"Fae ... do you want to come with me and forget everything that happened?" asked Ren in a half-whispered voice. "I promise to take good care of you and our children. I don't care about Moravia or other things. My whole life now is just for you."
Fae was really touched when she saw Ren's sincerity. She tried to hold back her tears so that they didn't flow again and finally nodded.
Ren breathed a sigh of relief. He framed Fae's face with both hands and then kissed Fae's lips again.
"You make me very happy ..." he whispered. He held Fae to his chest for a long time. The two of them then cried while hugging.
Fae cried because she thought Ren had finally changed, while Ren cried over the death of his two children who would never be born into this world. It was so hard for him since he had to mourn alone while keeping the truth a secret from Fae.
"I think the weather in Europe is too cold for us. How about tomorrow we go to Asia?" asked Ren while looking closely at Fae. "I want to take you to live in a beautiful place where the weather is warm."
Fae looked towards the window again and saw the snow that was falling heavily. Inwardly, she confirmed Ren's words. Moravia in winter was too cold and dark. The weather was mostly depressing for someone like her, who just went through a devastating incident. She also wanted to leave this place for a while and forget about all the bad things that happened last week.
She nodded and smiled a little. "I would like that."
"Alright .. I'll prepare everything. We will go tomorrow." Ren kissed Fae again, this time longer, and stroked her hair.
"Oh, by the way ... I have to say goodbye to my boss .." said Fae suddenly after Ren released her from his kiss.
Actually, Ren really hated hearing Mischa's name, but he didn't show it on his face. He could only nod.
"I'll call him, and you can talk to him directly," said Ren. "But I'd better wash your body first and change your clothes, so you will look fresher."
Fae nodded. "Thank you."
Ren went to get a wet towel soaked in warm water and a set of clean clothes for Fae. He gently helped Fae take off her clothes, then washed her body with a warm wet towel.
Fae was deeply moved by the attention Ren showed her during her predicament. The man treated her like a princess and was always there to take care of her. After a week of caring for Fae, he had become quite skilled. He carefully passed the plaster that was still on her stomach, then cleaned her chest, stomach, hips, thighs, legs, and her whole body.
After drying Fae's body with a dry soft towel, he then helped Fae put on her clothes. When he had finished, Ren combed Fae's hair that fell down to her waist.
He noticed that Fae's hair was getting brighter now. It was now ash blonde. Fae also noticed the same thing. She touched her hair and frowned.
"My hair in the past year has started to change color. It's getting lighter and lighter..." said Fae as she looked at Ren. "Have you heard of anything like this before?"
Ren nodded. "Hair color can change, but this is not really common. Why? You don't like your hair color now?"
Fae shook her head slowly. "It's not that. I like it. It's just that it confuses me."
"You will get used to it," said Ren. "Didn't you tell Linda that your hair color started to change because you stop using the shampoo you used in the village?"
"Right. Do you think it has something to do with it?"
"Could be," said Ren. "If you want, I can find the same shampoo you used from before. I don't want you to feel uncomfortable with your body ..."
"No, I'm fine. I'm just baffled," said Fae. She touched Ren's hand, who was combing her hair. "That's enough, thank you."
"Are you sure? I want to style your hair into a practical bun like you usually do," said Ren offered.
Fae refused him softly. "No need. I don't want to trouble you any further. Thank you."
"Hmm .. alright," said Ren. He then took out his cellphone. "Do you want to talk to Mischa now?"
"Yes," replied Fae.
"OK."
Ren dialed Mischa's number and called him via video call. Karl had promised Mischa that Ren would give news about Fae's condition, and he intended to fulfill that promise.
If Mischa saw that Fae was okay and was back with her husband, then the man would stop bothering Fae and leave her alone. Ren didn't need to worry about Mischa anymore.
Mischa, who was on the phone with Livia, frowned when he saw an incoming call from Ren's number.
"Livia, I have an important phone call. I'll call you later," he said. He then pressed the accept call button.
Ah, it turns out that Ren called him using video. Mischa wondered what was going on.
"Boss?"
Mischa was stunned to see Fae's face on his cellphone screen. His heart suddenly beat very fast. He was anxious about Fae and was very relieved when he saw the girl called him and she looked fine.
"Fae? Where are you?" he asked, unable to hide the joy in his voice. "Are you okay?"
He saw Fae was in a very luxurious room and he could guess that it must be Prince Renald's residence.
"I'm fine, Sir. I'm sorry if I made you worry ..." said Fae with a guilty expression. She knew her boss was very good to her. "I got sick and had to be treated by a doctor for a week."
Mischa could see Ren walking over to Fae and sitting beside her. The man deliberately rubbed Fae's hair and kissed her forehead.
"I am grateful for your kindness so far, Mr. Rhionen. You have helped my wife and gave her a job. You also treated her well. During this week, Fae was sick and I've been taking care of her. From now on, I will make sure she will always be fine," said Ren while staring at Mischa with a sharp glance.
Mischa was stunned to see the couple's intimacy on his cellphone screen. Ren grabbed Fae's left hand and squeezed it gently in front of Mischa.
"Wife? What did you mean by that, Your Highness?" asked Mischa to make sure.
"As far as I know, Prince Renald Hanenberg is not married and will be engaged to Lady Amelia Genevieve," Mischa quickly added. He wanted Ren to admit in front of him, as the crown prince of Moravia, that Fae was indeed his wife.
"That's right," said Ren coldly. "I am prince Renald Hanenberg of Moravia. I am already married to Fae Muller. As for my status in public, I don't think it's your business."
Fae could sense that the two men were showing hostility, so she hurriedly tried to defuse the situation. She smiled and waved. "Please don't fight. I know you two are both worried about me. I'm fine now. Boss, I called you because I wanted to let you know that tomorrow my husband and I will go on vacation to calm down. You don't have to look for me again."
Mischa stared at Fae for a long time, trying to find out whether Fae was under someone's pressure or not. Finally, he sighed. He could see that Fae's expression now looked brighter and happier than before.
Maybe Fae and her husband have gotten back together and now they wanted to turn open a new page. Mischa knew his place and finally nodded.. He didn't want to be seen as a homewrecker for getting too close with other man's wife.
