Mindy stopped him in time. "Wait a minute, don't rush into it.""How can I not be anxious? It's already this late at night. Who knows who that extra person in her house will be? What if… what if it's a dangerous man…" Lionel trailed off. "It shouldn't be. You were on a video call with her for so lo
Meanwhile, Miranda had no idea that the photo she sent had sparked a frenzy in solving the mystery. All she knew was that the bed was really soft, and the man pressing down on her was really heavy. Miranda sighed and raised her hand to stop his kisses."What's the matter?" Paul asked. "It's my ti
After breakfast, Miranda left for work, while Paul stayed home instead of going to the lab. "Mimi…" he called after her. Miranda was already at the stairway. She turned back at the sound of his voice. "Yes?"Paul walked up to her and leaned down, planting a kiss on her forehead. "Come home early."
"Why are you here?" Miranda asked.Paul raised the stackable lunchbox in his hand. "I'm here to bring you lunch."Joli was taken aback.Great. Everyone around here had their lunches delivered except him!Annoyed, he turned and stormed back to the lab bench. "Lunch? Who needs that anyway? Work is eve
Miranda sighed. "Dr. Jefferson, you'll turn me into a lazy, gluttonous woman if you keep this up.""Don't worry, I can afford to do that," Paul replied. Miranda was at a loss for words. They spent the evening together until almost 10:00 pm. Before leaving for his own place, Paul prepared ginger an
Summer vacation drew near as the weather grew hotter. However, one major event loomed before the summer break—the final exams. Miranda had taken seven core courses for this semester; four mandatory courses and three electives. Originally, Madison only planned to take one elective. However, after
Sebastian ignored Hazel completely, still holding Madison's hand as they walked away. "Weren't we going to celebrate with a big meal? Have you decided on a place?""Yes, of course!" Madison's eyes lit up at the mention of food. "Let's go to Cici's Bistro. It's a new addition to the Michelin star sel
The college's neglected official website rarely drew attention, but the announcement spread like wildfire.After all, it involved Paul, Bedford College's physics heartthrob, widely hailed as the most handsome scientist in history. Even such a simple announcement sparked heated discussions.At that m
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
