Chapter 196 - Will You Marry Me?

"Please don't mention that name again, I still can't forget the events that happened on New Year's Eve ..." asked Fae in a somber voice. "I don't want us to fight, but I'm still angry because you don't do anything to your evil secretary ..."

Ren hurriedly hugged Fae and calmed her down. "Ssshh ... I'm sorry. I didn't mean to mention her name. I'll still make her pay what she did to you. You don't have to worry about that. I am waiting for the right. Right now, you are my priority. I mean .. I just want to talk openly to you .. It's about our future."

Fae felt her anger which was about to explode, slowly subsided when Ren hugged her tightly. Amelia was now no longer important to her.

Actually, maybe she should count her blessings. The tragedy changed her life and Ren's in a big way. After Amelia shot her and their two children died, Ren became devastated and finally realized what was important in his life.

He knew that Fae was the only thing that mattered to him and Ren finally changed because of that incident. 

If that didn't happen, maybe now Fae would still be living at Mischa's place and troubled her boss as a pregnant woman who had no one else in the world but him. She had to quit her job and care for her babies alone. She and Ren would still be separated. They might even be divorced.

Fae took a deep breath. Why couldn't she have both? Why did she have to lose one of them? Gaining her husband but losing her children?

"Ren ... I really don't care whether you are a prince or not. When we met, I didn't know who you were. After we got married, I never thought that I married a prince anyway, since you hid our marriage from the public. So if what you want to know is... do I mind if you are no longer a prince from Moravia .. then my answer is: no. I don't care about your status ..." whispered Fae in Ren's ear. "I love you just the way you are."

This was the time she had been waiting for for a long time. When they were about to get married, Ren had promised to find a way to resign from his position as the crown prince and live alone with Fae.

Was this the moment?

Ren rubbed Fae's back gently. He whispered. "Then, I've decided. I'll be a commoner. I want to live forever here with you. We can live without the privileges of being nobles. As long as you're willing, I want to be a commoner with you."

Fae let out a sigh of relief. Her tears slowly dripped from the corners of her eyes.

Ahh ... her patience had finally paid off. Her suffering had ended. She would always be with Ren and they would live happily together.

Maybe ... they'll have more children, and then their lives would be complete.

Fae broke free from Ren's embrace and shamelessly kissed his lips tenderly. She wrapped her arms around her husband's neck and closed her eyes to enjoy the meeting of their lips.

Many people who were enjoying the view of the sun setting on the sand around them, and those at the beach club, were distracted when they saw a very handsome man and an incredibly beautiful girl kissed under the tinge of the twilight.

These two humans were much more attractive than the sunset, they thought.

"Look at that couple ... how romantic," the crowd whispered in awe.

"What a lovely couple. They look so compatible, like a prince and a princess."

Ren returned Fae's kiss more affectionately. He was touched because Fae meant what she said when they got married more than 1.5 years ago. The girl did not marry him because he was a prince.

She even accepted the fact that Ren couldn't love her as a woman. The important thing was now they became a family and looked after each other. Ren really felt guilty because, from the start, he was the one who had so many agendas in their relationship. And he was the one who caused Fae to suffer so much.

He was determined to make up for everything that had happened in the past, and dedicated his entire life from now on to make his wife happy .. and their children in the future.

After the two of them ended the kiss, Fae and Ren looked at each other.

"Fae ... will you marry me?" asked Ren suddenly.

Fae smiled slightly at Ren's words. "What do you mean? We're already married."

Ren shook his head. "It's okay, right? I mean, let's just say we start over with a clean slate."

In the past, he asked Fae to marry him because it was part of his plan to get revenge on Elios Linden, Fae's father. He didn't love Fae at all. Their marriage was a hoax.

But now ... he loved the girl, as his family, as the mother of his children ... He really wanted to spend all his life with Fae. 

That's why .. this time he decided to turn over a new leaf and propose to Fae, sincerely and from the bottom of his heart.

"Ahaha ... of course, I will marry you," said Fae with a laugh. However, tears slowly streamed down her cheeks.

She remembered that when Ren proposed to her, he just asked her flatly. It wasn't romantic at all. She then understood that it happened because Ren did not have a romantic interest in women. But now, Ren looked like he wanted to start things in a good way.

"I'm so glad to hear that," said Ren with a smile. "We can ask to be blessed by the local priest in Bali with their traditional ceremonies. We don't have to go through a formal wedding again. I just really want to start all over with you."

"I'm happy with that .." said Fae. She cleared her throat and then whispered into her husband's ear. "I think ... we can go back to trying to have another child." 

Her face flushed with embarrassment, making her look very adorable. Ren smiled broadly at Fae's words.

Since the shooting incident, they had not had sex again. Apart from helping Ren recover quickly from his wounds, Fae still felt hurt and grief over the loss of her children.

She was traumatized and refused to be intimate with Ren. Even though they shared a bed, she refused to have sex with him, and it made Ren very sad. 

He actually wanted Fae to get pregnant again because he thought the next pregnancy would be like the medicine that could heal their broken hearts for losing their unborn children. However, he understood and tried to accept Fae's reluctance because he knew that he was the one that should be blamed for everything.

That's why .. when he heard from Fae that his wife was now ready to go back to trying to conceive... the joy that filled Ren's chest couldn't be described in words.

"I love you," whispered Ren. "You will be a wonderful mother, and I can't wait to raise our kids together with you."

They kissed again. The beautiful sunset became meaningless because the two finally decided to go home and continue their romance at home.

Fae and Ren walked while holding hands, leaving the beach, followed by the jealous looks of many couples who had been watching them since earlier.

"What a loving couple," people commented to one another.
