Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 1294

After the midterm exams, Mira officially registered for the upcoming university entrance exams through her school. Now that she had a solid financial foundation, she decided it was time to visit the rural village.

"Ethan, I want to head back tomorrow to pick up my adoptive parents."

Mira brought it up the moment she got home that day.

"Go to the village? Now?"

Ethan looked up from his laptop, clearly surprised.

"Yes, tomorrow is Saturday, so the timing is perfect."

Ethan frowned slightly. "I think Sarah and George are doing just fine in their hometown. There's really no need to bring them here yet.

Wouldn't it be better to wait until you get into college, and then you can take them straight to Aethelgard?

Right now, you haven't even officially left the Mercer household, so taking care of them would be complicated. Besides, you're juggling exam prep and your stock market investments.

Bringing them here now puts them right under the noses of our enemies. I'm worried you'll be stretched too thin."

But Mira saw things differently. "It's exactly because those people are so insidious that I need my adoptive parents close by.

Ethan, we can't hide from them forever. Don't forget, Mara is also reincarnated. She knows exactly how to navigate that village.

If she gets a malicious idea in her head and sends someone out there, it would be dangerously easy for her to kidnap them and use them against us. Comparatively, keeping them where I can see them is much safer.

Plus, I want them to finally enjoy some comfort and stop living such a hard life."

Ethan sighed. "Alright, I'll go with you tomorrow."

Satisfied, Mira turned to leave his room. As she reached the door, she remembered something else. "Also, find me a bodyguard."

With her adoptive parents arriving, they needed someone vigilant around the house.

"And you need to hurry up and sever ties with the Mercers. We don't care about their assets. I can walk away whenever I want since I have no real attachments to them, but you're in a different boat. To be honest, unless something unexpected happens, I'm planning to head to Wall Street this summer. Trust me, it won't take long for our wealth to skyrocket back to our past-life peak."
