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

Chapter 169
The middle-aged man caught the expressionless look on James* striking face as
he stood up and shuddered with realization. He had been too rash, too
confrontational for a moment. Crossing a young girl might slide, but crossing
James... The middle-aged man couldn't help but shiver, regretting why he had
gotten into a petty argument with Mirabella in the first place
Before James could even speak, the man glanced at Mirabella and quickly
followed her lead, saying, “The young lady is right. It's all a matter of personal
opinion and personal taste. I apologize for my earlier tactless remarks, James.
Please, don't be upset.”
Mirabella sighed inwardly, noticing the man’s overly cautious demeanor. It was all
because she had been too slick with her words. Then, she reached for the soup
spoon and brought James* bowl closer, adding another spoonful, saying casually,
“Have some more soup.” With that, she handed the bowl over to him.
James' gaze fell on Mirabella’s face, and her pretty, almond-shaped eyes
playfully blinked. Her casual demeanor somehow diffused the awkward
atmosphere.
In the end, James accepted the soup she offered. Mirabella raised her eyebrows
in
satisfaction.
Wyatt, standing
at the side, discreetly stepped back. He thought that Mirabella really had the
magic touch the tension had dissipated just like that.
The middle-aged man felt his heart relax as James took the soup. He was
grateful that their exchange hadn't resulted in a blow-up.
At that moment, Knox, who had been supported by the middle-aged man,
seemed to finally snap out of his daze from Mirabella’s words. He stared at her
with intense excitement in his eyes. “I've studied pharmacology for sixty years,
yet I've been stuck in a blind spot and convinced that only culinary dishes
prepared with rare medicinal ingredients could be considered true food therapy...
How old-fashioned I've been,” Knox said, his face flushing with embarrassment.
“Young lady, thank you for your enlightening words.” Then, he pushed the
middle-aged man’s hand away and bowed deeply to Mirabella.
The middle-aged man was shoved aside and stood petrified. His face was
etched with shock as he watched Knox.
Knox was actually thanking a girl barely in her late teens. Hadn't he been
rendered speechless by her just a moment ago? Now, it seemed as if he had an
epiphany. He appeared not only unangered but delighted.
Mirabella herself was taken aback by Knox's sudden show of gratitude. After
pausing for a second, she stood up and said calmly, “There's no need for that. I
merely spoke my mind. It wasn't anything profound.”
Knox glanced at the bowl of soup on the table and chuckled bitterly. “I've always
felt that my new dish was missing something. I tried every fancy ingredient fit for
consumption, but I
