Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 1065

Now we know why the Quinn family was jumping around like fools.

Are they out of their minds? How old is Seraphina Quinn? Why is she so hopelessly obsessed with Lawrence Lance?"

Rachel continued, "They came by for the third time five days ago, claiming you colluded with terrorists and were killed.

I was terrified, but remembering your instructions, I knew I couldn't let Grandma Eleanor find out even if the sky fell.

Besides, you hadn't called to say anything was wrong. Mason assured me you had a lucky star watching over you and that you'd be perfectly fine.

I was still anxious, but I had to feign total composure in front of the old lady so she wouldn't suspect a thing.

Jillian Lowe came over and told us they were making it all up. She said if anything real went down, Owen and Master Ellis would be on the front lines to shield us.

Later, Harvey Rivers returned and confirmed you were perfectly fine, which finally put our minds at ease.

Two days ago, Mason told me Leonard Lance spent an absolute fortune to somehow bail Lawrence out.

Word is, they wanted to shove Lawrence right back into a cushy corporate job, but the vice president refused, causing Richard and Jocelyn to throw a massive fit.

And then, we heard you were finally coming home."

When Mira left, she had worried the Quinn family would stir up trouble and specifically warned Rachel never to let them into the neighborhood.

As expected, they showed up, and more than once...

Luckily, the neighborhood security had been entirely replaced by Master Ellis's private detail.

Owen would handle the Lance family's internal drama. As for the Quinns, they couldn't cause any real damage anyway, so Mira decided to ignore them for now.

"Rachel, how are things going between you and Daisy Cross?"

Mira abruptly shifted the conversation and asked.

Anyway, Daisy is due in a month or two and can't work right now. She's welcome to stay a bit longer.

Yeah, she can stay with us right up until she heads to the hospital, which gives you a great chance to fulfill your duties as a mother-in-law."

However, after the baby was born, Mira couldn't allow her to live in the house.

"Thank you so much, Mira. But won't it be too much trouble having Daisy around?"

Rachel clearly wanted her son to take the permanent job. It was less stressful than the restaurant, paid excellently, and kept the family under one roof.

She was just worried Mason wouldn't agree, mostly because he disliked her constant nagging.

"It's no trouble at all. She's perfectly capable of taking care of herself before the birth."

"In that case, I'll have Mason stay on as the chef for now. If he wants to return to the restaurant, we can discuss it after the baby arrives."
