Chapter 173
Mirabella’s tutor had a nondescript car with an exceptionally unique license plate.
This made Shawn rub his chin thoughtfully. Could Mirabella’s tutor have a more
intriguing background than he'd first imagined? And besides, wasn't her tutor
supposedly from her hometown? What was he doing here in the city?
Delilah turned around and saw Shawn deep in thought. She playfully tapped him
on the shoulder. “Shawn?”
Snapped out of his reverie, Shawn looked into Mirabella’s face, about to delve
into the details about this mysterious tutor. Yet, he hesitated, fearing his daughter
might misinterpret his concern. He instead changed the subject. “Your mom's
right. We should definitely invite your tutor over for dinner sometime.”
Mirabella waved her hand dismissively with a noncommittal “Hmm,” then,
clutching the bag of fruit, she headed into the apartment complex.
Soon, the three of them were ascending the stairs, one after the other. Once
inside, Mirabella handed the box of coffee beans James had given her to her
father. “This is for you.”
The coffee was exquisitely packaged in a paper wrap. Holding the package,
Shawn began to unwrap it while asking, “What's this?”
“Coffee beans,” Mirabella responded tersely before moving to the fridge to stow
away the fruit.
Remembering how, just a few days ago, his daughter had inquired if he wanted
some new coffee beans, Shawn's eyebrows shot up, and a smile spread across
his face. The wrapping was now fully off. “Ah, my dear girl. You're so thoughtful,
always buying me..." He stopped short before he could finish saying “coffee
beans.’ His voice seemed to hit a pause button.
Shawn had a penchant for coffee, a collector's interest even, and he could tell at
a glance that the beans in his hand was a collector's item. The special seal on
the outer box alone was worth a pretty penny, not to mention the ancient,
yellowing seal stamp on it, indicating the rarity of the coffee beans inside.
Swallowing hard, Shawn suddenly felt apprehensive about opening the box.
Walking out of the kitchen, Mirabella noticed her dad holding the box with a
peculiar expression and couldn't help but ask, “Dad, what's wrong?”
Looking up at his daughter, he pointed at the box. “This coffee...”
“Yes?” Mirabella stepped closer, her gaze falling on the coffee in his hands. “Is
there something wrong with it?”
Shawn noticed her nonchalance; it was as if it were just an ordinary box of coffee
beans. He touched his nose and asked in a hushed tone, “Where did you get
this?"
“It wasn't bought. It was a gift from a friend.”
Shawn's thoughts immediately went to the tutor who had dropped Mirabella off
earlier. He drove a car with a special license plate. “Did your tutor give it to you?”
“Yeah.” Mirabella didn’t hide it and nodded. After a brief pause, she added, “The
beans I gave you last time were also from him.”
Shawn was flabbergasted. “Hold on, sweetheart, wasn’t he just your former
tutor? Why would he give you such expensive coffee?”
It was one thing for a student to give a teacher some gifts, but for a teacher to
give it to a student... that was unfathomable.
