The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 864

Nick's destination wasn't far from the restaurant, just a quick ten-minute drive. Before long, he pushed open the door to the private dining room, immediately adopting a more formal demeanor upon spotting Grady—quite the contrast to his usual laid-back self around his sister.

He gave a respectful nod, "Grady."

"Mr. Nick," Grady stood and offered a slight bow before quickly sitting back down.

Nick pulled up a chair next to Mirabella, glancing at her and noting her skin wasn’t sunburnt. Clearly, she had used the sunscreen he gave her. A small smile tugged at his lips.

After a few seconds of observation, Nick remarked, "Half a month of military training and you haven’t lost any weight."

Mirabella gave a little cough. With a personal chef catering to her three meals a day, she was never short of nutrition. "The cafeteria at Prestige College isn't bad," she replied.

Nick raised an eyebrow, his overly pale face showing clear signs of sleep deprivation.

Mirabella grabbed the coffee pot and poured him a cup, giving him a lazy side glance, "Another few sleepless nights?"

Nick took a sip of his coffee, avoiding her eyes, "Just two or three days."

Mirabella smirked, hardly believing him, "Get some rest when you're back."

"Mm," Nick nodded, placing the coffee cup down. He noticed an elegantly wrapped box on the table within arm's reach. Picking it up, he casually asked, "What's this?"

Upon opening the box and seeing the car keys inside, he was visibly taken aback.

Aren't these the keys to Uncle Grady’s prized car? The one he refused to let anyone touch, preferring to keep it as a collector's item rather than letting it be driven.

Nick looked up at Grady, "Grady, you shipped your car back home?"

"Mm," Grady responded softly, wanting to take the keys back but restrained himself in front of Mirabella.
