Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 1287

"Mira, do you think Owen Lance is also a time-traveler?" Ethan asked.

Mira shook her head. "I highly doubt it. If he had retained his memories, why wouldn't he come looking for me? And why would he leave that message for Master Ellis?

We had a great relationship in our past life, Ethan. You know that."

"Then if he didn't travel back, how does he know your name? Why would he specifically tell Master Ellis not to take you as a student?

Maybe you offended him in your past life, and for some reason, he couldn't leave you. So in this lifetime, he's out for revenge?"

"Impossible.

Ethan, I spent a lifetime with him. Do you really think I couldn't tell if his feelings for me were genuine or not?"

"Then what could be the reason?"

Ethan's brow furrowed deeper.

"Let's not dwell on this for now, Ethan. The truth will reveal itself eventually.

I'm not the type to lose my mind over romance. If I can win back Master Ellis and Owen in this lifetime, we'll pick up right where we left off. If not, then our time together has simply run its course.

I already mastered all of Master Ellis's medical techniques in my past life; in this life, I just need to rebuild my physical foundation."

Ethan caught her drift. "As for Owen, it's not even worth stressing over. There are plenty of great guys out there. With your looks and talent, finding a decent match will be a breeze."

Mira stayed silent. She knew Ethan had a point, but the love they shared in her past life was very real. No matter what, she owed it to Owen to give him a chance.

But if it truly couldn't be salvaged, she would walk away without a second thought.

By the time the two returned home, it was already afternoon. Mara had indeed written two songs, and the whole family was showering her with praise. Adrian and Damon were hyping her up to the heavens, deciding right then and there to file for the copyrights on Monday.

Don't forget, she was never a professional artist in her past life—she didn't even have a basic appreciation for the arts. I guarantee she won't be able to recall more than a couple of songs.

Ethan, we can make an absolute killing just by dominating the stock market. Trust me."

In this life, she had not only inherited her razor-sharp market intuition from the past but was even more capable than before.

"I've already locked onto a few massive blue-chip stocks. We make our move on Monday."

At dinner, the dining table was loaded with expensive dishes and rare vintage wines to celebrate Mara's sudden debut as a composer.

Lacey and Adrian flanked Mara on either side, while Damon eagerly served her food.

Mira and Ethan remained perfectly calm, refusing to acknowledge the sickening display of unearned arrogance. The meal went smoothly enough at first.

That was, until Mira reached with her silverware for a massive piece of premium Australis lobster in the center of the table, only for Lacey to abruptly swat her hand away...
