The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 1508

James' mother-in-law has a curfew at her house—anyone not home by ten o'clock gets a talking-to. James said this matter-of-factly.

Mirabella's cheeks twitched slightly.

Emily had said this young lady seemed so well-behaved. "Well then, Mira, come over to Marian's place whenever you have time."

She patted Mirabella's hand and did not insist on her staying longer.

James glanced at Emily's gesture. "We should be going then."

Mirabella stood up, nodded to Emily, said goodbye, and followed James out.

As they stepped outside, the cool night air brushed against them, making Mirabella instinctively wrap her coat tighter around herself, somewhat dispelling the effects of the alcohol.

James looked at her. "Cold?"

Mirabella shrugged her shoulders, her voice a bit slurred, "It's alright."

James took off his jacket and draped it over her shoulders. "You'll warm up in the car."

Mirabella looked down. "Oh."

Seeing this, James raised an eyebrow. "You drunk?"

Mirabella quickly lifted her head, her eyes misty but trying to feign sobriety. She cracked a smile, "Joking, how could I be drunk."

James took Mirabella's hand, agreeing with her, "Yeah, you're not drunk."

Mirabella frowned. "I really am not!"

They had reached the car park by now. James opened the passenger door, his hand preventing the door frame from hitting her as she got in.

However, Mirabella, refusing to get in, held onto the door, and her jacket slipped off her shoulders to the ground, seemingly unnoticed by her as she reiterated, "I, am, not, drunk."
