Evelyn said, "For our family, we only have you and Hansel as grandchildren. How can we compare to your uncles? We'll definitely be at a disadvantage if the inheritance is distributed according to the number of people within the family. "If you or your brother had a child, he or she would also be co
Evelyn sputtered, "What?" "If you're not pregnant, why are you drinking the chicken soup? It doesn't seem right to compete with a pregnant woman for food, right?" Ingrid asked. "There's a whole pot of soup. Do you think you can finish it all by yourself?" Evelyn thought Ingrid must not be in her r
Evelyn's head throbbed with frustration as she watched Ingrid reject the soup she had boiled for the entire morning. "That's lentil soup, and I added some beans. It's good for the baby." "It might be good for the baby, but not for the pregnant mother, right? Can't you see the thick layer of oil flo
A tall figure walked out as Christine finished speaking. Miranda was stunned when she saw who it was. Christine said, "Let me introduce you to Sam Cooper, Dr. Sanchez's student."Sam extended his hand to Miranda with a smile. "Miranda, nice to meet you." "You're Dr. Sanchez's student?" Miranda as
In reality, Sam wasn't much help in the kitchen.Not only were his actions clumsy, but he also squeezed dish soap onto every single plate and bowl. When Miranda gave him a pointed look, he asked innocently, "Isn't this how you're supposed to wash them?" Miranda was at a loss for words. Sam cleared
Miranda suddenly remembered that Sandy had once mentioned there was a pervert who lurked around Bedford College. He loved to follow female students around, especially at night. A female student had already been assaulted by him, yet they still hadn't caught the perpetrator despite having reported i
Sam suggested, "Maybe things like… You're so handsome, I'm head over heels for you, let's give dating a try, or be my boyfriend…"Miranda laughed. "All your suggestions are more conceited than the last.""My best quality is that I dare to dream, and I put it to action." Miranda quipped, "Then, you'
It was Joe, Hansel's assistant. He said that Hansel had left a very important document in the study and had instructed him to retrieve it. Evelyn hurriedly led Joe to the study since it was a matter of business confidentiality, and the request was urgent. "Is this the one?" she asked. Joe replied
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
