The Double or more Life of the Fake Heiress (Mirabella) novel Chapter 548

Delilah was far less animated than her husband. "Since Zach's already paying a visit, it wouldn't look good for you to barge in now. Just leave them be."

Shawn shook his head, saying, "You don't understand." It wasn't just a simple matter of seeing a tutor.

Delilah shot him a sideways glance. "Let's eat, and no funny business, alright?"

Shawn bit his lip and dropped the subject.

Mirabella observed Shawn and her mother talking and, for some reason, felt like she was being force-fed some PDA.

Before long, the three of them finished dinner.

Mirabella thought about heading upstairs but, checking the time, decided to pull out her phone and tap open Messenger. She shot a message to Zach, [Zach?]

At that moment, Zach, who was in the neighboring villa, heard his Messenger notification and took a quick glance at his phone. Without replying, he tucked it back into his pocket.

He cleared his throat and focused back on James, whose face was so unfairly handsome it was almost criminal. Zach could only think of two words to describe him.

Pretty boy.

"So, Mr. James, which school are you gracing with your teaching presence at the moment?" Zach asked, sitting with an air of authority on the couch, his legs crossed at the knee.

James, ever the gentleman, kept a polite smile on his lips. "I'm currently on a sabbatical," he replied with a relaxed tone.

"Unemployed, are you?" Zach adjusted his glasses, appearing mild-mannered, though his words were blunt.
