The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 799

Just a few days after the big celebration, Mirabella got her acceptance letter from Prestige College. School was starting on September 1, but she needed to report a couple of days early to sort out some paperwork.

Mirabella wasn’t just lounging around, though. She hit the driving school now and then for some casual practice and spent her free time diving into pharmaceutical research.

One afternoon, she got a call from Wyatt, saying he was outside her villa with some medication. But when she stepped outside, it wasn’t Wyatt she saw—it was Curtis.

Curtis handed over a box of medication with a respectful nod. “The ingredients were ready earlier. I planned to mail them, but I was worried they’d get damaged. I had some errands nearby, so I decided to bring them myself, though I’m two days late.”

“Got it. Thanks,” Mirabella said, raising an eyebrow. She glanced towards the neighboring villa. “Where’s James? Hasn’t he come back yet?”

“He’s waiting for you in Riverdale,” Curtis replied, pulling a small velvet box from his pocket and handing it to her. “Oh, and James asked me to give you this gift.”

The box clearly looked like it held jewelry. Mirabella hesitated for a moment, then took it from Curtis.

Curtis nodded again, “I’ll be off then.” His car was parked just a short distance away.

But just as Curtis turned to leave, he hesitated, fidgeting a bit before turning back. “Ms. Mirabella, can I add you on Messenger?”

Ever since he saw Mirabella show off her computer skills, he’d been eager to connect with her but couldn’t find the right moment. Wyatt had been no help, dodging the question every time. Asking James was out of the question—Curtis figured he’d get sent to some remote place before he could even finish asking.

Scratching his head, Curtis added, “I just wanted to ask you some questions about computer decryption.”

“Yeah,” Mirabella arched an eyebrow. “So, why the sudden gift of a necklace?”

James stood by his study window, looking out at the garden, a slight smile on his lips. “When a guy gives a girl a gift, what do you think it means?”

Mirabella leaned back in her chair, phone in hand. “I think you’re trying to mess with me.”

James’s lips twitched slightly.

“Goodnight, sleep well~”
