The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 125

Catherine had her little tricks to mask her emotions, and Mirabella knew them all too well.

Mirabella Idly twirled a lock of damp hair that had fallen over her shoulder. Her voice was nonchalant. “Look at you, all gutsy now, sneaking back to your hometown without a peep.”

At that, Catherine chuckled nervously, a hint of fear in her voice. “Well, I wasn’t alone. Mr. James arranged for someone to bring me back.”

Mirabella let out a soft snort. “You just met the guy. What if he tricked you? Where would I find another grandma like you?”

Catherine felt a sour lump in her throat, suppressing the discomfort as she whispered, “I know James is a good man.”

“Don’t pull a vanishing act on me again, okay? If you want to go somewhere, just tell me. Do you really think I’d stop you?”

After a brief pause, Mirabella’s gaze softened, and her voice was more serious than ever. “With me here, no one will ever force you to stay somewhere you don’t like again.”

She knew Mandy had always wanted to move Catherine to the city, but Catherine was reluctant. If it hadn’t been for Mirabella returning to the Davis family, Catherine probably wouldn’t have agreed to move. It was her own selfishness that made Catherine live unhappily in the city for this time. She wanted to take care of Catherine for the sake of her body’s original owner, but she had overlooked whether the old lady wanted to be taken care of at all.

Catherine’s voice was choked as she hummed in agreement, “If Mandy gives you trouble again, don’t worry about my feelings. Do what you have to do, and don’t let yourself be wronged.”

Mirabella spoke flatly, “So, all this heartache of yours is because you overthink everything.”

Fearing the conversation would weigh on her emotions, Catherine hurriedly said, “Alright, alright, it’s getting late. I’m off to bed.” Without waiting for Mirabella to bid her goodnight, she hung up the phone.
