"It's funny in a certain way." Sam replied.Miranda had to admit he really knew how to twist things in his favor.Sam's smile faded as he suddenly turned serious, "Alright, tell me—what happened? Why did you have to see him? Is there something you need from him?"Miranda raised an eyebrow, feeling a
A flicker of something dark passed through Paul's eyes.Sam said, "I heard you're usually very busy, Dr. Jefferson, spending most of your time in the lab. You seem to be home quite early today.""Heard?" Paul asked coolly. "Who told you that?"Paul had a lecture that day, covering a course for the F
Raul laughed. "I wouldn't call it wisdom, but I do have some experience.""I'd like to hear it," Hansel said. Raul sat in the chair next to him and began speaking slowly, "Like they said, keep things stable at home and enjoy some excitement on the side."At home, you need a woman to take care of al
Miranda eventually agreed. It was solely because Hansel agreed to sign the consent letter; there was no other reason. Hansel's lips curled into a smile, and he handed the phone back to Martha before going upstairs cheerfully.Holding the phone in her hand, Martha couldn't help but sigh. It had bee
After saying that, Miranda strode onto campus, leaving Hansel with a bitter smile.He muttered, "I never thought about doing anything like that… Am I really that terrible in your eyes?"Miranda went to class first. After class, she headed to the lab with Madison and Sebastian.There were still five
"Damn it!" Hank grabbed his foot, hopping around in pain. As he jumped, he let out a series of yelps.Miranda put on a look of surprise. "Oh, I'm so sorry. My hand slipped. But I'm sure getting hit is not a big deal to you because of your thick skin, right?"Seeing this, Madison turned and picked up
"I didn't have time to exercise during the day, so I'm running a bit more tonight," Paul replied.Miranda stood at the same step and waited for him to catch up with her, and then they continued walking up together. "Thanks for your help today. If it weren't for you, we would have been kicked out,"

Their noses touched, their breaths intertwining. Naturally, their lips met as well. At first, Paul's kisses were gentle and warm, like the soft glow of the spring sun. But soon, it became more urgent, more demanding, as if he needed more of her. By the end, his kisses crashed over her like a fierc
"Hey, Dr. Quimby. They've already left. Why are you still staring?" Santiago asked.Emilia withdrew her gaze and retorted, "It's none of your business."Santiago wasn't offended at all and continued smiling. "What's so interesting about watching other people in love anyway? Experiencing it yourself
Madison immediately reached for the door of the cab. "Wait… Miranda hasn't gotten in yet!"Sebastian sighed helplessly. "Dr. Jefferson is here. Do you really think Miranda won't have a ride?""Oh!" Madison finally understood. She glanced out the window and, sure enough, there was a parked SUV behind
"By the way, how's your family?" Miranda suddenly asked.Emilia was completely caught off guard. After a long pause, she finally spoke. "How do you know?""I heard from the pea… I mean, Santiago."Emilia's grandmother had been hospitalized recently. Her father had passed away years ago from liver ci
That night, Emilia couldn't sleep. She tossed and turned in bed before finally giving up. She spent the entire night researching everything about Miranda, including her résumé, research direction, and thesis publications…By the time she finished, Emilia had no choice but to admit that Miranda was t
Miranda remarked, "Dr. Vain, do you have a cramp in your eyebrow?"Santiago smirked. "Mimi, you do this every time. Oh, I get it. You actually like this kind of banter, don't you?"Miranda mentally rolled her eyes. Paul was way better at this game.She replied, "I've said this many times before. Ple
Santiago's expression twisted in disbelief. "No… How could you do this?"Harvold was surprised. What did he do?"How could you just open the gate for them so easily?" Santiago demanded."I didn't simply do it," Harvold replied. "Didn't you bring them here the first time?""That was just once! I didn
Miranda asked, "Dr. Vain, did you trip over your tongue?"Santiago was surprised at her reply. She continued, "No, you may not. Please just call me by my given name. Thank you."With that, she packed up her laptop and strode out of the classroom. Santiago stood rooted to the spot, rubbing his nose
