Ingrid strode down the stairs in huge steps and darted toward the entrance. She easily found Hansel's car parked by the roadside.He leaned against the front of the car. He wore a cream t-shirt inside his dark grey coat with a pair of sleek black casual pants. It made him look like a student, young
Winter took Miranda's hand and said, "Come on, let's go! I planned everything out before coming. I'll make sure you'll have the time of your life today!"…Right after that, an endless volley of screams continued for almost five minutes. "Save me!"Miranda rubbed her ringing ears. She looked at Wint
After lunch, Winter bought two tickets to an animal show. Excited, she took Miranda to see the dolphins.They followed the crowd to the southwest corner of the theme park, where the animal show hall was. The hall was air-conditioned. Compared to the heat wave outside, it felt like they'd come to hea
"You may enter now."Behind the staff was a curtain that opened to the sides. A slight breeze blew from inside, lifting a corner of the curtain and revealing a pitch-black corridor.From time to time, shrill screams sounded. Winter swallowed and grabbed Miranda's hand, shuffling forward.Miranda had
Soon, Miranda was the only person left in the room.Fortunately, after the alarm had gotten off, the lights became brighter. She took a couple more steps and found a hint diagram.After successfully passing the second room, she heard some noises from a crowd not too far away.Frowning, she looked in
At that moment, the staff's voice came from the entrance. "The route malfunction has been fixed. Please stop pushing and instead move toward the exit in an orderly manner…"With someone managing the crowd, the chaos quickly came to an end.Miranda didn't bother giving Hansel another look before leav
Hansel was in the middle of a candlelit dinner with Ingrid at an upscale restaurant. When he saw the messages, his face fell.Ingrid saw how his expression turned dark all of a sudden. "What's wrong?" she asked cautiously. Biting back his anger, Hansel said nothing. He unlocked his phone and typed
Sam didn't ask further. Smiling, he said, "We just opened a bottle of Burgundy. Do you want a glass?"As he spoke, he filled half a glass and handed it to Hansel.Hansel took a small sip. "Not bad." After a pause, he pretended to ask casually, "Didn't you say Miranda was here earlier? How come I don
Aren couldn't understand it. "Why are you in such a rush? Sam has been single for quite some time, and you've never reacted this strongly before."Of all things, she wanted to set up a blind date."You… you're not sleepwalking, right?" Aren asked cautiously. Fiona turned to glare at him immediately
"Huh? Why didn't I hear Sam start his car? Has he left? Let me take a look…" Aren muttered as he walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and peered out. "I knew it! His car is still there. He didn't leave at all. Could his car be stuck in the snow? That doesn't make sense… It hasn't been snowing long
The night was dark and silent as the heavy snow fell. Inside the estate, Fiona glanced out the window. "Oh, it looks like it's snowing outside," she said. Sam remained indifferent as it snowed every year in Elgerson. To him.. Or rather, snow was nothing special to anyone who grew up in Elgerson.
Aren nodded. "That works too. Sam, you don't need to send them off then. Head home and rest early."Sam remained silent. Before long, a maid came in and reported, "Both boxes have been loaded into Dr. Jefferson's car."Paul bid farewell to the elderly couple. "Mr. and Mrs. Garrison Senior, we'll he
Miranda was completely unaware of what was happening at the chessboard. At that moment, she was sitting on the couch and watching a dating reality show with Fiona. Yes, a dating show. In Fiona's own words, she said, "I just love watching young people fall in love. If I happen to find a couple I li
Since Paul had arrived, Fiona invited everyone to head to the dining room. Sam caught up to him and said dryly, "Dr. Jefferson, you seem quite free today."Paul replied, "It's the end of the year, so both the college and the labs are starting their holiday break. Perhaps the only ones still busy at
Sam brought his laptop to the living room and sat cross-legged in front of the coffee table. The thick wool carpet and the warmth of the heater kept the winter chill at bay. He began working in an orderly manner. From the business department to branding, then over to finance and human resources… E
"Sam is getting better at taking care of others," Fiona teased, chuckling. "When are you going to bring home a granddaughter-in-law for us?"Sam nearly choked on his food and coughed lightly. "Grandma, where did that come from?"Fiona immediately straightened up. "Do you think I'm joking? I'm seriou
After Miranda finished with her drink, Paul took the glass and placed it aside. Exhausted, she lay back down on the bed. Soon, Paul lifted the covers and slid beside her. "By the way," Miranda said, "Grandma asked me to visit the estate tomorrow. Do you have time to come with me?""Tomorrow?" Paul
