Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 736

Inside a luxurious apartment in Aethelgard.

Lacey had finished her breakfast early and spent the entire morning having her hair styled and her makeup flawlessly applied.

She then slipped into an elegant silver gown adorned with delicate floral embroidery, paired it with a stunning set of emerald jewelry, and prepared to head to Aethelgard University to see her daughter.

Just the day before, her niece had stopped by for a visit with her fiancé.

"Lacey, it breaks my heart seeing you all alone in this big apartment," Seraphina had said sweetly.

Sera's tone was laced with feigned concern.

"I've gotten used to the quiet," Lacey had replied.

"Did you know Mira bought a gorgeous new place here in the city? It's a massive penthouse, over three thousand square feet. The natural lighting is incredible, and the interior design is absolutely breathtaking.

"Don't you want to go see it for yourself?

"Eleanor has been staying with Mira lately, and she refuses to come back to the family estate. Wouldn't you love to move in with them for a while?"

"Sera, I know you mean well, but things between Mira and me...

"You know how it is. The damage is permanently done."

"Oh, please! You two are blood. There's no such thing as an unforgivable grudge between a mother and daughter.

"Mira was just lashing out before, but it's been so long now. I'm sure she's cooled off.

"If you just reach out again, she will definitely welcome you back with open arms."

Sera squeezed Lacey's hands, her eyes wide with innocent encouragement.

"Do you really think so?"

Lacey felt the desperate, long-buried hope flare up inside her chest once again.

"Would Mira actually accept me?"

"I swear it. The last time we spoke, she secretly admitted how much she missed her mother."

"Sera, did she honestly say that?"

Lacey's eyes sparkled with renewed desperation.

Sera nodded vigorously. "Every word of it."

Lawrence interjected smoothly, playing the voice of reason. "Sera, don't give her false hope. What if Lacey goes there and Mira turns her away again?

"Remember the last time she made a scene at the campus gates? Mira completely ignored her."

"Ugh, why are you two doubting me?
