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
As Evelyn recalled running into Miranda and her family earlier that day, she found herself staring at the crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling.She murmured, almost inaudibly, "If I had known things would turn out this way, I might have been better off accepting Miranda back then…"At least M
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
