Chapter 231

Just then, Mirabella turned her head to Jenna and casually said, “You're headed to the hospital, right? Need a

lift?”

Jenna snapped back to reality, shaking her head with a dismissive wave. “No, it's alright, don’t worry about me.”

Mirabella didn’t press the issue. Soon enough, she and Leo got into the car.

Jenna stood there, lost in thought, as she watched the car disappear in the distance, still trying to pinpoint where

she had seen Mira’s brother before.

Inside the car, Mirabella sat in the passenger seat, turning to look at Leo, who was behind the wheel. “Leo, what

was it you wanted to tellover lunch?” she inquired.

Leo’s grip on the steering wheel tightened subconsciously before he forced a nonchalant shake of his head. “Oh,

it was nothing. Just a small thing.” Weird, he always got this inexplicable. surge of nerves around his sister. What

was up with that?

Mirabella arched an eyebrow, seeing right through him. “You seem tense: It doesn’t seem like just a small thing

to me.”

At her words, Leo straightened up, denying, “Tense? No, not at all.”

Mirabella simply smiled, saying nothing.

Leo cleared his throat, about to spill the beans about the variety show, when his phone rang. Glancing at the

caller ID, he grabbed the Bluetooth headset beside him and put it on.

“Hey, Emmitt... You're over at my place? Alright, I'll be there soon.”

While he talked on the phone, Mirabella turned her gaze to the window, her eyes taking on a distant haze.

After Leo hung up, he looked at Mirabella and suggested, “Emmitt needsfor something. He's waiting at my

place. Let's swing by: you've never seen where | live anyway.” He was clueless about the misunderstanding

between Emmitt and Mirabella.

Mirabella’s expression remained neutral, her fingers idly tapping on her thigh. She didn’t object and just

hummed in agreement.

Traffic was a bit heavy, and it took nearly fifty minutes to get back to Leo's place.

Emmitt didn’t have a key, so he waited outside the villa in his car. When he saw Leo's car pull. up with the figure

of Mirabella in the passenger seat, his hand stalled on the car door.

Ever since the last mix-up over Catherine, he hadn't set foot in the Davis family hand had

yet to apologize to her. He was too proud to lower his guard and unsure of how to face her.

Now, seeing her with Leo, Emmitt felt a tangle of emotions. After sitting quietly for a moment. he finally stepped

out of the car.

On the other side, Leo swiped his card, and the villa’s gates swung open. He then drove the car into the garage.

Mirabella got out and looked at the modern minimalist two-story villa before her, an eyebrow raised in surprise.

Was Leo really just an obscure singer? It hardly seemed likely.

At that moment, Emmitt walked in. Noticing someone behind her, Mirabella’s delicate face showed little change

as she turned and greeted him with a cool. “Emmitt.”

Emmitt, detecting the chill in her voice, paused before responding with a muted hum. Feeling awkward, he

glanced at her briefly before shifting his gaze away. The air was briefly thick with discomfort.

That was when Leo, having parked the car, joined them. He sensed the odd atmosphere but didn’t dwell on it. He

nodded to Emmitt with a slight purse of the lips. “Got caught in straffic. Have you been waiting long.

Emmitt?”
