Yasmine was also afraid of getting hit, so her eyes darted nervously toward Madison. Given Madison's size, Yasmine couldn't help but think about how painful it would be if she swung at someone.So, she quickly shoved Hank forward and exclaimed, "How dare you hide behind me!"He stared at her, speech
Miranda's gaze turned icy as she slapped Tina.The sound of that slap silenced the entire room.Even Tina was dumbfounded. "You— How dare you hit me!""Why wouldn't I?" Miranda shot back. She added, "You insulted me first, and I'm just trying to stand up for myself. We're in college, not your home.
Miranda said, "Fighting and causing trouble are two different things. Yes, we fought, but let's not forget who started it. The administration might back Sophie, but the college might have a different view."According to the usual investigation process, they have to understand the cause before the co
Miranda knew she could count on Paul to back her up. She said, "You've already handed over your keys. I'm definitely not giving up mine.""Why not?" Madison asked."Come on, think. If we hand over all the keys, how are we supposed to get the CPRT measuring device out? Are we going to break in?" Mad
Not only had Miranda thought about it, but she was already taking action. Of course, she couldn't tell Joli that. Instead, she said, "Where there's a will, there's a way. We'll figure it out.""Then, I wish you all the best," he replied and turned to leave."Joli!" Suddenly, she called after him. "S
Tina stormed into the house, slamming the door behind her. "Martha! Get me an ice pack!" she shouted.Evelyn looked up in confusion. "An ice pack? In this cold weather?""Mom, did you know I got hit today?" Tina screamed."What!" Evelyn's voice shot up, her face turning furious. "Who hit you? Who'd

Yale said, "Like damn. Nobody saw that coming. That was a big one—Vaughn Quaker's inheritance just dropped right into their lap.""Yeah." Alex nodded. As someone in the industry, he'd heard a few rumors. "I heard that Vaughn Quaker divorced his ex-wife decades ago. He was head over heels for his cu
Felix found it hard to believe Susan had softened her stance like this—Alex and Yale were even more shocked.Yale felt a twinge of bitterness since his mother had never given in like this for him.At her words, Paul's expression eased slightly. "…I was a little impatient that day too."Susan finally
Susan was momentarily speechless. Felix tried to convince her. "You agreed to call Paul to come home for dinner today, didn't you? Wasn't the whole point of this meal for you two to talk things out and clear up the misunderstandings? To mend the relationship?"He then sighed. "But look at you. The
There was a street food market right outside the guesthouse. The five of them strolled from one end to the other. By the time they made their way back, the sun was setting. The sunset painted the sky a vibrant orange with wispy clouds drifting lazily around the warm glow. "It's getting dark. Shall
Santiago lowered his voice as well, copying her. "Emi, you just touched my hand…"Emilia was at a loss for words. Two days before departure, she had requested a change of team members from the college administration. But somehow, Santiago had caught wind of it in advance. Before the administration

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
