The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 764

At that moment, Leo, who’d initially been jealous, found his envy fading away. He walked over, gave the puppy’s head a gentle pat, and then nodded, “You know, my little nephew here is quite the charmer. Zach, you’ve got some real luck.”

Having a "son" before a partner—that’s something else.

Zach looked up and shot Leo a fierce glare.

Leo, pretending not to notice, lifted the puppy out of the box.

Huskies are medium-sized dogs, and even at just over forty days old, this one looked pretty solid. Its deep brown eyes were watery, and its body was plump and cuddly—adorable, really.

Seeing this, Zach tensed up and stepped back, unable to keep up the charade any longer, “Stay away from me!”

“Zach, Mirabella put a lot of thought into this birthday gift. You’re going to break her heart acting like this,” Leo sighed, throwing Zach’s earlier swagger right back at him.

The tables had turned, and the moment was beyond awkward.

As Leo approached, Zach’s fear hit its peak, “I’m warning you, take one more step and I…”

Before he could finish, Leo had already pushed the puppy into his arms.

Zach: “!!!”

“Hold on tight, it’s a gift from your sister!” Leo said calmly, making sure Zach’s stiff hands reluctantly accepted the puppy.

Seeing Zach’s rigid stance, Leo had to turn away to hide his laughter, coughing to cover it up.

Zach was the most cunning in the family, always scheming from the shadows. Seeing him at a loss was oddly satisfying.

So, Leo silently gave Mirabella a thumbs-up; when it came to being sly, his sister took the crown.

No wonder she’d asked him what Zach feared the most.

It was all premeditated.
