"Lizzy?" Bryan called out once more."What's the matter?""You were just talking to a real estate agent, right? Are you looking for a place to rent?"Elizabeth panicked. She snapped angrily to avoid more questions from Bryan, "Why do you ask so many questions? What does it have to do with you?"Brya
As Winter recalled that night she got drunk, she blushed and rubbed her nose. "It's all my mom's fault. She insisted I go to the young adult mixer, but it turned out to be a matchmaking event." She felt those young men and women at the event seemed like products lined up for selection. Natalie had
Paul, Miranda, and Winter stepped out of the restaurant."Paul, you're so popular. You were surrounded by a bunch of seniors, just like fans do around their favorite idol," Winter remarked."Idol?""Oh, it means celebrity," she replied.Paul chuckled. "It's just for practical reasons. I'm not a cele
After dropping Miranda and Paul off, Winter drove to the bar. The ride was smooth. But just as she was about to park at the bar entrance, a Maserati zipped in from the side and slammed into her rear.Winter was furious. She slammed her door and marched to the front of the other vehicle. "What the he
After Mira finished speaking, she turned and walked away in her high heels.Zach chuckled and dismissed her words with a scoff. He found the idea of unrequited love laughable.After she left, a young woman in a plaid mini-skirt stepped out of the bar. Her long, fair legs were exposed, and her curly
Zach had a more comprehensive network than Alexander.Winter studied Zach, who seemed so confident, and her gaze turned skeptical. "Are you sure you want to talk about collaboration with me?"Zack replied, "Of course. But why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I can't handle it?"She size
"Where's the security? Someone stop them now," someone from the front desk said.In the chaos, Lucy dropped the pretense and shouted at the top of her lungs. "Where's Evelyn Stewart? I'm looking for her. Get her out here now!"She and her son, Franklin York, had arrived in Elgerson two days ago. The
The commotion in the lobby quickly caught the attention of the ladies gathered in the private room. They saw Evelyn being yanked by the hair while Lucy had her in a furious grip and shouted insults.This was about to get interesting. The ladies looked at each other and exchanged knowing glances.See
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
