The first thing that caught everyone's attention was a pair of long legs encased in knee-high boots, leading up to a camel-colored coat over a white knit sweater.The woman was carrying an elephant-gray Hermès Picotin, exuding elegance and sophistication from head to toe.As soon as Elizabeth Lincol
Elizabeth didn't even bother to hide her aversion. The others hadn't expected her to be so uncooperative, and the atmosphere grew tense.Feeling the weight of an awkward glance, Bryan forced himself to step in and smooth things over. He said to Elizabeth, "Come on, you brat, I've already run predict
Soon, the dishes were brought to the table. Silas caught a whiff of the food, and his appetite was immediately piqued.He then picked up a piece of cajun chicken. The tender meat was dripping with a bit of sauce. "This is delicious!" he exclaimed. "I haven't had such authentic cajun chicken in a lo
At this moment, Sandy suddenly spoke up. "If it's a combined Bachelor's, Master's and Doctorate program, then Bedford College does have a few disciplines where that's possible, though the entry requirements are extremely high. Miranda, what was your undergraduate major?""Bioinformatics.""Faculty o
Sandy looked puzzled. That was such a… humblebrag! Truly a humblebrag!"Silas hadn't expected dinner to come with such a big surprise. "So, you're the student that Dr. Young always talks about—the one she 'always regretted' losing! I can't believe it… So, who's your graduate advisor this year?"Mira
What… What was that about?That familiar tone and movement between them suggested they had traveled together countless times. It even hinted at the possibility that they were living together…Sandy watched as the car disappeared from view, then slowly turned her gaze back and pinched Bryan's hand. "
When Sandy heard it was a technical question, she didn't hold back. After quickly grasping Miranda's experimental steps, she promptly offered some adjustment suggestions.When Elizabeth arrived and saw how focused Miranda was, she couldn't help but roll her eyes. She was just an undergrad—what could
"Miranda Sutton! Do you even know how many times I called you? You didn't pick up a single one of them!"It's been so long—if I hadn't called, were you planning to never reach out to me again in your life?"Winter was genuinely angry. Her words were coming out in a rapid-fire burst.Miranda scrolled
Paul tapped on the counter with his knuckles. "Your ID is needed to register your personal details.""Oh, right…" Elizabeth quickly rummaged through her bag. The people waiting behind her were beginning to grow impatient. Out of courtesy, they didn't say anything rude. Instead, they just let out a
The substitute lecturer was an unfamiliar face. He appeared to be in his 40s or 50s, with a balding head. His teaching method consisted of reading directly from the slides. There was no interaction, no humor, and lacking in any sense of entertainment. Soon, he lost the students' attention. "Where'
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
