They met again at the small restaurant outside the main gates of Bedford College. By the time Miranda and Paul arrived, Sam was already there. "Miranda, you're here…" He walked up to her with a smile, his eyes focusing intently on her. He ignored Paul, acting as if he didn't exist. Miranda said, "
Sam got down to business. "This week we will be focused on construction for the main structure. Currently, we are at…"Miranda began listening attentively when he got to the details, even slowing down her chewing to listen carefully. At that moment, the buffalo chicken bites were placed in front of
Willow replied with a smile before Hansel could reply, "I was the one who picked this place. I thought since it's close to campus, we wouldn't have to drive or make any reservations in advance. It's simple and convenient, and the food here isn't bad either."Sam grunted indifferently. It was unclear
Madison had a knowing look on her face, as if she knew that this was going to happen. Her eyes darted around eagerly. She turned and noticed Sebastian staring at her. She swallowed nervously and asked, "Why are you looking at me?"Sebastian lowered his voice and said, "It's not you who got asked fo
"Did you give them your number?" Pansy asked. Miranda replied, "No, I didn't.""Neither of them?" "Yes."Oh, my gosh! Pansy finally understood the situation. Miranda wasn't interested in either of them, yet they ended up fighting each other. Pansy was a reasonable person and understood that this
After saying that, Charles threw a question back to him. "Paul, you introduced her. What do you think about this?"Paul was silent for a moment, then he said, "First of all, I don't believe this is Miranda's fault. When a beautiful flower blooms in a garden, bees and butterflies come to it naturally
Miranda noticed that there was a lone blazer hanging separately on its own hanger next to the coat rack. It was black and appeared so formal it looked slightly rigid. Although Paul usually dressed up in suits, none of his clothes looked as old-fashioned as this one. Miranda walked in and stopped b
Paul worked quickly and soon finished cleaning the kitchen. When he returned to the living room, he saw that Miranda had already cut up the fruits and arranged them into a fruit platter. "I didn't let you help clean up, so you did this instead, huh?" Paul shook his head helplesslyMiranda picked up
Harold came in behind Jenny. He was so quiet that his presence was easily overlooked. Meanwhile, Quincey barely said a word as she kept her head down, her eyes glued to the phone. "Rena, you arrived really early this time. I've never seen you and Leonard so enthusiastic before. Guess things have ch
Miranda stood in front of the mirror, tidying up her messy hair. Behind her, Paul was fully dressed. He walked over and wrapped his arms around her. "Stop it, I just fixed my hair… Look, you even smudged my lipstick," Miranda grumbled, pushing him away. "Mimi, the way you said that makes it sound
Miranda glanced at her phone. It was a call from Paul. "Hello, Paul, Merry—"Before she could finish her sentence, she heard the sound of heavy breathing on the other end. Taken aback, Miranda froze for a moment. "What's…""Come outside, Mimi.""What?""I'm out front at your entrance. Come out."As
Austin stuck out his tongue at Yale. "Uncle Yale, shame on you! How can you compare yourself to little kids?" Yale was at a loss for words. Great, he thought, even the kids were bullying him.Suddenly, Susan thought of something and asked, "By the way, where's Paul?" "Oh, he got a phone call earli
Jenny was shocked. "Are they really that powerful?""Of course!" Quincey couldn't help but sigh. "I can't help but admire Miranda sometimes. Back when she needed money, she latched onto a rich young scion. Now that she's still young but craving for status, she went straight for a prominent academic
"Well, Dad and Mom still have a few jars left," Jenny said. "After thinking about it, we really shouldn't turn down Lionel's and his family's good intentions. Oh, right. Quincey, we still have to visit your maternal grandparents for Christmas. Let's head back now."The other members of the Sutton fa
Miranda walked over with a bright smile. "Aunt Jenny, the reason I gave the project to Jack back then was because we were working on a tight budget. Other smart home renovation companies were quoting too high. "Secondly, Jack's team was truly capable and qualified to handle the job. I would've like
Jenny had heard from other relatives some time ago that Jack's company was growing rapidly. His business had boomed so quickly that they could barely keep up with the demand. She had felt a little envious when she first heard the news. Jenny hadn't seen it with her own eyes and didn't know just how
Jenny's words dripped with sarcasm. It felt like someone had hit the pause button on the originally cheerful atmosphere as the smiles on everyone's faces froze. Lionel scratched his head and replied politely, "We were just lucky…""Oh please, don't be so modest! I've got terrible luck, and everyon
