While Madison and Sebastian bickered, Miranda found the scene amusing. "Alright, that's enough. I'll cook tonight, and you two can be my assistants."With that settled, neither Sebastian nor Madison objected.They knew Miranda was meticulous in her research, but they hadn't expected her to be so par
Especially when the woman in question—Miranda—was beautiful and living in a run-down apartment building. It didn't take much to figure out what was happening. She had probably caught the eye of some wealthy man because of her looks, and now he was trying to win her over with a car. Or maybe she was
Hansel couldn't be bothered with Willow's feelings, nor did he pay attention to the pumpkin soup. He was in a bad mood and, after finishing his work, he finally powered down his computer. Then, he noticed the bowl of soup beside him.The bowl was nearly half full of thick, creamy pumpkin soup topped
"Not at all," Paul replied. "Do you have a preferred car model?"Miranda didn't have any specific preferences. She just wanted a car that was easy to drive.He said, "I'd suggest a sedan. It's more comfortable and easier to handle than an SUV, though you might give up some space, especially in the b
While Miranda chose a car, Paul didn't say much. But he stayed by her side and always offered a gentle reminder whenever she overlooked something. What kind of friend would do that?From the moment they stepped inside, his focus was entirely on her. The care and attention in his eyes were unmistakab
Suddenly, Nelly remembered something. She pulled out her phone and zoomed in on the photos she had taken earlier.She mumbled, "The woman with Paul… Why does she look so much like the one who went shopping with Sam to pick out shoes at the mall earlier?"Nelly shook her head and dismissed the though
Susan knew Miranda lived in the same building, but it hadn't occurred to her that Miranda was Paul's next-door neighbor.That was why there had been no sign of a woman at Paul's place. With their apartments so close, they could see each other whenever they wanted. He could just walk a few steps and
Paul didn't notice anything was wrong. Just as he was about to close the door, Susan called out, "Wait… What are you doing?" She grabbed the handle before he could shut it.He looked confused. "Aren't you leaving?""I'm not leaving yet, and you're already closing the door?" She raised her voice, and
The police arrived swiftly. Upon receiving the report, the hotel immediately sent staff to cooperate with the investigation. First, they sealed off Paul's room and collected air samples. Next, they proceeded to the surveillance room to retrieve surveillance footage, accompanied by the hotel manager
"You— What's wrong?" Miranda asked. The heat from Paul's palm was like a burning hot iron. The moment he touched her wrist, Miranda felt an extraordinary scorching sensation from his skin. "Miranda, do you know what you're doing?"Miranda waved the fever patch in her hand. "I'm about to stick this
Miranda wasn't naive or inexperienced. She immediately recognized Paul's arousal. Could it be…"Did it not have any effect at all after soaking in cold water for so long?"Paul had his back to her, so Miranda couldn't see his expression. All she heard was a low, almost inaudible voice. "No…""Then y
Miranda spoke in a tone that was neither hot nor cold, her attitude as indifferent as always. Elizabeth couldn't help but glance inside the room. "Have you seen Dr. Jefferson?""Yes, we met at the banquet. We came back together.""And after that?" Elizabeth asked anxiously. "After what?" Miranda l
Elizabeth was pacing back and forth anxiously in the adjacent room. She glanced at her watch more than ten times in the last minute. She bit her lip as the quiet environment amplified the unease in her heart. She reached for her phone several times, but she put it back on the table in the end. Whe
Miranda sneered coldly. "Does this mean any woman with a bit of achievement must have climbed her way up by sleeping with men in your eyes? Speaking of which, let's just take a look at Dr. Rachel Browne from Echo Bay Institute of Technology. "Not only is she one of the country's top astrophysicists
Paul came looking for Miranda after asking a waiter for directions. Unexpectedly, he saw Wyatt chasing Miranda just as he approached. Paul blurted out those words in that moment of urgency when he saw Wyatt reaching out to grab her. Wyatt's hand froze in midair. Meanwhile, Miranda was momentarily
"Mind having a chat?" Wyatt asked.Although Miranda felt puzzled, she maintained a smile on her face. "I don't mind, but we don't seem to be in the same academic field.""Didn't you say during your speech at the forum yesterday that the charm of research comes from interdisciplinary collaboration? I
These old-timers like Crosby weren't strangers to trying to matchmake Paul, whether setting him up with relatives or pairing him with students. Over the years, they had tried countless times, and Paul's answer was always the same. "Not considering it at the moment."Crosby hadn't planned on bringing
