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

Chapter 193
After stowing her and Leo's bag away, Mirabella descended the stairs to find Leo
still rooted in the same spot. His normally cool demeanor seemed oddly
endearing compared to Zach's polished appearance. Somehow, Leo came off as
much more charming.
Feeling his sister's gaze, Leo turned to look at her, but by then, she had already
redirected her attention elsewhere. However, the hint of a satisfied smirk at the
corner of her mouth didn’t escape his notice.
Blinking, Leo felt that curious, indescribable sensation creep up inside him once
more.
Unaware of his scrutiny, Mirabella headed to the kitchen and flung open the
refrigerator. With Marian off for the day and Leo not exactly looking like the
culinary type, it seemed the task of preparing dinner would fall to her.
Her phone buzzed in her pocket at that moment. Juggling vegetables in one
hand, Mirabella fished out her phone with the other and saw it was the old man
calling. She hit the speakerphone button. “Dad.”
“Sweetheart, have you made it home yet?” Shawn's cheery voice came through.
“Yeah, just got in,” Mirabella replied, closing the fridge door and then inquired,
“Are you and Mom coming home for dinner tonight?”
“No, darling, your mother and I have a gathering to attend and won't be back
early. Also, I gave Marian the day off. Don't worry about dinner. I've ordered
something special for you. It should be arriving soon, so keep an eye out for the
delivery, will you?”
Leo, who had been pouring himself a glass of water nearby, froze at the sound of
his father’s voice on speakerphone. The phrase “I gave Marian the day off kept
echoing in his head. “Ah, got it,” Mirabella responded, already returning the
untouched vegetables to the fridge.
“Alright then, I'll let you be. Just be careful at home on your own,” Shawn paused,
adding another line as an afterthought, “Don’t open the door for anyone, you
hear? It's not safe, especially at night.”
Mirabella’s face twisted with confusion. Her dad was acting a bit off today; he
never usually made those kinds of remarks. Glancing over at Leo standing just
outside the kitchen, she responded dutifully, “Don’t worry, Dad, Leo's here, too.”
Shawn, who was about to hang up, suddenly turned a shade of green at the
mention of Leo, his disdain coming through loud and clear, “Why is he still
there?”
If Leo had thought the earlier disdain was just his imagination, there was no
denying it now. With his water glass in hand, Leo felt like retreating into a shell.
Watching a clearly bewildered Leo, Mirabella pondered momentarily before
speaking up. “Dad, I'm on speakerphone.”
