Miranda took a quick look at the business card. It was Simon Chaffey—Senior Partner at Summit Legal Group and the Coopers' top attorney. She bit her lip, tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear, and thanked him again.The Coopers had the best legal team in the country, and their help had saved
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
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.
