His Secret Millionairess Wife (Lauren) novel Chapter 23

Chapter 23 

Because of Charlie, it was already past eight o’clock in the evening when she returned to the Bennett family’s house. They all 

finished the meal. 

Lauren went to the dinning hall to eat something, and decided to went back to her room. Her leader had urged her to come back 

many times, so she had to go back tomorrow. 

Going back to her room, Lauren took a shower. After that, she sat on the edge of the bed with a bath towel and dried her hair. At 

that moment, someone knocked on the door. 

“Lauren, are you still awake? It’s me.” 

It was Mrs. Bennett’s voice so Lauren put the towel on her shoulder and went to open the door. 

Standing at the door, Mrs. Bennett was dressed in a simple style, which made her look more gentle and soft. 

“I want to see you so I come here,” Mrs. Bennett said in a soft voice. 

Lauren turned sideways and let her in. 

Mrs. Bennett sat on the sofa and, placing a car key on the table. 

Lauren took a look at it and it was a Ferrari. 

“This is a gift for you.” Mrs. Bennett said and smiled, “I planned to give it to you yesterday, but I missed the chance and during 

the day, you were not at home.” 

It was a gift from Mom! Looking at the car key on the table, Lauren turned soft. She remembered what Jeffery had told her about 

Mrs. Bennett. She knew how much she loved her when Lauren was linle 

But she was lost for 18 years. At that moment, Lauren didn’t know what to say 

Neither of Lauren and Mrs. Bennett was going to say anything but Lauren still felt warm inside. 

“Thank you,” Lauren wanted to add ‘Mom’, but when she opened her mouth, she found it was hard to say that. Lauren lowered 

her head in annoyance, a little angry with herself. 

Mrs. Bennett had been looking at Lauren nervously, and when she saw Lauren kept her head down, she thought that maybe 

Lauren didn’t like her gift. When she was about to say something, she saw Lauren’s wet hair. 

Mrs. Bennett stood up, picked up the towel on Lauren’s shoulder, and carefully dried her hair. 

Lauren was surprised by Mrs. Bennett’s actions, and she even froze. 

“Sit down,” Mrs. Bennett’s voice was still very gentle. 

Lauren sat on the sofa, while Mrs. Bennett standing behind her to dry her hair slowly. 

At this moment, Lauren suddenly wanted to turn back time and become a child, so that she could throw herself into her mother’s 

arms without hesitation. So there wouldn’t be a eighteen-year river between them. 

Lauren reviewed herself and thought she shouldn’t take a tough attitude before. There must always be someone who takes a step 

backwards first. She should do that for her mother. She was her mother’s daughter. 

After practicing saying Mom quietly, Lauren clenched her fists and summoned up her courage to pronounce the word Mom 

which she had been reading in her dreams for more than ten years. 

However, before she could say it, Mrs. Bennett said, “You have really beautiful hair.” 

Lauren observed her mother’s hair, which was also very silky. 

“I got in from you,” After saying that, Lauren immediately lowered her head in shyness. Mrs. Bennett said. “Yes, you are my 

daughter and of course you like me.”
