Chapter 353 Blood on the Smile
Casey’s just as vicious as she was in my last life.
The first time she saw me back then, she hit me without even asking a thing.
Now, first time seeing me again–and she’s already trying to kill me.
Lauren threw her small hands forward, grabbing onto Casey’s dress and shouted with all her might, “Felix, help me!”
Her voice echoed through the vast halls of the villa.
In the kitchen, Felix froze mid–motion while preparing juice. His heart skipped a beat. He dashed out in one smooth stride.
Looking up, he caught the scene of Casey about to throw Lauren over the railing. His face went completely cold.
“You dare touch her?” His voice was low and tight with fury.
The moment Casey saw Felix, her legs went weak.
“Felix? You’re home?”
“N–No, it’s not what it looks like! I was just playing around. Don’t get the wrong idea!“.
She quickly let go of Lauren, panic flashing in her eyes as she looked at Felix.
He was still holding a fruit knife, staring her down in silence. His expression looked more like a god of death than a child.
Then suddenly, Felix smiled.
“Lauren, come have some juice.”
Relieved, Lauren exhaled. She turned back and gave Casey a mocking glance, then trotted downstairs and ran straight to Felix, taking his hand.
They walked together into the kitchen. Just before stepping inside, Felix glanced back at Casey–his gaze icy and razor–sharp.
A chill crept up Casey’s spine.
Damn little bastard. He’s just a kid–why’s he so terrifying?
The day I moved into the Brooker family with a baby bump, he pushed me down th
stairs. I lost the baby.
Not only that, I don’t know what he did to the doctors, but they took out my entire uterus. I can never have children again.
He was five. And he pointed a knife at me like it was nothing just because he could get away with it.
She’d swallowed her pride and kept her head down for five whole years in the Brooker household. Now

Casey couldn’t even meet his eyes. She was too afraid he’d suddenly charge at her with the knife and kill her on the spot.
Forcing a fake smile, she turned and all but fled back to her room.
Felix’s eyes remained as cold as ice. Beneath the surface, a murderous rage began to simmer.
But the moment he turned to Lauren, it all vanished. The deadly aura melted away, and he was once again just a shy boy.
He turned back to the fruit, slicing it with practiced care and dropping the pieces into the blender.
Lauren leaned on the counter with her chin in her hands, watching him with bright, eager eyes.
Feeling her gaze, Felix pursed his lips, embarrassed.”
The juice finished blending in no time.
“Here/Lauren. Try this.”
Lauren’s eyes lit up. She grabbed the glass and took a big sip. Her eyes went wide with delight.
“Wow! This is the best juice I’ve ever had! Felix, you’re amazing. I knew you were the best!”
Felix didn’t know where to put his hands.
No one had praised him so openly since his mother died.
All these years, he’d been cold and distant, except with his grandmother. Everyone else–he pushed away.
He never thought his frozen heart could be warmed again.
But now, with this little girl he’d only met once… he cared. He cared more than he could understand.
He reached out and gently patted Lauren’s soft, fluffy head.
“If you like it… I’ll make it for you every day, okay?”
Lauren nodded like crazy:
“Yes, yes!”
Felix really is a good person. Whether he’s little or grown up, he’s always had a kind heart.
Meeting him might just be the best luck I’ve had in this life.
She drained the rest of the juice in one go, then set the glass down and threw her arms around Felix’s waist, hugging him tight. She even nuzzled against him, clinging like she never wanted to let go.
Caught off guard, Felix’s ears turned red all over again.
“Lauren, I should take you home now. Your family’s probably missing you,” he said softly–though in truth, he didn’t want her to leave.
The only reason he was sending her awa was to been her cafe
