Upon hearing the noise, Calvin went to welcome Hansel into the room.However, in the next moment, he saw Hansel… with Ingrid.Wait a minute!Calvin sucked in a breath."Hey, Cal," Hansel said calmly."Hans, you're here. Come sit…" He quickly poured Hansel a glass and served him some fruit.Later tha
"I know you're in there," Hansel said. "Can you please open the door? We need to talk. Miranda! Can you hear me?"There was no reply."Oh, so that's how it is, Miranda? You're not going to open up, huh? Do you think you can keep me out like this?"Hansel's tone started out meek and slowly became fla
As Winter spoke, she put on her sunglasses. Imitating Miranda, she took a sip of her coconut water. Then, she smiled, feeling content.Miranda crossed her slender legs and turned over. "I thought you were on a date."Winter's lips turned down in disdain. "That blonde guy was so muscular I thought he
The next morning, Hansel waited in the VIP lounge of the airport while casually scrolling through his social media.There was still half an hour until boarding time. Time seemed to pass too slowly for him. He just hoped his flight would depart as soon as possible.Suddenly, he stopped scrolling and
Hansel didn't sleep well last night and was already sleepy. Yawning, he looked up in time to see Ingrid taking a photo of them. Instantly, his expression turned grim, and he blocked the camera.Ingrid was stunned. "Dear, it's our first time going on an overseas trip. Don't you want to take a photo t
"A masquerade ball?""Yeah. It's the hotel's tradition to hold a ball once every six months. The theme is different every time. It was a costume party the last time, and the one before was a Halloween-themed party."This time, its theme is relatively more common. Everyone is more accepting of the id
The man wore a black suit, with royal blue cufflinks that stood out. The light-colored Patek Philippe he wore gave him a vintage touch. It somehow complemented the mask he wore, which was the mask of the Phantom of the Opera.Miranda met his smiling eyes and instantly recognized him.It was Sam!"I'
Sam replied, "Of course."Miranda said, "I thought the end of the year would be the busiest time for those working in the finance sector like you.""That's not entirely true." Sam smiled. He hinted, "It depends on who we're talking about. As busy as we are, we'll make time for those we hold dear. Fo
Sawyer answered, "Alright."Soon, Miranda entered the house. "Grandma, did you call for me?""Come here, Miranda." Fiona beckoned her over. "Let me introduce you to the young scion of the Jensen family, Sawyer Jensen. You two probably met during the birthday banquet.""Nice to meet you," Miranda gre
Paul remained silent as he watched Sam walk away.How childish.Meanwhile, Miranda frowned. That couldn't be right. She had picked each one carefully and they all looked sweet. Sam was probably unlucky to eat a sour one. Paul and Sam picked two large baskets of strawberries and handed them over to
However, Sam's mind had long wandered elsewhere. Coincidentally, he stepped out of the study with a bright smile on his face when the maid came to call him. Sam hadn't gone to the office as he knew Miranda would be visiting. He specially came to the Garrison estate to wait for her instead. Sure en
Miranda felt that if she didn't find an excuse to get Joli out of the lab, he could easily stay there for an entire day. Then, he would pull another all-nighter. Did Joli really think he had some kind of superpower? He worked nonstop for two days with barely any sleep and no proper meals. Yet, he s
Miranda began, "Grandma, I—" "Aren, can you keep an eye on the fire for me? It's been stewing for three hours, and I just need this last touch. Make sure it's perfect, okay? It's too noisy here, so I'm going out to talk to Mimi."It sounded like Fiona had walked into the living room since the noise
Paul paused, then chuckled. "Why do you ask?"Miranda responded thoughtfully, "Because I think it's you. Am I right?"After a brief pause, he nodded. "Yeah."She smiled. "I knew it… No wonder you said we should let things calm down before making any moves. You'd already planned this beforehand, hadn
Madison sighed. "You don't get it."Sebastian gave her a puzzled look."I'm so stressed out," Madison wailed."What can I do to help?" When he saw the tears in her eyes, Sebastian panicked."I'm not getting enough sleep… Can I cut the morning run by ten minutes?" she sobbed."Sure," he said.Madison
Fiona sighed. "What's Mimi been up to lately? I've asked her to come home for dinner twice, but she keeps saying she's too busy. It's been more than a month since I've seen her."Aren put down his newspaper and glanced at her. "You're a grown woman. Why do you need your granddaughter around to keep
Miranda accepted the money and said, "I don't think Joli would accept it.""Just tell him it's from me, and refusing it would be rude. I'm sure he'll accept it," Christine said."Got it." After handling everything, Miranda resumed her usual routine. She shuttled between the lab, college, and home.
