After persevering for two weeks, Miranda finally stopped going to the lab after completing the third phase of the model experiments. Joli, however, showed no signs of going home at all. "Don't your parents need help at home?" Miranda asked.At this time of the year, households in Yalemount were bu
With Esme's help, Miranda transported the dishes upstairs effortlessly. Miranda quickly realized that Esme's strength wasn't ordinary. Although she appeared to be delicate and elegant, she managed to lift the large container of food with one hand and place it steadily on the table. Miranda swallow
Bryan wasn't as shameless as Silas, so he turned around to get his own plate. Miranda thought she'd have to wait for everyone to return before serving the food, so she didn't rush to open the food containers. Unexpectedly, Esme suddenly pulled out a plate and a set of cutleries from seemingly out
Silas packed the remaining soup into his lunchbox to be brought home. "I'll heat it up later and have it for dinner."Miranda couldn't help but find their reactions a little too dramatic. "Is my cooking really that good?" she asked. Silas immediately launched into a rant. "Miranda, you don't unders
Despite the growing crowd, the engaged couple was nowhere to be seen. Susan watched as two more guests entered the venue. The moment she withdrew her gaze, the smile on her lips faded slightly. "Where's Alex? Yolanda has to stay inside to do her makeup and get dressed, so she can't come out to gre
Suddenly, Miranda stopped walking. She turned to face Paul and said seriously, "Thank you, Paul, for coming to Lumberville to spend Christmas with me. And… thank you for being in my life."Paul was slightly taken aback. Then, he gently squeezed her hand. "You dummy. I should be the one thanking you.
Yale wasn't too pleased. "But… I was just trying to clear the way for you. Am I wrong for doing that?"He couldn't help but feel a little wronged. Paul softened his tone and explained, "That's not what I meant. First off, Mom had already agreed to me coming to Lumberville. There was no need for lie
"Oh, you're back? What were you guys doing?" Lionel came out of the kitchen, still wearing his apron. He looked a little puzzled when he saw everyone gathered around Paul and Miranda. "Dad…" Miranda was about to go over with the shopping bags, but Paul had already taken them from her before she cou
Jenny's usage of the phrase, "real boyfriend", was quite interesting. As if Miranda even had a fake boyfriend before.Jack spoke up immediately. "Let me do the honors. This is Paul Jefferson, a professor at Bedford College's Faculty of Physics. He's the youngest leading figure in the country for the
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
