The Prince Who Cannot Fall In Love & The Missing Heiress

Fae felt suffocated and, for a moment, she froze, not knowing what to do. Meanwhile, Ren had put down his phone, and, from the sound of it, he was back to typing something on his laptop.

At the last minute, Fae finally decided not to surprise her husband by entering through their large window. She walked around, entered through the front door, and headed straight into the dining room.

Ten minutes later, Ren arrived at the dining room for lunch. The man approached Fae, who was sitting on a chair, peeling an apple. He kissed her forehead.

"You're home already? Why didn't you tell me?" asked Ren.

Fae shook her head.

"I don't want to bother you," the girl replied softly.

"I told you I shouldn't be disturbed until lunchtime, that's all. You can, of course, come to me at any time." Ren looked at Fae and felt that there was something different about her, but he didn't know what. Finally, he sat down beside Fae and get ready to eat lunch.

Linda and Greta served them lunch efficiently. The atmosphere in the dining room was not as warm as usual and Ren felt that something had changed. After a long period of thought, he realized that Fae had not asked how he was doing.

This morning before Fae went downtown to get some medicines, his wife was looking very worried. But now that she was back, she didn't even ask if Ren was getting better or not.

The man realized that something must have happened. Finally, after they had finished lunch and enjoyed a small cup of coffee each, Ren took Fae's hand and pulled her body onto his lap.

"Uh ... Linda and Greta will see us," squeaked Fae frantically. She felt that Ren's reputation as a strict boss would be affected if the staff saw him sitting with Fee on his lap like this.

"They are smart and know their place," replied Ren. "I won't worry about them."

Fae caught Ren's eyes and tried to understand this man. Unfortunately ... she was not a mind reader, and those beautiful amber eyes got her carried away without giving any answers.

Why did Ren marry her if he was not in love? Just to use Fae to get good sleep? Was sleep that important to this man?"

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Ren asked in puzzlement. "This isn't like you ..."

Fae shook her head. "I am just admiring your face."

"See? It doesn't sound like you."

"Really? So, how was I supposed to sound?" Fae asked back. She wanted to know if Ren really knew her well.

"Fae that I know of is always happy. Your cheerful voice can be heard filling the air around me, and it sends good vibes my way since your happiness is contagious. The current Fee seemed sad. Is something bothering you? Did something happen downtown?" Ren asked Fae attentively.

"I was just thinking about school. On the way back, I passed several big campuses. I can't wait to continue my education."

Fae wanted to go to school as soon as possible. Maybe Ren didn't love her because she came from a village and was uneducated? If Fae became a sophisticated girl with a good education, could Ren love her?

"We have agreed to enroll you in college in the next school year. It's still six months away, "Ren said.

"Yeah, but I feel like I needed to find something to do in the meantime. So that the changes in my lifestyle won't be too drastic. If I stay at home to relax for too long and do nothing, it might be difficult for me to adjust with a student's busy life," Fae said.

"You can find something to do at home too," suggested Ren." You can always do some gardening, knitting, cooking, and making some handicrafts."

"I want to find something to do where I can meet lots of people. Staying home for too long would make me a boring person," said Fae again. "Once you recover, you will be busy again. This house is too big and I am lonely. I feel uncomfortable staying home by myself all the time."

Ren frowned and looked at Fae deeply. He guessed that Fae might want to find a job.

"Then what do you want to do?" He asked her again.

" I want to find a part-time job that doesn't take up a lot of time, but can give me something to do. I'm also happy to meet lots of people." Fae looked away.

She actually wanted to work and earn her own money. Even though Ren had declared that he would take care of her, Fae felt that she should not be completely dependent on her husband.

Ren's words were still ringing in her ears.

Ren didn't love her.

Why would she depend on a man who didn't love her?

What's worse was that, even though Fae knew that her husband didn't love her, he treated her so well. So, Fae could only imagine how Ren would treat the woman he really loved if someday that woman came into his life.

Maybe now Ren felt that marrying Fae was a practical choice. It only gave him benefits without any downsides. Moreover, he didn't have a girlfriend that he loved.

But, what if someday Ren suddenly met a woman who could make him fall in love? When that time came, Fae would have no more reason to keep their marriage.

She could try to fight for her love and tried to make Ren fall in love with her during their marriage ... but at the same time, she had to prepare herself for the worst-case scenario that Ren would never love her back.

"Do you still want to find work?" asked Ren in surprise. "I already told you that I will take care of you. Amelia has transferred your monthly allowance. You can use it to get whatever you need."

Fae loathed hearing Amelia's name. And her face winced when she heard Ren mention that name earlier. She knew Amelia was Ren's secretary, so it was only natural that the arrogant girl transferred Fae's allowance to her account on behalf of Ren. But it made Fee feel like she didn't want to touch the money.

"Ren ... can I be honest with you?" asked Fae suddenly.

"Of course, fire away," replied Ren. He studied Fae closely and tried to figure out what was on her mind.

"Amelia doesn't like me and I don't like her either. When she came here last night, she was very condescending and it made me feel uncomfortable. I tried to hold back my feelings and forgive her because I know you are indebted to her family and because she is your childhood friend. But I don't ever want to see Amelia again," said Fae firmly.

"Hmm ... you feel annoyed because you are thinking about Amelia?" Ren asked to confirm. "I understand. Please understand her attitude. She came from old money, and she is also a noblewoman, so she was used to being pampered. I'll be more assertive with her and tell her not to treat you that way. Next time, she won't—"

"There is no next time. I don't want to see her again. Ever!" Fae interrupted Ren's words. "I also don't want you to ask her to transfer money to me or even do anything for me. I would prefer to work and earn my keep rather than seeing her name sending money to my account."

"You are not making any sense. She's my secretary, so of course, she has to do the admin work for me. I've never done those things myself," said Ren. He was starting to sound irritated. "Why are you suddenly being childish? This doesn't sound like you."

"Maybe THIS is who I am. Maybe you just don't know me very well," said Fae, biting her lip. "I still don't understand why you asked me to get married so quickly. I did fall in love with you. But you..."

Fae couldn't finish her sentence. It was too hurtful to even ask her husband why he didn't love her...

Ren narrowed his eyes and gave Fae a sharp look. "What do you mean?"
