About ten minutes later, Zach ladled out the spaghetti onto the plates and brought them to the table. “Give it a

taste. Letknow if it's okay.”

Mirabella picked up a fork and after just one bite, she looked up with a mouthful and mumbled, “Tastes pretty

good.”

Zach sat down beside her, arching an eyebrow with pride. “Well, of course. I've been cooking since | was eight,

you know.” That meant he had a good fifteen years of culinary experience under his belt. He was a veritable

veteran.

At his words, Mirabella fell into thought. When she was eight, hadn't she accidentally blown up her family’s

potion lab a few times?

“By the way, at the hospital yesterday, after you went to the restroom, Catherine askedto take care of you.

Something felt off about it then, and | meant to talk to you, but it totally slipped my mind.” Zach smiled

apologetically. “I had no idea Catherine planned on leaving. If | had been more attentive yesterday, maybe

today’s wouldn't have unfolded.”

Mirabella paused, looking at Zach, who had a hint of guilt on his face. Her voice was calm, “Zach, you shouldn't

blyourself. Even without what happened yesterday, today’s events. would have happened eventually. She

never really settled in here. It's probably for the best that she’s gone back to her roots.”

Zach gave a wry smile and shook his head. “I was supposed to be the one comforting you, but here you are,

makingfeel better.”

Mirabella just smiled and went back to her spaghetti. When Zach watched his sister, quietly eating, his heart was

filled a mix of emotions. Even when facing Emmitt’s questions earlier, she had not shown a hint of panic, and she

was as composed as an adult. If Summer had been in her shoes, it would have been a flood of tears and

grievance, and that was not even considering the whole thing was a misunderstanding.

They say the squeaky wheel gets the grease. With Mirabella’s quiet, stubborn nature, it was no wonder she

sometimes got the short end of the stick. He sighed silently and shifted the conversation to lighter topics,

carefully avoiding any mention of Emmitt.

The next afternoon, after the last of the exams, Mirabella stepped out of the exam hall to find Summer waiting in

the corridor.

“Can we talk?” Summer asked. Her face betrayed no particular emotion, although her voice carried a

condescending note.

Mirabella lazily lifted her eyelids. Her tone was clearly impatient. “I'm busy.”

Summer's eyes narrowed, and she turned to follow. “No matter what, you're part of the Davis family now. You

should leave my grandmother's affairs alone. It’s for the best for you, for the

Gilbert family, and for the Davis family. You don’t want to stir up misunderstandings and unhappiness again

because of you, right?”

Mirabella stopped in her tracks, glanced at her coldly. “Are you trying to teachhow to live. my life?”

That look took Summer aback, but she quickly regained her composure and said icily, “I'm just telling you not to

be too greedy.”

A playful smirk crossed Mirabella’s lips. “That's a fresh take.” She chuckled softly and continued walking without

looking back.

Frowning, Summer watched her go and didn’t pursue further. She suddenly remembered the odd tone in

Emmitt’s voice during their call the previous night. After a moment of contemplation, she turned and headed

down another staircase.

Back in the Prodigy Class classroom, Summer pulled out her phone from her desk and typed out a text message

to send to Emmitt.
