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

Chapter 112
Zach reined in his thoughts and resumed the casual banter with Catherine.
Perhaps because Zach didn't appear as dreadful as Mandy had described, and
his manners and conversation were quite polite, Catherine's floodgates of chatter
seemed to burst open, and she talked his ear off without stopping. Of course, the
bulk of the conversation revolved around Mirabella, with Catherine reliving
memories from her granddaughters childhood right through to her high school
years, growing more animated as she went on.
Mirabella, the subject of the discussion, watched the two engrossed in
conversation—-one speaking with passion and the other listening intently—and
couldn’t help but press a hand to her forehead in mild frustration before standing
up. “I'm going to use the restroom,” she announced.
No sooner had she stepped out than Catherine turned to Zach with a serious
look in her eyes. “I'll be entrusting Mira to your care from now on. The poor child
hasn't had much parental love growing up, but I can see she’s doing well now
with her birth parents,” she said. Her voice held a note of bittersweet
contentment, and for a moment, a shadow of melancholy crossed her face.
Zach's brow furrowed instinctively, sensing something off about Catherine's
words-as if she was saying farewell.

After a brief pause, he spoke up. “The truth is, Mira loves you very much. Even
though she’s back with us now, you'll always be the dearest family in her heart.”
At his words, a warm glow filled Catherine's eyes—Mira was indeed the best
granddaughter in the world.
“You just take care of yourself, ma'am, and don’t overthink things,” Zach
comforted her.
Catherine smiled, indicating she understood.
Before long, Mirabella returned. Glancing outside at the darkening sky, Catherine
began to usher them out. “It's getting late, Mira. You and Zach should head back.
I've got doctors and nurses to look after me. There’s no need to keep me
company. You've got a heavy workload with your senior year studies. Head home
and hit the books.”
Mirabella checked the time. “Should I stay a bit longer?”
Firm in her resolve, Catherine lay back down and pulled the covers over herself.
“No, no, you go home. I'm tired and need some sleep.”
Mirabella sighed in resignation, approached the bed, and gently tucked in the
blanket. “Alright then, rest well. I'll come by after school tomorrow.”
Catherine hummed in acknowledgment.
Mirabella started to leave, then paused and turned back. “Oh, I forgot to mention
that I entered another competition. I'll bring you an international trophy to show
for it soon.”
