"Dear, I did all of this because I love you. I just want to be with you. Please forgive me this time. I swear it won't happen again," Ingrid said.Hansel's expression remained cold as he watched her desperate attempt to make amends. His eyes were filled with frost. "Do you not realize your action is
Ingrid trembled. Hansel's attitude made it feel like a bucket of cold water was poured over her head. She never expected him to be so heartless, to not even give her a chance to make amends.She couldn't accept this!"I know I was wrong, dear, but the child is innocent! Look, this is the ultrasound
It all felt meaningless now. Hansel's late-coming affection was worth nothing to Miranda.She listened to him with a blank expression while her hand still gripped the door knob tightly—a defensive stance.Then, she said in a slow and concise manner, "I'm sorry, but no."There would be no forgiveness
"Take these home and go through them. You'll officially start school again in September. Before then, you should have a basic understanding of your research direction. This way, when you join the lab group, you won't be completely in the dark," said Christine.Miranda glanced at the materials in her
Miranda suddenly realized that Elder Street was near Winter's office. Her heart jumped into her throat, nearly choking her with anxiety.Meanwhile, the driver kept his word; what would normally be a half-hour trip, he managed to cut it down to 15 minutes.As soon as Miranda got out of the car and wa
"Alright, alright. You're amazing! Happy now?" Miranda conceded."Well, according to hospital rules and procedures, car accident victims need to contact their family members."I didn't want to worry my parents, so I had to give them your number." Winter sighed, pulling out her phone and complaining
Hence, Evelyn could only glare, staring daggers at Winter. If looks could kill, Winter would've been stabbed to pieces by now."Ms. Jefferson, you might... have misunderstood me," Ingrid said timidly while glancing pitifully at Winter.Unfortunately, Winter wasn't buying it. "Misunderstand what? Tha
The more Evelyn thought about it, the angrier she became. The angrier she got, the more unwilling she was to let it go. She then actually chased after them.Normally, she would never stoop to this level, thinking that only desperate people would cling on like this. But right now, she was no differen
Hendrix suddenly thought of something. "Go check the number of papers published in 'Nature Biotechnology' by scholars within the country for last year."Beckett immediately opened his laptop. Five minutes later, he reported, "For last year, local scholars published a total of six papers in 'Nature B
In chess, a stalemate would result in a draw. With the first two rounds taken into account, the two indeed ended with a tie. Paul remarked, "Mr. Cooper, your chess skills are impressive."Sam replied, "You flatter me. However, praising me is just a roundabout way of praising yourself. Who knew you
Going downstairs, Miranda found Aren and Paul still sitting at the same spot as before. They were facing each other over the chessboard, deep in thought. She wondered if she had dreamed of taking a nap. "Mimi, are you up already? Come help me take a look. Paul is something else. He's already beaten
On second thought, Sawyer figured that Sam was Miranda's older cousin. It was normal for him to be annoyed after seeing through his intentions. After all, it was natural for families to feel protective over young women like Miranda. Sawyer quickly put on a smile. "Mr. Cooper, you're right. Since I'
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
