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
Miranda probed further, "So, whose call did you get yesterday? You were so angry that you got hospitalized."Christine snorted in response. Miranda remained calm. "Let me guess… Could it be the dean? No, he wouldn't bother with such trivial matters. "Then maybe… Mr. Banks? But I heard he has been
After reassuring Christine, Miranda helped her wash up and reminded her to finish the IV drip before going through with the hospital discharge. Before leaving, she called Olivia aside. "I've spoken to Dr. Young, there will be a car to take you both to the retreat tomorrow. While you're away, I'm co
"It's all thanks to the two construction teams from Mr. Cooper," Jack said.Initially, he brought them over to construct the foundation, but Jack quickly realized he had underestimated their skills. Not only were they great at civil work, but these people were also professionals in interior design a
Illuminated by the streetlights, Miranda and her two companions chatted as they walked. The cold wind blew, and their breath instantly turned to mist that rose slowly into the dark sky. "Mimi, do you want a latte? It's my treat…" Jack grinned, flashing her a bright smile. Miranda was about to rep
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
