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
Sawyer scratched his head and chuckled awkwardly. "I'd like to, but…"Though Miranda didn't dislike him, she also didn't show any clear affection toward him.He was stuck in a state of emotional limbo, leaving him feeling frustrated. But even so, he was willing to endure it. Miranda was unaware of
Silas sighed and said, "Since you want to change the situation, why don't you talk to her and make things clear?"Paul remained silent while Silas continued, "You're scared, Paul. You're afraid that she'll reject you once you bring everything out in the open. Then, the two of you can't even remain f
Madison exclaimed, "Miranda, do you even need to ask our opinion on this? If you think it's worth it, let's do it. Just tell us what you need us to do. We'll definitely cooperate to the best of our ability!"Sebastian nodded. "That's right. We'll follow your lead. You can make the decision."Taken a
More than a year ago, Miranda borrowed Paul's experimental physics lab, where she met Silas, Sandy, and the rest of the team. Over the course of a few months, they went from strangers to close colleagues and friends.One day, Silas noticed how unusually fast Miranda was processing the experimental d
"A breakup?" Miranda asked, surprised."You don't know?" Silas asked.She shook her head.Silas sat closer and lowered his voice as he prepared to share some juicy gossip. "When Paul got back from Moonville, two days barely passed before he fired Elizabeth," he began. The mention of this triggered
While Miranda stood frozen in a daze, Paul stepped closer. The usual warmth and refinement in his demeanor had disappeared and was replaced by an intensity she had never seen before.She hadn't yet processed what was happening and instinctively stepped back until her back hit the wall. In the next m
Miranda asked, "So, you were quietly mulling all this over in your head before saying anything?""Yeah," Paul replied."No wonder…" she muttered softly."What?" He didn't catch that.Miranda smiled and shook her head. "It's nothing. Doesn't matter anymore. Let's go."They held hands and walked towar
Aren couldn't understand it. "Why are you in such a rush? Sam has been single for quite some time, and you've never reacted this strongly before."Of all things, she wanted to set up a blind date."You… you're not sleepwalking, right?" Aren asked cautiously. Fiona turned to glare at him immediately
"Huh? Why didn't I hear Sam start his car? Has he left? Let me take a look…" Aren muttered as he walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and peered out. "I knew it! His car is still there. He didn't leave at all. Could his car be stuck in the snow? That doesn't make sense… It hasn't been snowing long
The night was dark and silent as the heavy snow fell. Inside the estate, Fiona glanced out the window. "Oh, it looks like it's snowing outside," she said. Sam remained indifferent as it snowed every year in Elgerson. To him.. Or rather, snow was nothing special to anyone who grew up in Elgerson.
Aren nodded. "That works too. Sam, you don't need to send them off then. Head home and rest early."Sam remained silent. Before long, a maid came in and reported, "Both boxes have been loaded into Dr. Jefferson's car."Paul bid farewell to the elderly couple. "Mr. and Mrs. Garrison Senior, we'll he
Miranda was completely unaware of what was happening at the chessboard. At that moment, she was sitting on the couch and watching a dating reality show with Fiona. Yes, a dating show. In Fiona's own words, she said, "I just love watching young people fall in love. If I happen to find a couple I li
Since Paul had arrived, Fiona invited everyone to head to the dining room. Sam caught up to him and said dryly, "Dr. Jefferson, you seem quite free today."Paul replied, "It's the end of the year, so both the college and the labs are starting their holiday break. Perhaps the only ones still busy at
Sam brought his laptop to the living room and sat cross-legged in front of the coffee table. The thick wool carpet and the warmth of the heater kept the winter chill at bay. He began working in an orderly manner. From the business department to branding, then over to finance and human resources… E
"Sam is getting better at taking care of others," Fiona teased, chuckling. "When are you going to bring home a granddaughter-in-law for us?"Sam nearly choked on his food and coughed lightly. "Grandma, where did that come from?"Fiona immediately straightened up. "Do you think I'm joking? I'm seriou
After Miranda finished with her drink, Paul took the glass and placed it aside. Exhausted, she lay back down on the bed. Soon, Paul lifted the covers and slid beside her. "By the way," Miranda said, "Grandma asked me to visit the estate tomorrow. Do you have time to come with me?""Tomorrow?" Paul
