The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1144

Aaron hesitated for a moment, his mind drifting back to that girl's fierce determination. He clenched his hand by his side and then spoke softly, "Sorry, Mr. Austin, something's come up at home, and I don't think I can make it."

Austin, though a bit let down, didn't push the issue when he saw the troubled look on Aaron's face. He waved it off with a casual, "Alright then."

Aaron let out a sigh of relief. He was genuinely worried that these issues might spiral into unnecessary complications.

After leaving the hospital, Mirabella and James found a cozy spot to grab a bite. Once they finished dinner, they headed back to their neighborhood.

As they neared Mirabella's place, they noticed a car parked outside, with someone standing beside it.

Mirabella quickly got out and walked over. "Grady, have you been waiting long? Why didn't you come inside?" she asked, surprised.

Grady glanced behind her before shaking his head. "Not really. You called me earlier; is something up?"

Mirabella hadn't expected Grady to come by in person. After a pause, she said, "The Cunningham family reached out for some medical advice, but I turned them down."

Grady's face darkened at the mention, recalling the trouble the Cunningham family had caused in the past. "Are they giving you a hard time again?"

No wonder there were rumors about someone trying to undermine the Davis family. That sounded exactly like something the Cunningham family would boast about.

"They don't have that kind of power, so don't worry," Mirabella said with a shrug.

Having seen her resilience since the whole Zach debacle, Grady watched her thoughtfully before saying, "If you ever need anything, just let me know."
