Miranda quickly tried to reassure Lionel. "Dad, Mom finding her biological parents is a good thing."After all, Mindy was someone without a past. She had thought about finding her roots once, but as the years went by, she had let go of that hope.Sometimes, she would imagine herself as part of a fic
Fiona was deeply grateful now that she had followed Sam's advice and continued treatment for her eyesight and general health. Her vision had gradually improved, allowing her to clearly see how much her granddaughter resembled her daughter.Meanwhile, Mindy was surprised to learn that her parents and
"Sam!" Miranda interrupted, meeting his gaze firmly. "Think carefully about what you want to say—what you should say—before you speak again.""You already know, don't you?" Sam asked, trapping her between the wall and his chest while his hands braced on either side."So what if I do? Or if I don't?
Sam had declined Mindy's invitation to stay at the house and checked into a hotel instead.He went to a bar, ordered several bottles of strong liquor, and drank one glass after another. Throughout the night, women approached him, attempting to flirt, but he pushed them all away without exception.By
Nelly followed the address from the documents and found Mindy's current residence. Standing outside the wrought iron gate, she tilted her head to take in the villa before her.From the outside, the neighborhood seemed ordinary enough, but once inside, it was surprisingly pleasant. Even after ending
"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
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
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
A man stood at the entrance. He was tall and imposing, and he had a cold expression on his face. Miranda stood next to him and looked equally stoic. Jenny was taken aback. Shock flashed in her eyes as she asked, "You… Who are you?"Paul stepped forward confidently, still holding Miranda's hand. "I
Quincey couldn't take it anymore when she saw her father getting shut down. "Mom, that's enough. Don't push me too far!""Oh?" Jenny snapped. "Hear that? I'm pushing you too far? Who's the one pushing here, me or you?"Quincey let out a cold laugh. "Don't take your bad mood out on me or Dad. We're n
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
