Her daughter’s insterest about her brother was a rare occurrence, and Delilah answered calmly and unhurriedly. “He’s a lawyer, sweetie, the kind who fights for unfortunate people in court.”
At this revelation, Mirabella’s preconception that ‘all her brothers were just living off their parents‘ was once again toppled.
“Zach’s been on a business trip lately, but you’ll see him in just a bit.” Shawn added quickly. concerned Mirabella might think Zach was intentionally not coming to see her.
With a soft hum of acknowledgment, Mirabella’s face maintained its usual well–behaved.
appearance.
About twenty minutes later, just as the waiter had delivered a table full of a lavish seafood. feast, Zach arrived.
Zach had a reserved appearance, with captivating eyes behind rimless glasses perched on a prominent nose, giving him both a scholarly and sharp look, quite the elite lawyer’s aura.
As soon as he entered the private dining room, he greeted Delilah and Shawn, and then his gaze landed on Mirabella, showing a flash of surprise upon seeing her.
The little girl seemed to embody all the best qualities from her parents. She carried herself with a gracious charm and sat there quietly. She exuded sophistication, showing no traces of the anticipated small–town simplicity. She was drastically and unexpectedly different from the girl in the photo he had received from her on Messenger.
After a few seconds of contemplation, Zach walked over, pulled out the chair beside Mirabella, sat down, and introduced himself formally, “Mira, I’m your brother, Zach.”
Mirabella met his gaze with clear eyes, her voice steady and calm, “Hi, Zach.”

Then Zach remembered his sister was still a student and didn’t push the issue. He pondered for a moment before taking out his phone, opening an app, and saying. “Well, I’ll send you a little something for now. You can pick out a gift when you have more time.”

Was twenty thousand- little? Really?

Rubbing her temples, Mirabella realized this impulsive transferring money behavior ran in the family.
Noticing her complex expression, Zach stroked his chin, thinking that perhaps twenty thousand was indeed a bit stingy. He reached into his pocket, pulled out his wallet, and took out a credit card. “Take this card as well,” he said, sliding it across the table. “You can use it to buy whatever you like. The PIN is…” and with that, he laid the card down next to her.
Mirabella was speechless. That feeling of accidentally stepping into a high–society drama was growing ever stronger!
“Don’t forget to use that card too, darling.” Shawn interjected, immediately jumping in as he saw his son whip out the credit card, his calm demeanor faltering.
