Chapter 548


    Delh was far less animated than her husband. “Since Zactin 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


    Delh shot him a sideways nce. “Let’s eat, and no funny business, alright?*


    Shawn bit his lip and dropped the subject.

    Mirabelle 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.


    Mirabe thought about heading upstairs but, checking the time, decided to pull message to Zach,


    [Zach?


    phone and tap open Messenger. She shot a


    At that moment, Zach, who was in the neighboring vi, heard his Messenger notification and took a


    quick nce 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 rxed tone.


    “Unemployed, are you?” Zach adjusted his sses, appearing mild–mannered, though his words were


    blunt.


    Wyatt and Curtis, who stood not too far off eavesdropping, exchanged knowing looks.


    This future inw has got some nerve, Wyattmented, touching his nose.


    It was clear Zach’s visit wasn’t just social–it was an inspection. It was as if Zach was worried James


    might poach his family’s precious diamond. If only snagging the Davis family’s prize was that easy!


    “And how many brothers does Ms. Mirabe have again?” Curtis asked Wyatt after a moment’s silence.


    Wyatt coughed discreetly, holding up four fingers, “If each brother is anything like this guy… game over.


    I reckon James might as well embrace bachelorhood.”


    Curtis gave him a sidelong nce. “Shut that doom and gloom trap of yours


    Observing the situation in the living room, Wyatt decided to take out his phone and open Messenger.


    Curtis raised an eyebrow and said, “Thinking of messaging Ms. Mirabe?”


    Without looking up, Wyatt typed away and replied, “Yeah. It’s about time for Ms. Mirabe to break the


    ice. Plus, well get to see her reaction”


    Curtis figured the i idea made sense and let him be.


    On Mirabe’s end, she hadn’t received a reply from Zach but was surprised when Wyatt’s message


    popped up. [Ms. Mirabe, need backup.] It read.


    She opened it, her lips twitching, then sent back a question mark.


    Upon receiving it, Wyatt nced once more at Zach’s silhouette in the living room. After a few seconds


    of thought, he didn’t type a response. Instead, he angled his phone and snapped a side shot of Zach,


    looking rather defiant as if he was in the midst of causing trouble.


    Wyatt felt the candid shot was perfect and hit send.
