Seated on the couch, Sam smiled faintly when he saw the awkward expression on Calvin's face. "You really don't have to worry about that. After all, Calvin was the one who lied and said that he wanted to eat it, so Miranda made the soup for him. As for her, she won't be coming." Hansel's face darke
At the library, Miranda had been working on two practice papers in a row. She got stuck on the last question for both papers. She'd been trying to solve it for a long time, but she still couldn't find the answer. Finally, she remembered seeing a similar problem in a book and got up to look for the
Hansel endured the lecture for a few seconds before hanging up abruptly. Then, he switched his phone to flight mode. Finally, he had some peace and quiet.Once he got home, he felt less agitated and let out a long breath. As he was about to go upstairs, he changed his mind and found himself turning
In the stillness of the night, a soft murmur sounded from the other end of the line, "Mimi, I'm in pain." Miranda could detect a slight quiver in Hansel's voice.In that instant, she felt an instinctive pang of heartache. Hansel was a stubborn man with a cutting tongue, and he'd always put on a bra
Ingrid felt a little unsettled and shook Hansel's arm. "Dear, what's wrong?" He snapped out of his reverie and waved his hand. "It's nothing. I'm fine now, so you can focus on your classes. "You don't need to come here every day anymore. There'll be a lot going on at the office, so I'll be busy th
Solomon was indeed a the professors' favorite student. Although he hadn't majored in the same field as Miranda, they could find common ground in their conversations. Miranda felt quite happy that they could have deep discussions about their studies. She was currently preparing for the postgraduate
Hansel sneered. "Quite impressive, Miranda. You seem to be having a good time, surrounding yourself with men." His tone became vicious. "Who was that guy just now? What were you two doing upstairs?" Miranda's smile vanished. She tried to break free as her wrist hurt from his vise-like grip, but Han
Hansel burst into his bedroom and flung the closet doors open like a madman. Then, he rushed to Miranda's walk-in closet. All the designer bags, clothes, watches, and jewelry he had gifted her were neatly arranged inside. Not a single item was missing. Hansel's gaze landed on a cherry quartz brace
"By the way, how's your family?" Miranda suddenly asked.Emilia was completely caught off guard. After a long pause, she finally spoke. "How do you know?""I heard from the pea… I mean, Santiago."Emilia's grandmother had been hospitalized recently. Her father had passed away years ago from liver ci
That night, Emilia couldn't sleep. She tossed and turned in bed before finally giving up. She spent the entire night researching everything about Miranda, including her résumé, research direction, and thesis publications…By the time she finished, Emilia had no choice but to admit that Miranda was t
Miranda remarked, "Dr. Vain, do you have a cramp in your eyebrow?"Santiago smirked. "Mimi, you do this every time. Oh, I get it. You actually like this kind of banter, don't you?"Miranda mentally rolled her eyes. Paul was way better at this game.She replied, "I've said this many times before. Ple
Santiago's expression twisted in disbelief. "No… How could you do this?"Harvold was surprised. What did he do?"How could you just open the gate for them so easily?" Santiago demanded."I didn't simply do it," Harvold replied. "Didn't you bring them here the first time?""That was just once! I didn
Miranda asked, "Dr. Vain, did you trip over your tongue?"Santiago was surprised at her reply. She continued, "No, you may not. Please just call me by my given name. Thank you."With that, she packed up her laptop and strode out of the classroom. Santiago stood rooted to the spot, rubbing his nose
Despite Santiago's flamboyant demeanor, he was still competent at his job. At the very least, his training content was useful. Miranda listened attentively to his lecture. Even Madison eventually stopped nitpicking, despite complaining about him the whole time. Santiago ended the class at 5:30 pm,
Although Madison was annoyed, she had to admit that Emilia was right. She could complain all she wanted—after she finished the task. Emilia straightened her expression and began asking questions. Perhaps Madison's emotions hadn't fully calmed down yet. She answered the questions with imprecise term
At 9:00 am, Miranda, Madison and Sebastian arrived at the classroom right on time.But by 9:30 am, Emilia still hadn't shown up.Madison couldn't help but grumble, "Seriously? Don't tell me she took another day off. She's the one who kept nagging us to be on time—where is she?"Sebastian frowned.Mi
Madison hesitated for a few seconds but couldn't hold back. "Dr. Quimby knows the rules better than anyone. So, why break them?"Miranda watched Emilia disappear into the distance, lost in thought.That evening, they skipped the cup noodles. The convenience store had better options—corn dogs, fruit
