Sam couldn't figure out how Timothy had seen right through him."Tell me. Why do we Cooper men always seem to crash and burn when it comes to Minnie and Miranda?" Timothy asked.Sam stayed silent."Must run in the family, huh? Damn! What a load of crap," Timothy said with a short, bitter laugh as he

Sebastian's expression hardened."Ugh, who cares!" Madison waved it off. "Why overthink it? If the college is up to something, they'll come to us." She knew they would find out soon enough, so stressing over it was pointless.Miranda agreed, "Exactly. Whatever comes our way, we'll deal with it. Why
Theodore wouldn't take a risk like that.Madison frowned. "The more I think about it, the more something doesn't add up."Miranda's expression turned serious. "…Yeah, it's definitely strange.""I heard from a third-year senior that Joli's parents aren't in great health and often fall ill. Do you thi
Unlike the dry, biting cold of the north, the weather in Yalemont, located in the south, was a typical, damp, bone-chilling cold. As the high-speed train pulled into the station, a drizzle began to fall.When Miranda and the others stepped off the train, a sharp gust of wind hit them, and they insti

"There's still a pile of pots and pans in the kitchen waiting to be cleaned," Jenny complained."I'm just like a maid that's born to toil endlessly, unlike you who can enjoy such an easy life. "You should really learn from Lionel. He cooks every time they host a gathering. You two are brothers, but
"I'm cooking something," Paul said. "Why are you cooking this late at night?" Susan asked. "I wanted a midnight snack."Susan knew her son didn't normally eat late. Clearly, he was cooking for someone else. The thought worsened her mood. "When are you planning to come back to Elgerson?" she asked
Suddenly, Miranda stopped walking. She turned to face Paul and said seriously, "Thank you, Paul, for coming to Lumberville to spend Christmas with me. And… thank you for being in my life."Paul was slightly taken aback. Then, he gently squeezed her hand. "You dummy. I should be the one thanking you.
Yale wasn't too pleased. "But… I was just trying to clear the way for you. Am I wrong for doing that?"He couldn't help but feel a little wronged. Paul softened his tone and explained, "That's not what I meant. First off, Mom had already agreed to me coming to Lumberville. There was no need for lie
"Oh, you're back? What were you guys doing?" Lionel came out of the kitchen, still wearing his apron. He looked a little puzzled when he saw everyone gathered around Paul and Miranda. "Dad…" Miranda was about to go over with the shopping bags, but Paul had already taken them from her before she cou
Jenny's usage of the phrase, "real boyfriend", was quite interesting. As if Miranda even had a fake boyfriend before.Jack spoke up immediately. "Let me do the honors. This is Paul Jefferson, a professor at Bedford College's Faculty of Physics. He's the youngest leading figure in the country for the
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
