The Prince Who Cannot Fall In Love & The Missing Heiress - Chapter 338
“Gosh … you,” Vega just laughed at the words that Mischa uttered so casually. She looked away to hide the rosy blush on her cheeks. “I didn’t know you could joke like that.”
“I was not joking,” said Mischa lightly. He looked at Vega with a smile on his lips. “Miss Linden … I think you already know how I feel about you. Would you be willing to accompany this pathetic man to spend his lonely life together? I would love to come and see your father, but I wouldn’t dare do it if I didn’t get your approval.”
Vega bit her lip and then cleared her throat. She didn’t think it would be this easy.
She remembered when she was a teenager, she really liked Mischa. She even did so many things shamelessly to get his attention.
However, at that time, Mischa only treated her like a little girl.
She could feel that Mischa was keeping a distance from her. The man was only nice to her out of respect for Vega’s father.
But now, Vega really didn’t need to try. Mischa approached her openly and expressed with words and deeds that he liked Vega and wanted her as his wife.
Inwardly, Vega was both surprised and happy. It seemed after not seeing each other for so many years, Mischa now thought of her as a woman.
Maybe, their reunion now was serendipity that happened at the right time and place.
Mischa had lived his life alone for a long time and had had enough of being single.
So, when Vega came back into his life, not as a teenage girl like seven years ago, but as a woman, he felt attracted and finally opened up his heart for a new woman to enter.
Meanwhile, Vega herself was never attracted to other men. From seven years ago until now, it was Mischa that she liked.
When she was a teenager, Vega liked Mischa because she thought he was really cool. Mischa was handsome, mature, and imposing. He impressed Vega greatly.
Now, after seven years, all of her admiration had not changed. In fact, it only grew because she realized that Mischa had a very warm and pleasant personality.
One more thing that was a very important plus point for Vega, was the fact that Mischa was so formidable. She felt safe being around that man. Her father also really trusted Mischa to protect her.
If Vega was with him, she didn’t need to bother her twenty bodyguards. They were the reason she didn’t go out and socialize much.
Vega finally raised her face and looked at Mischa bravely. Ahh .. that’s right. Why should she feel shy about responding to his advances?
Wasn’t it obvious that she liked Mischa and now he liked her too? They were both adults and knew exactly what they wanted.
Why act pretentious, as if she wasn’t into him as much as he was into her?
“You … will really open your heart to me?” asked Vega in a seductive voice.
Her beautiful face and flushed cheeks looked even more beautiful because the sunlight from behind her made it look as if she was having a halo.
Mischa was in a daze, and for a moment could not say anything.
A moment later, the man was moved from his reverie when he felt Vega’s hand touch his bare chest. The man batted his eyes and smiled broadly, then nodded.
“That’s right,” he said firmly. His eyes lowered and stared at Vega’s naughty hand that was tracing his chest and slowly went down to his chiseled stomach.
Mischa was wearing black boardshorts to navigate their ship. His shirtless upper body looked very beautiful under the glow of the sun slowly descending to the west.
No wonder Vega became naughty and tempted to touch him. Gosh .. Vega immediately felt her chest pounding.
Why was she so presumptuous?
Was it because she was no longer a teenager that she had become bolder towards Mischa?
Or could it be because of the wine she had drunk earlier?
Even though she brought a new bottle of wine to the bridge, actually she had already had a few glasses of wine with JM while the girls were gossiping about the men.
Ahhh … that’s right, Vega. Just blame the wine if all else fails, she thought mischievously.
So be it. If Mischa rejected her advances and found her too aggressive, Vega would pretend that she was drunk and the next day she wouldn’t remember what she did this afternoon.
HAHAHAHAHA.
“Would you like to dance?” Suddenly there was a whisper in Vega’s ear from the handsome man.
He touched Vega’s hand which was on his waist and put it on his neck. He then took Vega’s other hand and wrapped it around his neck too.
Vega’s heart suddenly beat so fast. She raised her face and looked at Mischa with a shy smile,
“But … there is no music here …” Vega said softly.
“Hold on,” said Mischa. He took the airpods from beside the steering wheel and put one in Vega’s right ear and the other in his left ear. “I was listening to a really good song before you came. I think you’ll like it.”
He then took his cellphone from beside the wheel and punched a button. Slowly, a sweet melody played softly in Vega’s ear.
The girl stared at Mischa’s face which was so close to hers. The handsome face before her looked very pleasing to the eye. Vega was not sure what made her most attracted to Mischa.
Was it his face? Or was it his warm smile? Maybe his sunny personality?
Inwardly, the girl was grateful for her luck.
Lisa didn’t know what she was missing!
So what if Mischa’s past was dark? He was only working as an assassin for ten years, from his teens to his late 20s. After that, he had changed his way of life by working at RMI for almost two decades.
In fact, for the past twelve years, RMI had been active in various projects that improve the quality of human life.
“I love the music,” whispered Vega, closing her eyes. Mischa smiled at the girl’s attitude.
He then embraced Vega’s waist and closed his eyes too. Even though the sound of the music they were listening to could not be heard by outsiders, anyone who saw them could understand that the two of them were dancing to some music that only they could hear.
The intimacy was only for the two of them, not for anyone else.
Mischa hugged Vega’s waist and pressed their bodies close while rocking sweetly to the music. At that time, it felt like the world belonged only to the two of them.
They danced like that until the song ended and then the second song played. At that time, Vega wished there were a thousand songs on Mischa’s playlist so that they could continue dancing like this.
It felt… so beautiful and pleasant.
After the second song finished, Vega opened her eyes and found Mischa’s blue eyes staring at her with a playful glint.
“Vega …” The man’s voice sounded so soft in her ear. “I really like you … and I don’t want to play with your feelings. I’ve been thinking about it for the past year and I think… if you are willing to give me a chance, I want to marry you.”
Vega’s eyes suddenly went round. Just now … did her ears play tricks on her?
Mischa said he wanted to marry her?
WAS THIS A PROPOSAL? Oh my God!! Wasn’t this TOO SOON?
They weren’t even officially dating yet!
They had never kissed either …
Mischa could see the panic flash in Vega’s eyes and he chuckled. The man ruffled Vega’s hair and tucked a strand of hair behind the girl’s ear. “I told you from the start that I’m looking for a wife, and I like you … uhm, no I think I’ve fallen in love with you.”
“But …” Vega swallowed hard. “But…”
Wasn’t she an aggressive girl who was used to getting her way? Why was she suddenly at a loss for words now?
Mischa really didn’t waste any time. And he was so much more aggressive than Vega that he managed to confuse her and stun her … speechless.
“We … we’ve never even been… on.. on a date,” Vega said finally after she found her voice. She was embarrassed for her stutter, but she couldn’t help it. “A… proper.. date…”
“We can go out on as many dates as we want once Altair and JM go home,” Mischa said casually. “It will be just the two of us. I’ll take you on dates to the best places in the world. We can travel and go out and do whatever you want until you are satisfied.”
“Really?” Vega asked in a low voice. Her innocent expression made Mischa amused. The handsome man was very happy to see this aggressive girl suddenly turned into a meek little lamb.
“If you want it,” said Mischa again.
Vega lowered her face again. She was blushing so much now.
“I…” Vega’s voice sounded like a low squeak when she finally answered. “I want it.”
“Ahh .. really?” Mischa was very happy to hear the girl’s statement. He touched Vega’s chin and lifted her face to look back at him. “Then … can I kiss you?”
Vega swallowed hard.
This handsome face in front of her really made her see stars…
Gosh…
They … they’re finally going to kiss!
Vega had imagined what it would be like to kiss this man, countless times.
Now, when that opportunity finally arrived … her knees suddenly turned weak.
Vega nodded weakly. Her cheeks were red like a boiled crab.
Mischa grinned and then brought his face closer.
Vega closed her eyes as his soft lips landed a gentle kiss on hers.
