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
Jack was at a loss for words. "Mr. Cooper, you can let go of me now," Miranda said. Sam smirked, as if he had only just realized he was hugging her. Instead of releasing Miranda, his hand settled from a light touch to being firmly placed on her shoulder. Her figure was slender and delicate. At fi
At the end of December, Elgerson welcomed the second snowfall of the winter. This snowfall was much heavier than the previous one and lasted almost two days. The entire city was blanketed in white snow. Early in the morning, Miranda knocked on Paul's door, feeling a little apologetic and guilty. "
Miranda was momentarily taken aback, then she laughed. "Of course, I brought some for him too! Here, will you take it to him for me?""Sure thing!"Miranda took out a few extra jars and placed them in her car. "You're the best, Miranda!" "I think you and Sebastian are a pretty good match too."Wit
Since staying at the villa, her eyesight improved, and her back had stopped hurting. She was always smiling with a great appetite. Aren even went so far as to call over their private doctor, driver, and bodyguards from home. From the look of things, they planned to stay at the villa for some time.
By force? Sam chuckled. "Well, that's if you actually managed to grab hold of it."Timothy retorted, "How would you know you can't if you haven't tried?""What? Are you going to pursue Aunt Minnie? Heh… First of all, there's no way you'll get past my grandparents."Timothy made no comment on that.
"No way… Are you a big shot? You even brought your bodyguards to get drunk at a bar?" "Who knows?" Sam retorted.…Sam asked his bodyguards to stand closer deliberately so that he could finally have some peace and quiet. He poured himself another drink, but unlike last night, he didn't chug it down
Now, Timothy and Mindy were no longer the childhood sweethearts they once were. Their lives had diverged, with separate marriages and entirely different paths."Do you remember when we were kids, the promises we made about what we wanted to be when we grew up?" Timothy was the first to break the sil
Timothy waved his hand dismissively. "No need, I'll serve myself…""Nonsense! We're all family here." Before Timothy could finish, Lionel had already added two heaping servings of ribs to his plate.Timothy froze, momentarily at a loss for words.Nelly smiled sweetly, but her gaze toward Timothy was
The moment seemed to pull Timothy back in time, to when they were just young adults in their 20s. Their world revolved solely around each other, yet held back by the unspoken.His heart stirred. He opened his mouth to speak, but before he could say anything, Mindy stood up and broke the spell. "I sh
Nelly's smile became slightly strained. "Is that so? Lionel is truly a family man…"As everyone enjoyed their meal, the doorbell suddenly rang. Sam put down his cutlery. "I'll get it," he said, heading to the entryway.A few seconds later, his surprised voice echoed through the house. "Dad? What are
Mindy only asked Miranda to contact Sam because the two of them already knew each other.Back when Lionel's wallet was stolen at the train station, Miranda had introduced Sam to them. She called him "Mr. Cooper" and explained that he was a friend. Later, Sam had even thoughtfully dropped them off at
