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
"Take a look, did I calculate this correctly?" Elizabeth asked.Sandy reviewed the data carefully and nodded. "It seems fine now."Yet Silas, with his seasoned experience, spotted the discrepancy right away. "These two values still don't match.""In the seventh row, both values are incorrect. It's n
Miranda was momentarily taken aback, then she laughed. "Of course, I brought some for him too! Here, will you take it to him for me?""Sure thing!"Miranda took out a few extra jars and placed them in her car. "You're the best, Miranda!" "I think you and Sebastian are a pretty good match too."Wit
Since staying at the villa, her eyesight improved, and her back had stopped hurting. She was always smiling with a great appetite. Aren even went so far as to call over their private doctor, driver, and bodyguards from home. From the look of things, they planned to stay at the villa for some time.
By force? Sam chuckled. "Well, that's if you actually managed to grab hold of it."Timothy retorted, "How would you know you can't if you haven't tried?""What? Are you going to pursue Aunt Minnie? Heh… First of all, there's no way you'll get past my grandparents."Timothy made no comment on that.
"No way… Are you a big shot? You even brought your bodyguards to get drunk at a bar?" "Who knows?" Sam retorted.…Sam asked his bodyguards to stand closer deliberately so that he could finally have some peace and quiet. He poured himself another drink, but unlike last night, he didn't chug it down
Now, Timothy and Mindy were no longer the childhood sweethearts they once were. Their lives had diverged, with separate marriages and entirely different paths."Do you remember when we were kids, the promises we made about what we wanted to be when we grew up?" Timothy was the first to break the sil
Timothy waved his hand dismissively. "No need, I'll serve myself…""Nonsense! We're all family here." Before Timothy could finish, Lionel had already added two heaping servings of ribs to his plate.Timothy froze, momentarily at a loss for words.Nelly smiled sweetly, but her gaze toward Timothy was
The moment seemed to pull Timothy back in time, to when they were just young adults in their 20s. Their world revolved solely around each other, yet held back by the unspoken.His heart stirred. He opened his mouth to speak, but before he could say anything, Mindy stood up and broke the spell. "I sh
Nelly's smile became slightly strained. "Is that so? Lionel is truly a family man…"As everyone enjoyed their meal, the doorbell suddenly rang. Sam put down his cutlery. "I'll get it," he said, heading to the entryway.A few seconds later, his surprised voice echoed through the house. "Dad? What are
Mindy only asked Miranda to contact Sam because the two of them already knew each other.Back when Lionel's wallet was stolen at the train station, Miranda had introduced Sam to them. She called him "Mr. Cooper" and explained that he was a friend. Later, Sam had even thoughtfully dropped them off at
