The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 390

Mirabella descended the stairs. She finished her chicken soup and readied herself to head home.

"I'll walk you," James offered, standing up.

Just as Mirabella was about to decline, Wyatt interjected, "Boss, you should still be recovering. Let me escort Ms. Mirabella instead."

James merely cast a casual glance at Wyatt. Was this what they called being attentive?

Feeling an inexplicable dangerous chill, Wyatt shivered.

Without a word, James slowly made his way to the front door, his upright posture belying any sign of weakness. Wyatt stroked his chin, conceding he may have misspoken.

Mirabella, casting a glance at James' retreating figure, said nothing more and proceeded outside.

She had told her brother, Zach, she'd be back soon, and now, nearly two hours later, she could only imagine the nagging that awaited her.

When Mirabella and James stepped outside the mansion, they were greeted by the sight of Zach waiting under the streetlight. Pressing her fingers to her temples, Mirabella had anticipated this.

James, noticing Zach from a distance, narrowed his eyes slightly before turning to Mirabella. "Is he waiting for you?"

Mirabella nodded and whispered, "My brother, Zach."

James' expression revealed no surprise. He pondered for a moment before stepping beside Mirabella as they approached Zach.

As they drew near, Mirabella called out with a hint of exasperation, "Zach."

Zach hummed in response, his gaze quickly shifting to James.
