Chapter 163
Back in the car, Delilah’s haughty expression had fallen away, replaced by
irritation. “I'm so annoyed What's up with the Gilbert family? They just come up
and demand Mirabella switch schools as if they own the place!”
Shawn turned to look at his fuming wife and couldn't help but laugh. The way you
tossed that check was super cool.”
Delilah shot him a glare, her voice tinged with exasperation. “Is the check toss
really the point? They're accusing Mira of bullying Summer, Mira is so sweet—
natured. How could she possibly bully anyone? This is just absurd!”
Through the time they'd spent together, Delilah had come to understand her
daughter's temperament pretty well. Even when Emmitt misunderstood her, she
couldn't be bothered to engage, her indifference being such that she was more
likely to be bullied than to bully
others.
Shawn was silent for a couple of seconds before he spoke, “I think Summer must
have said something at home; otherwise, the Gilberts wouldn't have come after
us today.”
Delilah frowned, “But to say our girl bullied Summer, I just don't believe it.”
Shawn crossed his arms, “Why don't we just ask Mira when she gets out of her
exam later? That'll clear things up.”
“Right,” Delilah sighed, her thoughts drifting back to Mandy's expression when
she whipped out that check. Turning to her husband, she said with a tinge of
frustration, “Shawn, do you think we've been too low-profile?”
Shawn stroked his chin, eyeing the Santana emblem on the steering wheel, and
for the first time, he found himself agreeing with his wife, “I think so, too.”
Being smacked with a check in public? That was just unbelievable.
An hour later, the competition ended.
Mirabella handed in her paper and walked out of the exam room with her usual
nonchalant grace. Unlike the other students who looked stressed post-exam, her
ease suggested the test had been predictably simple for her.
After a quick stop in the restroom, Mirabella emerged to see a tall, lean young
man standing against a wall in the hallway. He was looking down, allowing only
his profile to be seen.
Mirabella barely glanced at him before looking away, but as she passed by, he
finally raised his head and called out to her in a cool voice. “Mirabella.”
Her stride paused, and she turned, getting a clear view of the boy's handsome,
expressionless face. With a slightly raised eyebrow, she asked, “And you are?”
The boy wasn't upset by her lack of recognition. He smiled slightly, his deep eyes
lighting with a fierce resolve “You're strong. A worthy opponent for me”
“But I won't lose to you in this competition again,” he said confidently, then
formed and wathed
away.
