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

Chapter 126
About ten minutes later, Zach ladled out the spaghetti onto the plates and
brought them to the table. “Give it a taste. Let me know if it's okay.”
Mirabella picked up a fork and after just one bite, she looked up with a mouthful
and mumbled, “Tastes pretty good.”
Zach sat down beside her, arching an eyebrow with pride. “Well, of course. I've
been cooking since I was eight, you know.” That meant he had a good fifteen
years of culinary experience under his belt. He was a veritable veteran.
At his words, Mirabella fell into thought. When she was eight, hadn't she
accidentally blown up her family’s potion lab a few times?
“By the way, at the hospital yesterday, after you went to the restroom, Catherine
asked me to take care of you. Something felt off about it then, and I meant to talk
to you, but it totally slipped my mind.” Zach smiled apologetically. “I had no idea
Catherine planned on leaving. If I had been more attentive yesterday, maybe
today’s drama wouldn't have unfolded.”
Mirabella paused, looking at Zach, who had a hint of guilt on his face. Her voice
was calm, “Zach, you shouldn't blame yourself. Even without what happened
yesterday, today's events. would have happened eventually. She never really
settled in here. It's probably for the best that she’s gone back to her roots.”
Zach gave a wry smile and shook his head. “I was supposed to be the one
comforting you, but here you are, making me feel better.”
Mirabella just smiled and went back to her spaghetti. When Zach watched his
sister, quietly eating, his heart was filled a mix of emotions. Even when facing
Emmitt's questions earlier, she had not shown a hint of panic, and she was as
composed as an adult. If Summer had been in her shoes, it would have been a
flood of tears and grievance, and that was not even considering the whole thing
was a misunderstanding.
They say the squeaky wheel gets the grease. With Mirabella’s quiet, stubborn
nature, it was no wonder she sometimes got the short end of the stick. He sighed
silently and shifted the conversation to lighter topics, carefully avoiding any
mention of Emmitt.
The next afternoon, after the last of the exams, Mirabella stepped out of the
exam hall to find Summer waiting in the corridor.
“Can we talk?” Summer asked. Her face betrayed no particular emotion, although
her voice carried a condescending note.
Mirabella lazily lifted her eyelids. Her tone was clearly impatient. “I'm busy.”
Summer's eyes narrowed, and she turned to follow. “No matter what, you're part
of the Davis family now. You should leave my grandmother's affairs alone. It's for
the best for you, for the

Gilbert family, and for the Davis family. You don’t want to stir up
misunderstandings and unhappiness again because of you, right?”
Mirabella stopped in her tracks, glanced at her coldly. “Are you trying to teach me
how to live. my life?”
