Mirabella touched the tip of her nose, feeling a sudden rush of vulnerability, as if her secrets were laid bare. But she quickly straightened her back, shaking off the feeling. What was there to be guilty about?
James's lips twitched into a slight smile, but he didn't call her out. He tucked his phone back into his pocket, stood up straight, and said, “Alright, I’ll walk you home.”
Not wanting to make things awkward, Mirabella nodded stiffly and trailed behind him. They walked slowly through the meticulously maintained garden, one after the other. The gentle night breeze caressed their faces, bringing a hint of chill. In October, Riverdale’s nighttime temperatures could be quite different from the daytime.
James held the front door open and let Mirabella go first. But as she passed by, he reached out and grabbed her hand, “Cold?” he asked.
Mirabella, who had been gazing downwards, was taken aback and mumbled, “Hmm?”
James smiled, his hand sliding down to grasp hers, their fingers intertwining, “It must be a bit cold.”
Mirabella was left speechless.
Feeling a sense of satisfaction, James led her outside. A few minutes later, they arrived at her villa. He finally let go of her hand and looked up at the villa, then back at Mirabella, his eyes deep and thoughtful. After a moment, he said, “Go inside. Goodnight.”
Mirabella’s gaze wandered as she coughed softly, “Goodnight.”
She turned around, walked to the door, and entered the code. Just as the door opened, she heard James's voice from behind, “Oh, by the way, Curtis called to say the compensation has already been transferred to your bank account.”
Mirabella stumbled slightly, paused, but didn’t turn back. Instead, she raised her hand and made an OK gesture before stepping inside.
Damn, how did everything get so complicated?
James chuckled softly, shook his head, and walked away.

As soon as Mirabella stepped into the house, she was greeted by the aroma of food. Rubbing her stomach, she walked into the dining room and saw Nick setting the table. She pulled out a chair and sat down.
