The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 530

For a brief moment, Johnny stiffened, his expression frozen as ice. But his ability to adapt was sharp as a tack, and faced with Mirabella's chilly demeanor, he swallowed the pleasantries he'd prepared. "I apologize for the intrusion," he said, his tone stripped of any displeasure and instead laden with sincere contrition.

Under normal circumstances, had anyone else spoken to him that way, he would've told them to hit the road without a second thought. But Mirabella... she was different, someone he couldn't afford to offend.

Delilah and Shawn, standing by, exchanged a look of surprise. From the moment Johnny had walked through their door, the couple sensed that he was no ordinary visitor. Despite his polite attempts to keep it under wraps, he carried an air of authority. It was clear he was someone of importance.

And now, this man was apologizing to their daughter... That was odd, indeed.

Delilah seemed poised to speak, but Shawn gently pressed her hand, giving her a look that said, 'Not now,' and shook his head slightly. She understood and settled back on the couch.

Mirabella didn't notice her parents' exchange of glances, her own gaze still fixed on Johnny. "If you need anything in the future, you can contact me directly."

Johnny caught her drift immediately. She probably didn't appreciate him dropping by and involving her family.

He let out a silent sigh of relief, grateful that he hadn't said too much to the Davis family or revealed anything about the healing matters. Given Owen's delicate situation, the less people knew about his illness, the better.

"I failed to consider. Please don't take it to heart, Ms. Mirabella," he apologized once more, the politeness in his voice unwavering.

"Sure," Mirabella responded lightly, her tone softened by the presence of her attentive mother nearby. She couldn't let her guise of the dutiful daughter slip.
