore.
“I don’t remember how I met my wife,” said Ren honestly. “I lost all my memories from the day I was born until the accident. Everything I know about her, I only heard from other people. All I know, she was a beautiful and kind woman.”
Vega was stunned by Ren’s shocking statement. She didn’t know this fact. No news source stated that Ren had lost his memory because of the accident.
Oh…. the man literally lost his entire life. What a pity …
Vega remembered her own fate. She lost six years of her life that would never come back. It was frustrating at times because she would never know what happened during those six years.
Did something terrible happen that she had to forget? Or did something good happen that she should have remembered?
However, she felt grateful that her family was with her. They helped her recover and supported her all the time. While Ren … apart from losing his memory, he also lost his family and the wife he must have loved so much.
Vega secretly felt great sympathy for this man in front of her.
“I’m so sorry to hear that,” said the girl in a low voice. “We didn’t know this fact. We only heard that after the accident, you had to recover for a few months. We didn’t know that you lost your memory….”
Tatiana refrained from saying anything. She almost blurted that her friend, Vega Linden, also experienced memory loss for several years. That was why Vega couldn’t remember what happened to her while she was missing.
Fortunately, Tatiana was still able to hold back. She knew that the Lindens had warned her sternly not to mention Vega in public.
Tatiana just bit her lip and wrote in her notebook without looking up. Ren’s statement just now made her very surprised, and she excitedly wrote it down.
She didn’t expect Ren to be so open to Vega, to share such a personal thing like this…
NO JOURNALISTS knew that Ren lost his memory. This would be big news!
Ahhh .. Tatiana kept thanking her lucky stars for sending Vega to help her today.
“It’s okay, it’s not your fault …” Ren said with a shrug. “I learned to be grateful and consider that I was given a second chance to start over with a clean slate.”
“Ah .. that’s a good mindset,” Vega said with a smile. “I agree. I also think so.”
“You think so? Why?” Ren asked, not understanding.
“Ah … I mean, in this life, we always have a choice. Sometimes horrible things happen to us, and our life is ruined. We cannot control what happens to us, for example… tragedy. We also cannot control how other people perceive us. All we can control is our attitude,” Vega explained what she meant.
She looked at Ren closely with a smile full of sympathy. “I know a girl who lost her memory for several years, and she also often feels frustrated because she doesn’t know what happened during the lost years. No one could give her an answer.
“She could finally make peace with herself by thinking that she may have had an event so traumatic that her mind blocked the memory. Ignorance is bliss. Imagine .. other people are willing to pay a lot of money so they can forget painful memories. Wouldn’t the ability to forget be considered a luxury in such a case?”
Ren was in a daze when he heard Vega’s words just now. What the girl said really hit him in the feels.
That’s true. He also didn’t know what happened during his 32 years of life. If he looked at his life now where he had no one, he could guess that his previous life was no rainbows and butterflies.
The Hanenberg family didn’t want anything to do with him anymore, the Genevieve family, who was his mother’s best friend also hated him and accused him of causing the death of their only daughter, and his assistant who had been with him for 15 years died during a terrorist attack at the Almstad airport.
Deep down, in his heart … Ren guessed that his life was not simple. Something in his gut told him that his previous life was shrouded in darkness and mystery.
It was now up to him to decide, if he wanted to chase the truth and unveil the darkness.. or if he would be grateful for the second change and start over.
When he heard Vega Medici’s story about the girl who lost several years of her life and decided that instead of struggling to remember the past, she considered the ability to forget as a gift… Ren was touched.
What if something happened in his own life that was so traumatic and horrible that his mind blocked the memory?
“I think the girl is very wise,” said Ren after pondering Vega’s statement earlier.
