"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

Austin stuck out his tongue at Yale. "Uncle Yale, shame on you! How can you compare yourself to little kids?" Yale was at a loss for words. Great, he thought, even the kids were bullying him.Suddenly, Susan thought of something and asked, "By the way, where's Paul?" "Oh, he got a phone call earli
Jenny was shocked. "Are they really that powerful?""Of course!" Quincey couldn't help but sigh. "I can't help but admire Miranda sometimes. Back when she needed money, she latched onto a rich young scion. Now that she's still young but craving for status, she went straight for a prominent academic
"Well, Dad and Mom still have a few jars left," Jenny said. "After thinking about it, we really shouldn't turn down Lionel's and his family's good intentions. Oh, right. Quincey, we still have to visit your maternal grandparents for Christmas. Let's head back now."The other members of the Sutton fa
Miranda walked over with a bright smile. "Aunt Jenny, the reason I gave the project to Jack back then was because we were working on a tight budget. Other smart home renovation companies were quoting too high. "Secondly, Jack's team was truly capable and qualified to handle the job. I would've like
Jenny had heard from other relatives some time ago that Jack's company was growing rapidly. His business had boomed so quickly that they could barely keep up with the demand. She had felt a little envious when she first heard the news. Jenny hadn't seen it with her own eyes and didn't know just how
Jenny's words dripped with sarcasm. It felt like someone had hit the pause button on the originally cheerful atmosphere as the smiles on everyone's faces froze. Lionel scratched his head and replied politely, "We were just lucky…""Oh please, don't be so modest! I've got terrible luck, and everyon
Mindy maintained a polite smile. "It's the thought that counts. After all, we're family. There's no need to compare."With that, Cynthia's expression softened into a genuine smile. "Mindy, you really do have a way with words. No wonder you're a famous writer."Jenny hadn't managed to gain the upper
Rena's smile widened and looked more genuine. "These are not cheap, right? You're really too much. We're just having a Christmas dinner with family, so there's no need to bring all these gifts."She wasn't like Jenny, who couldn't stand seeing others doing well. Her brother-in-law's success was a g
