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,"
On Saturday, the skies finally cleared after two full days of continuous rain. With the arrival of winter, the temperature in Jandersville dropped drastically. The heat of the scorching summer was gone, leaving behind the biting cold and fierce winds. Miranda bundled herself in a thick down coat,
At that time, they had just started dating. It was clear Miranda hadn't yet adjusted to having a boyfriend. Initially, Hansel had been furious, his anger burning within him. He had never waited for anyone in his life. Other people had always been the ones waiting for him. However, his anger had va
Hansel had suddenly turned up. Before Miranda could rush over to him happily, he had given an order, and a group of bodyguards had stormed into the estate. They had pulled up all the flower buds she had carefully planted by the roots!Hansel had exploded in anger. "I told you not to bother planting
Miranda spoke about their past so lightly, as if everything now was completely irrelevant and unrelated to her life. Hansel felt a deep frustration and helplessness. It seemed like the harder he tried to grasp at sand, the faster it slipped through his fingers. Back then, he had brought his men an
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
