The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1475

As the words settled, Zach, who had just closed the trunk of his car, came over to interrupt, “Mom, there’s always the hotel. You worry too much.”

In the past, whenever he tried to get closer to his sister, his parents would find reasons to dislike it. It was so obvious what the Shepherd family's intentions were, yet his parents acted as if they were selectively blind, even welcoming a wolf into their home?

Zach felt extremely discontented.

Delilah merely glanced at Zach, “Zip it.” Then, turning to James with warmth, she said, “Honestly, James, don’t mind the jokes from Zach here.”

Zach: “?”

Couldn’t his own mother give him a bit of dignity?

James offered a smile, politely declining Delilah’s offer, “Thank you, Marian, but I’ve already had the house cleaned.”

Hearing this, Delilah did not insist further, merely suggesting, “Then let’s have dinner before you go back, our homes are close by anyway.”

This time, James did not refuse.

At home, Marian had already prepared dinner. Mirabella had little appetite, merely sitting at the dining table, quietly listening to her parents and brother talk. Even holding her fork, she barely made a move.

Seeing her like this, everyone understood she was feeling down and didn’t force her to eat, instead trying to divert her attention with different topics.

After dinner, James didn’t stay long at the Davis family’s home, leaving after a short while.

Mirabella returned to her room, and when she went to her closet to pick out clothes, she noticed a large cardboard box next to it.

She paused for a second, then placed the clothes back, opening the box.

Inside the box were several thick volumes of classic literature and many tightly wrapped trophies.
