There was a hint of fear in Miranda's hoarse and trembling voice. She seemed like a frightened but helpless bird. Hansel felt his body burning up with lust. He gave up removing her top and slipped his hand directly under her skirt. Miranda panicked. "Hansel, you can have any woman you want! Why ar
Hansel wasn't one to back down either. He raised his fist and swung back at Paul. "How dare you hit me? Who do you think you are?" he snarled as he attacked Paul. "When I was being intimate with Miranda back then, you were just a nobody!"Paul intercepted his punch easily. Unlike Hansel's furious a
Miranda had loved Bartovian food served on the second floor of the cafeteria when she'd been a student. The cafeteria lady serving food there had a chubby face and had radiated warmth whenever she'd smiled. Every time she'd seen Miranda, she'd chat for a bit before generously adding an extra helpin
Once Miranda returned home, she immediately started arranging her books. She was drenched in sweat after she finished placing them neatly on the shelves. Walking into the living room after her shower, Miranda noticed the ointment she'd left on the coffee table. She picked it up and unscrewed the ca
"Come over," Hansel replied. On the other end, Ingrid almost jumped for joy under the covers when she read the message. She'd intentionally tried to test Hansel many times before, even with some hints of seduction. However, he'd never responded.Ingrid thought it would be the same this time as well
"Have you finally come to your senses?" Zach shot to his feet. "Are you going to stop acting like you're a man without any mortal desires?"Despite the sarcastic remarks, Hansel remained expressionless. He didn't even raise a brow."There's no special meaning to it, and it's not my first time doing
Miranda chuckled. "Shouldn't I be treating you instead?"Winter raised her brows. "We're best friends! It doesn't matter who treats who. Alright, it's decided! Get ready. I'm coming over to pick you up now."Miranda put her phone down and went to her room. She opened her closet and picked out a v-ne
Miranda raised her head and found that Paul's chin was almost touching her forehead. If she hadn't grabbed onto his arm, she would've ended up pressing her face right against his chest…Miranda snapped out of her reverie and took a few steps backward.Paul swallowed unnoticeably and put his hands do
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
