The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming

Chapter 641 You Never Have to Be Afraid of Her Again

"Even if you two have objections, you'll just have to hold them in. After all, Mrs.

Natalie will be giving a formal toast to you both during the celebration. It would

mean a lot if you prepare a small gift or a heartfelt note in return."

Laura smiled and glanced at Wesley. "I'll listen to you, Sheldon."

She had always loved Wesley. He had been by her side for years, and what they

shared had grown into something deeper than love. It was a bond built through

years of mutual care and quiet endurance.

"Ever since I came back, I've stopped being afraid of Cassie," she said softly.

"Besides, she's vanished. No one knows where she is. I don't think she's coming

back."

She exhaled slowly. "If Cassie were going to return, she would've caused trouble

the moment I stepped into Holden Residence."

"But she hasn't. She never did. And I'm not afraid of her anymore." Her voice was

calm and steady.

She took a breath and looked at Wesley. "Wesley, I admit I wasn't in a good place

before. I shouldn't have let fear make me give you up or give up on everything we

had."

Her eyes reddened. "When I think back now, I really regret it. If you're still willing, I

want to be your wife again."

She finally found the courage to speak her heart. Then she picked up the teacup

in front of her and took a sip.

"The other day, I talked to Sheldon. He made me realize that if I'm not afraid of

Cassie anymore, why should I sacrifice my happiness or the man I love? I just

don't know if you still want me."

As the words left her mouth, the heavy weight that had pressed against her chest

for so long finally eased. She didn't try to guess what Wesley might be thinking or

whether he'd want to get back together.

But just this once, she had chosen to be brave, just as Sheldon had encouraged
