"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
Madison didn't know Paul or his relationship with Miranda, but that didn't matter to her. Still, nothing could hold back her urge to vent her frustrations.After lunch, Miranda, Madison, and Sebastian returned to the lab.Madison placed her hands on her hips and sighed. "The lab is spacious, but it'
Sam's expression finally softened. "Mr. Banks, you never let anyone down. That's why I prefer collaborating with you over the other directors and deans in this college.""I'm deeply grateful for your support, Mr. Cooper," Joseph replied.As Sam stood to leave, Joseph personally escorted him to the d
"What is that?""Looks like some kind of lab equipment! And it's being delivered by foreign engineers!""Do you think they're just delivering it? After it's installed, they'll need to test it as well.""I remember this lab wasn't used before. How did such expensive equipment show up all of a sudden?
Theodore hadn't yet started working on any research projects, so he didn't fully understand what made this equipment so special. But seeing Joli's expression, he couldn't help but glance at it a few more times."Is it expensive, Joli?"Joli nodded. "Very expensive.""How much does it cost?""More th
Miranda explained the situation briefly. There was sudden silence on the other end of the line. "Calvin, are you still there?" she asked."Yes, I'm here," he replied. "Now that you mention it, I just remembered something.""What is it?""Zach would always bring up Winter whenever he came out to ha
Miranda contacted Winter's mother, Natalie. She didn't dare to say that Winter was uncontactable, so she could only probe indirectly to see if Natalie knew anything about Winter's recent whereabouts. "You want to invite her to go skiing at Mount Glacier? Well, I don't think she'll be free before C
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
