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
"…Sorry," Hansel said. Miranda turned and walked away, but he caught up with her again."Stay away from me!" she snapped."Okay. I won't touch you or even come near you." He took a step back. However, his gaze lingered on her face and was filled with longing as if he had a thousand words to say.Mi
What Hansel saw instead was Miranda in Paul's arms. Her arms wrapped around Paul's neck as if it were second nature to her. Her smile was bright and radiant—youthful in a way that was full of life.…Back at the apartment, Paul and Miranda went into the kitchen. She made steamed broccoli and shrimp
Before starting the engine, Miranda texted Paul to ask if he was working late that night."No." His response came fast.He then sent a photo of an empty shopping cart and wrote, "I just got to the grocery store. Do you want to join me?"Miranda quickly replied, "I'll be there in 30 minutes. Wait for
Morning sunlight streamed into the room.Miranda's eyelashes fluttered, then her eyes slowly opened. She sat up, reached for the robe beside her, and slipped it on. Glancing over at Paul, who was still asleep next to her, she quietly got out of bed.In the kitchen, she was preparing breakfast. As sh
Zach straddled the man and threw a few more punches at him. Winter was flung to the ground by his violent shove and twisted her ankle. A sharp pain shot through her the moment she tried to move. "Zach, have you lost your mind? I'm calling the police!" she shouted. Her words made Zach pause mid-ac
The moment those words left Zach's mouth, the poker table fell into dead silence. The chaotic noise around them seemed to fade into the background as a deafening explosion went off in Hansel's mind. Only one sentence echoed over and over in his ear…Miranda had a boyfriend…Had a boyfriend…Boyfrie
On most days, Zach would sleep during the day and pick up Winter from work in the evening. Then, they would spend a wild night in the apartment.Afterward, they were too exhausted to do anything but sleep until noon.Zach cleared his throat. Yeah, he had been pretty busy."Well… work's been a little
"What the hell! Winter? Hello? Hello!" Zach shouted into his phone. But she had already hung up before he could finish cursing. That feeling was like…An urge to go, only to have to hold it back forcibly. Zach slammed his fist onto the steering wheel in frustration. The steering wheel, of course,
Paul said, "No? Then come over to my place tonight, and we'll take a closer look."Miranda was at a loss for words. "Here we go again!" she thought. As the two returned to the lab, they could hear Sandy's excited voice from afar, "Oh, we found it! Found it! Oh my god! Thank goodness! Thank the heav
