The other man was momentarily taken aback when his gaze fell on Zach. "Winter, who's this?"Clearly, he wanted Winter to do the introductions personally. Zach was also curious to hear how she would introduce him. Although his expression remained composed, his ears had pricked up long ago as a glimm
"Winter, I missed you so much!" With that, Zach leaned in and gave her a passionate kiss. Winter responded to the kiss skillfully. Honestly, she had missed him too…Zach's hand slid under her shirt, his movements growing bolder. However, Winter stopped him before he went any further. "Huh?" He lo
Winter gestured to the overturned ottoman at the foot of the bed with her chin. Zach instantly understood what she meant and quickly rushed to set it upright. He put it back in its place. "Now, will you stay a little longer?" he said expectantly. Zach had already leaned in before she could answer.
Madison piped up, "We did!""So quickly?" Miranda asked. "It's just a day tour to places near the city. We are done after a one-day trip. How long do you think it would take?" Miranda shifted her puzzled look to Sebastian. If she remembered correctly, his original itinerary was for a three-day, tw
Madison immediately forgot about the extra mile she would have to run tomorrow after learning that there would be good food. She turned and hugged Miranda, bouncing around like a rabbit. "This is amazing, Miranda! How did you know I've been craving the roasted chicken from Tasty Bistro long ago?"
Madison let out a satisfied burp after finishing off the drumstick. "Ah, this is pure bliss! I don't have many ambitions in life. As long as I can eat good food, I'm happy to just be a food scientist."Madison's thoughts were simple. She loved academia and loved food. Combining the two was her ultim
Madison had seen a glimpse of human nature through the tenants. She was also used to the countless disputes and entanglements between people. It was easier said than done to be entirely unaffected by external influences. Sebastian said, "Over time, I've realized that nothing in this world is absolu
Madison said, "We're not exactly close, but Theodore is a really nice guy. Last time at the botanical garden, everyone just stood there. But he was the only one who stepped up to help. I haven't forgotten that."Sebastian replied, "You've got a great memory."She blinked in confusion."Everyone 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
Miranda felt that if she didn't find an excuse to get Joli out of the lab, he could easily stay there for an entire day. Then, he would pull another all-nighter. Did Joli really think he had some kind of superpower? He worked nonstop for two days with barely any sleep and no proper meals. Yet, he s
Miranda began, "Grandma, I—" "Aren, can you keep an eye on the fire for me? It's been stewing for three hours, and I just need this last touch. Make sure it's perfect, okay? It's too noisy here, so I'm going out to talk to Mimi."It sounded like Fiona had walked into the living room since the noise
Paul paused, then chuckled. "Why do you ask?"Miranda responded thoughtfully, "Because I think it's you. Am I right?"After a brief pause, he nodded. "Yeah."She smiled. "I knew it… No wonder you said we should let things calm down before making any moves. You'd already planned this beforehand, hadn
Madison sighed. "You don't get it."Sebastian gave her a puzzled look."I'm so stressed out," Madison wailed."What can I do to help?" When he saw the tears in her eyes, Sebastian panicked."I'm not getting enough sleep… Can I cut the morning run by ten minutes?" she sobbed."Sure," he said.Madison
