Hansel took great satisfaction in being needed and knowing he occupied a special place in someone's mind. It was something Miranda could never offer him. Even so, when he finally got together with Ingrid, he sensed something was amiss. Though, he couldn't quite figure out what it was.He made his w
Ingrid had been making advances toward Hansel for a while, but he remained uninterested. She was baffled by what could be holding him back. Did he truly believe that keeping his distance would somehow prove his commitment to Miranda? How absurd!…Hansel switched off the light in his room, ready to
Hansel wasn't born yesterday. He knew something was fishy the moment Miranda had her accident, so he immediately demanded to see the security footage. Yet, the conclusion was the shark and the oxygen tank were just a freak coincidence.Sam frowned, saying, "Listen to me—"Hansel shoved his hand away
Miranda couldn't handle how exposed she felt in the scanty scraps of fabric covering her chest. It was just too much for her. She said firmly, "No way, I need to change.""Hey!" Winter grabbed her arm. "Change into what? You look great! Besides, there are people out there barely wearing anything, so
However, Hansel looked utterly worn out. He shut his eyes to sleep, tuning out everything around him.Out of nowhere, Luke burst out, "Wow, that's breathtaking!"Ingrid turned to see what he was staring at and spotted Miranda emerging from one of the beach huts. She was wearing a black two-piece bik
In the end, Miranda was swamped with flowers.Winter was completely at a loss. This wasn't how she'd pictured things turning out. Miranda was just as confused. None of this was what she had anticipated.Hansel, standing among the crowd, was utterly astonished.Ingrid looked at the few roses she held
Suddenly, a snake sprang from the box. Its body was marked with alternating stripes of white and black, and its thin, tapering tail indicated its venomous nature.Miranda threw the box aside in a panic. But the snake was already reared up, fangs bared as it lunged at her.The host beside her went wh
On most days, Zach would sleep during the day and pick up Winter from work in the evening. Then, they would spend a wild night in the apartment.Afterward, they were too exhausted to do anything but sleep until noon.Zach cleared his throat. Yeah, he had been pretty busy."Well… work's been a little
"What the hell! Winter? Hello? Hello!" Zach shouted into his phone. But she had already hung up before he could finish cursing. That feeling was like…An urge to go, only to have to hold it back forcibly. Zach slammed his fist onto the steering wheel in frustration. The steering wheel, of course,
Paul said, "No? Then come over to my place tonight, and we'll take a closer look."Miranda was at a loss for words. "Here we go again!" she thought. As the two returned to the lab, they could hear Sandy's excited voice from afar, "Oh, we found it! Found it! Oh my god! Thank goodness! Thank the heav
Emilia was at a loss for words. After a long pause, she finally spoke again. "One last question. Did you reject my résumé because I truly wasn't a good fit, or was it because… I gave you that candle?"Paul answered, "You truly weren't a good fit."He hesitated for a moment before elaborating, "Your
Only a fairy like Miranda could tame a slave driver like Paul!Bryan added, "You really saved the day and brought peace on earth."Miranda chuckled. "You guys are really too dramatic."As Sandy took the plate of food Paul handed to her, she pointed at the computer screen nearby. "Let me tell you, we
The person on the other end was shocked. "How is that possible?"Realizing he might have overreacted, he quickly added, "Maybe… they just haven't sent out all the notifications yet. My qualifications aren't as good as yours, and my research achievements are much weaker. There's no reason I got selec
Winter soon ended her call with Miranda, feeling dejected. She tossed and turned in bed, an uneasy creeping up within her. Suddenly, she sat up. "Why do I feel like I got tricked?"Meanwhile, Miranda hummed a tune after the call. Feeling good, she went to take a shower. After drying her hair, she
As Miranda and Paul reached the apartment building, she couldn't help but ask, "Why do you keep touching your head?"Instinctively, Paul rubbed his head again. "Tsk, that kid pulled really hard. I bet he yanked out a few strands of hair.""Yanked?" Miranda was puzzled. Paul nodded. "It felt a littl
Miranda nodded. "Alright. How about I trade the stuffed toys for you?"Austin's eyes widened in shock. "You want me?""Yes.""No way! Human trafficking is illegal!"Miranda retorted, "This isn't trafficking. It's a prize, so no money is involved.""It's still not allowed!""Why not?"Austin spoke cl
