Chapter 68

In the midst of all this melancholy, there was a faint sense of gratitude.

Miranda knew that even though the original person was gone, if someone died with unresolved feelings, a part of their consciousness might linger in the body.

She couldn't really explain why. After all, the whole time-traveling and soul-swapping thing she experienced was pretty inexplicable too.

Back when Miranda returned to the Hawke family, her biological parents didn't even bother buying her a few new clothes.

When she first came back, Alden and Grace offered to buy her some outfits. But Arabella was quick to jump in, claiming that she had numerous clothes that she never wore, which Miranda could have. "Oh, Mom, I've got tons of clothes I haven't even worn yet. Miranda can just have those. No need to spend extra."

Grace chuckled. "My girl is so thoughtful. Miranda, Bella's clothes are all designer. Since she doesn't wear them, you might as well."

"See how many clothes you have now? Buying all those just to leave them in the closet. Now you're finally sharing them," Alden said, clearly doting on Arabella.

So Miranda ended up with Arabella's hand-me-downs, supposedly high-end clothes.

Arabella tossed them to her like they were old rags and then turned around to ask for new ones, claiming she had given all hers to Miranda.

But Miranda, with her simple, country-grown demeanor from living with the Zade family, didn't suit Arabella's clothes at all.
