The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 88

Mirabella had just returned home from the hospital when Emmitt walked through the door. Days had passed since their last falling out, and although the anger had subsided in Emmitt's heart, a certain unease lingered, casting a cool shade over his gaze whenever it landed on his sister.

"Did Leo not come home yesterday?" Emmitt's eyes swept the living room, then turned towards Delilah, who was bustling in the kitchen.

"Yeah, he did, but he left right after dinner. Said he had a flight to Lakewood today to shoot a music video or something. Why the sudden interest? You looking for him?" Delilah eyed him curiously.

At that, Emmitt hummed noncommittally, "No big deal, really. Just haven't seen him in a while and thought he'd stick around the house to rest up."

"I called you yesterday, but you were busy with work." Delilah replied, her voice tinged with annoyance.

Clearing his throat, Emmitt made no reply.

"Aren't you hungry? Lunch will be ready soon. Go and chat with your sister in the living room," Delilah instructed, pausing before adding, "And rein in that temper of yours. Mira is your flesh and blood. Don't always be looking at her through those judgmental glasses."

Emmitt was about to decline the meal, but Delilah's words left him swallowing his protests.
