It was Madison's first time experiencing such sweet talk from a guy. "Huh?"Why was he so… like that…Sebastian added, "If you don't say anything, I'll take it as a yes.""No, I—""No take-backs or objections allowed."Madison was rendered speechless. Mason was discharged from the hospital due to h
"Fifth, I have plenty of money for you to spend as you wish."Sixth, I'm handsome and guaranteed to make you proud."Seventh, I have a great physique that is alluring to the touch."Eight, I'm smart and can tutor you.…"Sixteenth, I can be your free personal trainer."Thirtieth, I will provide free
Meanwhile, in a quiet alley under the same night sky, Miranda couldn't stop herself from smiling as she put away her phone. Paul threw away his trash and walked over to join her. "What's making you so happy?" he asked."A social media post on my food."Paul said, "Whose is it?"Miranda unlocked her
Paul's eyes were like two liquid pools, dark and deep like an endless abyss. The desire that burned within them was like a lurking beast. "Goodnight, Dr. Jefferson," Miranda said. Taking a deep breath, Paul's hand lingered on her skin before finally withdrawing it with a gentle pinch on her slende
The next day, Miranda arrived at the lab to find Sebastian and Madison already there. "Miranda!" the two of them excitedly called out to her."How's Mr. Hill doing? Is everything sorted out now?" she asked.Madison nodded. "Yes, it's all taken care of! Thanks to Seb—"Miranda glanced at the two of
Paul asked, "Did I hurt you?"Miranda said, "Are you crazy? We're in your lab!""So?""This is your workplace. Do you think we're at home?"How could he kiss her out of nowhere? What was he thinking?Paul's breathing was slightly heavy. "You're only half right.""What?""We're at the lab, but this i
The door to the break room was forcefully opened. The latter part of Silas' sentence was caught in his throat as he froze at the door, as still as a statue. He blinked hard, but the shocking scene before him remained unchanged. Miranda's slender waist was firmly encircled by Paul's strong arm, pul
Miranda had no choice but to respond, "No.. It's not like that, Dr. Quinton…"Silas looked as though he had been struck by a heavy blow. His voice dropped to a whisper, "So… Did you do it voluntarily?""Yeah…" she murmured. Silas lamented once more, "Miranda, you're such a lovely young woman. You'd
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
Their noses touched, their breaths intertwining. Naturally, their lips met as well. At first, Paul's kisses were gentle and warm, like the soft glow of the spring sun. But soon, it became more urgent, more demanding, as if he needed more of her. By the end, his kisses crashed over her like a fierc
"Hey, Dr. Quimby. They've already left. Why are you still staring?" Santiago asked.Emilia withdrew her gaze and retorted, "It's none of your business."Santiago wasn't offended at all and continued smiling. "What's so interesting about watching other people in love anyway? Experiencing it yourself
Madison immediately reached for the door of the cab. "Wait… Miranda hasn't gotten in yet!"Sebastian sighed helplessly. "Dr. Jefferson is here. Do you really think Miranda won't have a ride?""Oh!" Madison finally understood. She glanced out the window and, sure enough, there was a parked SUV behind
