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
Solomon was indeed a the professors' favorite student. Although he hadn't majored in the same field as Miranda, they could find common ground in their conversations. Miranda felt quite happy that they could have deep discussions about their studies. She was currently preparing for the postgraduate
Hansel sneered. "Quite impressive, Miranda. You seem to be having a good time, surrounding yourself with men." His tone became vicious. "Who was that guy just now? What were you two doing upstairs?" Miranda's smile vanished. She tried to break free as her wrist hurt from his vise-like grip, but Han
Hansel burst into his bedroom and flung the closet doors open like a madman. Then, he rushed to Miranda's walk-in closet. All the designer bags, clothes, watches, and jewelry he had gifted her were neatly arranged inside. Not a single item was missing. Hansel's gaze landed on a cherry quartz brace
Zach tapped Hansel's shoulder from behind enthusiastically. "When did you get here? Why didn't you tell us? We have a room upstairs. Come, join us for a drink!" Hansel rubbed his temples and said, "I'm not drinking. You guys go ahead." Zach felt a little puzzled as he watched Hansel leave. The lat
After exchanging some pleasantries, both of them remained silent for most of the journey. Paul was driving the car he usually drove. He could sense that Miranda wasn't in the best of moods, so he drove at a leisurely pace out of consideration for her. When they arrived at the entrance of the luxur
"Mrs. Jefferson, this toast is to welcome you to Lumberville!" Jenny exclaimed. "You should go around and explore while you're here. There's quite a bit of beautiful scenery in this city. "I would also like to thank you for your hospitality. You treated our entire family with such wonderful food an
Mindy rolled her eyes at him. "You only ever care about your physics test papers and lesson materials. As for anything else… ugh forget it."Lionel chuckled. "So what do we do tomorrow? Are we going or not?""Of course we're going? They came all this way to invite us sincerely. We'll be the ones in
"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
