The table was filled with dishes that smelled and looked delicious. "Paul, your cooking has improved again," Mindy said after having a bite of steak. Lionel pointed at the plate of mashed potatoes and said, "This tastes just like how we do it back in Lumberville. I'm not exaggerating, but most loc
Out in the hallway, Miranda smiled sweetly and waved at Paul. "Good night, Paul."Paul lingered for a moment before asking, "That's it? Nothing else?""What do you mean?""That's not the impression you were giving me earlier," he muttered. "What did I do?" she asked, puzzled."You gave me a look… a
Sam remained silent. He hadn't wanted to know about Miranda and Paul's relationship in the first place. "Did I never mention it to you?" At this, Lionel paused mid-thought and smacked his forehead. "Now I remember! I meant to tell you last time I was here, but then I got sidetracked and totally for
Esme couldn't help but think that Alex had been truly unlucky to have met her. Not only had he been taken advantage of, but he had no recollection of the incident. Who would have expected that a child would suddenly pop up years later, ruining his engagement party and branding him as a scumbag in f
Everyone in Miranda Sutton and Hansel Johnson's friend circle knew that she was head-over-heels in love with him.She loved him so much that her entire life revolved around him. There was no such thing as personal space for her, and she would've preferred it if she could be with him 24 hours a day,
At the dining table, Hansel didn't seem pleased with what had been served for breakfast. "Where's my pumpkin soup?""You mean cream of vegetable soup?""Cream of vegetable soup?""Yes. I know that Ms. Sutton makes that all the time. It's the one made with pumpkin, potatoes, onions, and celery, right
"Is Miranda having a hard time finding a parking spot? I can go and help—"Calvin suddenly saw Hansel's thunderously black face, and the realization finally dawned on him. "Oh! Hans, has Miranda… not returned yet?"It was long past three hours.Hansel spread his arms and shrugged. "Returned? You tho
Hansel had had quite a lot to drink the night before. Somewhere in the middle of the night, Calvin had suddenly made a huge fuss about continuing their drinking session at a second bar.By the time Hansel's driver, Dan Rover, brought him back to the mansion, the sun was already starting to rise.Han

Even while he was busy in the kitchen, Paul didn't neglect Lionel and Mindy. He would occasionally step out to refill their water or steep a fresh pot of tea."Mr. and Mrs. Sutton, what time did you leave home? Was the journey tiring?" Paul asked. "We took a cab from home at around 7:00 am and reac
"Then whose gossip is interesting?" Miranda countered. Paul didn't miss a beat when he replied, "Ours, of course." The next second, he pulled Miranda onto his lap. He stood up from the couch and lifted her in his strong arms effortlessly, carrying her like she weighed nothing. "Oh!" Miranda let o

"I—" Miranda was about to respond when her phone suddenly rang. She glanced at the screen and turned to Paul with a smile. "Speak of the devil… Some people just appear the moment you mention them."She swiped on her phone to answer, "Hello, Dad?""Mimi, have you eaten yet?" Lionel's voice came thro
Miranda remarked, "You don't seem surprised, either."Paul answered, "The Grahams would never let their only heir be sent to prison. They would definitely find a way to get him out. Even Uncle Damian and Aunt Natalie know that.""Does Winter know?""She does. Uncle Damian said she took it well. She
