The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 783

The early morning sun of July wasn't stifling, just a gentle warmth.

Mirabella, with her dog Buster in tow, walked up to the handsome man standing before her. She raised an eyebrow in a casual greeting. "Morning."

"Morning," James replied, his voice crisp. His eyes lingered on Mirabella's face.

Her skin was fair, her features relaxed with a lazy elegance, a stark contrast to the glamorous makeup she had showcased in her Twitter photos the previous night.

James sighed internally, a flicker of disappointment crossing his mind, but he quickly covered it with a smile. "Happy birthday."

Having received his generous gift the night before, Mirabella nodded, her response warm. "Thanks."

Buster was desperately trying to leap towards James, but Mirabella, pressing her temples, pulled the eager dog back, keeping him at bay.

James glanced at Buster. "He's grown quite a bit."

"Probably because he eats so much," Mirabella said, rolling her eyes slightly.

James's lips twitched at her remark.

As they walked along the lakeside, Buster's boundless energy became too much, and Mirabella decided to let him off the leash.

"The final exam results are coming out soon, right?" James asked, casting a sidelong glance at the girl beside him.

"Yeah, tomorrow."

Mirabella's lashes fluttered down, their synchronized steps creating a rhythm of their own as a breeze brushed a stray hair across her lips.

James's fingers twitched, tempted to brush it away, yet he restrained himself, his voice softer. "Decided on a major yet?"

Mirabella lifted her gaze towards the joyfully running Buster. "Yeah."
