"Wait! I'm not calling to chat today," Sam said solemnly on the other end. "I've already figured out what happened in Marvedis."Miranda instinctively sat up straight. "Go on."He said, "Are you free? Let's grab a bite. There's something I need to give you."She frowned slightly and checked her watc
Ingrid was taken away by the police in front of the crowd. She panicked as her immediate worry was whether her activities abroad had been uncovered.Seeing the surprised and questioning looks from those around her, she forced a smile and said calmly, "I'm sure this must be a mistake. I'll find out w
"Dear, I did all of this because I love you. I just want to be with you. Please forgive me this time. I swear it won't happen again," Ingrid said.Hansel's expression remained cold as he watched her desperate attempt to make amends. His eyes were filled with frost. "Do you not realize your action is

It all felt meaningless now. Hansel's late-coming affection was worth nothing to Miranda.She listened to him with a blank expression while her hand still gripped the door knob tightly—a defensive stance.Then, she said in a slow and concise manner, "I'm sorry, but no."There would be no forgiveness

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

"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
