Chapter 390


    Mirabe descended the stairs. She finished her chicken soup and readied herself to head home.


    Tl walk you, James offered, standing up.


    Just as Mirabe was about to decline, Wyatt interjected, “Boss, you should still be recovering Let me


    escort Ms. Mirabe instead.”


    James merely cast a casual nce at Wyatt. Was this what they called being attentive?


    Feeling an inexplicable dangerous chill, Wyatt shivered.


    Without a word, James slowly made his way to the front door, his upright posture belying any sign of


    weakness. Wyatt stroked his chint, conceding he may have misspoken.


    Mirabe, casting a nce at James‘ retreating figure, said nothing more and proceeded outside.


    She had told her brother, Zach, she’d be back soon, and now, nearly two hourster, she could only


    imagine the nagging that awaited her..


    When Mirabe and James stepped outside the mansion, they were greeted by the sight of Zach


    waiting under the streetlight. Pressing her fingers to her temples, Mirabe had anticipated this.


    James, noticing Zach from a distance, narrowed his eyes slightly before turning to Mirabe. “Is he


    waiting for you?”


    Mirabe nodded and whispered, “My brother, Zach.”


    James‘ expression revealed no surprise. He pondered for a moment before stepping beside Mirabe


    as they approached Zach.


    As they drew near, Mirabe called out with a hint of exasperation, “Zach.”


    Zach hummed in response, his gaze quickly shifting to James.


    The man had a striking appearance and an air of aristocracy. Zach’s eyes narrowed with an instinctive


    sharpness. “Mira, who’s this?”

    “He used to be my tutor,” Mirabe replied smoothly, without batting an eye.


    The corners of James‘ mouth twitched, and he politely nodded at Zach, choosing to ignore the hostility.


    “Hello there.”


    Zach, having heard about this tutor, was taken aback. A tutor in his early twenties? Could that be right?


    Something didn’t quite add up.


    Casting a suspicious nce at his sister and seeing no sign of deceit, Zach greeted James, “Pleased


    to meet you, sir!”


    Hearing Zach’s respectful address, Mirabe covered her face in silent embarrassment, coughed, and


    then turned to her brother. “Alright, Zach, it’s gettingte; we should head home.”


    Zach shot her a look. Now she remembered it waste. However, he didn’t press further, simply


    nodding politely to James before walking home with Mirabe.


    James watched their departing figures with a thoughtful gaze, then turned and re–entered the mansion.


    Zach grew increasingly skeptical at the entrance and turned to Mirabe, who was keying in the gate


    code. “Mira, that guy…”


    entered the fast digit, Mirabe raised her hand to cut him off, her expression quite serious, Dony


    ?D


    Zach was speechless. Who could be so audaciously righteous?


    The gate awung open, and Mirabe stepped inside.


    Zach lingered for a moment, lost in thought, before following her into the yard. Just then, the re of


    headlights approached from behind, causing him to pause and turn around.


    Seeing their mother returning, Zach promptly opened the gate to let the car in.
