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
The man had long and pretty fingers. Miranda glanced at his cart to find that it was filled with ready-to-eat food. Her gaze trailed upward to find that he happened to be looking down at her too.She smiled. "Don't tell me you're having this for dinner.""Heh, sometimes I get home too late and don't
Miranda had taken some photos of Winter too. In one of them, Winter had just gotten off the roller coaster, looking like she'd escaped with her life. Miranda couldn't help but laugh.She scrolled to the end. The last photo was a solo shot of her. Before she closed the app, she noticed two familiar f
On the other end of the line, Miranda was stunned. The image of Hansel and Ingrid holding hands in her photo resurfaced in her mind.She said mildly, "If you don't feel well, then go to the hospital. I'm not a doctor." With that, she hung up the phone. Her tone was casual, as though she were just ta
Tina was also confused. In the past, when Hansel had ended up in the hospital, Miranda had stayed by his bedside and attended to him. She'd even tear up from heartache. How come she wasn't here this time?As soon as Evelyn asked that question, a deathly silence fell over the room.Hansel said nothi
Miranda checked the fridge as soon as she reached her apartment. There were still plenty of groceries left from yesterday. She decided to whip up a beef stew, pork ribs, scrambled eggs, and some salad. Her movements were swift as she washed and chopped up the vegetables. On the other hand, Solomon
Sebastian noticed the look of disappointment in Madison's eyes and suddenly said, "Hey, don't we look like two school kids getting punished by the teacher and made to stand outside the classroom?""You're the one who looks like a school kid," Madison retorted."Then… does that make us childhood swee
"Paul, I apologize." Quincey said. "My mom must've been momentarily possessed or something. She looked uneasy the whole time after we got home. She only confessed once my dad and I noticed something was off. "So, I rushed over to return the bangle. Thankfully, I made it in time. Please help me pass
Paul didn't look particularly surprised when he heard that. He simply said calmly, "Wasn't that the whole point of you giving the gold bangle? Shouldn't you be pleased that Mrs. Jenny showed interest in your gift?""You—" Susan's eyes widened in shock. She was so angry that she couldn't speak. "Pau
"Mom's a woman herself," Lionel said. "She knows more than anyone that the bride will be taken lightly if her family submits to the groom's family even before the wedding happens. "Besides, Leonard and Rena treated her well over the years. They bought her anything she wanted, including gold and sil
Quincey was getting a little impatient while waiting for Jenny at the entrance of Delish restaurant. She kept pressing her phone screen to check the time. "What's taking Mom so long?"Meanwhile, Harold was smoking at the bottom of the steps. He had only gotten through half a cigarette, so he wasn't
"You should go ahead and accept the gift," Susan said. "I prepared them for everyone. They're just little trinkets to wear for fun."Jenny clicked her tongue. A trinket? For fun?Those were truly words worthy of a wealthy lady. It was amazing how generous she was. However, Jenny still had a shred o
Susan remained silent for the rest of the meal. She only concentrated on eating the food in front of her. Jenny, kept in check by Harold, didn't cause any more scenes, either. As the meal was nearing its end, several waiters suddenly entered the private room. Each one was elegantly dressed and wor
"What Mrs. Jenny said earlier made a lot of sense," Paul said. I've taken your words to heart."Then, he turned to Mindy and Lionel. "Please rest assured, Mr. and Mrs. Sutton. I know how lucky I am to have met Miranda. I'll always put her first, cherish her, and take full responsibility as her boyfr
"Mrs. Jefferson, this toast is to welcome you to Lumberville!" Jenny exclaimed. "You should go around and explore while you're here. There's quite a bit of beautiful scenery in this city. "I would also like to thank you for your hospitality. You treated our entire family with such wonderful food an
