The Prince Who Cannot Fall In Love & The Missing Heiress - Chapter 337
Vega blushed at Mischa’s words just now. She knew that she was beautiful. Every day her mirror confirmed that.
However, when she heard the compliment from Mischa’s lips, she still felt so happy and elated.
“Ahaha.. thank you. You’re flattering me,” commented Vega with a laugh. She walked over to Mischa and handed him a wine glass. “Wine?”
The handsome man nodded. “Yes. Let me open the bottle for you.”
Vega took the wine bottle and handed it to Mischa. The man took a bottle opener and a moment later their sparkling wine bottle was opened and he poured the contents into four glasses for all of them.
“Cheers to a wonderful vacation together!” exclaimed JM, raising her glass. Altair, Vega, and Mischa did the same.
They enjoyed wine while relaxing in the warm summer sun. The men took turns driving the ship while the girls sat on the deck enjoying drinks and snacks and reading books.
Being in the middle of the sea like this, surrounded by the blue sky and the sea, made Vega’s mood turn bright. She was always smiling and her beauty became even more prominent.
Mischa kept stealing glances at the girl. He knew Vega was very beautiful, but now Mischa really felt that he couldn’t take his eyes off her. She looked so attractive when she was looking happy like this. As if there was a joyful aura emanating from her.
Mischa was used to meeting beautiful people from the Alchemist clan, but he wasn’t interested in anyone. It’s been seven years since Lisa, his girlfriend died and Mischa had never been in a relationship with another woman.
He never even went out on a casual date with a new woman, even if it’s just for dinner or to meet for coffee. He didn’t feel that he needed women in his life.
Every day, he could keep busy with work, and during his break, he would go traveling and see the world.
During the six years since Vega disappeared, he also spent so much time searching for clues about the girl. For many years, finding Vega was his goal in life.
No matter what, he must be able to find Vega.
When she was finally found, the feeling of relief was so overwhelming that Mischa had to leave for a while to calm down. Now, his heart had become peaceful, and he felt very happy when a few days ago he finally met Vega again.
Now, it’s time for him to open his heart and turn over a new page. From Vega’s attitude towards him, Mischa could assume that Vega returned his feelings.
In addition to that, the Linden family also gave him full support. It was evident from the way Altair asked him to go with them and vacation together. He could spend days with Vega, getting to know each other better and exploring places with her.
Her father, Elios Linden, also gave his blessing by entrusting Vega completely to Mischa. After Altaïr returned to New York, Mischa was allowed to take Vega on a trip to see the world, as the girl wanted.
If all went well, Mischa would immediately ask Elios’ permission to marry Vega and make the girl his wife. He was almost fifty and he felt that it was time to settle down.
“Hey … Mischa, what are you thinking?”
Mischa, who was staring far at the horizon, turned towards the sound and found Vega standing behind him. The man smiled. His smile had become automatic, whenever he saw her.
“I’m not thinking about anything. Just enjoying the moment now,” said Mischa. “Sometimes people are so busy thinking about the past and the future that they forget to enjoy the present.”
“Ahh .. you’re right. That’s a good mindset,” said Vega, smiling back. She then pointed to the seat beside the steering wheel and asked, “Can I sit here?”
Mischa nodded. “Please.”
“Thank you,” said Vega. She then sat on the chair while observing her surroundings. “Thanks for allowing me to join you here … I think my brother and JM have been wanting to make out, but they don’t want to make me feel left out. So, they’ve been holding back.. hahahaha.”
Mischa laughed and nodded. “Of course.”
“I brought us cakes and drinks,” said Vega as she took out a bottle of drink and cakes from the bag she was carrying. “I have fruits too.”
“Ah .. I want this apple,” said Mischa as he picked an apple and started to bite it. “Thank you.”
Vega poured two glasses of sparkling wine into their glasses. Soon, she and Mischa sat down chatting. The cold breeze provided a really nice atmosphere.
“You are doing well with driving this ship,” commented Vega. “Do you sail often?”
Mischa nodded. “I do.”
“Ahh .. with whom?” asked Vega again.
In the past, Mischa often sailed with Lisa, before their relationship ended. Now that Lisa was gone, he was used to going out alone. Spending time alone in the ocean always managed to lift his mood.
“Alone,” said Mischa. “It’s fun to sail or travel alone.”
“Really? You don’t feel lonely sailing by yourself?” asked Vega.
“Sometimes I do, but that’s okay,” said Mischa. He raised an eyebrow and grinned. “Do you want to accompany me so I won’t feel lonely?”
Vega’s face immediately flushed red. She didn’t reply. Mischa didn’t force the girl to answer either. He just smiled to himself.
“Mischa, how long have you been single?” asked Vega a while later. She also took out an apple and took a bite while chatting with Mischa.
“Hmm .. about seven years,” said Mischa. “My last relationship ended because she couldn’t accept my past.”
Mischa then told Vega a little about Lisa. Because Vega didn’t remember anything about what happened seven years ago, Mischa felt better if he didn’t tell Vega that Lisa was dead, killed by the group of villains who kidnapped her.
“We had been in a relationship for many years and at that time we also lived together,” explained Mischa. “She is a regular woman. After years together, I was sure that I wanted to spend my whole life with her. So, I proposed to her and I told her about my past.”
“Ahh .. your past as … an assassin?” asked Vega. She remembered that her father was also a former assassin, just like Mischa. That’s why the two men were so formidable.
“Correct.” Because it had happened so long ago, Mischa no longer felt the deep sadness he used to have whenever he talked about her. Now he could share his story in a calm manner. “Unfortunately, she couldn’t accept my past and then decided to end the relationship and leave.”
“Ohh …” Vega pursed her lips. “You must be so sad …”
Mischa shrugged. “I was. Since then I haven’t opened my heart to a new woman. I think it’s easier to have a relationship with a woman who already knows who I am and can accept me. I don’t have to explain myself to her.”
“That’s right,” said Vega. Her face became radiant. She was sad to know that Mischa was dumped by his girlfriend. However, when she heard that Mischa had never opened his heart to another woman, Vega became very happy.
“But, I don’t think you will ever meet a woman who can understand you and accept you as you are if you never give them the opportunity to get to know you,” said Vega. “Have you dated any other woman after her?”
Mischa shook his head. “No. I’m quite busy and I’m in no rush to find a companion. I think the right person will come at the right time.”
“Ahh .. that’s right,” said Vega, smiling happily. “I agree with you.”
Inwardly, Vega was really happy because Mischa hadn’t even dated another woman since breaking up with Lisa. And the man had been single for seven years.
If Vega wanted to approach Mischa, she didn’t have to compete with past girlfriends.
“I will open my heart if you want to come in,” said Mischa, staring at Vega with a wide smile. “For you … the door is always open.”
