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
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
