Emery continued, "So, let's be understanding of each other!" Although Hansel still looked tense, he stopped making a scene. He clearly took in Emery's words. Willow let out a sigh of relief, but still…The pointing and murmuring from the crowd around them made her feel a little humiliated. After a
In the perspective of the two men, what they saw was Miranda leaning against the pillar with her arms wrapped around herself, her cheeks flushed as she trembled uncontrollably. "Miranda? Miranda! Are you okay?" Paul tried to wake her up, but her eyes remained closed despite her trembling eyelashes.
In the open gazebo, Paul and Sam were sitting on the ground with Miranda in between them. Sam had dozed off, his head drooping down. From Hansel's angle, it looked like he was resting on Miranda's shoulder. Paul also had his eyes closed, but his posture was more composed than Sam's. He supported h
Madison and Sebastian also came over to help. Soon, the ambulance arrived. The nurse and doctor identified the patient. After a brief examination, they carefully moved Miranda onto a stretcher with Paul and Sam's assistance before moving her into the ambulance. The accompanying nurse called out,
Tina stomped her feet angrily as she watched her older brother drive off her pursuit of Miranda. She was his biological sister, and yet he didn't even consider giving her a ride…In addition, it was for Miranda again. She truly felt that she and Miranda were fated to be enemies!…At the emergency d
Paul knew the password to her lock screen and mobile payment…Paul replied in an indifferent tone without even sparing them a glance, "She told me."Sam and Hansel were both stunned to silence.…When Miranda woke up, it seemed to be daytime when she looked out the window. There was no sunshine, but
"What… What are you two doing?" Zach stood frozen in place, holding a wash basin. His eyes were wide, and he looked like a total fool.Miranda and Winter both turned to look at him simultaneously. "Why are you so slow? It took you an hour just to buy a wash basin." As she spoke, Winter took the was
Zach's hand wandered and slipped under her sweater, skillfully undoing the double row of hooks on her back. "Winter… Winter…" he murmured her name between kisses. His voice was gentle, yet his actions were aggressive, as if he was about to devour her whole. Winter had to exert some strength to pu
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
