The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 678

The sound of the door creaking open behind her made Mirabella's hand fly to her forehead in an instinctive gesture of exasperation.

"Mirabella, who’s this?"

The newcomer was Nick, his lean face glowing with a gentle warmth, his striking black-and-white eyes immediately locking onto James.

Mirabella sighed inwardly, letting her hand fall as she turned to make introductions with an air of nonchalance, "My friend, James... and my Nick, Nick."

James, holding a gift, had an undeniable aura of aristocracy about him. Even as he tried to appear casual, his inherent nobility was hard to miss. He gave a slight nod to Nick, "Mr. Davis."

Nick and James exchanged a brief, polite nod before Nick, ever courteous, responded, "Nice to meet you."

With her hands clasped behind her back, Mirabella's fingers fidgeted aimlessly. She glanced at Nick, sensing a peculiar tension in his gaze, or maybe it was just her imagination.

Nick stood by the doorway, the door ajar, and although their conversation was in hushed tones, it caught the attention of Shawn and the others in the hospital room.

Shawn, curious about the visitor, made his way to the door and upon seeing James, paused in surprise.

Noticing Shawn's reaction, Mirabella patiently introduced James again, this time as the neighbor next door.

Upon hearing the last name Min, Shawn seemed taken aback, and even more so when Mirabella mentioned the neighborly connection. "You're the tutor Mira’s been raving about!"

The 'tutor' line made James raise an eyebrow, and Mirabella had to cough slightly to cover her awkwardness.

Looks like the tutor story was too deep-rooted now to change.

James straightened up, "Yes, Uncle Shawn, how are you?"

"Ah, very well, thank you... I appreciate the time you've taken to help my daughter, not to mention those exquisite boxes of gourmet coffee you sent," Shawn said gratefully.
