However, Miranda and Sam took a family photo, met the parents, and even celebrated the holidays together!This was a proper family photo where everyone was posing neatly for the camera, unlike the last photo where only a corner of Miranda's chin made it into the photo of the dinner table. Judging f
However, the person who entered wasn't Miranda. It was Willow. Her heart missed a beat when she saw Hansel's dark expression. She quickly explained, "Calvin called and said you were drunk. He was worried about you being alone, so he asked me to come and check on you."As she spoke, she walked over
Miranda would turn and playfully hit his chest while he pulled her into his embrace…"You're up?" Willow was surprised when she turned and saw Hansel there. Hansel was jolted back to reality and nodded. "Yes.""Um… I couldn't get a ride last night, so I stayed in the guest room. I figured your stom
Fiona was startled as she had never seen Mindy so serious before. "Min, what's going on?""Mom, Dad, let's sit down and talk," Mindy said. The elderly couple followed her to the couch and sat down. She added, "Lionel, Mimi, you two should listen too."They exchanged glances and obediently sat down
Back when Mindy's disappearance was confirmed, Fiona couldn't help but suspect Nelly when the police failed to find her and had to give up. The two sisters had gone out together, yet only Mindy was abducted. If the abductors were after money, wouldn't it have made more sense to capture both of them
Mindy revealed the truth of what happened all those years ago to her parents. After they learned about the truth, their anger and hatred were inevitable. Fortunately, their health wasn't affected, nor did either of them faint on the spot. Mindy felt greatly relieved when she saw them calm down. Af
"So, you mean…" the first person trailed off."I'm thinking about Ms. Minnie's daughter, the granddaughter of the Garrison family!" the man replied. "I heard she's gorgeous, has a great figure, and the elders adore her. If she takes a liking to me, I'll save myself more than ten years of hard work!"
Fiona held Mindy's hand tightly. "It's been over 20 years. I never dared to dream that this day would come. Fortunately, fate hadn't treated me too harshly and finally allowed our family to reunite."Seeing her reddened eyes, Aren chuckled to lighten the mood. "Have you forgotten what the doctor sai
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
Fiona sighed. "What's Mimi been up to lately? I've asked her to come home for dinner twice, but she keeps saying she's too busy. It's been more than a month since I've seen her."Aren put down his newspaper and glanced at her. "You're a grown woman. Why do you need your granddaughter around to keep
Miranda accepted the money and said, "I don't think Joli would accept it.""Just tell him it's from me, and refusing it would be rude. I'm sure he'll accept it," Christine said."Got it." After handling everything, Miranda resumed her usual routine. She shuttled between the lab, college, and home.
"That's great news, Mr. Zeller!" Joli almost jumped in excitement. "My parents and I are heading to the city in two days, so we'll stop by to visit Theodore then… "Don't worry, everything's taken care of… It's true. I'm not lying to you. The Snider brothers were taken in by the police yesterday."
After reviewing the contract, Joli signed his name. He handed it back to Miranda with both hands and assured her, "I won't let the lab lose a penny."She smiled faintly. "I trust my instincts."This was the second time she had extended a hand to him.Joli's heart was overflowing with gratitude, but
