The dishes were ready and brought to the table. Mindy uncorked the red wine, and Miranda was allowed to have a little. However, she ended up drinking two whole glasses!Lionel was too busy talking, and Mindy was focused on the food, so neither of them noticed—except for Paul."Miranda, that's your
Paul was overwhelmed, and he truly felt exhausted."So, Paul, how is it?" Lionel asked eagerly."…It's delicious," Paul replied.Lionel's eyes lit up, feeling like he'd found a kindred spirit, or a long-lost soulmate. "If you like it, have more! And try this black-pepper beef, with my special homema
Miranda had completely forgotten that part of her memory. All she remembered was Lionel telling her to walk Paul out, and she did…Then what?Nothing. That was all.When she woke up again, it was the next morning. She stretched comfortably in bed, not feeling anything unusual at all.Mindy came in,
The more Evelyn thought about it, the angrier she became. The angrier she got, the more she wanted to go out!"Dan!" she called out to the driver. "Get ready., I'm heading out in 20 minutes.""Yes, ma'am," he replied.Evelyn went upstairs to change and even put on some makeup. By the time she was re
"Mom, Cole found out where that scumbag's company is!" Franklin announced excitedly.Cole Jones was a small-time thug without a proper job, but he was good at underhanded tricks and shady dealings. Franklin hadn't expected much when he asked for help, but to his surprise, Cole actually managed to fi
Seeing this, Franklin immediately felt emboldened. "Why is a worker like you meddling in so much? Just call Hansel out! We have something to discuss with him!"As the pair resorted to their shameless behavior, the assistant frowned even more deeply and was about to call security when Hansel emerged
Hansel came from a privileged background, but his success was the result of his own hard work that was built step by step. He'd encountered plenty of people like Lucy and Franklin before—those who put on an act of righteousness but were really just looking to squeeze out as much money as possible d
"You don't know a damn thing!" Lucy sneered. "What can you do with 500 thousand nowadays? You can't even buy a luxury car! Is that all you aspire to?""But… if we ask for a lower amount, at least we'd get 500 thousand easily," Franklin muttered."Idiot! Is that all you aim for? Just look at this bui
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
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
