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
Calvin couldn't understand why Hansel had done all those things when he actually couldn't bear to part with Miranda.In the end, the person who'd ended up in a bind was Hansel himself!…Miranda's apartment was a mess after Hansel had shown up unannounced last night.After he left, she cleaned the p
Calvin acted on his plan right away. He took out his phone and called Miranda. "Miranda, how are you? I have something to tell you…"There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line after Calvin extended the invitation.He could tell why Miranda was hesitant. He patted his chest and promis
Sam had a pensive look on his face. "Is this interpretation right? Biology is a broad concept, whereas applied biological sciences is the actual application of knowledge."On the other hand, bioinformatics deals a lot more with computer technology. It uses applied mathematics, information science, s
By force? Sam chuckled. "Well, that's if you actually managed to grab hold of it."Timothy retorted, "How would you know you can't if you haven't tried?""What? Are you going to pursue Aunt Minnie? Heh… First of all, there's no way you'll get past my grandparents."Timothy made no comment on that.
"No way… Are you a big shot? You even brought your bodyguards to get drunk at a bar?" "Who knows?" Sam retorted.…Sam asked his bodyguards to stand closer deliberately so that he could finally have some peace and quiet. He poured himself another drink, but unlike last night, he didn't chug it down
Now, Timothy and Mindy were no longer the childhood sweethearts they once were. Their lives had diverged, with separate marriages and entirely different paths."Do you remember when we were kids, the promises we made about what we wanted to be when we grew up?" Timothy was the first to break the sil
Timothy waved his hand dismissively. "No need, I'll serve myself…""Nonsense! We're all family here." Before Timothy could finish, Lionel had already added two heaping servings of ribs to his plate.Timothy froze, momentarily at a loss for words.Nelly smiled sweetly, but her gaze toward Timothy was
The moment seemed to pull Timothy back in time, to when they were just young adults in their 20s. Their world revolved solely around each other, yet held back by the unspoken.His heart stirred. He opened his mouth to speak, but before he could say anything, Mindy stood up and broke the spell. "I sh
Nelly's smile became slightly strained. "Is that so? Lionel is truly a family man…"As everyone enjoyed their meal, the doorbell suddenly rang. Sam put down his cutlery. "I'll get it," he said, heading to the entryway.A few seconds later, his surprised voice echoed through the house. "Dad? What are
Mindy only asked Miranda to contact Sam because the two of them already knew each other.Back when Lionel's wallet was stolen at the train station, Miranda had introduced Sam to them. She called him "Mr. Cooper" and explained that he was a friend. Later, Sam had even thoughtfully dropped them off at
Fortunately, for now, Fiona was satisfied with Lionel as a son-in-law. He was gentle, attentive, and thoughtful, with decent looks and a respectable height.Having graduated from Queenstone College and now working as a physics teacher at a prestigious high school, he might not be wealthy, but he was
"A family reunion is always a good thing," Aren said with a heartfelt sigh, while Lionel nodded immediately in agreement.It was then that Mindy realized she hadn't introduced Lionel to Nelly."This is my husband," she said."Hello," Nelly responded with a faint smile. "My brother-in-law certainly l
