Paul was at a loss for words.Miranda spoke again, "I'll need to wait a little longer. Dr. Jefferson, why don't you head to the garage first?""Alright."He wanted to stay, but there was no suitable excuse. In the end, he had no choice but to leave first. Miranda stood by the side of the road for a
"Hello." Miranda nodded slightly in greeting.Sawyer left his friends behind and walked up to her. "You're here for a haircut too?""Yes.""Well… I mentioned wanting to treat you to a meal last time. Would you happen to be free today?" he asked. Miranda replied, "I'm sorry, I'm here with a friend."
Winter said, "Mr. Jensen, we'll be off—"Suddenly, Miranda interjected with a smile, "Why not join us for a meal? After all, we've already booked the restaurant.""Really?" Sawyer was so thrilled that he could barely speak.Winter was puzzled. She gave Miranda a look that said, "Are you serious?"Mi
Out of the ten missed calls, nine were from Zach, that annoying pig. The remaining one was actually from Paul. She opened the WhatsApp messages. There were 40 from Zach. Winter casually skimmed through them.Zach: "Are you kidding me? Eating with another guy behind my back again?"Zach: "Didn't you
Startled, Winter raised her hand and slapped the person. Zach was too slow to dodge, and the slap landed squarely on his forehead. "Ow! What's your problem?"Winter furrowed her brow. "Are you nuts? Why do you sneak up on me like a ghost? Serves you right for getting slapped!""You're the one daydr
In the morning, soft sunlight streamed through the windows, illuminating the side of Miranda's sleeping face. The edges of the curtains swayed in the breeze silently. Miranda was awakened by the sound of her phone ringing. She answered groggily, "Hello, Grandpa?"Aren's voice came through. "Are you
Clement quickly altered the prescription, printed it out, and handed it to Miranda. "Thanks, Dr. Hugh," she said politely. He waved it off. "No need to thank me. You're such a sweet young lady. Beautiful, polite, and well-mannered. You're a delight to be around."Fiona beamed with pride at his wor
Miranda asked, "Dr. Jefferson, why are you at the hospital?"Only then did Paul tear his gaze away from Sawyer. His eyes softened instantly when they landed on Miranda. "I…"At that moment, Silas walked up to them, clutching his stomach. He interjected and answered for Paul, "He's here to accompany
"It's me," Sebastian said.Madison froze upon hearing his voice. She wondered if she was too on edge and thought she might be hearing things.But then he spoke again. "Don't be scared, Madison. It's me, Sebastian. Open the door."When she realized it was him, she flung the door open. Their eyes met—
Paul's action felt unusually reckless and lacked his usual calm and elegance. He seemed uncharacteristically impatient and urgent. "Sam called you?" he asked."Yes," Miranda replied. She thought, "You heard it, didn't you? Why ask?""Are you going to the Garrison estate tomorrow?"She nodded. "It's
"Miranda, you…" Paul hesitated and was unsure what she was doing.She didn't respond with words. Instead, her actions said it all.She brought a strawberry to his lips, accompanied by the soft warmth of her breath and the faint scent of her perfume.Paul froze, and his body went rigid like a statue.
It turned out that Sam and Miranda really did have a "close relationship", but it was a different kind of relationship from what Paul had imagined. So, he was elated and practically bursting with excitement.She blinked in surprise when she heard his open confession. "Why didn't you just ask me abou
When Paul gave Miranda water, he was extra careful about the angle of the glass and worried that the wrong tilt might make her choke.While looking at his serious and focused expression, she couldn't help but wonder if he was taking something so simple and turning it into a major project.After she
Every time Sebastian thought about the possibility, he felt a tightness in his chest. Since there was no actual reason, he decided to be the one to make Madison stay in Jandersville. Though he knew that reason wasn't enough, he believed that one day, it would be.When he arrived at the lab, as expec
Madison drove back to her apartment, and the darkness of night had already settled outside.On most evenings, she would have been eating her delivery from Flavorscape by now. However, she had lately developed a fondness for a new place called Noir Plate. As a regular, she had even signed up for thei
It was hard to tell how long it took, but Madison finally calmed down. The first full sentence she blurted out was, "Seb, are you crazy?"Then came, "Or did someone put a spell on you?"And finally, "How… How could you possibly like me?"The whole situation was so overwhelming that she couldn't help
In the evening, Miranda finally stepped down from the lab bench, removing her lab coat as she went. Madison exclaimed in surprise, "Miranda, are you leaving?""Yes.""This early?"It wasn't that she was overacting, but this was the first time for a workaholic like Miranda to leave work on time. Wha
