Chapter 152 - Fae Was Offered A Place To Stay, Again.

"Hey... John is here. He said he wanted to take me to my new residence. I don't understand what he meant," said Fae as soon as Ren picked up her call.

Ren replied calmly as usual, "I know you now live in a shabby flat near the Old Town. I can't possibly let my wife live in the slum."

Slum? 

Fae bit her lip, trying to hold back her annoyance. It was the only apartment she could afford to rent in this expensive city of Almstad, and Ren called it slum???

"I'm not your wife," was all she could say. "I said I wanted to separate from you. You don't have to take care of me anymore."

"As long as you can't serve me with the divorce papers, you are still my wife," replied Ren casually.

"Ugh ..." Fae knew she would need a lot of money to get their divorce processed in Monaco.

Should she sacrifice her savings and overtime bonuses? Then what would she and her child eat later?

Ren was too much, she thought.

"So, you better just come with John. He will show you your new apartment, you can move there anytime," said Ren again. "Oh, by the way.. I've also transferred extra money for you this month. If you need a new cell phone, you should have told me."

"Extra money?" Fae frowned in surprise.

Ren always transferred money to Fae's account every month to use as she pleased. Did Ren still send her money even though she already asked for a divorce?

Reluctantly, Fae opened internet banking and checked her account balance. 

Jeez ... her money was increased by five thousand euros. That's a lot.

Is this Ren's way of bribing me not to get divorced? Fae wondered.

Maybe her husband thought that Fae wanted a divorce because she didn't love him anymore. So, Ren wanted to coax Fae to come back to him at all costs.

Ren was wrong. Fae still loved him very much. But she insisted on getting away from Ren's life because Fae loved her child more.

"How do you know I'm buying a new cell phone?" asked Fae in a probing tone. She shuddered at the thought that her husband could know all her moves, where she lived, and even the fact that she had gotten a new cell phone yesterday.

"Fae ... you are my wife. Your safety and well-being are my responsibility. I told you that I tracked your cellphone. You already know this," Ren replied patiently. He massaged his forehead in annoyance. From the beginning, he already had told Fae that he always sent his people to monitor her and that he also tracked her cellphone. "Do you remember when the police took you, and you tossed your cell phone in the trash? I tracked your cell phone to find out where you were."

"Oh .." Fae just remembered the incident. It seemed that she often didn't pay much attention when Ren talked to her about such things. She pursed her lips. "Then, from now on, I won't allow you to track me. I will take care of our divorce."

"Fae .." Ren tried to call Fae with his softest voice. "Don't be stubborn."

"I'm not stubborn. I've thought about this carefully. You left me to think for a month, and finally, I made a decision. This is what I want," said Fae firmly. "Besides, I've got a new residence. My office provides an apartment in a luxurious building for me to live for free. I'll be safe here, and you won't have to worry about me."

She wouldn't tell Ren that she was offered to stay at a penthouse with her boss.

Ugh, this also meant that she had to tell Mischa that she had finally decided to move to St. Laurent and stay with him. All because Ren forced her into a new apartment!

She hung up the call and walked over to John.

"I've talked to Ren and told him all the reasons why I can't move to the apartment he gave me. Please just go home. I still have a lot of work to do." Fae gave John a friendly pat on the shoulder and then walked back to the elevator to return to her office.

John was forced to call his master to report the failure of his mission. "Sir, Madam does not want to come to the penthouse. She said she had spoken to you and explained all her reasons."

Ren, who was standing in the middle of his luxurious penthouse, could only massage his forehead. He cast his gaze around and surveyed the penthouse's beautiful interior.

Fae refused the apartment he gave her. Ren actually wanted to give his beloved penthouse to his wife. It was the place he was staying now. When Fae came here a while ago, it was clear that she was very impressed and liked this place. Ahh .. why did Fae refuse his offer?

***

Fae knocked on Mischa's door and opened the door. Her sudden appearance shocked the man so much that he jolted up from his chair. His pair of eyes that had been staring at Fae's fingerprint report immediately looked guilty. He quickly turned off the screen and cleared his throat.

"What's the matter? You startled me," he asked.

"Boss .. I've been thinking about your offer to live with you in the penthouse .. but ..." Fae looked awkward. She hadn't told anyone that she only planned to work for a maximum of 5 months.

That's why she tried not to get too close to her co-workers, knowing that she would soon be leaving. However, now by deciding to stay with her boss in the penthouse to take care of him, inevitably, Fae would become closer to him.

Fae would not have the heart to just leave. She felt that she owed it to Mischa to tell him the truth.

"Boss .. I want to stay in the penthouse and take care of everything for you, but ... I can't stay long. I only intend to work for a maximum of five months." Fae bowed awkwardly when conveying it all to Mischa.

Mischa could only guess that the change in Fae's attitude, which suddenly decided to stay in the penthouse with him, must have something to do with the guest who just came to see her.
