The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 129

Summer opened her mouth to speak, but Aiden cut her off with a dismissive chuckle, “What could she possibly be up to? A date, obviously.”

With a carefree swagger, Aiden strolled into the living room, collapsing onto the couch with a languid sprawl.

“A date? What date?” Colton straightened up. His smile vanished in an instant as he squinted at his daughter, his interest clearly aroused.

Summer’s flash of irritation was quickly masked as she hurried to explain, “No, nothing like that. Just had dinner with a friend. That’s why I got home a bit late.”

Colton had always disapproved of Summer wasting time on frivolities, only showing her affection because of the pride she brought him in public.

“Pff, must be a boyfriend,” Aiden said, with a smirk playing on his lips. Then he raised an eyebrow, adding, “I saw it all from upstairs.”

Summer shot Aiden an icy look. “Don’t talk like that in front of Dad. It’s not any boyfriend. It’s Emmitt from the Davis family where I used to live.”

“Yeah, right. You’re not even related, so who knows?” Aiden blurted out without a filter.

Summer’s face soured, but with Colton present, she couldn’t lash out at Aiden. Instead, she retorted with barely concealed anger, “You’re my brother. Do you have to be so unpleasant?”

Aiden snorted and reclined on the sofa, propping his feet up on the backrest. “Oh, please. I don’t have a sister like you. Remember how you looked down on the Davis family when you first came back? And now, after six months, you treat them like they’re gold. Wow, you change faces faster than a character in a play.”

Summer’s expression stiffened.
