My Unchosen Ex Chases Reborn Me (Soren and Fiona) novel Chapter 327

Off to the side, tucked into an empty corner, Xavier's eyes reddened.

Fiona hadn't only pulled this lifetime's version of him out of the dark.

Even in the last life, he had seen this different ending.

The wound that had sat barren and exposed for so long was finally starting to close.

He had thought being reborn meant protecting her.

He hadn't expected that, after everything, she was still the one pulling him back out.

Naomi held tight to Soren's hand, like if she let go for even a second, he would turn and leave.

Only after she saw that he had no intention of going anywhere did she finally lift a hand and wipe at her tears.

"Soren, are you going to buy an estate of your own?" she asked.

Soren said flatly, "I'm not married yet. Naturally, I can't move out of the Zonfrillo Estate."

And with the title of Lord Soren still on him, it wasn't convenient for him to leave the estate either.

Now that he had returned to Jexburgh, the most important thing was settling the hearts of the people on his side within the estate.

If the infighting inside the Zonfrillo Estate surfaced openly right now, that would not be wise.

At the moment, Soren had to make sure the power in his hands stayed secure.

Otherwise, even getting married would be anything but easy.

If he wanted to marry Fiona, then the position of Lady Fiona had to stay with him.

It wasn't Her Majesty the Empress, but it still counted for something.

But the moment Naomi heard the words "not married yet," her eyes flicked toward Xavier.

Right now, Fiona had been taken by him.

Xavier looked back at Naomi with a calm, even gaze.

"Soren's back?" Penelope came hurrying over just then.

The second she saw Soren, her eyes reddened too. She didn't lose herself the way Naomi had, but it was there all the same.

Soren said evenly, "Mother Consort."

Penelope knew very well what her son had suffered.

If Alexander had done it for the sake of the Zonfrillo Estate, Tristan had absolutely not.

Parents planned for their children with long thoughts and deeper calculations, and now that Tristan's own son was no longer small, he was likely thinking for his son too.

She had a thousand things she wanted to say, and no place to start.

"It's good that you're back."

In the end, that was all Penelope said, with tears in her eyes and a smile that held on anyway.

But she still had to consider the dignity of the Zonfrillo Estate.

Even if she hated Tristan so much her teeth were grinding, she could not let it show.

Penelope knew that now that her son had returned, everyone's eyes were on him.

At a time like this, there could not be even the smallest misstep.

"Soren, Mother Consort has been thinking about you this whole time too," Naomi cut in from the side, eagerly trying to pull her brother and their mother back toward each other.
