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
The driver brought the car over and pulled up to the side of the road. "Madam," he greeted her. Susan got into the car and sighed dejectedly. "Let's go home."As the car drove off, Paul and Miranda were crossing the street with shopping bags in their hands. The two of them and the car just missed e
"What's the matter? Why are you looking at me like that?" Paul asked.Miranda answered, "It's nothing. I just felt that you're a really good person, Dr. Jefferson."He was truly the best. "Come on, let's not stand here. Aren't you cold?" He chuckled. Miranda rubbed her hands. "A little."…It was
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
