Chapter 28
Her gaze was so sincere that it was impossible to mistake her words for anything
but the truth. Such a sensible daughter she had. Delilah couldn't help but silently
chew her eldest son out. The boy must've been blind to accuse his sister of
having a bad temper
“Ahem, glad you're not upset. Your dad said he'll drive you to school tomorrow.
You can sleep in a bit, Delilah said
hastily.
“Okay.”
“Then get some rest early. Don't stay up too late. I'm heading out.” Delilah
advised, then turned to leave.
“Mom, wait a sec.” Mirabella suddenly called her back, then turned and walked
into her room.
In just a moment, Mirabella returned to the doorway, handing Delilah a porcelain
jar. “Take one every three days, and within a month, your migraines should clear
up.”
Delilah, somewhat stunned, took the jar. “This...did this come from a friend of
yours?” She remembered her daughter mentioning something similar a few days
ago, along with a package that had arrived today.
Mirabella gave a noncommittal hum in response.
Holding the jar for some time. Delilah finally smiled and said. “Thank your friend
for me. That's very thoughtful.”
Although the last remedy Mirabella had given her did work wonders, Delilah
didn’t quite believe in a complete cure for her migraines. Nonetheless, it was the
thought that counted, and she appreciated her daughter's concern.
Mirabella could see the skepticism in Delilah’s eyes but just smiled without further
explanation.
The next morning dawned crisp and clear.
Mirabella descended the stairs dressed casually, her long ponytail swishing and
a modest canvas backpack slung her shoulder. Though her look was simple, her
striking, sculpted features lent her an effortlessly cool air.
Delilah watched her daughter with a sense of pride, thinking that while some
people needed clothes to look good. Mirabella made the clothes look good.
Whatever Mirabella wore, she wore with style.
But then-
“Mira, why aren't y
you wearing any of the clothes I bought you? Don’t you like them?” Delilah
asked. Her hands were crossed over her chest, suddenly feeling that the skirts
and dresses she'd chosen might not be quite right for her daughter.
Hearing this, Mirabella quickly explained to prevent another “we can replace them
if you don’t like them’ kind of extravagant offer. “I'm just more comfortable in
pants, and I'll be wearing a uniform at school anyway.”
Delilah considered this and then conceded, “Alright, my bad. I'll pick out some
pants for you next time.”
