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
Everyone in Miranda Sutton and Hansel Johnson's friend circle knew that she was head-over-heels in love with him.She loved him so much that her entire life revolved around him. There was no such thing as personal space for her, and she would've preferred it if she could be with him 24 hours a day,
At the dining table, Hansel didn't seem pleased with what had been served for breakfast. "Where's my pumpkin soup?""You mean cream of vegetable soup?""Cream of vegetable soup?""Yes. I know that Ms. Sutton makes that all the time. It's the one made with pumpkin, potatoes, onions, and celery, right
"Is Miranda having a hard time finding a parking spot? I can go and help—"Calvin suddenly saw Hansel's thunderously black face, and the realization finally dawned on him. "Oh! Hans, has Miranda… not returned yet?"It was long past three hours.Hansel spread his arms and shrugged. "Returned? You tho
Hansel had had quite a lot to drink the night before. Somewhere in the middle of the night, Calvin had suddenly made a huge fuss about continuing their drinking session at a second bar.By the time Hansel's driver, Dan Rover, brought him back to the mansion, the sun was already starting to rise.Han
"What's the matter with Hans?" Calvin asked, inching his butt a little closer toward Zach after glancing at Hansel, who kept drinking solemnly by himself.Hansel had had a dark look on his face ever since he'd stepped into the room. Even the lively atmosphere in the room had cooled down because of h

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
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
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'
