Kiss My Revenge The Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 402

Miranda was a bit taken aback when she saw Elian's name flashing on her phone screen. Their last conversation had been through WhatsApp, and it had been a while since then.

She answered the call just as Sebastian was about to drop her off at her doorstep, but they hadn’t quite said goodbye yet. Noticing her slightly surprised expression as she glanced at her phone, Sebastian’s gaze shifted towards it, as if he had a hunch about who it might be.

"Hello?" Miranda answered.

On the other end, Elian’s voice came through, laced with a barely contained anger. "Where are you?" he demanded, sounding like a guard dog barely restrained by its leash.

Miranda glanced at Sebastian. "I'm at Sebastian's place."

There was a tense silence, followed by the sound of teeth grinding. "What are you doing there?"

Miranda was puzzled. "Getting some treatment."

There was a pause on the other end.

Sebastian smiled, "What’s going on?"

Clearly, he could hear the conversation too.

Miranda shook her head. "Not sure. He sounds upset."

Suddenly, Elian's tone softened dramatically. "I'm not upset."

Miranda blinked. She wasn’t sure who the angry guy from a moment ago was supposed to be.

"I was just asking. Is the treatment done for now?"

Elian’s voice was now completely different, as if talking to an old friend.

"Yes, for now," Miranda replied.

"Are you heading home?" he asked.

Miranda nodded, "Yeah."

"Was staying at his place okay?" Elian asked, his eyes darting to Sebastian.

Miranda answered honestly, "It was fine. Sebastian made sure everything was comfortable."

Sebastian chimed in coolly, "Mr. Ashcroft, there's no need to worry. I had Miranda stay in the room next to mine, so she could easily find me if she needed anything."

Elian's expression shifted instantly.

What? She stayed in the room next door?

He and Miranda had never stayed that close!

Sebastian turned to Miranda with a light chuckle. "I’ll keep your things here for next time, so you don’t feel out of place when you return."

Miranda pondered for a moment. "No need. I probably won’t need to stay over next time. You can just toss what I used."

Elian's lips curled into a subtle smile, his eyebrows lifting slightly.
