Miranda took the brown paper bag. Then, the two of them headed to Bedford College.As they chatted on the way, she noticed that Sam was very knowledgeable once again. No matter what kind of topic she brought up, he was able to carry the conversation effortlessly.He spoke in a steady voice and had a
Without waiting for a reply, Miranda grabbed a clean plate from the table. She used a clean fork to place a couple of small meatballs onto it and pushed the plate toward Paul. "Try it."Paul hesitated briefly before putting one into his mouth, chewing slowly.Miranda blinked. "How is it?"Seeing her
Hansel froze. He subconsciously pulled his arm out of Ingrid's hold.Caught off-guard, Ingrid couldn't help but frown. She followed his gaze and found Miranda standing not too far away.Hansel wrinkled his brow. "Did you invite Miranda?" he asked Sam."I did. We're friends, after all," Sam said with
Sam laughed quietly. "I didn't mistake you for someone else."As if she didn't understand what he said, Miranda's gaze went blank.Sam spoke again, "The person I want to kiss is you."Miranda was stunned. For a moment, she couldn't speak.Confusion swirled in her mind. There was even a moment where
"And you!" Hansel turned to Miranda. "You're really despicable. Of all people that you chose to seduce, you chose him. Are you satisfied now?"Miranda felt both furious and aggrieved at his accusation. She was the one who was dragged into this for no reason. Just what had she done wrong?In the face
"What the hell is going on?""Have you two gone crazy?""Stop this now, Hans, Sam!"Zach and Calvin each grabbed one of them."Hansel, calm down!" Calvin exclaimed."Sam, stop this insanity! Why are you guys fighting? Can't you talk it out?" Zach asked."Let go!" Hansel and Sam shouted in unison.Se
However, in the next second, another hand stopped Sam's hand in midair. He frowned when he saw who it was. "It's you?" he said in an unkind tone."Dr. Jefferson, why—" Miranda mumbled. At that moment, she got choked up.Paul's gaze fell on her face. "Are you alright?"Miranda nodded. "Yes," she said
Sam regarded Hansel calmly. "I asked you, didn't I? Weren't you the one who let me pursue her? So why are you kicking up a fuss now?"Hansel remembered the group chat from a while back, and his face suddenly turned as white as a sheet.Miranda began to quake even more violently, swaying back and for
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
