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
Miranda was finally back!She was wearing Hansel's favorite sexy nightgown. Her intoxicating smell was as alluring as he remembered.This time, he wouldn't let go ever again!He fiercely flipped her over and pressed her beneath his body, kissing her furiously. "Mimi… Mimi…" he murmured.Finally, she
Out in the hallway, Miranda smiled sweetly and waved at Paul. "Good night, Paul."Paul lingered for a moment before asking, "That's it? Nothing else?""What do you mean?""That's not the impression you were giving me earlier," he muttered. "What did I do?" she asked, puzzled."You gave me a look… a
The table was filled with dishes that smelled and looked delicious. "Paul, your cooking has improved again," Mindy said after having a bite of steak. Lionel pointed at the plate of mashed potatoes and said, "This tastes just like how we do it back in Lumberville. I'm not exaggerating, but most loc
Even while he was busy in the kitchen, Paul didn't neglect Lionel and Mindy. He would occasionally step out to refill their water or steep a fresh pot of tea."Mr. and Mrs. Sutton, what time did you leave home? Was the journey tiring?" Paul asked. "We took a cab from home at around 7:00 am and reac
"Then whose gossip is interesting?" Miranda countered. Paul didn't miss a beat when he replied, "Ours, of course." The next second, he pulled Miranda onto his lap. He stood up from the couch and lifted her in his strong arms effortlessly, carrying her like she weighed nothing. "Oh!" Miranda let o
Miranda thought about it seriously for two seconds before replying, "I'm sorry, Paul. As you heard, my dad wants me to go home for Christmas."Besides, I already spent last year's holidays in Elgerson and didn't go back to Lumberville. I don't know how my dad managed to handle my grandparents back t
"I—" Miranda was about to respond when her phone suddenly rang. She glanced at the screen and turned to Paul with a smile. "Speak of the devil… Some people just appear the moment you mention them."She swiped on her phone to answer, "Hello, Dad?""Mimi, have you eaten yet?" Lionel's voice came thro
Miranda remarked, "You don't seem surprised, either."Paul answered, "The Grahams would never let their only heir be sent to prison. They would definitely find a way to get him out. Even Uncle Damian and Aunt Natalie know that.""Does Winter know?""She does. Uncle Damian said she took it well. She
Calvin was at a loss for words after listening to what Paul said. Still, he wanted to try one last time. "Dr. Jefferson, Zach really loves Winter. He only did it because he was afraid of losing her. His life will be ruined if this incident leaves him with a criminal record."Paul raised an eyebrow
Zach shouldn't have returned so soon. He was at least 20 minutes early compared to what they estimated. "It must be the alarm from the main door," Paul said. Zach must have received a security alert and turned back halfway. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made it back this fast.As the car pulled to a
