The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 215

After supper, James didn't wait long before he took off with Mirabella. On their way out, they offered Nikolai a lift for good measure.

Vincent rarely came to the family estate these days and had just arrived home when he saw his grandfather, Knox, seeing off some guests. He lingered in the yard for a while, watching the group depart from a distance. For a fleeting moment, he thought he had caught a glimpse of a familiar figure, but by the time he focused, the person was already getting into a car.

Before long, Knox approached him, "Kid, what's gotten into you to drop by today?"

Vincent had already shifted his gaze away, his handsome face as cool as ever. Only when looking at his grandfather, would his eyes soften unconsciously, "Didn't you tell me that you whipped up a couple of new dishes? I'm just here to play guinea pig for your culinary experiments."

Normally, this would have touched Knox, but tonight, he just huffed, "Not necessary. Your palate is only good for eating. You never have any constructive feedback."

As Knox headed inside, he continued, "I've been telling you to learn cooking from me, but all you do is make excuses about solving puzzles. Are puzzles really that enticing?"

The same went for that girl who had sparked his interest in taking on an apprentice, always talking about needing to study. What was with the youth today? Shouldn't they be eager to pick up some practical skills?

Every time Vincent heard Knox's ramblings, his head ached, so he didn't take the bait. Instead, changing the subject, "Grandpa, who were those guests just now?"

Knox raised an eyebrow, giving Vincent a sidelong glance, "Why, you know them?"

Vincent's gaze intensified slightly, "Not really. It's just rare we have visitors, so I was curious."

"Don't be nosy. Some people aren't your business to inquire about," Knox said seriously.

Vincent acknowledged the point, "Understood."

Suddenly, Knox patted his shoulder with a hint of melancholy, "One day, the Mendoza legacy will be in your hands. I might not be around much longer, but I'll set everything up for you. So, for now, enjoy doing what you like."
