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
Miranda didn't call him "Dr. Jefferson" like she usually would. She continued, "I'm really glad that you care about my feelings, but we're now a couple who are building an intimate relationship. We would need to spend a lot of time together, so we should be honest with each other. "No coaxing nor
"Okay," Paul said.Soon after, he brought her to Luxus Emporium. Standing in the massive shopping mall, Miranda blinked in surprise as she stared at the lavish storefronts of luxury brands. "This is where you wanted to bring me?""Yes." The next moment, he pulled out a black card and handed it to h
"Hansel, stop right there!" A fashionable young woman chased after Hansel near an escalator in the mall. Hansel had reached the foot of the escalator. He stopped in his tracks and turned toward her impatiently. "Frances, I've made myself very clear. Don't make things awkward for everyone." Frances
The two of them entered the shop. Paul raised an eyebrow. "Are you buying a fishing rod?"Miranda simply replied, "I'm just looking."However, her browsing turned into a purchase. "Miss, you've got great taste! Our Carpenter fishing rods are not only high-performance but also incredibly stylish. T
Miranda's breath hitched in her throat, and she tightened her grip on the phone instinctively. However, the phone screen wasn't locked as she was still holding onto her phone. Her fingers accidentally brushed against the WhatsApp interface. After a short ringing tone was heard, Lionel's voice boom
A man stood at the entrance. He was tall and imposing, and he had a cold expression on his face. Miranda stood next to him and looked equally stoic. Jenny was taken aback. Shock flashed in her eyes as she asked, "You… Who are you?"Paul stepped forward confidently, still holding Miranda's hand. "I
Quincey couldn't take it anymore when she saw her father getting shut down. "Mom, that's enough. Don't push me too far!""Oh?" Jenny snapped. "Hear that? I'm pushing you too far? Who's the one pushing here, me or you?"Quincey let out a cold laugh. "Don't take your bad mood out on me or Dad. We're n
Harold came in behind Jenny. He was so quiet that his presence was easily overlooked. Meanwhile, Quincey barely said a word as she kept her head down, her eyes glued to the phone. "Rena, you arrived really early this time. I've never seen you and Leonard so enthusiastic before. Guess things have ch
Miranda stood in front of the mirror, tidying up her messy hair. Behind her, Paul was fully dressed. He walked over and wrapped his arms around her. "Stop it, I just fixed my hair… Look, you even smudged my lipstick," Miranda grumbled, pushing him away. "Mimi, the way you said that makes it sound

Austin stuck out his tongue at Yale. "Uncle Yale, shame on you! How can you compare yourself to little kids?" Yale was at a loss for words. Great, he thought, even the kids were bullying him.Suddenly, Susan thought of something and asked, "By the way, where's Paul?" "Oh, he got a phone call earli
Jenny was shocked. "Are they really that powerful?""Of course!" Quincey couldn't help but sigh. "I can't help but admire Miranda sometimes. Back when she needed money, she latched onto a rich young scion. Now that she's still young but craving for status, she went straight for a prominent academic
"Well, Dad and Mom still have a few jars left," Jenny said. "After thinking about it, we really shouldn't turn down Lionel's and his family's good intentions. Oh, right. Quincey, we still have to visit your maternal grandparents for Christmas. Let's head back now."The other members of the Sutton fa
Miranda walked over with a bright smile. "Aunt Jenny, the reason I gave the project to Jack back then was because we were working on a tight budget. Other smart home renovation companies were quoting too high. "Secondly, Jack's team was truly capable and qualified to handle the job. I would've like
