"What kind of medicine?""The kind that… makes a man… interested…"There was silence on the other end for a couple of seconds before a sudden scoff. "Have you really fallen so low that you need to drug a man to get him going?"Ingrid flushed with anger. "Just tell me if you can get it or not. The re
"Alright," Miranda nodded. "I'll send the address in the group chat. I'll head out to buy groceries first, and you guys can come over when you're done.""Sounds good!"Silas chimed in, "Should we let Paul know?"Sandy replied, "You do it.""Okay." Silas took out his phone. "I'll check if he's done w
Sandy was tongue-tied, and she couldn't speak for a long moment. Everyone else looked equally stunned."D-Dr. Jefferson…" Bryan's eyes darted between Paul and Miranda as if he had stumbled upon a huge secret. Elizabeth's mouth tightened, and her gaze grew cold."What's going on, Paul?" Silas asked a
Paul adjusted his glasses, his expression giving nothing away.The next moment, Sam crossed the street and walked toward Miranda. "I was just about to head up and find you. Didn't expect to run into you here.""Is there something you need?" Miranda asked."Yes." He nodded, his expression somewhat se
They were both men, so how could Sam not notice Paul's subtle feelings for Miranda? They might not have been obvious, but they were definitely there. And as long as they existed, there was no way they would escape his keen observation.Sam paused mid-step and suddenly spun on his heel. Miranda, who
"If that's not enough, I've got more—about an hour ago, we were sitting and chatting at a café near her place. Every word I said is true. Feel free to verify it," Sam boasted.Calvin glanced at Hansel next to him, whose face had turned sour. Was it too late to turn off the speaker now?But Sam just
Hansel looked Ingrid up and down, then sneered, "Didn't you say your stomach hurt? You look just fine to me."Under his sharp gaze, Ingrid felt as though her clumsy act had been completely exposed. "You weren't home, and I had no one to talk to. I felt so lonely—"Hansel cut her off, uninterested in
Hansel kicked the overturned bowl, sending the porcelain shattering against the floor. The sound of it breaking echoed sharply, causing Ingrid to flinch in fear."I told you to stop pretending in front of me! You have three seconds to get back to your room. Don't show your face around me!" he shoute
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
