Winter loved ceviche, so she picked ceviche made from fresh salmon and some other common seafood dishes.Miranda wasn't used to eating raw food. She picked pasta and cured fish slices.The pasta tasted average, but the ingredients were exceptionally fresh.Noting that she was more modest with her ch
Paul adjusted his glasses. "We can never achieve instant results in physics. There's a certain rhythm and pathway to yield results. You can't change that by just pausing halfway."Blake looked sheepish. "I'm just saying…"They ended things on a sour note. As Paul turned around, Miranda waved at him
Ingrid strode down the stairs in huge steps and darted toward the entrance. She easily found Hansel's car parked by the roadside.He leaned against the front of the car. He wore a cream t-shirt inside his dark grey coat with a pair of sleek black casual pants. It made him look like a student, young
Winter took Miranda's hand and said, "Come on, let's go! I planned everything out before coming. I'll make sure you'll have the time of your life today!"…Right after that, an endless volley of screams continued for almost five minutes. "Save me!"Miranda rubbed her ringing ears. She looked at Wint
After lunch, Winter bought two tickets to an animal show. Excited, she took Miranda to see the dolphins.They followed the crowd to the southwest corner of the theme park, where the animal show hall was. The hall was air-conditioned. Compared to the heat wave outside, it felt like they'd come to hea
"You may enter now."Behind the staff was a curtain that opened to the sides. A slight breeze blew from inside, lifting a corner of the curtain and revealing a pitch-black corridor.From time to time, shrill screams sounded. Winter swallowed and grabbed Miranda's hand, shuffling forward.Miranda had
Soon, Miranda was the only person left in the room.Fortunately, after the alarm had gotten off, the lights became brighter. She took a couple more steps and found a hint diagram.After successfully passing the second room, she heard some noises from a crowd not too far away.Frowning, she looked in
At that moment, the staff's voice came from the entrance. "The route malfunction has been fixed. Please stop pushing and instead move toward the exit in an orderly manner…"With someone managing the crowd, the chaos quickly came to an end.Miranda didn't bother giving Hansel another look before leav
Under Susan's gaze, Jenny felt a chill run down her spine. "You… Why are you acting so weird? Are you mute? You don't look like it from how you're dressed."She shot Susan a glare and muttered, "Crazy woman," before heading back into her apartment building. Susan stayed rooted to the spot. Her face
They made it back from the school to Harold's place just in time for dinner. After dinner, Lionel and his family said their goodbyes. Upon seeing this, Leonard's family made their exit right after. Jenny walked them to the door before collapsing onto the couch, clutching her lower back. "What a ti
Paul's genes ensured both good looks and a decent figure. On top of that, judging by how generous he was with his gifts, he clearly wasn't just an ordinary college professor. He probably came from an affluent family. Elite families like his often went back several generations, which meant his rela
Since it was the end of the year, the students were all on holiday. The vast school grounds felt a little deserted. Dallas Urban, the school's security guard, noticed Lionel coming from a distance. He stepped out of the guard booth and greeted him cheerfully, "Mr. Sutton!" Then his gaze landed on
"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
