Chapter 1508

James' mother-in-law has a curfew at her house-anyone not home by ten o'clock gets a talking-to. James said this matter-of-factly.

Mirabella's cheeks twitched slightly.

Emily had said this young lady seemed so well-behaved. "Well then, Mira, come over to Marian's place whenever you have time."

She patted Mirabella's hand and did not insist on her staying longer.

James glanced at Emily's gesture. "We should be going then."

Mirabella stood up, nodded to Emily, said goodbye, and followed James out.

James looked at her. "Cold?"

Mirabella shrugged her shoulders, her voice a bit slurred, "It's alright."

James took off his jacket and draped it over her shoulders. "You'll warm up in the car."
