Paul stood by the elevator on the third floor, seemingly ready to go downstairs to look for someone.Following a chime, the elevator doors opened, and Miranda stepped out."Dr. Jefferson," she greeted."Where'd you go?""Where are you headed?" They both asked at the same time, though their tones we
When they arrived at the restaurant, the server led the four of them directly to a private room. They ordered the dishes, set up the barbecue, and started cooking.True to Madison's enthusiastic recommendation, the flavors were indeed delicious, and the ingredients were fresh, but the spiciness was
"All done," Paul said.Miranda moved her neck and shook her head a bit. To her surprise, the hairpin felt quite secure, with no sign of coming loose."Hey! Your boyfriend learned that really quickly! Looks like he even did a better job than me!" the vendor said cheerfully.Paul gave a small smile.M
"Really, there's no need," Paul hesitated for a moment before continuing, "I already have someone I like.""What!" Lionel's eyes lit up. "Really? Have you confessed? Why aren't you two together yet?"The barrage of questions hit Paul hard, and he fell silent, thinking he should've just kept quiet.T
Mindy had said, "If you're not sure what to eat, go for the most expensive. Price may not mean everything, but it does show a level of sincerity." As expected, when Zach heard the name of the restaurant, he raised an eyebrow. But after a moment of thought, it didn't surprise him. Since they were ho
Thinking back to the recent chaos at Hansel's company caused by Ingrid's mother and her troublemaker brother, Zach couldn't help but click his tongue.He thought, thank goodness the child was no longer in the picture; otherwise, Evelyn might have been sobbing her heart out in the restroom by now.Ju
All three of them had been drinking, so they each pulled out their phones to call for a driver once they were outside. While waiting, Calvin felt the urge to smoke. He put a cigarette in his mouth but realized he couldn't find his lighter.He asked Zach for one, who pointed to the back seat of his c
"What?" Calvin paused, not fully understanding."When I broke up with Miranda, did I make a mistake?" Hansel asked, his voice tinged with regret."Hans," Calvin said, looking at him with a mix of pity and exasperation. "Are you only now realizing this?"Hansel was at a loss for words."Miranda is an
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
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
