The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 426

Donald raised an eyebrow, his curiosity piqued as he inquired, "What's that incense you've got there? Sandalwood or Agarwood?"

"Sandalwood," Mirabella replied without looking up, setting the incense burner on the low coffee table and flicking her lighter to life, igniting the incense.

As the incense began to burn, a subtle fragrance soon filled the room. On closer whiff, the aromatic afternotes hinted at medicinal herbs, inexplicably comforting to the senses.

Donald was no stranger to the ritual of burning incense, being a connoisseur of top-shelf aromatics himself. Thus, the scent wafting from Mirabella's incense took him by surprise.

"This incense... seems to have a blend of herbs, doesn't it?" After pausing for a couple of seconds and taking another sniff, his astonishment was evident. "This is some quality stuff you've got here."

With a quirk of her eyebrow, Mirabella cast a glance at Donald sprawled on the bed. "Not too shabby in the recognition department, eh? And here you were, playing the country bumpkin. Hmm?"

Donald quietly sipped his broth again before probing, "Where did you get this incense? It’s the most comforting scent I’ve smelled in years."

"Got it online, nine bucks, free shipping. Interested?" Mirabella tossed off the comment casually.

A twitch tugged at the corner of Donald's mouth as he set his bowl on the nightstand, his tone less than amused. "Who are you trying to fool? If that incense is really nine bucks, I'll eat my hat."

"Your hat isn't worth much," Mirabella retorted with a dismissive twist of her lips.

Donald was taken aback. He thought, "Believe it or not. My real identity might just knock your socks off!"
