Paul blurted out a steady stream of remarks, "It seems that you have a corn and tuna mayo sandwich."Sam remained silent as Paul continued, "I've had it a few times, so I recognized it right away."Annoyed, Sam thought, "Did I ask for an explanation? And yet you keep on talking. Stop trying to boast
"Troublesome? How so?" Miranda was surprised. She couldn't help feeling curious as this was the first time she'd heard anyone describe Mindy that way. Aren answered, "Don't be fooled by how gentle and refined your mother is now. When she was a child, she would climb trees to catch birds or fish in
Miranda said, "Sure. I only had a quick glance around when I came in. I didn't have a chance to have a close look at the garden."Fiona had a weak back. Sitting for too long would make her uncomfortable, so Miranda had actually planned to take her outside for a stroll. This was a perfect opportunity
Sam gestured for her to open the door. Miranda raised her hand, placed it on the door handle, and pushed gently. She had always known Sam had excellent taste, but everything she saw was beyond her expectations in terms of his attention to detail. A faint subtle scent wafted into her nostrils. It
Sam suggested, "With such a sumptuous spread, why don't we take a group photo since it is Mimi's first visit?"This suggestion was right up the alley for the elderly couple. They hadn't taken a photo with their granddaughter yet!Aren nodded immediately. "Yes, this is definitely an event worth comme
Sam's smile froze. He continued swiping left, and the next photo was the one he had just taken of the dinner table. An idea came to his mind as he opened his social media and posted the photo with a simple caption, "Finally reunited."His post garnered numerous likes in just a short while. The comm
The sun didn't rise from the west today, and the earth was still spinning as usual!Calvin glanced over at the other end of the couch. He couldn't help but sigh. Hansel sat there, drinking one glass after another. He didn't play cards nor joined in the billiards game. As for the women, he kept as f
Did Hansel really think of himself as a hopeless romantic? It served him right to lose her! What was he doing all this time?Calvin sighed and said, "I wonder when Hans will finally move on. Miranda has already moved on by herself."Zach snorted, "Him? Just wait. He'll be stuck on her for the rest o
Paul tapped on the counter with his knuckles. "Your ID is needed to register your personal details.""Oh, right…" Elizabeth quickly rummaged through her bag. The people waiting behind her were beginning to grow impatient. Out of courtesy, they didn't say anything rude. Instead, they just let out a
The substitute lecturer was an unfamiliar face. He appeared to be in his 40s or 50s, with a balding head. His teaching method consisted of reading directly from the slides. There was no interaction, no humor, and lacking in any sense of entertainment. Soon, he lost the students' attention. "Where'
Hendrix suddenly thought of something. "Go check the number of papers published in 'Nature Biotechnology' by scholars within the country for last year."Beckett immediately opened his laptop. Five minutes later, he reported, "For last year, local scholars published a total of six papers in 'Nature B
In chess, a stalemate would result in a draw. With the first two rounds taken into account, the two indeed ended with a tie. Paul remarked, "Mr. Cooper, your chess skills are impressive."Sam replied, "You flatter me. However, praising me is just a roundabout way of praising yourself. Who knew you
Going downstairs, Miranda found Aren and Paul still sitting at the same spot as before. They were facing each other over the chessboard, deep in thought. She wondered if she had dreamed of taking a nap. "Mimi, are you up already? Come help me take a look. Paul is something else. He's already beaten
On second thought, Sawyer figured that Sam was Miranda's older cousin. It was normal for him to be annoyed after seeing through his intentions. After all, it was natural for families to feel protective over young women like Miranda. Sawyer quickly put on a smile. "Mr. Cooper, you're right. Since I'
Sawyer answered, "Alright."Soon, Miranda entered the house. "Grandma, did you call for me?""Come here, Miranda." Fiona beckoned her over. "Let me introduce you to the young scion of the Jensen family, Sawyer Jensen. You two probably met during the birthday banquet.""Nice to meet you," Miranda gre
Paul remained silent as he watched Sam walk away.How childish.Meanwhile, Miranda frowned. That couldn't be right. She had picked each one carefully and they all looked sweet. Sam was probably unlucky to eat a sour one. Paul and Sam picked two large baskets of strawberries and handed them over to
However, Sam's mind had long wandered elsewhere. Coincidentally, he stepped out of the study with a bright smile on his face when the maid came to call him. Sam hadn't gone to the office as he knew Miranda would be visiting. He specially came to the Garrison estate to wait for her instead. Sure en
