Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 360

Mira came back out, took a ceremonial sip of the soup, and ate exactly three grapes to appease her housekeeper.

"Rachel, I'm stuffed. I physically can't eat anymore."

"Mira, I saw the news about that horrible plane incident this morning. That wasn't your flight, was it?"

Just then, Jax Weaver and Silas Vane stepped out of their rooms.

"Of course—"

"Jax!" Mira cut him off sharply. "Rachel made chicken soup and grilled paninis. You want some?"

He wanted to point out that there was only one morning flight from Aethelgard to Melvion City, but the mention of food derailed his train of thought entirely.

"Hell yes, I do," Jax grinned. The man lived to eat, and a good meal instantly wiped his memory. He abandoned his sentence and dove for the dining table.

Silas joined him quietly. He didn't have Jax's bottomless pit of a stomach, but martial artists burned through calories fast.

With Jax distracted, Mira turned back to Rachel with a reassuring smile. "What were you asking?"

"Was that your plane on the news?"

"No, no, that was a totally different flight. We got to the airport way after that happened. We only heard about it when we landed."

"Oh, thank God. The news footage terrified me," Rachel sighed, pressing a hand to her chest.

Zane, the security guard who had driven them home, cleared his throat. "Miss Mira, should I be heading out now?" She had originally hired him just to watch the empty house while they were away. With Silas and Jax back, his services seemed redundant.
