Hendrix studied Joseph intently and seemed oblivious to Joseph's embarrassment and frustration. "I heard that Miranda's team chose to build their own lab off-campus because their lab on campus was ordered to undergo fire safety rectification," he said calmly.At the mention of "fire safety rectific
When Sophie spoke up, she successfully attracted everyone's attention."What are you doing?" Joseph seemed to anticipate her mischief and reached out to pulp her back.Sophie shrugged him off without a glance and instead fixed her gaze on Miranda. "Why aren't you saying anything? Are you unable to c
Reporters from mainstream media outlets, including the Education Network, the National Academic Journal, Scientific Digest, and the Biology Frontline, were present. Even journalists from the Elgerson News Channel showed up.Joseph was stunned by the media presence. "W-What's going on?"Miranda was e
The drone display left everyone in awe. People gazed upward and murmured with astonishment.Miranda paused momentarily before walking over to Sam, who looked a bit taken aback."Thank you." She stopped in front of him and said with a sincere look. "You invited those reporters, right?""Joseph reache
It was only after leaving Hansel that Miranda rediscovered her purpose. She gradually regained her former radiance and charm, but the moment also filled him with deep regret, which overshadowed his earlier admiration for her.Willow quietly observed the changes in his expression but kept her own dem
As they walked further, they saw a relaxation room that Miranda had specifically designed just beyond a door. It had eight suites, each equipped with a bed, wardrobe, full-length mirror, and a sink.Outside in the communal area, there were coffee tables, bookshelves, a swing, and a ping-pong table f
Miranda nodded. "That's one way to put it."Nevertheless, Madison frowned at this. "It's satisfying, sure, but would the college really allow that? They're not stupid.""Dr. Young said she'd handle the college. All we need to do is focus on our projects and do our part.""Fantastic! It'll be like we
Madison stood quietly by. She was just blinking, not daring to speak. The atmosphere… Well, it was something.Miranda's gaze shifted between the two of them. Sam's eyes held a teasing glint, appearing casual yet carrying an undeniable intensity.Paul, by contrast, looked calm and composed. His gaze
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
Fortunately, for now, Fiona was satisfied with Lionel as a son-in-law. He was gentle, attentive, and thoughtful, with decent looks and a respectable height.Having graduated from Queenstone College and now working as a physics teacher at a prestigious high school, he might not be wealthy, but he was
"A family reunion is always a good thing," Aren said with a heartfelt sigh, while Lionel nodded immediately in agreement.It was then that Mindy realized she hadn't introduced Lionel to Nelly."This is my husband," she said."Hello," Nelly responded with a faint smile. "My brother-in-law certainly l
