When Sam looked up and saw Miranda, a faint smile appeared on his usually expressionless face.Since Miranda was selecting shoes for Aren, the elderly gentleman, she knew she couldn't focus solely on style; comfort was essential. However, she also couldn't prioritize comfort and ignore style entirel
After finishing their meal, Nelly went to pay the bill. They'd barely touched their food, leaving quite a bit behind. The two mothers were wrapped in their thoughts, each with their own concerns.Meanwhile, Sam and Paul seemed to be having a much better day, each pleased with their purchases—Sam wit
At that moment, Miranda was absorbed by an item on another shelf, completely oblivious to the silent battle that had already raged between Paul and Sam countless times.Paul, having just finished paying, turned to see Miranda gazing at a display case featuring a five-tiered fondant cake. Each layer
"Mom!" Before Susan had even finished, Paul already knew what his mother was getting at. "I've already told you—I'm not interested in thinking about that right now."Susan held back for a moment, then asked bluntly, "Are you seeing someone?"Paul froze for a moment as Miranda's face flashed briefly
Which of those rich heirs out there didn't have a wild youth? But playing around should never go too far. Nelly knew better than to spell things out too directly as she had no proof of anything specific. She gave a subtle warning instead."When it comes to relationships, you ought to be careful. Exp
Dormant memories resurfaced. Fragments flashed through Nelly's mind, and she remembered those desperate, tear-filled eyes that haunted her dreams.Her voice cracked as she said, "Minnie was kidnapped because someone was seeking revenge. How does that have anything to do with me? Just because I was w
Next to Willow was Hank, who was grinning like a puppy and holding a thermos. Meanwhile, Theodore stood behind him, weighed down with bags of all sizes.Miranda then quickly looked away as she and Willow weren't exactly close."Hey, Miranda!" Madison waved from a distance, jogging over with a large,
"With all this time left, why don't we try looking for some rare plants?" Miranda suggested. Plus, who wouldn't want a perfect score?"Sure, I'm in!" Madison said enthusiastically. "Honestly, I don't care much about 100 or 80; I just want to hang out with you guys!"After a short rest, the three set
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
