The Double ( or More ?) Life of The Fake Heiress

Chapter 216 

Wyatt glanced at Nikolai and blurted out. “Last time…” 

“She’s just an ordinary high school senior.” Before Wyatt could reveal that she was the one who had provided the ‘Incense of Calm, James‘ cool voice wafted from the back seat. Wyatt caught a glimpse of James in the rearview mirror and immediately clamped his mouth shut. 

Nikolai didn’t notice Wyatt’s expression and merely commented, “The girl seems to know her herbs. If she were to study medicine, I reckon she’d have quite the knack for it.” 

James‘ gaze was crisp and thoughtful as he stared out the window. After a long pause, he finally spoke. “Perhaps.” 

Nikolai pondered for a moment before hesitantly making a request, “I have a favor to ask.”

“It’s rare to come across someone with a good understanding of herbal medicine these days. If it’s not too much trouble, James, could you share the young ladies‘ contact details?” 

Nikolai was a bit embarrassed as he made the request. He had wanted to ask back at the Mendoza residence but was wary of provoking Knox’s ire, so he had held back. 

Wyatt, driving, twitched his lips at the request. Was this some grand scene of talent poaching? 

After a brief silence, James said, “I’ll ask her.” 

“Thank you.” 

James took out his phone and sent Mirabella a message on Messenger. 

[Nikolai would like your contact information.] 

It didn’t take long for Mirabella to respond. 

The Pill: [Sure.] 

James looked up at Nikolai sitting in front and asked, “Will Messenger do?” 

Although Nikolai was well advanced in years, he kept up with the times. He was quite adept at using Messenger and immediately responded with a delighted hum, “Just ask her to add me. My Messenger ID is the same as my phone number.” 

James quickly forwarded Nikolai’s phone number to Mirabella. 

The Pill: [Added.] 

Nikolai pulled out his phone, checked for the notification, and swiftly accepted the friend request. He even went the extra mile to send a friendly emoji as a greeting. 

On receiving Nikolai’s emoji, Mirabella couldn’t help but chuckle. Out of courtesy, she sent back an identical emoji. After exchanging a few casual messages, the conversation ended. As she

neared the gated community, Mirabella got out of the car just before passing the local pho shop. 

She grabbed two servings of pho and picked up a cake from the bakery next door, cheerfully carrying her purchases as she walked home. Before long, she opened the door and stepped inside. 

“Sweetheart, you’re back,” Delilah mumbled, her speech muffled by the face mask she wore while lounging on the sofa. 

Shawn was also there, absorbed in the TV show, but when he turned to spot his daughter and the pho and cake in her hands, his eyes lighting up. “Did you bring back a midnight snack for your old man?” 

Mirabella set the spicy soup on the dining table, sparing no feelings as she retorted. “Nope. your figure could do without late–night snacks.” 

She glanced down at Shawn’s round belly. 

That hit a sore spot. 

Looking around the living room and not seeing Leo, Mirabella figured he might be in his room upstairs. She took out her phone and sent him a message on Messenger. 

Leo received the message and soon came downstairs. By then, Mirabella had dished out the two servings of pho, one hot and the other mild. She pushed the mild one towards Leo as he sat down at the table, “Eat up, Leo.” 

“Leo, have you not had dinner?” Delilah peeled off her mask and casually inquired as she stood
