The moonlight cast a cool glow over the chilly night. Miranda and Paul walked hand in hand into the alley. Throughout the walk, Paul seemed hesitant to speak. He opened his mouth several times, only to close it again. Miranda chuckled. "What is it, Paul? You can say it."Stunned, Paul rubbed his
Madison's jaw dropped. "The government actually gives out money?"And that much all at once?She couldn't help but feel a tinge of jealousy."Can we apply for government funding for our project next year too?"Sebastian's lips twitched. He couldn't bear to crush her hopes. "It's almost impossible."
Infinity Lab had a bountiful year, but Paul's lab was just as fruitful. They had three top-tier journal publications, two national-level projects, six key research projects, and 12 awards throughout the year. If Miranda's team was a rising star with outstanding achievements, Paul's lab was like a l
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
By the end, Yolanda was nearly shouting. Alex met her gaze directly and shattered her denial with the calmest tone he could muster, "The DNA test report confirmed it. He is indeed my son.""You… you…" Yolanda couldn't even form a coherent sentence. It took her a long time to steady herself. She to
Alex staggered backward in shock. Yale blurted out, "Damn! Alex, you're really something. You pulled a two-for-one special! Heh…" Before he could finish laughing, Alex shot him a freezing glare that instantly shut him up. Felix first glanced at Susan, then at Alex who looked completely dumbfounded
Esme had always taken pride in the fact that her children inherited her high intelligence. However, Reginald joked, "Maybe they got it from their father?"Esme refused to admit the possibility, but curiosity had taken root. Thus, she hired an international private investigator. Six months later, he
Esme was sincerely apologetic.Over the years, she had felt quite guilty toward that man. She had taken advantage of him. She was the irresponsible one. However, she had no choice back then… Either she died, or he lost his innocence. And as the saying went, better him than her. He just happened t
Esme fell silent for a moment. Suddenly, she lifted her head and studied Alex's face. She took him in from his eyebrows, his eyes, and his nose. Then, she inspected his mouth, jawline, neck, and the slight movement of his Adam's apple.She scrutinized his features seriously and carefully, taking in
Alex was taken aback.For a moment, it felt like time had frozen in the lounge. No one moved. No one spoke. Felix was the first to react. He cleared his throat and said, "Invite her to come up." Then, after a brief pause, he added, "Be polite.""Yes, sir," the assistant replied before turning to le
"But the problem now is that we are not sure, and we don't want to make a mistake," Felix said. "That's why we need further confirmation. Like you said, the fastest way is to do a paternity test, but that takes time. "If you have a DNA test report with you that can confirm your relationship with on
Alex laughed in exasperation and asked, "Is it good?"Austin nodded. "It's okay. Not as sweet as the ones we grow in our estate.""Do you even have an estate?""Yeah. Why?"Alex was about to respond when the door opened from the outside. The next second, Felix and Susan stepped into the lounge. Yal
Alex flipped straight to the last page of the report. "After examination, Sample A and Sample B…"The moment his eyes landed on that line, his barely composed expression shifted to utterly shocked. The next second, he lifted his head and looked in the direction of Paul and Miranda. Paul was stunne
