Mindy was notoriously bad with directions. It wasn't just in this big garden; she often got lost even in small, unfamiliar alleyways."Mom, how did you find the way?" Miranda asked, puzzled.Mindy seemed momentarily stumped by the question. "I… I'm not sure. I just had a feeling that we should go th
When Minnie disappeared, she was already 22 years old. Even if she had been unable to control her situation back then, after more than 20 years, she would surely have found a way to contact her parents if she were still alive.But there had been nothing—not a single call, not even a message. Yet the
Nelly stared at the disconnected phone, seething with rage. She flipped over the tray in front of her, spilling the freshly blended smoothie onto the floor. The glass shattered on the tiles, producing a sharp cracking sound."Mrs. Cooper…" The maids looked on, terrified."Get out! All of you, get ou
"Hah... Of course, I do. You all blame me for that incident. Dad, Mom, and you!"You all think that back then, when Minnie and I went out, it's my burden to bear because she disappeared while I came back, right?" Nelly's voice cracked with bitterness. "You all wish I hadn't come back, that I'd died
As they passed by the shop, Mindy suddenly stopped and mentioned that she wanted to have some castella. Miranda glanced around, noticing that the shop looked quite old-fashioned, with outdated décor and no promotional posters.One had to walk all the way inside to see the menu of pastries listed on
Miranda asked, "Would you like to try some castella? I can get you a piece."Fiona was about to respond when Sam's phone rang. Whatever he heard on the other end made his expression turn cold immediately."Alright, I understand. Keep the situation under control. I'll get there as soon as I can," he
After visiting the garden and enjoying the castella, Mindy felt completely satisfied. The next day, she and Lionel headed back to Lumberville. Miranda had accompanied them to the train station.Upon hearing the news, Warren rushed over. "Ms. Harrison, these are letters from your fans sent to the pub
As they passed through the home essentials section, Paul paused and asked, "Do you need anything from here?"Miranda remembered that she was running low on both body wash and laundry detergent. "Yes, I do," she replied.While she was picking out the body wash, Paul was also adding items to the cart.
Sebastian noticed the look of disappointment in Madison's eyes and suddenly said, "Hey, don't we look like two school kids getting punished by the teacher and made to stand outside the classroom?""You're the one who looks like a school kid," Madison retorted."Then… does that make us childhood swee
"Paul, I apologize." Quincey said. "My mom must've been momentarily possessed or something. She looked uneasy the whole time after we got home. She only confessed once my dad and I noticed something was off. "So, I rushed over to return the bangle. Thankfully, I made it in time. Please help me pass
Paul didn't look particularly surprised when he heard that. He simply said calmly, "Wasn't that the whole point of you giving the gold bangle? Shouldn't you be pleased that Mrs. Jenny showed interest in your gift?""You—" Susan's eyes widened in shock. She was so angry that she couldn't speak. "Pau
"Mom's a woman herself," Lionel said. "She knows more than anyone that the bride will be taken lightly if her family submits to the groom's family even before the wedding happens. "Besides, Leonard and Rena treated her well over the years. They bought her anything she wanted, including gold and sil
Quincey was getting a little impatient while waiting for Jenny at the entrance of Delish restaurant. She kept pressing her phone screen to check the time. "What's taking Mom so long?"Meanwhile, Harold was smoking at the bottom of the steps. He had only gotten through half a cigarette, so he wasn't
"You should go ahead and accept the gift," Susan said. "I prepared them for everyone. They're just little trinkets to wear for fun."Jenny clicked her tongue. A trinket? For fun?Those were truly words worthy of a wealthy lady. It was amazing how generous she was. However, Jenny still had a shred o
Susan remained silent for the rest of the meal. She only concentrated on eating the food in front of her. Jenny, kept in check by Harold, didn't cause any more scenes, either. As the meal was nearing its end, several waiters suddenly entered the private room. Each one was elegantly dressed and wor
"What Mrs. Jenny said earlier made a lot of sense," Paul said. I've taken your words to heart."Then, he turned to Mindy and Lionel. "Please rest assured, Mr. and Mrs. Sutton. I know how lucky I am to have met Miranda. I'll always put her first, cherish her, and take full responsibility as her boyfr
"Mrs. Jefferson, this toast is to welcome you to Lumberville!" Jenny exclaimed. "You should go around and explore while you're here. There's quite a bit of beautiful scenery in this city. "I would also like to thank you for your hospitality. You treated our entire family with such wonderful food an
