The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 353

Zach ignored his sister’s confusion and stepped outside the front door, scanning the street left and right, but there was no sign of any black sedan.

Puzzled, Mirabella touched her nose and turned to face Zach. “Zach, what car, what weird people are you talking about?”

“I saw everything!” Zach huffed, walking back towards her.

“What did you see?” Mirabella paused, then recalling the recent events. She realized what he meant. “Are you talking about the car that dropped me off?”

Zach nodded, “Yeah, and there was a guy!” That was the main point.

After a moment’s thought, he added, “That car must’ve been parked in front of our house for at least ten minutes.”

Well, she didn’t need to guess what Zach had misunderstood. Mirabella spread her hands. Her gaze was clear and direct. “What if I told you it was just a friend? Would you believe me?”

“Of course, I believe what my sister says.” But he wouldn’t put the same trust in anyone else. After all, his sister was so pretty, so charming, so innocent — what if some no-good jerk tried to take advantage of her?

Mirabella nodded, “Good, let’s go back inside.” After saying that, she headed back into the house.

Zach was momentarily stunned. Was that it? No further explanation? He glanced outside one more time, then reluctantly closed the door and followed her in.

Once inside...

“Mira, you are home,” Shawn noted, not as suspicious as his son had been.

“Why are you still up, Dad?” Mirabella asked as she poured herself a glass of water.
