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
Paul was waiting for her? What for?"Is there something important you need from me?" Miranda immediately became serious."Yes, and I think it's… good news for you.""What is it?" Miranda's eyes sparkled with curiosity. The more Paul teased, the more curious she became."Well, here's the thing…"The
Just as Miranda hesitated, wondering how to put the apron over Paul's neck, he suddenly lowered his head. "Is this low enough?""Maybe a little lower.""How about now?" He bent down further."Yes, perfect." Miranda quickly slipped the apron over his neck.Paul straightened up, waited a moment, and t
"There's no need!" Miranda sat cross-legged on the rug. "This is fine."The soft, plush rug was clearly high-quality. Sitting on it was comfortable, with her back supported by the edge of the bed.If only they had a few snacks and drinks, that would make this perfect.Just as she thought it, Paul wa
From the tone of Miranda's questioning, Jack could almost see a glimpse of his father, Leonard. He wondered how she'd managed all these years alone in Elgerson City.A child with a smooth life wouldn't have this kind of drive, nor would she have the network and means to acquire such a large plot of
Sam frowned, saying impatiently, "So, who are we listening to here—me or you?"The man shrank back, not daring to say another word.The familiar voice caught Miranda's attention, and she instinctively glanced over. Just then, Jack called out to her, "Miranda, come sit over here!"Sam whipped his hea
Miranda just let that random guy pull her away. She even nodded sweetly while saying, "Sure."Sam watched, his eyes practically glowing red with jealousy. Who even was that guy?Normally, if Sam even accidentally brushed against Miranda, she'd jump back two steps, but with this guy…Apparently, he'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
After training ended, Miranda and her team had three days to rest. In three days, they would depart for Harbener. This year, the International Academic Exchange Conference was being held in Farden, Harbener. Experts and scholars from all fields around the world would gather there. On the departur
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
