Too Late to Hold Me Back novel Chapter 892

Owen: *I almost forgot I had a potential rival floating around.*

Honestly, it was Dominic's own fault for not dating anyone right now.

When he had the time, he definitely needed to push that guy into the dating pool, or have someone set him up on a few blind dates.

Wait, there was probably more than one rival. Aethelgard University was bound to be crawling with them. Mira was so incredible; she was definitely being eyed by plenty of guys.

That settled it. Once the semester started, he needed to casually stroll around her campus and aggressively show off their relationship to force those little shrimps to back off.

Mira never dreamed that her casual joke would send Owen spiraling into a protective panic.

"Alright, enough, get some rest. You need to keep your energy up."

"It's New Year's Eve tonight. Let's sleep in the same room?"

Owen looked at her hopefully, his gaze practically begging.

"We can sleep in the same room, but you have to follow the rules, just like when we stayed at the hotel."

"...Never mind, let's sleep in separate rooms."

The frustration was too much to bear.

The next morning, the very first thing Mira and Owen did after waking up was greet Grandma Eleanor, Master Ellis, and Rachel for the new year.

Grandma Eleanor gifted them both flawlessly carved gemstone pendants.

"This was carved from a piece of premium gemstone your great-grandfather acquired years ago. It's cut from the exact same stone as the bracelet I gave you.

I only carved your names into them recently. It's a warm stone, good for your body when worn close to the skin. Mira, why don't you wear that bracelet more often?"

"It's far too precious. I'm afraid I'll accidentally break it."

The truth was, Mira was too busy to have heavy jewelry clinking around on her wrists all day.

"Thank you! I didn't know you carved gems, Grandma Eleanor," Owen said.

"Of course she does. She comes from a legendary family of jewelers. Not only can she carve, but her design skills are second to none," Master Ellis chimed in.
