The temperature had been rising since the beginning of July. The weather forecast issued a red alert due to the high temperature of 95 degrees Fahrenheit, which had persisted for a week. After repeated calculations and verifications, there was finally some progress in Paul's experiment. With great
This was a rare opportunity for Miranda."If you're interested, you can take this home and look it over carefully." Paul took out a USB drive and placed it in front of her. "This contains the details of the experiment materials." Miranda looked up, her bright eyes filled with emotion. "Thank you. I
Miranda finished her morning run and took a shower. When she came out, she noticed the new pink succulent among the rows of differently-shaped green ones on her balcony.She gently poked the leaves with her finger. Her mood improved considerably when she laid her eyes on the soft and tender succulen
Seated on the couch, Sam smiled faintly when he saw the awkward expression on Calvin's face. "You really don't have to worry about that. After all, Calvin was the one who lied and said that he wanted to eat it, so Miranda made the soup for him. As for her, she won't be coming." Hansel's face darke
At the library, Miranda had been working on two practice papers in a row. She got stuck on the last question for both papers. She'd been trying to solve it for a long time, but she still couldn't find the answer. Finally, she remembered seeing a similar problem in a book and got up to look for the
Hansel endured the lecture for a few seconds before hanging up abruptly. Then, he switched his phone to flight mode. Finally, he had some peace and quiet.Once he got home, he felt less agitated and let out a long breath. As he was about to go upstairs, he changed his mind and found himself turning
In the stillness of the night, a soft murmur sounded from the other end of the line, "Mimi, I'm in pain." Miranda could detect a slight quiver in Hansel's voice.In that instant, she felt an instinctive pang of heartache. Hansel was a stubborn man with a cutting tongue, and he'd always put on a bra
Ingrid felt a little unsettled and shook Hansel's arm. "Dear, what's wrong?" He snapped out of his reverie and waved his hand. "It's nothing. I'm fine now, so you can focus on your classes. "You don't need to come here every day anymore. There'll be a lot going on at the office, so I'll be busy th
"Mrs. Jefferson, you're too kind," Mindy said.Susan had a pretty good impression of Mindy. It wasn't just because of the dress back then, but also because of Mindy's family background. She came from a truly prestigious and prominent lineage as a lady of the Garrison family. However, she met with m
"Felix? Susan?" Miranda exclaimed. She was momentarily stunned to see them standing at the front door with a suitcase. Her eyes widened in surprise. Paul turned to her and said helplessly, "Miranda… my parents are here."She quickly regained her composure and stepped forward with a smile. "Felix, S
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.
