Christine patted Miranda's back with a wrinkled yet tender hand. Her heart slowly softened. "Hush, now. You're already all grown up, yet you're still a crybaby. How embarrassing is that?"Paul watched the entire situation quietly. When Christine and Miranda hugged and made peace with each other, he
Paul kept quiet. To him, food was merely something he needed to replenish his energy. It didn't matter how it tasted. "I'm done washing the vegetables."Miranda took a glance at them. The washed red bell peppers and lettuce were arranged nicely together. It was evident that Paul was a neat freak."W
"I'm too busy for this nonsense.""What? Nonsense? You're the one at fault here! How can you be such a miser? Don't you know misers are as despicable as rats in the gutters?""Go to someone else if you're going to act all crazy." Hansel wondered what the hell she was talking about.Tina couldn't car
After that, Hansel got into his car and sped off.Pissed, Winter stomped her feet. She burst out in anger, scolding, "Look at him! What a jerk! Scumbag! A piece of trash! How frustrating!"She grabbed Marshall's collar. "I'm telling you, Mimi will never, ever return to him this time. Never!"Marshal
"I don't want to." Ingrid shook her head. Immediately after, she stood on her tiptoes, blushing. "I want to be with you for a while longer."Before she could lean closer, Hansel asserted his dominance and wrapped an arm around her waist. Then, he kissed her fiercely.The onlookers inhaled sharply, a
At that moment, she felt as if her then-muddled life had reconciled with her now-enlightened self. She felt complete.She worked on it until dawn broke. Staring at her completed thesis, she decided to seize the moment and submitted it to "Science".It was one of the top three academic journals world
In a marriage of convenience among the rich, it was common for the man to have a few mistresses. As long as it didn't affect the wife's status, it didn't matter if they did.As a mother, Evelyn wouldn't interfere in such matters. Her words today could be considered a promise to Miranda.She expected
Miranda had finally left that scum. She should never return to that jerk.Miranda shook her head. "No, I didn't.""Thank goodness." Winter sighed in relief. "Oh, right. Are you free tonight? I need your help."…After meeting the college's higher-ups, Tina was full of smiles as everything had gone a
By the end, Yolanda was nearly shouting. Alex met her gaze directly and shattered her denial with the calmest tone he could muster, "The DNA test report confirmed it. He is indeed my son.""You… you…" Yolanda couldn't even form a coherent sentence. It took her a long time to steady herself. She to
Alex staggered backward in shock. Yale blurted out, "Damn! Alex, you're really something. You pulled a two-for-one special! Heh…" Before he could finish laughing, Alex shot him a freezing glare that instantly shut him up. Felix first glanced at Susan, then at Alex who looked completely dumbfounded
Esme had always taken pride in the fact that her children inherited her high intelligence. However, Reginald joked, "Maybe they got it from their father?"Esme refused to admit the possibility, but curiosity had taken root. Thus, she hired an international private investigator. Six months later, he
Esme was sincerely apologetic.Over the years, she had felt quite guilty toward that man. She had taken advantage of him. She was the irresponsible one. However, she had no choice back then… Either she died, or he lost his innocence. And as the saying went, better him than her. He just happened t
Esme fell silent for a moment. Suddenly, she lifted her head and studied Alex's face. She took him in from his eyebrows, his eyes, and his nose. Then, she inspected his mouth, jawline, neck, and the slight movement of his Adam's apple.She scrutinized his features seriously and carefully, taking in
Alex was taken aback.For a moment, it felt like time had frozen in the lounge. No one moved. No one spoke. Felix was the first to react. He cleared his throat and said, "Invite her to come up." Then, after a brief pause, he added, "Be polite.""Yes, sir," the assistant replied before turning to le
"But the problem now is that we are not sure, and we don't want to make a mistake," Felix said. "That's why we need further confirmation. Like you said, the fastest way is to do a paternity test, but that takes time. "If you have a DNA test report with you that can confirm your relationship with on
Alex laughed in exasperation and asked, "Is it good?"Austin nodded. "It's okay. Not as sweet as the ones we grow in our estate.""Do you even have an estate?""Yeah. Why?"Alex was about to respond when the door opened from the outside. The next second, Felix and Susan stepped into the lounge. Yal
