Miranda nodded. "It's no trouble.""Thank you."As soon as Paul stepped inside, the cool air hit him. It was a stark contrast to the heat in his own home. Since it wasn't his first time in her apartment, Paul casually changed into a pair of house slippers while Miranda went to get him a glass of wat
Paul emerged from her bathroom. The bathroom door was facing directly toward the coat rack, leaving the two of them no chance to avoid each other. Their gazes met instantly!Paul was holding onto the clothes he had just changed out of. His hair was still wet, water dripping down his hair and soakin
It wasn't the first time they had worked together. Paul washed the vegetables and helped out with chores, waiting for Miranda's instructions. Meanwhile, Miranda was in charge of chopping and cooking. Soon, four dishes and a bowl of soup were served at the table. They sat across from each other. Pa
"Yeah," Paul answered."Are you still going for a run in the evening?""I am. Should we run together?""Sure!"They both returned home to change into sportswear. Then, they met up downstairs and started running. The sun had set, and the sky was slowly darkening, enveloping the earth in dark shadows
Paul answered, "Not yet.""Oh… I see! You're still pursuing her, right?"Paul didn't respond, so the other guys took his silence as affirmation. "How long have you two known each other?"Paul pondered for a moment. "Over a year.""Wow, it's been that long, and you still haven't won her over? What's
He continued, "Once you do that, she will feel that you're a reliable guy. Then, she will let go of her concerns and trust you enough to fall in love! Get it?"Paul thought that the suggestions made sense, except for one thing that he didn't quite agree with. Tripping and ending up in a kiss or dire
At this moment, Miranda was already on the bullet train back to Lumberville. Her grandmother, Anna, was celebrating her 80th birthday. The three brothers of the Sutton family decided to throw a big party for her to celebrate. Naturally, the younger members of the family, including Miranda, were req
Jenny said, "I've got thick skin and am not easily affected by criticism, but I'm just worried about what those relatives will say. They'll ask how come I live in such a nice neighborhood but don't even have a washing machine. "What should I say then? That we're broke? Or that my parents helped out
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
"Sam is getting better at taking care of others," Fiona teased, chuckling. "When are you going to bring home a granddaughter-in-law for us?"Sam nearly choked on his food and coughed lightly. "Grandma, where did that come from?"Fiona immediately straightened up. "Do you think I'm joking? I'm seriou
After Miranda finished with her drink, Paul took the glass and placed it aside. Exhausted, she lay back down on the bed. Soon, Paul lifted the covers and slid beside her. "By the way," Miranda said, "Grandma asked me to visit the estate tomorrow. Do you have time to come with me?""Tomorrow?" Paul
That night, Paul and Miranda were resting against the headboard on the bed after washing up. One was reading a book, while the other was scrolling on her phone when they started discussing the matter. Miranda asked, "So, the Lancets decided to let it go just like that?"Paul replied, "What else? Th
By the end, Yolanda was nearly shouting. Alex met her gaze directly and shattered her denial with the calmest tone he could muster, "The DNA test report confirmed it. He is indeed my son.""You… you…" Yolanda couldn't even form a coherent sentence. It took her a long time to steady herself. She to
