Rising from the Ashes (Andrew) novel Chapter 403

Chaptér 403 Andrew was taken aback and said , I have no intention of interfering with the Rhodes familys marriage arrangements .

I just think its unfair to force her into something she doesnt want .

Marcus smiled knowingly .

No need to explain so quickly .

I understand your feelings you want to be the hero who saves the damsel , right ? But think about it : even though youre accomplished and young as the deputy chief of Jayrodale General Hospital , the Rhodes family is in a completely different league .

Marcus continued earnestly , Your concern for Ms.

Rhodes isnt wrong , but you need to recognize the vast gap between your worlds .

Lauren is like a rare diamond , and having had her attention should be enough for a lifetime .

If you push your luck , you might end up getting seriously hurt .

Andrew could only smile wryly at Marcuss well meaning advice .

Clearly , Marcus saw him as someone trying to climb the social ladder .

While the Rhodes family had expanded to Blumedale and their prestige grew daily , Andrew was not impressed .

He had seen and dealt with far more powerful dynasties , and the Rhodes were hardly intimidating His only concern was Laurens happiness and wishes .

Well , thats all I wanted to say .

Remember , if you need my help with anything else , just ask , Marcus said as he stood to leave .

He added , But regarding Ms.

Rhodes , try to be realistic .

Only someone from another prestigious family could be her match .

People like us will only get hurt if we reach too high .

Andrew smiled faintly and replied , I believe nothing is impossible for those who are determined .

Marcus paused , then shook his head with a knowing smile .

It was clear this young man was not ready to give up , but while dreams were beautiful , reality was often cruel .

Lauren was from the Rhodes family wealthy , prestigious , and refined .
