She didn't even know what was going on, and yet, there Hansel was, yelling at her and calling her names. She was completely speechless as she stared at her phone. Hansel had already hung up on her."What did I even do wrong?"Tina hadn't managed to stew in anger for long before the butler, Gary Jenk
It had been a long while since Miranda had done something on her own.While she hadn't exactly been waited on during the few years she'd lived with Hansel, this was still the first time she'd donesomething that involved so much of her physical energy.Even though money had been tight the first few y
It was around 6:00 pm. Miranda had been busy all day and hadn't eaten anything. She had some bread and fresh vegetables in the fridge, along with some mushrooms. Since it was getting late, she decided to make a quick meal of sandwiches and some simple cream of mushroom soup.When she went to return
Miranda walked ahead of Paul. She'd clearly regained her composure and wasn't as nervous as the night before. Paul drove his car over, and Miranda got into the passenger seat. On the way, they passed by a fruit store.Miranda suddenly asked, "Could you pull over here? Give me a minute. I'd like to
Christine patted Miranda's back with a wrinkled yet tender hand. Her heart slowly softened. "Hush, now. You're already all grown up, yet you're still a crybaby. How embarrassing is that?"Paul watched the entire situation quietly. When Christine and Miranda hugged and made peace with each other, he
Paul kept quiet. To him, food was merely something he needed to replenish his energy. It didn't matter how it tasted. "I'm done washing the vegetables."Miranda took a glance at them. The washed red bell peppers and lettuce were arranged nicely together. It was evident that Paul was a neat freak."W
"I'm too busy for this nonsense.""What? Nonsense? You're the one at fault here! How can you be such a miser? Don't you know misers are as despicable as rats in the gutters?""Go to someone else if you're going to act all crazy." Hansel wondered what the hell she was talking about.Tina couldn't car

"There's still a pile of pots and pans in the kitchen waiting to be cleaned," Jenny complained."I'm just like a maid that's born to toil endlessly, unlike you who can enjoy such an easy life. "You should really learn from Lionel. He cooks every time they host a gathering. You two are brothers, but
"I'm cooking something," Paul said. "Why are you cooking this late at night?" Susan asked. "I wanted a midnight snack."Susan knew her son didn't normally eat late. Clearly, he was cooking for someone else. The thought worsened her mood. "When are you planning to come back to Elgerson?" she asked
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
