To be precise, Phoebe and Maggie were watching Winter and Zach from upstairs.Phoebe said, "Look at them. They're so sweet."Maggie remarked, "I've never seen Mr. Zach this proactive with any girl before."Phoebe replied, "Winter isn't just any woman. Regardless of her background or upbringing, she
Miranda glanced at Paul's door and noticed it was still locked, just as it had been for the past few days. It suddenly struck her that she hadn't seen him in quite some time.They used to leave at the same time and often ran into each other, but lately, she hadn't seen him at all. She figured he was
Silas glanced at Paul. "You haven't been yourself lately. What's going on?""You've got it wrong," Paul replied, turning toward the drawing room. He carried a bag of clean clothes and intended to store them in the cabinet inside that room.As he pushed the door open, his gaze landed on the folding b
Noticing Sebastian scrutinizing him, Sam met his gaze with a sharpened expression. "Please take a seat.""Thanks."Madison and Sebastian sat beside Miranda.Sam called the server and said, "Bring two sets of utensils and ask the kitchen to prepare two more dishes.""Sure. Any specific requests?"Sam
"Habits can change," Miranda said.Sam replied, "That may be true for others, but I don't wish to change for you."She was rendered speechless.…After leaving the restaurant, Miranda, Madison, and Sebastian walked together in the same direction. Madison pulled out her phone and was ready to call a
Hansel's fist landed against Sam's cheek with a dull thud. Just as he was about to throw another punch, Sam grabbed his collar and yanked him forward with enough force to topple him.Taking advantage of the moment, Sam stepped back to distance himself. He winced as he rubbed his sore cheekbone. "Han
When Hansel and Sam turned to look, they couldn't see Miranda.Zach shrugged. "If I hadn't said that, would you two have stopped fighting?"Hansel was lost for words while Sam tightened his lips.Zach continued, "Is it too much to ask for adults to handle this maturely instead of resorting to childi
Paul quickly typed a reply but hesitated. After a moment's thought, he decided it was better to head home. Since it was Sunday, he thought Miranda should be at home."Silas, I'm leaving now. Three sets of data are about to be released, so please keep an eye on them."As he turned to go, Silas called
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
Since Paul had arrived, Fiona invited everyone to head to the dining room. Sam caught up to him and said dryly, "Dr. Jefferson, you seem quite free today."Paul replied, "It's the end of the year, so both the college and the labs are starting their holiday break. Perhaps the only ones still busy at
Sam brought his laptop to the living room and sat cross-legged in front of the coffee table. The thick wool carpet and the warmth of the heater kept the winter chill at bay. He began working in an orderly manner. From the business department to branding, then over to finance and human resources… E
