Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 1046

"What about you? Did you want Wesley to come?"

Mira asked.

"I wanted him here. I wanted to throw myself into his arms and cry. I wanted him to comfort me..."

Natalie sniffled and wiped away a tear. "I also... I also wanted to see his reaction.

But... but I didn't want him to see me in this state either..."

Looking at Natalie, who looked as delicate and vibrant as a fresh spring bloom, still so deeply in love with Wesley, Mira realized Wesley had gotten lucky in this life.

In his past life, Wesley chose Mara Mercer, and in the end, Mara destroyed him completely, dragging the entire Scott family down into absolute ruin.

In this life, under Mira's subtle influence, he got engaged to Natalie. Barring any accidents, they would likely have a happy future.

As for Mara Mercer, she had finally met her well-deserved end.

The past faded away like smoke. Mira had only zoned out for a split second before pulling her thoughts back to the present.

She patted Natalie's back comforting. "It's okay. We're flying back tomorrow. You'll find out exactly how he feels once you see him.

Since you see me as an older sister figure, let me give you a piece of advice.

If you really want to spend the rest of your life with Wesley, tell him the absolute truth when you get back. Tell him everything you went through, everything you saw, and everything you learned here. Don't leave anything out.

If his heart breaks for you and he offers you nothing but care and comfort, then give him your whole heart from now on.

On the other hand, if he shows even a hint of disgust, cut your losses and rip the band-aid off. Break up with him immediately."

Mira paused, suddenly wondering if she had overstepped her boundaries as an outsider.

She quickly added, "Of course, my words are just for reference. You should discuss it with your brother and your dad. Listen to their opinions, too."

"I know, Mira. I know you're just looking out for me.

No matter what happens, I won't blame you. I'll only ever be grateful to you."

Natalie was incredibly perceptive; she instantly understood what Mira was trying to say.

"Mira, do you think Sienna will still be obsessed with handsome guys when she gets back?"

Even though we wiped out The Syndicate's base here, they have outposts scattered all over the world. We can't eliminate all of them."

"I know, I know. I promise I'll protect myself from now on.

Mira, you have to protect yourself too."

Natalie linked her arm through Mira's.

Mira returned to the inn's logistics area, found Owen Lance, and the two prepared to head out.

"Mira, why don't you guys stay and eat before you go?"

Natalie asked.

"No, we still have business to take care of.

Besides, with the mental state those victims are in, feeding them is going to keep you guys busy enough. We won't get in your way."

Mira and Owen still had to make a trip to Barlow National Bank. They had promised as much last night.
