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
Studying was dull and boring, but Miranda surprisingly found herself used to it.After another day of class, she went home. Rubbing her shoulders, she was planning on having an early night when she unexpectedly received a call from Christine.Christine first asked how her revision was going, so Mira
"You have a good memory. I remember there's a book in this series that specifically talks about genetic testing. How come I can't find it anymore?"Miranda didn't have photographic memory, but she tended to remember key points.She remembered going through this book in the library a couple days ago.
Ingrid had set an alarm for 7:00 am, but she'd had difficulty waking up. At last, she'd realized that she was going to be late, so she and Abigail had had to run over."Which floor?" Miranda asked, giving her a glance.In contrast to Miranda's calmness, Ingrid appeared disheveled after sprinting ove
Ingrid's heart was beating loudly. She took a deep breath before following Hansel inside.She already knew the mansion was huge and bright, but this was still her first time inside after all. The architecture was very modern, and the color scheme mostly consisted of neutrals. It looked low-key, but
"Hmm?" Hansel raised an eyebrow."Would you dare register my fingerprint here?" Ingrid pointed at the electronic lock on the door. She pulled a sad face, looking like a kicked dog. "I've had to wait outside your door a few times. Look, I have three mosquito bites on my arms and another one on my le
Thanks to Solomon's influence, Miranda saw a major improvement in her productivity. Over the course of just one morning, she'd finished two sets of worksheets.When Solomon checked them, she'd scored 95 marks on both of the worksheets, to his surprise.He'd heard that Miranda had graduated three yea
"Miranda, you…" Paul hesitated and was unsure what she was doing.She didn't respond with words. Instead, her actions said it all.She brought a strawberry to his lips, accompanied by the soft warmth of her breath and the faint scent of her perfume.Paul froze, and his body went rigid like a statue.
It turned out that Sam and Miranda really did have a "close relationship", but it was a different kind of relationship from what Paul had imagined. So, he was elated and practically bursting with excitement.She blinked in surprise when she heard his open confession. "Why didn't you just ask me abou
When Paul gave Miranda water, he was extra careful about the angle of the glass and worried that the wrong tilt might make her choke.While looking at his serious and focused expression, she couldn't help but wonder if he was taking something so simple and turning it into a major project.After she
Every time Sebastian thought about the possibility, he felt a tightness in his chest. Since there was no actual reason, he decided to be the one to make Madison stay in Jandersville. Though he knew that reason wasn't enough, he believed that one day, it would be.When he arrived at the lab, as expec
Madison drove back to her apartment, and the darkness of night had already settled outside.On most evenings, she would have been eating her delivery from Flavorscape by now. However, she had lately developed a fondness for a new place called Noir Plate. As a regular, she had even signed up for thei
It was hard to tell how long it took, but Madison finally calmed down. The first full sentence she blurted out was, "Seb, are you crazy?"Then came, "Or did someone put a spell on you?"And finally, "How… How could you possibly like me?"The whole situation was so overwhelming that she couldn't help
In the evening, Miranda finally stepped down from the lab bench, removing her lab coat as she went. Madison exclaimed in surprise, "Miranda, are you leaving?""Yes.""This early?"It wasn't that she was overacting, but this was the first time for a workaholic like Miranda to leave work on time. Wha
At that moment, her gaze froze. There was a pair of boxers lying in a corner next to the washing machine!Miranda quickly averted her eyes once she realized what it was. In the living room, Paul seemed to have remembered something. His body stiffened as he cursed silently. Then, he immediately stoo
Paul's cheeks flushed red the moment he heard Miranda's words, like the radiant hues of a sunset. It made him look exceptionally handsome.Miranda stood at the entrance of her apartment and extended an invitation to him with a bright smile. Her gaze was unwavering as she looked at him. Paul's Adam'
