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
Before entering the exam hall, Miranda checked that she had her admission ticket, pen, and all the tools needed for doing calculations. She hadn't left out any of the things she needed.Winter told her she planned to come all dressed up to wish Miranda the best of luck for her test.Miranda knew tha
Miranda understood what Tina was trying to say. She merely smiled and didn't try to explain anything.Tina asked, "If I'm not mistaken, you did your undergraduate studies at Bedford College, right? Which school are you trying to apply for this time?"Miranda replied, "I'm still opting for Bedford Co
It had gotten dark outside pretty early since it was wintertime.Before 7:00 pm, the street lamps lining either sides of the road lit up. The lights gave people a sense of warmth on this cold night.Walking from the subway station to Bedford College, one would pass by a street of shops and vendors s
However, Sam's mind had long wandered elsewhere. Coincidentally, he stepped out of the study with a bright smile on his face when the maid came to call him. Sam hadn't gone to the office as he knew Miranda would be visiting. He specially came to the Garrison estate to wait for her instead. Sure en
Miranda felt that if she didn't find an excuse to get Joli out of the lab, he could easily stay there for an entire day. Then, he would pull another all-nighter. Did Joli really think he had some kind of superpower? He worked nonstop for two days with barely any sleep and no proper meals. Yet, he s
Miranda began, "Grandma, I—" "Aren, can you keep an eye on the fire for me? It's been stewing for three hours, and I just need this last touch. Make sure it's perfect, okay? It's too noisy here, so I'm going out to talk to Mimi."It sounded like Fiona had walked into the living room since the noise
Paul paused, then chuckled. "Why do you ask?"Miranda responded thoughtfully, "Because I think it's you. Am I right?"After a brief pause, he nodded. "Yeah."She smiled. "I knew it… No wonder you said we should let things calm down before making any moves. You'd already planned this beforehand, hadn
Madison sighed. "You don't get it."Sebastian gave her a puzzled look."I'm so stressed out," Madison wailed."What can I do to help?" When he saw the tears in her eyes, Sebastian panicked."I'm not getting enough sleep… Can I cut the morning run by ten minutes?" she sobbed."Sure," he said.Madison
Fiona sighed. "What's Mimi been up to lately? I've asked her to come home for dinner twice, but she keeps saying she's too busy. It's been more than a month since I've seen her."Aren put down his newspaper and glanced at her. "You're a grown woman. Why do you need your granddaughter around to keep
Miranda accepted the money and said, "I don't think Joli would accept it.""Just tell him it's from me, and refusing it would be rude. I'm sure he'll accept it," Christine said."Got it." After handling everything, Miranda resumed her usual routine. She shuttled between the lab, college, and home.
"That's great news, Mr. Zeller!" Joli almost jumped in excitement. "My parents and I are heading to the city in two days, so we'll stop by to visit Theodore then… "Don't worry, everything's taken care of… It's true. I'm not lying to you. The Snider brothers were taken in by the police yesterday."
After reviewing the contract, Joli signed his name. He handed it back to Miranda with both hands and assured her, "I won't let the lab lose a penny."She smiled faintly. "I trust my instincts."This was the second time she had extended a hand to him.Joli's heart was overflowing with gratitude, but
