Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 884

"Liora, you can't just ask me to review someone while they're standing right here,"

Mira said helplessly.

"I think they'd make a great match,"

Wyatt chimed in with the tone of a seasoned elder.

"Why's that?"

Zachary asked.

"Because they're both so ruthlessly straightforward."

"Hahaha..."

The group burst into laughter, leaving Reece and Liora looking slightly embarrassed.

"We're all old enough to date, what's so funny about it? Is it really that big of a deal?"

The class president huffed indignantly.

"Spoken like a true class president. Defusing the awkwardness like a pro."

"Is it my honor to receive a compliment from Boss Mercer?

It's fine, Mira, just be honest. If you don't think it's a good idea, I won't hold it against you."

Reece said.

"We've all been friends since kindergarten. She's practically my sister, so I just want her to be happy.

She speaks her mind, as you've seen, and she doesn't play games. She has a good heart, and she's smart.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have gotten into Aethelgard Law School, right?

As for you, Reece? We've known each other for almost a semester now, and honestly, you've made a good impression on me.

So I have no objections if you two want to date. But the details are for you to figure out privately. If you both accept each other, I'll be thrilled for you.

Just remember one thing: whether it works out or not, even if you break up down the line, don't hurt each other. Keep it civil."

"I can promise you that much,"

Reece said.

"Alright, enough talking, let's eat. Didn't expect a romantic subplot with our lunch today,"

Cedric joked.

"Yeah, he moved on. He started dating someone new in his field, and they're planning to get married over the holidays."

"That's good."

The three of them arrived back at the apartment. The moment they walked in, Grandma Eleanor asked, "Did that other girl not join you today?"

Mira found it amusing. "Grandma, were you hoping she'd come, or hoping she wouldn't?"

"Well, it's peaceful without her, but it's entertaining when she's here. They both have their perks."

In that moment, Mira realized her grandmother was acting a bit like a mischievous kid. Still, if Sienna's chaos brought the old lady some amusement, it was worth it.

The afternoon downstairs passed in cozy, easy conversation, free from any horrifying surprises.

That night, while Mira was reading, Reece called to ask for more details about Liora.

"Everything I told you today covers her personally. The only thing I need to add is that her family comes from a very solid background."

"Are they wealthy elites from Melvion City?"

Melvion City was prosperous, and its billionaires were known nationwide.

"No, not billionaires. They're figures of authority. Her father and brother are both high-ranking police officials."
