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

Chapter 88
Mirabella had just returned home from the hospital when Emmitt walked through
the door. Days had passed since their last falling out, and although the anger had
subsided in Emmitt’s heart, a certain unease lingered, casting a cool shade over
his gaze whenever it landed on his
sister.
“Did Leo not come home yesterday?” Emmitt’s eyes swept the living room, then
turned towards Delilah, who was bustling in the kitchen.
“Yeah, he did, but he left right after dinner. Said he had a flight to Lakewood
today to shoot a music video or something. Why the sudden interest? You
looking for him?” Delilah eyed him curiously.
At that, Emmitt hummed noncommittally, “No big deal, really. Just haven't seen
him in a while and thought he'd stick around the house to rest up.”
“I called you yesterday, but you were busy with work.” Delilah replied, her voice
tinged with
annoyance.
Clearing his throat, Emmitt made no reply.
“Aren’t you hungry? Lunch will be ready soon. Go and chat with your sister in the
living room.” Delilah instructed, pausing before adding, “And rein in that temper of
yours. Mira is your flesh and blood. Don’t always be looking at her through those
judgmental glasses.”
Emmitt was about to decline the meal, but Delilah’s words left him swallowing his
protests. Mirabella sat curled up on the couch with a book, her focus undisturbed
even as Emmitt took a seat beside her. He watched her, his expression dimming,
assuming she was intentionally ignoring him. He didn't initiate conversation,
choosing instead to pick up the remote and flick on the TV.
The quiet atmosphere was broken by the sounds of the television. Mirabella
glanced up briefly before returning her attention to the pages before her,
seemingly unaffected by the intrusion.
Emmitt wasn't truly interested in watching TV. It was more about upholding
Delilah’s request without losing dignity by speaking first. So, he flipped through
channels aimlessly, paying no real attention to what was on.
But soon, a variety show caught his attention, halting his restless channel surfing.
Summer, a dynamic pop singer known for her stage presence and central role in
her group, was gracing the screen. Even Emmitt, who seldom watched such
programs, couldn't help but be impressed by his foster sister’s natural charisma.
He settled in to watch.
After the performance, the hosts began interviewing the artists. As the center of
her group, Summer was a focal point of their attention.
“So, our lovely Summer, aside from rehearsals, what do you usually do with your
free time?” the host inquired.
