Lilian thought, "Fine. I'll give you the massage. If anything goes wrong, it isn't my fault anyway. You're the one asking for it."Then, she said, "Okay. Please lie down."Ingrid reclined on the couch. "You only get things done when you're being threatened. Looks like you only learn the hard way. Ho
After turning off the water and putting on a bathrobe, Hansel swiftly twisted the doorknob just as the shadow was about to press against the door. When he pulled it open, he bumped straight into Ingrid."Who let you in here?" His eyes blazed with fury. "I told you this room was off-limits. Can't you

Miranda felt a lump in her throat but understood Christine's words. For Christine, research always came first. She didn't care about the length of her life but rather the depth of the sea of research.Perhaps she would never reach the bottom or might tire out on her path, but that didn't matter. Sh

Sebastian noticed the look of disappointment in Madison's eyes and suddenly said, "Hey, don't we look like two school kids getting punished by the teacher and made to stand outside the classroom?""You're the one who looks like a school kid," Madison retorted."Then… does that make us childhood swee
"Paul, I apologize." Quincey said. "My mom must've been momentarily possessed or something. She looked uneasy the whole time after we got home. She only confessed once my dad and I noticed something was off. "So, I rushed over to return the bangle. Thankfully, I made it in time. Please help me pass
Paul didn't look particularly surprised when he heard that. He simply said calmly, "Wasn't that the whole point of you giving the gold bangle? Shouldn't you be pleased that Mrs. Jenny showed interest in your gift?""You—" Susan's eyes widened in shock. She was so angry that she couldn't speak. "Pau
"Mom's a woman herself," Lionel said. "She knows more than anyone that the bride will be taken lightly if her family submits to the groom's family even before the wedding happens. "Besides, Leonard and Rena treated her well over the years. They bought her anything she wanted, including gold and sil
Quincey was getting a little impatient while waiting for Jenny at the entrance of Delish restaurant. She kept pressing her phone screen to check the time. "What's taking Mom so long?"Meanwhile, Harold was smoking at the bottom of the steps. He had only gotten through half a cigarette, so he wasn't
"You should go ahead and accept the gift," Susan said. "I prepared them for everyone. They're just little trinkets to wear for fun."Jenny clicked her tongue. A trinket? For fun?Those were truly words worthy of a wealthy lady. It was amazing how generous she was. However, Jenny still had a shred o
Susan remained silent for the rest of the meal. She only concentrated on eating the food in front of her. Jenny, kept in check by Harold, didn't cause any more scenes, either. As the meal was nearing its end, several waiters suddenly entered the private room. Each one was elegantly dressed and wor
"What Mrs. Jenny said earlier made a lot of sense," Paul said. I've taken your words to heart."Then, he turned to Mindy and Lionel. "Please rest assured, Mr. and Mrs. Sutton. I know how lucky I am to have met Miranda. I'll always put her first, cherish her, and take full responsibility as her boyfr
"Mrs. Jefferson, this toast is to welcome you to Lumberville!" Jenny exclaimed. "You should go around and explore while you're here. There's quite a bit of beautiful scenery in this city. "I would also like to thank you for your hospitality. You treated our entire family with such wonderful food an
