The Double ( or More ?) Life of The Fake Heiress

Chapter 51

Grandma Catherine watched as James remained silent, with a bittersweet smile tugging at her lips. She spoke again, and her voice trailed off into the quiet room. “Mira brought over a bunch of groceries to see me first thing this morning. Only, she didn’t expect to run into her foster mother… My daughter’s always been harsh, never had a soft spot for Mira. She said some really hurtful things, so the poor child didn’t even stay for a full hour before my daughter drove her away.”

“She must’ve been angry, and that’s why she didn’t come herself.” Tears welled up in Grandma Catherine’s eyes as she clung to James‘ arm, refusing to let go as if releasing him would mean losing the only listener she had left.

James observed Catherine, who was sinking into a pit of guilt, and pieced together the events. No wonder Mira had asked him to deliver the package.
