After hearing that Susan didn't need a ride, Natalie stopped insisting and told the driver to leave.Miranda was waiting for her ride outside the hotel. She greeted everyone who approached her. Natalie knew Miranda had someone coming to get her, so she didn't arrange a ride for her.Paul, who was al
The night was dark and quiet. The only sounds were the keyboards tapping and the handling of lab equipment.Paul glanced over to see Miranda diligently recording data. The light illuminated her face and cast a faint shadow from the bridge of her nose.He had always worked late alone, sometimes even
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
Evelyn sighed in relief upon hearing that. "It's good that it's nothing serious. Does she need to take any medication?"The doctor shook his head. "The patient's health is fine. There's no need for medication. Just take her home and let her rest."Evelyn pursed her lips and realized that Ingrid was
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
Miranda blinked in confusion. She wondered if Matthew didn't have any conscience.After dozing off for an hour, she glanced at the clock and realized it was already 8:00 am. She quickly gathered her things and rushed to the lab.Paul noticed she was half an hour late and looked slightly off. "Didn't
Hansel's head was pounding, and his mood grew increasingly irritable. He switched to silence mode and set his phone face down on the table. He said coldly, "Continue."Everyone else kept their eyes on the floor to avoid any stray glances.After the meeting, Hansel returned to his office and glanced
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
