The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 169

The middle-aged man caught the expressionless look on James' striking face as he stood up and shuddered with realization. He had been too rash, too confrontational for a moment. Crossing a young girl might slide, but crossing James... The middle-aged man couldn't help but shiver, regretting why he had gotten into a petty argument with Mirabella in the first place.

Before James could even speak, the man glanced at Mirabella and quickly followed her lead, saying, "The young lady is right. It's all a matter of personal opinion and personal taste. I apologize for my earlier tactless remarks, James. Please, don't be upset."

Mirabella sighed inwardly, noticing the man's overly cautious demeanor. It was all because she had been too slick with her words. Then, she reached for the soup spoon and brought James' bowl closer, adding another spoonful, saying casually, "Have some more soup." With that, she handed the bowl over to him.

James' gaze fell on Mirabella's face, and her pretty, almond-shaped eyes playfully blinked. Her casual demeanor somehow diffused the awkward atmosphere.

In the end, James accepted the soup she offered. Mirabella raised her eyebrows in satisfaction.

Wyatt, standing at the side, discreetly stepped back. He thought that Mirabella really had the magic touch – the tension had dissipated just like that.

The middle-aged man felt his heart relax as James took the soup. He was grateful that their exchange hadn't resulted in a blow-up.
