The Prince Who Cannot Fall In Love & The Missing Heiress - Chapter 347
Vega knew she wanted children, just like Mischa. But did they want it now? She knew that for their people from the Alchemist clan, children would only be conceived if both parents wanted them.
So, when Mischa asked whether he should wear protection or not when they had sex, Vega was wondering if the man was used to having protected sex with a regular woman, a non-alchemist, unlike her.
That was the difference between their kind and the regular people. If an Alchemist man or woman had sex with regular people, the ‘rule’ didn’t apply.
They could get pregnant if they didn’t wear protection. However, for alchemist people, they would only get pregnant if both man and woman wanted to have children.
Their perfect bodies allowed them to stay young for as long as they lived, and they also wouldn’t have unwanted children. This was what made their society perfect.
Vega knew if she wanted children, and Mischa wanted the same thing, their union today would result in a pregnancy. She knew she wanted it… but she didn’t know if he wanted it now too.
He did say he wanted children in the future. But… what if she got pregnant right away?
“Mischa,” Vega slowly turned her body to face Mischa. She found the man smiling as she wrapped her hands around his neck. He hugged her waist and looked into her eyes deeply.
“Yes, Honey?” he replied.
Vega’s cheeks immediately blushed when she heard him call her ‘honey’.
This was the first time. And she liked it very much.
Vega pursed her lips. “I was wondering…”
“Yes?” Mischa responded patiently. He knew there was something that bothered her mind. After spending a lot of time together, he could already read most of her expressions.
“You don’t have to answer me, but I just want to know if…”
Vega wanted to know if Mischa was sexually active before Vega entered his life. Even though he didn’t have a girlfriend after Lisa broke up with him, he didn’t say he never slept with any other woman.
It was not uncommon for men to have flings or one-night stands, right? Mischa was a normal man and he must have his sexual needs too.
Vega couldn’t imagine the man was practicing abstinence from sex for over seven years.
But maybe.. he could?
“You want to know if I have slept with another woman before you?” Mischa asked with a smile. He could guess what she had in mind.
“Gosh..! How did you know?” Vega widened her eyes in surprise. Was she that easy to guess?
“Well… It’s kind of written on your forehead,” Mischa replied jokingly. When he saw Vega pursed her lips again, he tugged her chin and kissed her lips. “I am just kidding, Sweetheart.”
Vega’s cheeks blushed again. She loved hearing him call her using pet names. He started with ‘Honey’ and now ‘Sweetheart’. They sounded so sweet in her ears.
“It’s okay if you don’t want to say,” Vega hurriedly said. “I am just curious because you asked whether you should wear protection when we… have sex, or not.”
“Why not? I think they are valid questions,” Mischa said. “I do want to have children, but if you don’t want them, I wouldn’t force you to have my kids.”
“No.. no, it’s not that…” Vega said. “Our people don’t need to wear protection. If both the man and woman want children, they will have children. If none or only one wants it, there will be no children conceived from their union. So, I found it weird that you asked me that question. Unless you often did it with regular women and you have to do it while wearing protection.”
At her explanation, Mischa was stunned. He looked at her with widened eyes as he digested the information he just received. Then, the man shook his head.
“I didn’t know it,” he admitted honestly. “You know I wasn’t born an Alchemist. I only took the immortality potion 12 years ago as a gift. I also didn’t spend much time with the people from the clan. So… this information is news to me.”
“Oh.. is it?” Vega batted her eyes when he heard him. Somehow she felt relieved.
So, he just didn’t know of this fact.
“And… to answer your question, no… I didn’t sleep with other women before you,” Mischa added with a smile. “I cannot have sex without feelings and I haven’t found the woman I could share my love and passion with, before I met you.”
He looked at her deeply and smiled faintly. He could see Vega’s cheeks turned red like tomatoes. She looked so adorable and made him tempted to pinch her cheeks. However, he held back.
“Ahh.. I am really happy to hear that…” Vega gushed. She was all smiles and her face was beaming with happiness.
“You are?” Mischa was happy too. For so many years, Vega had become his life goal. He just wanted to find this girl and make up for his mistake that caused her to suffer so much.
Now, he felt bliss. Vega was safe, happy, and with him.
“I am really happy,” Vega whispered.
Mischa felt so moved. He rubbed her hair lovingly and kissed her again. “I love you, Vega Linden.”
Vega was stunned when she heard his words. Finally… one of them said the magic words!
Mischa confessed his love to her. This felt so surreal!
“I-I… ” Vega was suddenly out of words. She wanted to say something but nothing came out of her mouth. She only looked at Mischa with her mouth agape.
Her reaction made Mischa wanted to laugh.
Finally, he could make this aggressive girl turn meek and didn’t know what to say. So, he repeated his words to tease her.
“I love you, Vega Linden. I love you so much,” he whispered. “Will you marry me?”
Vega fluttered her lashes and still didn’t know what to say. This was all too sudden.
Yes, she loved this man and she dreamed of the day he would ask her to be his wife, but when the day suddenly arrived, she was not ready.
“Wait here…” Mischa said and kissed her forehead, before he climbed down the bed, put on a robe, and scoured his bag from the closet. Meanwhile, Vega had reached a night robe from the bedside table and put it on too.
She was wondering what was it that Mischa was trying to do.
Wait.. did he just ask Vega to marry him?
For real?
Vega pressed her lips in shock. Mischa had found the ring that he kept inside his bag and now he was down on one knee before Vega who was standing rooted in her place with a shocked expression.
“I’m sorry, I have prepared to propose to you properly after a romantic dinner and maybe while watching the sunset,” the man muttered. He suddenly looked nervous. “But… I got carried away just now and my heart couldn’t hold it in anymore, and I know I have to do it now.”
He reached out his hand with the ring on it and looked at Vega with hopeful eyes. “Vega, sweetheart.. I know we have only been in a relationship for a few weeks, but I know very certainly that I want to spend the rest of my life with you.”
“You are the most beautiful, smart, fun, attractive woman I have ever met in my life. I admire your wisdom, your heart, your kindness, and your love for the people around you. Being with you makes me a better person, and I strive to protect you and make you happy every day.”
Vega pressed her lips in shock and her body was shaking in excitement. Everything happened all at once. She felt overwhelmed. But it was a good kind of being overwhelmed, so she didn’t mind it.
“Oh.. Mischa…” she whispered.
“Would you make me the happiest man in the world and marry me?”
Vega felt her chest pounding and she could hear herself giving the answer to his proposal. “Yes… yes, I would love to marry you.”
Mischa let out a sigh of relief and put the ring on her finger. Then, he rose and kissed her lips tenderly.
“I love you, Vega Linden…” he whispered over and over.
Finally, Vega replied to his love confession.. “I love you too, Mischa.”
