Chapter 220 - Honey, It's Not Your Fault

"Sir, we have landed," said the flight attendant politely. Ren, who never slept soundly without Vega by his side, opened his eyes and nodded. He said nothing, then took his jacket and got up from his chair to walk out of the plane. 

John was waiting for him on the runway in his private car. His trusted driver looked worried, seeing Ren's murky face.

"Good morning, Sir. Are you well?" he asked attentively. Ren just gave him a tired look and didn't answer.

Knowing his place, John said no more. He opened the door for Ren and carried his bag into the trunk. It didn't take long before the car was driving down the highway towards Ren's private mansion.

"Amelia, I want to meet you," Ren took out his cell phone and called the girl. His voice was calm and completely devoid of anger.

Amelia, who received his call on the other end, clutched her cell phone tightly. Her chest was pounding hard. She knew that the crucial moment had finally arrived.

For months, Ren didn't come to her to make calculations, and Amelia grew more and more restless each day. She knew her childhood friend very well and she knew Ren was not someone who could forget his grudge.

Amelia didn't understand why Ren had disappeared with Vega. Did this mean that Ren finally forgave Amelia's actions? Or ... he deliberately kept the calculations until the right moment.

Was now the time?

"I also want to meet you," Amelia said hoarsely. She tried to calm down and answered Ren quietly. "I think we have a lot to talk about."

"I'm waiting for you at the penthouse tomorrow morning," said Ren and hung up the call.

He still did not allow Amelia to come to his mansion because he respected his wife's request that Amelia was no longer allowed to set foot in their home.

He deliberately asked to meet Amelia to meet him at the penthouse the next day because he wanted to take care of many things today. First of all, he had to get rid of all the news about him and Vega in Bali, then punish everyone who made bad comments about his wife.

Let them all learn to use their words wisely. They shouldn't go without punishment after they dared to say anything bad about his wife!

"Welcome, Sir," Linda greeted Ren with a beaming face. She had not seen her master in this house for a long time. She was very happy that Ren had finally returned. The housekeeper tried to refrain from asking where his lady was, because she didn't want to be seen as presumptuous. 

Fortunately, however, Ren himself gave her the news that Vega was fine.

"Madame is settling down with her family," said Ren without being asked. "You don't need to worry."

Linda's face looked confused at her master's words. As far as she knew, Mrs. Hanenberg was an orphan. How could she be with her family?

Even so, Linda was happy because it seemed like good news. If indeed the madam was with her family, of course, things would be fine. Linda breathed a sigh of relief.

"I am pleased to hear that, Sir. Will you come back here?" she asked, looking hopeful.

Ren was stunned at the question. He looked around the house and realized that compared to the Linden family's wealth, what he owned was nothing.

His mansion was indeed very large and luxurious, his penthouse in downtown Almstad was even more luxurious than this ... but he knew that everything he owned couldn't be compared to what Vega had and would inherit.

In the past, when he brought Vega from her village in Rhine, Ren was a prince with wealth and rank far above her. But now, in fact, if you want to be compared, their positions had been reversed.

Whatever Ren had now, was nothing compared to what Vega had.

Would Vega come back here and live with him in this simple home? He didn't know.

Most people would certainly choose to live in a nicer and more luxurious place. So, Vega would likely choose to go back to her family's home. The question would fall on Ren to decide whether he would go home with Vega to her family's estate... or not.

He opened his cell phone and saw various gossip articles on entertainment and news websites featuring photos of him and Vega on Uluwatu beach in Bali. Their faces both looked happy.

Vega smiled and looked at him lovingly, while Ren hugged her waist and walked with light steps down the beach. They didn't pay attention to their surroundings at all. Their attention was only on each other.

PRINCE RENALD FRIEDRICH HANENBERG allegedly got married secretly a few months ago and went on to Bali for honeymoon. DOES THE PALACE KNOW THIS?

Ren smiled a little when he looked at Vega's face in those photos. Ah ... he had to quickly get his business in Moravia sorted out so he could get back together to be with his wife.

Was this feeling he was experiencing a feeling of longing?

It felt so foreign.

He closed his eyes and lay down on the bed. His mind felt very tired, and his body also grew restless. It felt like he wanted to sleep and rest for a long time. After he woke up, there were so many things he had to do.

He won't have time to miss his wife after this.

[How are you? Have you reached Almstad yet?]

His sharp ears heard an incoming SMS from his phone. When he opened it and found a text from Vega, his face immediately beamed.

He replied to the SMS with a smiling face. [Yes. I miss you.]

RING

RING

Vega suddenly called him after receiving a text back from Ren. Ren picked up his wife's call happily.

"Hi ... what are you doing?" he asked.

"I am glad to hear you miss me," said Vega. Her voice sounded hoarse as if she had been crying. It made Ren's heart feel like he was stabbed with a knife.

What happened after he left? Why was Vega crying?

"Honey .. what's wrong? Why are you crying?" he asked in a worried voice.

Vega seemed trying to hold back her sobs and sounded fine, but Ren, who knew her very well, knew that his wife was hiding something. He asked what had happened again, this time with a more urgent tone.

"Honey, please tell me ... what happened? Did someone wrong you there?" he asked in an increasingly worried voice. "I'll be right there ..."

"No ... that's not it. You don't need to come here," Vega said quickly. She tried to take a deep breath and organize her feelings so that Ren wouldn't worry. "I was crying for a while. I already know how I was kidnapped... I feel very sad because those bad guys killed so many people to take me from my family. They killed three of my very loyal bodyguards because of me, and also Mischa's girlfriend. I made them kidnap his girlfriend and kill her viciously ... then they also hurt Mischa ..."

Vega could no longer hold back her tears. She was finally sobbing on the phone.

Ren felt a pang of pain in his heart. Vega's tears and crying sound on the other end of the line made him feel guilty.

"Honey ... it's not your fault ..." he whispered hoarsely. "You are completely innocent ..."

I am the one who is guilty....
