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
Despite the delicious and appetizing dishes, Solomon felt uneasy throughout the meal. He finally managed to finish eating and quickly excused himself. The apartment suddenly became quiet all of a sudden.As Miranda cleaned up the dishes, Tina's words echoed in her mind. Gastric perforation…While s
The temperature had been rising since the beginning of July. The weather forecast issued a red alert due to the high temperature of 95 degrees Fahrenheit, which had persisted for a week. After repeated calculations and verifications, there was finally some progress in Paul's experiment. With great
This was a rare opportunity for Miranda."If you're interested, you can take this home and look it over carefully." Paul took out a USB drive and placed it in front of her. "This contains the details of the experiment materials." Miranda looked up, her bright eyes filled with emotion. "Thank you. I
Miranda finished her morning run and took a shower. When she came out, she noticed the new pink succulent among the rows of differently-shaped green ones on her balcony.She gently poked the leaves with her finger. Her mood improved considerably when she laid her eyes on the soft and tender succulen
Miranda glanced at her phone. It was a call from Paul. "Hello, Paul, Merry—"Before she could finish her sentence, she heard the sound of heavy breathing on the other end. Taken aback, Miranda froze for a moment. "What's…""Come outside, Mimi.""What?""I'm out front at your entrance. Come out."As
Austin stuck out his tongue at Yale. "Uncle Yale, shame on you! How can you compare yourself to little kids?" Yale was at a loss for words. Great, he thought, even the kids were bullying him.Suddenly, Susan thought of something and asked, "By the way, where's Paul?" "Oh, he got a phone call earli
Jenny was shocked. "Are they really that powerful?""Of course!" Quincey couldn't help but sigh. "I can't help but admire Miranda sometimes. Back when she needed money, she latched onto a rich young scion. Now that she's still young but craving for status, she went straight for a prominent academic
"Well, Dad and Mom still have a few jars left," Jenny said. "After thinking about it, we really shouldn't turn down Lionel's and his family's good intentions. Oh, right. Quincey, we still have to visit your maternal grandparents for Christmas. Let's head back now."The other members of the Sutton fa
Miranda walked over with a bright smile. "Aunt Jenny, the reason I gave the project to Jack back then was because we were working on a tight budget. Other smart home renovation companies were quoting too high. "Secondly, Jack's team was truly capable and qualified to handle the job. I would've like
Jenny had heard from other relatives some time ago that Jack's company was growing rapidly. His business had boomed so quickly that they could barely keep up with the demand. She had felt a little envious when she first heard the news. Jenny hadn't seen it with her own eyes and didn't know just how
Jenny's words dripped with sarcasm. It felt like someone had hit the pause button on the originally cheerful atmosphere as the smiles on everyone's faces froze. Lionel scratched his head and replied politely, "We were just lucky…""Oh please, don't be so modest! I've got terrible luck, and everyon
Mindy maintained a polite smile. "It's the thought that counts. After all, we're family. There's no need to compare."With that, Cynthia's expression softened into a genuine smile. "Mindy, you really do have a way with words. No wonder you're a famous writer."Jenny hadn't managed to gain the upper
Rena's smile widened and looked more genuine. "These are not cheap, right? You're really too much. We're just having a Christmas dinner with family, so there's no need to bring all these gifts."She wasn't like Jenny, who couldn't stand seeing others doing well. Her brother-in-law's success was a g
