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
Ingrid furiously marched to her room and slammed the door shut.Martha had just woken up the following morning and was still in her sleepwear when she heard Ingrid yelling from upstairs."Bring me to the hospital now."Martha's lips twitched. Last time, she had been flustered and genuinely worried.
Evelyn knew Hansel didn't want to keep Ingrid's baby. Moreover, Richard wasn't aware of the matter, and she was reluctant to tell him. She had a nagging feeling that he wouldn't support her decision to keep the baby. After all, Richard and Hansel were both cold-hearted, each more ruthless than the
Ingrid was eating a slice of orange when Ingrid informed her of the prenatal class. She immediately refused, "Mrs. Johnson, I've been feeling unwell lately. With constant trips to the hospital, I just can't handle any prenatal classes at the moment."She still remembered the grievances and criticism
Ingrid wanted to focus on her pregnancy and Hansel. Since she would marry into the Johnson family, she figured graduating from university seemed irrelevant.On Monday, she handed in her application to withdraw from university. She cited illness as her reason so that the approval process wouldn't tak
Ingrid wasn't her same old self. Her old items just didn't suit her anymore. "Look through these things. If you find anything useful, take it. If not, please help me get rid of the rest.""Huh? You don't want them?""Yeah," Ingrid replied.Her roommates were speechless.Ingrid returned to her dormit
After returning from the Garrison estate, Miranda finally learned that Paul had actually abandoned his work at the lab midway just to have dinner with her family."Dr. Jefferson, please come to the lab tomorrow to continue authorizing the access permissions." Esme's flat and emotionless voice came t
Paul had arrived quickly. During dinner, he had beaten Sam to it when he tried to sit next to Miranda. Sam had tried to take the seat on the opposite side, but Fiona had cut in and taken that seat before he could. …"So were you deliberately stalling him when you said the remote was broken before t
Aren couldn't understand it. "Why are you in such a rush? Sam has been single for quite some time, and you've never reacted this strongly before."Of all things, she wanted to set up a blind date."You… you're not sleepwalking, right?" Aren asked cautiously. Fiona turned to glare at him immediately
"Huh? Why didn't I hear Sam start his car? Has he left? Let me take a look…" Aren muttered as he walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and peered out. "I knew it! His car is still there. He didn't leave at all. Could his car be stuck in the snow? That doesn't make sense… It hasn't been snowing long
The night was dark and silent as the heavy snow fell. Inside the estate, Fiona glanced out the window. "Oh, it looks like it's snowing outside," she said. Sam remained indifferent as it snowed every year in Elgerson. To him.. Or rather, snow was nothing special to anyone who grew up in Elgerson.
Aren nodded. "That works too. Sam, you don't need to send them off then. Head home and rest early."Sam remained silent. Before long, a maid came in and reported, "Both boxes have been loaded into Dr. Jefferson's car."Paul bid farewell to the elderly couple. "Mr. and Mrs. Garrison Senior, we'll he
Miranda was completely unaware of what was happening at the chessboard. At that moment, she was sitting on the couch and watching a dating reality show with Fiona. Yes, a dating show. In Fiona's own words, she said, "I just love watching young people fall in love. If I happen to find a couple I li
Since Paul had arrived, Fiona invited everyone to head to the dining room. Sam caught up to him and said dryly, "Dr. Jefferson, you seem quite free today."Paul replied, "It's the end of the year, so both the college and the labs are starting their holiday break. Perhaps the only ones still busy at
Sam brought his laptop to the living room and sat cross-legged in front of the coffee table. The thick wool carpet and the warmth of the heater kept the winter chill at bay. He began working in an orderly manner. From the business department to branding, then over to finance and human resources… E
