Miranda chuckled. "Shouldn't I be treating you instead?"Winter raised her brows. "We're best friends! It doesn't matter who treats who. Alright, it's decided! Get ready. I'm coming over to pick you up now."Miranda put her phone down and went to her room. She opened her closet and picked out a v-ne
Miranda raised her head and found that Paul's chin was almost touching her forehead. If she hadn't grabbed onto his arm, she would've ended up pressing her face right against his chest…Miranda snapped out of her reverie and took a few steps backward.Paul swallowed unnoticeably and put his hands do
Before entering the exam hall, Miranda checked that she had her admission ticket, pen, and all the tools needed for doing calculations. She hadn't left out any of the things she needed.Winter told her she planned to come all dressed up to wish Miranda the best of luck for her test.Miranda knew tha
Miranda understood what Tina was trying to say. She merely smiled and didn't try to explain anything.Tina asked, "If I'm not mistaken, you did your undergraduate studies at Bedford College, right? Which school are you trying to apply for this time?"Miranda replied, "I'm still opting for Bedford Co
It had gotten dark outside pretty early since it was wintertime.Before 7:00 pm, the street lamps lining either sides of the road lit up. The lights gave people a sense of warmth on this cold night.Walking from the subway station to Bedford College, one would pass by a street of shops and vendors s
The weather was nice on Saturday. Shafts of bright sunlight filtered through the layers of cloud.Miranda was sweating a little after her morning run. She took a shower and got changed after she returned home. Then, she bought some medicine and took a cab to Christine's place."Dr. Young, you need t
Miranda was aware of how concerned Christine was about her and her studies. She reassured the latter, saying, "Don't worry. I won't let you down."…After returning home, Miranda started looking through the materials she'd brought back with her.Compared to the textbooks she'd studied for the admiss
Hansel froze. "You…"Miranda was reminded of what had happened at the mansion the last time she'd been there. She stared at him with a terrified and wary look in her eyes."Don't move! Stay away from me!""Mimi…" Hansel felt as though a knife had been driven into his heart. "That day, I—""Stop! Jus
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
