Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 805

The two walked into the older woman's room. "Grandma Eleanor, I need to tell you something, but you have to promise me you'll keep your emotions in check."

"What happened and to whom?"

Seeing her grandmother's anxious expression, Mira thought to herself that they were, after all, her flesh and blood. Even though they had cut ties, the old lady still cared about them deep down.

"It's nothing major, but first, you have to promise to stay calm."

"Alright, I already have one foot in the grave; there's nothing I can't let go of. No matter what they've done, I won't get angry."

"Seraphina is pregnant."

"Pregnant? Isn't she unmarried? She just started college."

In the older generation's mind, intimacy only happened after marriage.

"She isn't married, but she's pregnant.

From the looks of it, she's about two months along, probably conceived around the time of their engagement party.

There's a good chance she doesn't even know it herself."

Using the skills she learned from Master Ellis, Mira could tell at a glance from Seraphina's complexion that she was pregnant.

"She slept with him right around their engagement?

That shameless girl acts like she's never seen a man before, just like her foolish mother.

My poor Quinn family's pristine reputation is going to be ruined by her, sigh..."

"Grandma Eleanor, you promised me you'd control your emotions."

"Alright, I won't get angry. Tell me what happened today."

Mira then recounted the argument at the school gates in full detail to her grandmother.

"There were a lot of students gathered around after school. It was only out of respect for you that I didn't expose it right then and there."

Truthfully, having a private affair wasn't a huge deal. Even if she was pregnant, she could quietly get an abortion and no one would know, aside from the toll on her health.

But if a wealthy family's daughter was publicly outed for an out-of-wedlock pregnancy, the entire family would become a laughingstock.

"They're probably asleep by now, maybe you should call tomorrow."

Mrs. Higgins advised.

"Can't they answer a phone call even if they're asleep?"

"Well, they won't be able to resolve anything until tomorrow. If you call tonight, they won't get any sleep."

"But if I don't make this call, I'm the one who won't sleep tonight.

Besides, even if they fix it tomorrow, shouldn't they start planning tonight?"

Since it was still early, Sebastian Quinn wasn't asleep when the old lady called. The family was still in the living room, watching TV, chatting, and eating fruit.

When Sebastian's phone rang, Miles Quinn glanced at the screen. "It's from Grandma Eleanor."
