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

Wyatt spotted Aiden from a distance and nodded affirmatively, "Alright, I'll make sure he gets home safely."

Mirabella nodded her thanks before getting into the car with James.

Soon, the car departed from the cemetery.

...

Aiden walked out slowly, regretting not bringing any money or his phone, unsure how to get home.

Seeing Wyatt standing by the roadside, Aiden instinctively stopped in his tracks, intimidated by his presence.

Sensing his wariness, Wyatt approached him, "Ms. Mirabella asked me to drive you home."

Aiden, surprised, fidgeted with his fingers, not expecting her to be so kind and blurted out, "...She isn't planning to prank me, is she?"

Wyatt gave Aiden a once-over and laughed, "I don't see anything about you worth pranking."

Aiden: "..."

The comment wasn't hurtful, but it was incredibly insulting.

"Come on, kiddo." Wyatt hailed a taxi and gestured to Aiden.

Aiden hesitated, but considering he had no money, he eventually followed Wyatt into the taxi.

He took it as the mean lady suddenly having a change of heart.

Silvermist Shores Airport wasn't particularly large. When Mirabella and James arrived at the arrivals gate, there were hardly any people waiting.

It was quite empty and cold.

Shawn and his wife's plane hadn't landed yet.

"Why don't you go rest in the car? come over with Uncle Marian once they arrive," James suggested to Mirabella, concerned she might overexert herself. fo

"I'm fine," Mirabella said, her gaze fixed in the distance, "Don't worry about me. I'll be okay."

James sighed softly, knowing her stubbornness, and didn't press further. He led her to a nearby seating area and insisted she sit down.

Then he went back to wait at the arrivals gate.

After about twenty minutes, Shawn and Delilah finally appeared. James waved at them.

The couple was surprised to see James waiting and approached him. Shawn asked, "James, why are you...?"

They had planned to call their daughter after arriving.

James greeted them politely before explaining, "Nick mentioned it, so I thought I'd come pick you up."

"I see," Shawn replied softly, "Thank you, it's much appreciated."

James smiled slightly, "Uncle, please, it's the least I can do."

"How's Mira now?" Delilah asked worriedly.

Before she could finish, Mirabella's voice came from behind her, "Mom."

Delilah turned around swiftly, and upon seeing her daughter's pale, thin face, her

eyes immediately welled up with tears, "My dear, you..."noveldrama

Mirabella managed a smile, "Mom, I'm okay."

Delilah felt a lump in her throat seeing that smile, wiped her tears, and hugged her daughter, "Don't be sad, dear. Everyone faces life and death, and Catherine would have wanted you to be happy."

"I know, mom. Don't worry," Mirabella reassured her, patting Delilah's back. She had managed to control her emotions since leaving the cemetery.

Shawn joined them, placing a gentle hand on his daughter's head, embracing both his wife and daughter in a silent comfort as a father and husband.

This scene was quietly observed by Summer from a distance.
