Chapter 230
Mirabella propped her chin in her hand, waiting with the patience of a saint until finally, her phone pinged with Leo’s reply.
Leo: [Suddenly remembered I have nothing urgent to say.]
That was it? After all that typing?
Mirabella sent back a question mark.
Leo: [Aren’t you about to head to class? I won’t keep you any longer.]
Mirabella put her phone away but couldn’t shake the feeling that Leo was being unusually dodgy today.
After school, Mirabella hadn’t even reached the gates when her phone buzzed in her pocket. She pulled it out. It was Leo calling.
She quickly hit the answer button, “…I’ll be out in two minutes.”
“Is someone from your family picking you up today?” Jenna asked casually as they walked together. Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
Mirabetta tucked her phone back into her coat pocket. “Yeah, my brother.”
At that, Jenna glanced at Mirabella’s breathtaking profile and couldn’t help but stroke her chin. “Then he must be quite the looker, too!”
Mirabella raised an eyebrow, giving her a sidelong glance. “Naturally.” With that, she continued forward.
Jenna blinked, suddenly feeling slighted. Was she being teased for not having a brother?
Hurrying to catch up. Jenna was curious to see what Mirabella’s brother looked like.
Soon, they stepped out of the school. Jenna scanned the area, and when her eyes landed on a figure wrapped up tight from head to toe at the curb, she couldn’t help but tsk. “People these days really have some bizarre fashion sense.”
Mirabella looked over, her lips twitching slightly.
“Queen Mira, where’s your bro?” Jenna prodded.
With a resigned tilt of her chin, Mirabella’s gaze landed on Jenna’s so–called ‘bizarre‘ figure. Following Mirabella’s gaze, Jenna’s mouth dropped open like she was catching flies. It took her a moment to stutter out, “No way… that’s your brother?”
How could Mira, the epitome of finesse have such an eccentric brother? Something seemed
Mirabella cleared her throat. Leo wasn’t famous, but she couldn’t let his high–profile disguise be mocked. She approached Leo and casually threw back at Jenna, “Yep, that’s my bro.”
Jenna was gobsmacked. Awkward. Driven by curiosity, she followed.
“Leo.” Mirabella called softly as she neared.
Leo, absorbed in his phone, looked up instinctively at the sound of his sister’s voice. “You were quick.”
His face was shielded with the essential sunglasses and mask. After speaking, he adjusted the sunglasses on his nose.
“Yeah.” Mirabella nodded.
Then Leo’s attention shifted to Jenna, pausing briefly before asking politely. “Is this your classmate?”
“Yeah, my friend, Jenna,” Mirabella introduced succinctly.
Given that his sister was introducing a classmate, Leo figured she must’ve been a good friend. He took off his sunglasses, revealing deep, alluring eyes that sparkled like stars, and nodded slightly at Jenna. “Hello.”
Leo had that cool aura about him that made an impression even when only his eyes and forehead were visible.
Jenna nearly gaped, but regaining her composure, she nodded shyly and spoke in a hushed voice, “Hi, hi there!”
Goodness, this was no eccentric; he was downright enchanting. No wonder he was so covered

But somehow, Mira’s brother looked familiar to Jenna. Had she seen him somewhere before? She scratched her head, trying to place him, but the memory eluded her.
