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
Walking on the snow-covered ground was a struggle as one foot would be deep in snow, while the other was on the surface. However, it was pure joy for Miranda. As soon as the sky brightened, she rushed downstairs to play in the snow for several days in a row. Ever since Paul went to the lab that da
"It smells amazing…" As soon as Paul stepped into the house, he was greeted by a rich aroma of something baking. Miranda walked out of the kitchen with a smile. She held a slice of rum cake on a plate in her hands. "Your nose is quite sharp, huh?""It smells too good. How could I not smell it?""T
"Just some daily necessities." Miranda's reaction was quick, and she hesitated for only two seconds. Sam's gaze sharpened, and his lips pressed into a thin line. The shipping label on the topmost parcel in the shopping bag gave nothing away, but the word "Durex" was printed on the packing tape wra
Miranda turned and left the alley. She headed toward the supermarket happily. Apart from fresh vegetables and fruits, she also bought butter, heavy cream, flour, and other baking ingredients. She planned to use up those bottles of fresh milk just in time before they expired. On her way home, Miran
After a long silence, Fiona finally spoke again. "Sam, you should think things through carefully before saying them. Once they're said, words can never be taken back.""I know, but I still want to say them," Sam replied. "You say you like Miranda, but what about her? Does she like you?" Fiona's wi
Paul really was a better man than him.At this thought, Hansel lowered his gaze and smiled self-mockingly. It served him right."This is karma," he thought. Hansel wasn't the only one staring blankly out the window, lost in thought. There was also… Sam. The glaring words on his phone screen felt l
Miranda posted nine photos on her social media with a caption, "From my boyfriend."She was frustrated. Why was she restricted to only nine photos on her feed? If she posted more than nine, it would turn into a video automatically. If she could, she would have posted 90 photos. After all, they were
As soon as Miranda stepped out of the building, she swept her gaze across the vast stretch of white snow and saw a man dressed in a down jacket. Paul turned to Miranda with a smile the moment he heard the sound of footsteps. Stunned, Miranda exclaimed in surprise, "Paul? When did you come downstai
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
