The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 179

Before long, Leo's minivan rolled up to the curb. Spacious enough for a small crowd, it easily accommodated everyone.

Mirabella hopped in first while Zach and Collins stowed the luggage at the back. Leo hesitated for a moment before climbing aboard, sliding into the seat right beside Mirabella.

Zach, returning from the trunk, caught sight of Mirabella, with Leo now occupying the prime spot next to her. He shot Leo a sidelong glance.

Jeez, what a sneaky guy!

A bewildered Leo, on the receiving end of an unexpected glare, thought, "What the...?"

Collins had witnessed the whole exchange. He shook his head and settled into the passenger seat.

The vehicle soon left the airport, cruising towards the Davis family's suburban enclave. Once inside, Leo removed his mask. He was known for his cool demeanor and wasn't much of a talker. His previous encounter with Mirabella had been brief, just a dinner, but his first impression wasn't too shabby.

Now, his hands rested on his knees, fingers idly caressing the fabric of his jeans. His peripheral vision occasionally caught Mirabella's presence. He wanted to strike up a conversation but couldn't quite find the words.

Zach, meanwhile, wasn't in the mood for chit-chat either. Having been abroad for days, he had a backlog of company matters to sort through and was busy texting his assistant.

Mirabella felt Leo's stealthy glances and let her eyelids droop slightly before casually turning to look at him. She noticed his pallor, which hinted at a certain unwellness, a touch of sickness perhaps?

Her brow furrowed as her gaze accidentally swept over his hand resting on his knee. The faded needle marks were still discernible.
