The Heiress Revived from the Ashes (Lauren Bennett) novel Chapter 384

Chapter 384 Home Is Where the Heart Stays

Kenneth stood frozen, his hands still tingling with the warmth of Lauren’s waist. For a moment, he couldn’t bring himself to let go.

But before he could respond, a large hand appeared out of nowhere and shoved him aside with force.

Lauren was pulled from his arms and into another man’s embrace.

A voice rang out–icy and sharp as frost, its tone cold and indifferent.

“What do you think you’re doing to my fiancée?”

The moment Kenneth’s arms were empty, a strange hollowness filled his chest.

He looked up instinctively–and froze.

The man standing before him was none other than Felix Brooker, heir of Balewood’s most powerful family, the Brooker family.

Kenneth instantly bristled.

He didn’t like this man.

Not just because of who he was–but because he had seen the articles online. He knew that his idol, Lauren, was said to be the liancée of this so–called Brooker heir.

And Kenneth, though aware he wasn’t worthy of someone like Lauren, still believed no man could possibly deserve her. She was the moon in the sky–untouchable, to be admired from afar.

Felix might be powerful, but in the end, he was just a businessman. What right did he have to lay claim to Corwynale’s brightest scientific genius?

And that so–called engagement? A childhood promise. A game. Nothing more than a fantasy from long ago.

He turned back to Lauren, his gaze full of concern as though ready to rescue her, if she gave the slightest sign of distress. But instead what he saw was Lauren looking up at Felix with glowing joy,

Felix was only twenty two now, still carrying the youthful sharpness of his age—but there was already a hint of the cold restraint and gentle gravitas that had defined him at twenty–eight in their last life.

To Lauren, who had suffered so much in that previous life, Felix had been salvation–a ray of light in her darkest days.

And now, the boy from her past had grown into a man. He had found her. And, incredibly, he had recognized her at first glance.

The frost in Felix’s eyes melted as he gazed at Lauren. His voice softened to something only she had ever heard. “Lauren you’re finally back.”

He raised his hand, brushing a finger gently over her brows and cheeks.

Tve missed you all these years”

Lauren gave

him a soft

smile. I’ve missed you too.”

Felix’s voice dropped, filled with emotion. “Then come back to Balewood with me. Let’s get engaged.
