The Double ( or More ?) Life of The Fake Heiress

Chapter 125
Catherine had her little tricks to mask her emotions, and Mirabella knew them all
too well.
Mirabella Idly twirled a lock of damp hair that had fallen over her shoulder. Her
voice was nonchalant. “Look at you, all gutsy now, sneaking back to your
hometown without a peep.”
At that, Catherine chuckled nervously, a hint of fear in her voice. “Well, I wasn't
alone. Mr. James arranged for someone to bring me back.”
Mirabella let out a soft snort. “You just met the guy. What if he tricked you?
Where would I find another grandma like you?”
Catherine felt a sour lump in her throat, suppressing the discomfort as she
whispered, “I know James is a good man.”
“Don't pull a vanishing act on me again, okay? If you want to go somewhere, just
tell me. Do you really think I'd stop you?”
After a brief pause, Mirabella’s gaze softened, and her voice was more serious
than ever. “With me here, no one will ever force you to stay somewhere you don't
like again.”
She knew Mandy had always wanted to move Catherine to the city, but Catherine
was reluctant. If it hadn't been for Mirabella returning to the Davis family,
Catherine probably wouldn't have agreed to move. It was her own selfishness
that made Catherine live unhappily in the city for this time. She wanted to take
care of Catherine for the sake of her body's original owner, but she had
overlooked whether the old lady wanted to be taken care of at all.
Catherine's voice was choked as she hummed in agreement, “If Mandy gives you
trouble again, don’t worry about my feelings. Do what you have to do, and don’t
let yourself be wronged.”
Mirabella spoke flatly. “So, all this heartache of yours is because you overthink
everything.”
Fearing the conversation would weigh on her emotions, Catherine hurriedly said,
“Alright, alright, it's getting late. I'm off to bed.” Without waiting for Mirabella to bid
her goodnight, she hung up the phone.
Mirabella listened to the dial tone, chuckled, shook her head, and set the phone
down. She picked up the hairdryer and continued drying her hair. Soon, there
was a knock at the door.
Mirabella had just finished drying her hair. She swept it back casually and
headed to the door. “Zach?”
Zach stood with his hands behind his back, more scholarly without his usual
frameless glasses. He pressed his lips into a slight smile and asked, “Haven't
had dinner yet, have you?”
Mirabella looked surprised, then nodded.
Zach stepped aside, tilting his chin toward the stairwell. “Come on, I'll whip up
something for you to eat.” After a brief pause, he added, “Emmitt’'s gone. No
need to worry about any awkwardness.”

Without any fuss, Mirabella accepted, “Well, thanks, Zach.”
