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
The weather was nice on Saturday. Shafts of bright sunlight filtered through the layers of cloud.Miranda was sweating a little after her morning run. She took a shower and got changed after she returned home. Then, she bought some medicine and took a cab to Christine's place."Dr. Young, you need t
Miranda was aware of how concerned Christine was about her and her studies. She reassured the latter, saying, "Don't worry. I won't let you down."…After returning home, Miranda started looking through the materials she'd brought back with her.Compared to the textbooks she'd studied for the admiss
Hansel froze. "You…"Miranda was reminded of what had happened at the mansion the last time she'd been there. She stared at him with a terrified and wary look in her eyes."Don't move! Stay away from me!""Mimi…" Hansel felt as though a knife had been driven into his heart. "That day, I—""Stop! Jus
After returning from the Garrison estate, Miranda finally learned that Paul had actually abandoned his work at the lab midway just to have dinner with her family."Dr. Jefferson, please come to the lab tomorrow to continue authorizing the access permissions." Esme's flat and emotionless voice came t
Paul had arrived quickly. During dinner, he had beaten Sam to it when he tried to sit next to Miranda. Sam had tried to take the seat on the opposite side, but Fiona had cut in and taken that seat before he could. …"So were you deliberately stalling him when you said the remote was broken before t
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
