Sebastian was at a loss for words. What followed was Madison's live commentary on the food. She gushed, "Oh my gosh! This is really delicious! The sauce is a little spicy, but it's not too overwhelming. It's the fragrant kind, paired with pepper and onions. This is absolutely heavenly!"The pancake
This minor incident had little to do with Miranda and her group. They just listened to the news and moved on. Still, hearing about their college's loss always left a bitter taste. Honors and awards in academia weren't just about the college's reputation, but they were also tied to national pride. T
Joli had gone ahead to take a number earlier before coming to meet up with them all at the main gates. Coincidentally, their turn was just coming up when they arrived at the restaurant. Joli remarked, "This was Madison's idea. It's so practical!" Madison clasped her hands behind her back and grinn
A tall, elegant man with a refined and gentle smile was crossing the street. He walked toward the group and stopped next to Miranda. Madison said, "Oh, it's Dr. Jefferson. I was worried about Miranda going home alone, but this works out perfectly."She didn't think much of it at all. Sebastian and
Madison explained, "My dad said I should come back after graduating from my master's program…"Sebastian froze. He had never really considered that Madison wasn't from Jandersville. As the only child of her family, it was unlikely that her parents would allow her to continue staying in Jandersville
Paul's cheeks flushed red the moment he heard Miranda's words, like the radiant hues of a sunset. It made him look exceptionally handsome.Miranda stood at the entrance of her apartment and extended an invitation to him with a bright smile. Her gaze was unwavering as she looked at him. Paul's Adam'
At that moment, her gaze froze. There was a pair of boxers lying in a corner next to the washing machine!Miranda quickly averted her eyes once she realized what it was. In the living room, Paul seemed to have remembered something. His body stiffened as he cursed silently. Then, he immediately stoo
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
This was just a short interlude. Whoever Harbener drew didn't matter much to Miranda and the others, but it wasn't completely irrelevant, either.At the very least, Harbener could directly eliminate at least one strong country from the competition in the first two rounds.For Hebrana, this somewhat
After breakfast, Miranda, Madison, Sebastian, Emilia, and Santiago set out for the venue.Upon arrival, they signed in, registered, and presented their passports before heading to the hotel arranged by the organizers to drop off their luggage.They had lunch at the hotel and took a short nap. In the
"I'm not joking. If everything goes smoothly, I plan to get engaged by the end of the year." Alex suddenly turned serious."What? Are you for real? The end of the year? That's only a few months away. Alex, are you serious?" Yale dropped his usual carefree demeanor, and his expression grew solemn.Al
Yale said, "Like damn. Nobody saw that coming. That was a big one—Vaughn Quaker's inheritance just dropped right into their lap.""Yeah." Alex nodded. As someone in the industry, he'd heard a few rumors. "I heard that Vaughn Quaker divorced his ex-wife decades ago. He was head over heels for his cu
Felix found it hard to believe Susan had softened her stance like this—Alex and Yale were even more shocked.Yale felt a twinge of bitterness since his mother had never given in like this for him.At her words, Paul's expression eased slightly. "…I was a little impatient that day too."Susan finally
Susan was momentarily speechless. Felix tried to convince her. "You agreed to call Paul to come home for dinner today, didn't you? Wasn't the whole point of this meal for you two to talk things out and clear up the misunderstandings? To mend the relationship?"He then sighed. "But look at you. The
There was a street food market right outside the guesthouse. The five of them strolled from one end to the other. By the time they made their way back, the sun was setting. The sunset painted the sky a vibrant orange with wispy clouds drifting lazily around the warm glow. "It's getting dark. Shall
Santiago lowered his voice as well, copying her. "Emi, you just touched my hand…"Emilia was at a loss for words. Two days before departure, she had requested a change of team members from the college administration. But somehow, Santiago had caught wind of it in advance. Before the administration
After training ended, Miranda and her team had three days to rest. In three days, they would depart for Harbener. This year, the International Academic Exchange Conference was being held in Farden, Harbener. Experts and scholars from all fields around the world would gather there. On the departur
