Miranda had no idea what Paul and Christine discussed in the study, but she wasn't just sitting around. During that time, she and Olivia prepared meat filling together and made nearly a hundred meatballs to freeze for later.Olivia said, "Great! Dr. Young loves the filling you make, and these will b
Paul said, "No one ever mentioned it in front of me."Christine said, "Well, no wonder. Back then, you were juggling biology and teaching yourself physics. You were basically doing the work of two people. And on top of that, you were working on projects with both your mentors after class. Who had th
When Paul mentioned "Emilia," Miranda immediately knew he must've figured it out. After a moment of thought, she guessed Christine must have said something to him last night.She turned to look at him with a faint smile. "Yeah, I know."He stared at her quizzically. "Aren't you curious about what it
Paul said, "Let me give you an example…"At these words, the students instinctively straightened up.Here it came. The first part had been all theory but now was the real point.At that moment, Paul had moved to the aisle in the middle of the lecture hall. He stopped, then suddenly pointed to a spot
After lunch, Paul and Miranda took a stroll down the campus's tree-lined path. Along the way, they ran into Christine, who was on her way back to the lab after lunch. "Miranda!""Dr. Young.""I rarely see you around campus. What's going on? Didn't you head to the lab today?" Christine asked.Mirand
Miranda stood in plain view of Paul as he quickly cleaned up the kitchen before heading into the bedroom.The master bedroom had a projector with outstanding performance. She had previously used it to watch the Global Academic Exchange Conference with him.But last time, she had to sit on the carpet
The mood was perfect that night, but the timing seemed off. Paul never got the answer to his question. Miranda adjusted her clothes and flexed her sore hands before turning to look at the man on the bed. "I'm going home."After a few seconds, Paul sat up. "I'll walk you…""No need," Miranda interru
Paul said, "You told me to light the candle, so I did…"Miranda raised an eyebrow at his words. She was no longer in a hurry to leave. "And then?"Paul remained silent. "Turns out there was a surprise, right?" Miranda sighed with a smile on her face. She acted as if it didn't bother her at all. "W
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
