"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
"Really?" Miranda asked.Paul nodded. "Yes."Miranda took a deep breath. "Thank you. I feel much better."Paul watched her collect her emotions and felt slightly more relieved. "Are you hungry?" he asked. "I remember that there's a decent Dolorian restaurant nearby."After giving it some thought, Mi
Paul waved his hand. "I'm not in a rush to get it back."It was just a jacket. He had more in his closet."I just came back to grab a few changes of clothes. I'm heading back to the lab right after," he said nasally. He was also wearing a mask. Just from the sound of his voice, Miranda could tell th
Miranda frowned at his confidence. Before she could say anything, a voice rang out. "Miranda?"Calvin had been eating nearby. When he walked past, he was surprised to see Sam and Miranda together through the glass window.They were at a café. It was undeniable that this was a common dating spot for
Deep down, Calvin blamed Sam for his lack of reservations. Two friends were fighting over the same woman, but it was Sam who revealed his cards first. Just what was going to happen?Sam waved his hand nonchalantly. "You don't need to give me advice. I'll find out for myself whether it's enjoyable if
The night Miranda found the condom wrapper, she had lied, saying that she was unwell and slept in the guest bedroom.She had been afraid that if she spent another second in the master bedroom with Hansel, she wouldn't be able to choke back her vomit.That night had been very dark. The wind had been
Walking on the snow-covered ground was a struggle as one foot would be deep in snow, while the other was on the surface. However, it was pure joy for Miranda. As soon as the sky brightened, she rushed downstairs to play in the snow for several days in a row. Ever since Paul went to the lab that da
"It smells amazing…" As soon as Paul stepped into the house, he was greeted by a rich aroma of something baking. Miranda walked out of the kitchen with a smile. She held a slice of rum cake on a plate in her hands. "Your nose is quite sharp, huh?""It smells too good. How could I not smell it?""T
"Just some daily necessities." Miranda's reaction was quick, and she hesitated for only two seconds. Sam's gaze sharpened, and his lips pressed into a thin line. The shipping label on the topmost parcel in the shopping bag gave nothing away, but the word "Durex" was printed on the packing tape wra
Miranda turned and left the alley. She headed toward the supermarket happily. Apart from fresh vegetables and fruits, she also bought butter, heavy cream, flour, and other baking ingredients. She planned to use up those bottles of fresh milk just in time before they expired. On her way home, Miran
After a long silence, Fiona finally spoke again. "Sam, you should think things through carefully before saying them. Once they're said, words can never be taken back.""I know, but I still want to say them," Sam replied. "You say you like Miranda, but what about her? Does she like you?" Fiona's wi
Paul really was a better man than him.At this thought, Hansel lowered his gaze and smiled self-mockingly. It served him right."This is karma," he thought. Hansel wasn't the only one staring blankly out the window, lost in thought. There was also… Sam. The glaring words on his phone screen felt l
Miranda posted nine photos on her social media with a caption, "From my boyfriend."She was frustrated. Why was she restricted to only nine photos on her feed? If she posted more than nine, it would turn into a video automatically. If she could, she would have posted 90 photos. After all, they were
As soon as Miranda stepped out of the building, she swept her gaze across the vast stretch of white snow and saw a man dressed in a down jacket. Paul turned to Miranda with a smile the moment he heard the sound of footsteps. Stunned, Miranda exclaimed in surprise, "Paul? When did you come downstai
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
