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

Chapter 1582

As Mirabella stepped out of the physics department, the sky outside had taken on a moody gray, signaling that rain was just around the corner. At the school gate, Nick was already there, leaning casually against a post. He was just about to send a text when he spotted Mirabella coming out, so he tucked his phone back into his pocket with a smile.

"Hey, Nick, have you been waiting long?" Mirabella asked as she walked up to him.

Nick, with his fair skin and an air that screamed old-money charm, chuckled softly. "Not really, I just got here myself."

Mirabella nodded, moving towards the curb while fishing out her phone. "I need to send a quick text to... you know, the kid."

By the time they reached the school, a gentle rain had started to fall. As the car rolled to a stop near the entrance, Mirabella noticed a young boy standing awkwardly by the gate. He was caught in the drizzle without an umbrella, his thin school uniform clinging to him as he shivered like a little lost puppy.
