Chapter 8
With a face like that she could totally slay Hollywood's A-listers, couldn’t she? If
she was not camera-ready, what about those celebs who lived off their good
looks?
Emmitt suddenly felt that his sister, whom he was meeting for the first time... was
a bit weird. What was up with that?
As he was internally rolling his eyes, Mirabella’s voice came through once more.
“But you, you're different too.” Mirabella said with a teasing edge, giving Emmitt a
meaningful look.
Dressed to the nines in a designer suit, his every move exuded an aristocratic
charm that clashed with the rumors of a lackadaisical’ and “poor boy" upbringing.
A playful glint crossed Mirabella’s eyes. Interesting.
Emmitt was about to ask Mirabella what she meant by “different when
something—or someone—caught his eye. His lips curved into an indulgent smile,
and he waved through the air, “Summer.”
Mirabella tilted her head, following his gaze, and spotted a tall woman in a white
sundress approaching at a swift pace. She was wearing sunglasses, making it
impossible to discern her features at first glance.
“Sorry, I'm late, Emmitt. Traffic was a nightmare,” panted Summer, her voice still
catching her breath.
“No worries,” Emmitt shook his head, noting the beads of sweat forming on her
forehead. He pulled out a pack of tissues from his pocket and handed it to her.
Taking the tissues, Summer gracefully removed her sunglasses, hooking them
onto her dress“ neckline, and flashed a sweet smile at Emmitt. “Thanks, Emmitt.”
With a gentle pat on her head, Emmitt's gesture was nothing but affectionate.
Mirabella watched their interaction with a slowly forming smirk. There was no
need to ask outright-she already figured that Summer was the girl she was
switched at birth with at the hospital.
Summer had since been taken in by the Gilbert family and adopted their
surname. She wasn't strikingly beautiful, but she did exude the refined, gentle
demeanor that Mandy, her adoptive mother, had boasted about. The white dress
added an graceful touch to her presence.
Feeling Mirabella's unabashed scrutiny, Summer finally turned her attention to
her as if just realizing she was there. Summer was visibly taken aback.
Mirabella was stunning, with sparkling eyes like the shimmer of a lake and a
casually hooked smile that suggested a mix of mischief and cool detachment.
She was the epitome of effortless charisma.
“Right, this is my sister, Mira.” Emmitt chimed in, nodding towards Mirabella.
Summer's grip tightened on her purse at the words “my sister’ from Emmitt’s lips,
feeling as though something had been taken from her. The smile on her face lost
its earlier ease.
Emmitt, oblivious to Summer’s expression, turned back to Mirabella. “This is...”
“I know,” Mirabella interrupted lazily, glancing at her watch. “Shall we grab some
grub?”
