Done with his words, Hansel also left. After already being scolded by her husband and now blamed by her son, Evelyn almost exploded with anger."What's wrong with both of you? How can you both blame me? Everything I did was for you! None of you understand my intentions! Go ahead, leave—just leave! D
What kind of sincerity are you talking about?" Evelyn gritted her teeth as she asked.The angrier Evelyn got, the more Lucy enjoyed herself."You're eager to settle this quickly and move on; I get it. But my son and I have been in Elgerson for almost two weeks now. We've been staying in the hospital
Two days later, Evelyn indeed received a call from Lucy. However, it wasn't to ask for money."…What did you just say?"Lucy replied, "Take me and my son to that hotel where you and the other wealthy ladies had your gathering last time for afternoon tea. What's the problem?"Evelyn resisted the urge
Two hours later, Lucy and Franklin emerged from the mall, laden with shopping bags.Suddenly, Lucy exclaimed, "Oh no! I forgot to buy a necklace! Come on, let's go back…"With his hands full and legs aching from all the walking, Franklin groaned, "Mom, maybe we should call it a day? We're already ca
Lucy complained a bit more. She didn't understand any of it, so she wasn't interested. What she saw was merely a huge crowd, packed tight."Let's go, let's go, let's get out of here," she urged.Evelyn smirked sarcastically, ready to leave with them, when she suddenly spotted a familiar figure.Mira
As the crowd gradually dispersed, Miranda's group prepared to head to the next exhibit hall. As they turned around, they found themselves face-to-face with Evelyn."Whoa!" Winter said exaggeratedly.Miranda kept her expression neutral and calmly looked away. To her, Evelyn was now just another stran
Miranda quickly linked arms with her mother and said, "Since you're out and about, I wanted to treat you to something special."Mindy chuckled and decided not to spoil the moment. But when Lionel entered and saw the menu, he almost jumped out of his seat."This… this… The cheapest steak is over a hu
After finishing their meal, Winter received a phone call and had to leave first, while Miranda took her parents back home. Despite being tired from a whole day of walking, Lionel remained energetic as he scrolled through the photos on his phone."Let me tell you about this golden enamel plate… and t
"By the way, how's your family?" Miranda suddenly asked.Emilia was completely caught off guard. After a long pause, she finally spoke. "How do you know?""I heard from the pea… I mean, Santiago."Emilia's grandmother had been hospitalized recently. Her father had passed away years ago from liver ci
That night, Emilia couldn't sleep. She tossed and turned in bed before finally giving up. She spent the entire night researching everything about Miranda, including her résumé, research direction, and thesis publications…By the time she finished, Emilia had no choice but to admit that Miranda was t
Miranda remarked, "Dr. Vain, do you have a cramp in your eyebrow?"Santiago smirked. "Mimi, you do this every time. Oh, I get it. You actually like this kind of banter, don't you?"Miranda mentally rolled her eyes. Paul was way better at this game.She replied, "I've said this many times before. Ple
Santiago's expression twisted in disbelief. "No… How could you do this?"Harvold was surprised. What did he do?"How could you just open the gate for them so easily?" Santiago demanded."I didn't simply do it," Harvold replied. "Didn't you bring them here the first time?""That was just once! I didn
Miranda asked, "Dr. Vain, did you trip over your tongue?"Santiago was surprised at her reply. She continued, "No, you may not. Please just call me by my given name. Thank you."With that, she packed up her laptop and strode out of the classroom. Santiago stood rooted to the spot, rubbing his nose
Despite Santiago's flamboyant demeanor, he was still competent at his job. At the very least, his training content was useful. Miranda listened attentively to his lecture. Even Madison eventually stopped nitpicking, despite complaining about him the whole time. Santiago ended the class at 5:30 pm,
Although Madison was annoyed, she had to admit that Emilia was right. She could complain all she wanted—after she finished the task. Emilia straightened her expression and began asking questions. Perhaps Madison's emotions hadn't fully calmed down yet. She answered the questions with imprecise term
At 9:00 am, Miranda, Madison and Sebastian arrived at the classroom right on time.But by 9:30 am, Emilia still hadn't shown up.Madison couldn't help but grumble, "Seriously? Don't tell me she took another day off. She's the one who kept nagging us to be on time—where is she?"Sebastian frowned.Mi
Madison hesitated for a few seconds but couldn't hold back. "Dr. Quimby knows the rules better than anyone. So, why break them?"Miranda watched Emilia disappear into the distance, lost in thought.That evening, they skipped the cup noodles. The convenience store had better options—corn dogs, fruit
