The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 483

Asher watched the pair walk away, his gaze lingering until he shook his head, a dazed smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. It was one thing for his old man to have a soft spot for the girl, but Knox, too?

Turning to Vicky, he quirked an eyebrow and asked, “So, are that girl and Knox tight?”

Vicky's gaze was cool, detached. “My mentor’s thinking of taking her on as an apprentice.” His voice was tinged with a frosty edge.

Asher's eyes bulged in disbelief. “You’re saying Knox wants to take her under his wing?”

Vicky wasn’t keen on dwelling on the subject. He just grunted in acknowledgment, but noticing Asher's baffled look, he asked, albeit belatedly, “You know Mirabella?”

Asher hesitated before nodding, then quickly shook his head. “Not exactly. It’s my dad who knows her.” He refrained from mentioning how his father was not Mirabella’s apprentice. It was a bit too much for his pride.

“Hmm.” Vicky checked his watch, clearly done with the conversation. “I need to get back to work. We’ll touch base on pharmacology when I've got a minute.”

Asher nodded and made his way to the main hall.

Meanwhile, Knox ushered Mirabella into the kitchen.

Vincent, clad in a crisp white chef’s coat instead of his school uniform, looked every inch the part as he bustled around the stove. He was oblivious to the new arrivals. It wasn't until he spun around to grab some ingredients that he spotted Mirabella and his grandfather.

His cheeks tinged pink at the sight of Mirabella. He greeted her before turning to his granddad. “Gramps, Mirabella here's a guest. Bringing her into the kitchen isn't quite proper.”
