The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 430

After wrapping up her chat on Messenger, Jenna reached for another test paper from the stack on her desk. She had barely filled in a few blanks when something struck her. She scampered down the stairs, her feet pounding a rapid beat against the wooden steps.

Kayla was outside, tending to her rose bushes, the afternoon sun casting a warm glow on her face. She jumped a little as her daughter bolted towards her.

"Mom, how old is my cousin again?" Jenna fixed her sparkling eyes on Kayla, a hint of urgency in her voice.

Kayla paused, a tad thrown off by the sudden question. "Which cousin, honey? We have a whole clan of them."

"Dylan, Mom."

"Let's see, he's either 24 or 25, I think. I can't quite remember." Kayla set down her watering can, curiosity piqued. "Why the sudden interest in Dylan?"

"Twenty-four or five, huh..." Jenna muttered under her breath, seemingly content that he wasn't too old after all. Then she popped another question, "Does he have a girlfriend?"

"Not that I know of." Kayla shook her head, her watering can forgotten. "Jenna, what's all this about? Why are you asking?"

Jenna offered a sheepish grin. "Oh, no reason." She paused for a moment, her eyes darting as if chasing a thought before asking, "What do you think about Mira?"

"You mean Mirabella?" Kayla's face softened as she thought of Mirabella. "She's lovely, smart as a whip, and has a heart of gold. A real catch, that one."

After her moment of reflection, Kayla's gaze returned to Jenna, her expression now laced with exasperation. "Speaking of, have you finished that box of test papers Mirabella gave you? You know, if you don't keep up with your studies, you're no help to me around here."

Jenna was dumbfounded. "Excuse me?"
