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
Ingrid's condition wasn't too bad, and she quickly stabilized after receiving the antivenom in time. Once the hospital confirmed there were no serious complications, she and Hansel headed back to the island. To be on the safe side, Hansel had a doctor come with them to make sure Ingrid received pro
"I love you the same way you pine for Miranda. You're chasing a dream you can't catch, and I'm here longing for you, knowing I'm not the one you'll pick. If you're asking what I want, it's just to be near you," Ingrid said, her voice soft, her eyes earnest and filled with a raw, humble truth.Hansel
The shop owner could tell right off that Miranda was from Hebrania. Upon recognizing a fellow countrywoman, her attitude brightened considerably. "You've got a keen eye, young lady," she said. "I handcrafted all these sculptures myself. They'd be perfect for taking back home as gifts."Miranda smil
As Sam was heading out of the restaurant, he bumped into Hansel, who was just showing up for breakfast. Hansel frowned as he discreetly scanned the area, but Miranda was nowhere in sight.Ingrid caught him searching and played it cool. "Dear, are you looking for something?"Hansel shifted his attent
Morning sunlight streamed into the room.Miranda's eyelashes fluttered, then her eyes slowly opened. She sat up, reached for the robe beside her, and slipped it on. Glancing over at Paul, who was still asleep next to her, she quietly got out of bed.In the kitchen, she was preparing breakfast. As sh
Zach straddled the man and threw a few more punches at him. Winter was flung to the ground by his violent shove and twisted her ankle. A sharp pain shot through her the moment she tried to move. "Zach, have you lost your mind? I'm calling the police!" she shouted. Her words made Zach pause mid-ac
The moment those words left Zach's mouth, the poker table fell into dead silence. The chaotic noise around them seemed to fade into the background as a deafening explosion went off in Hansel's mind. Only one sentence echoed over and over in his ear…Miranda had a boyfriend…Had a boyfriend…Boyfrie
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
