"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
Ingrid trembled. Hansel's attitude made it feel like a bucket of cold water was poured over her head. She never expected him to be so heartless, to not even give her a chance to make amends.She couldn't accept this!"I know I was wrong, dear, but the child is innocent! Look, this is the ultrasound
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
"Take these home and go through them. You'll officially start school again in September. Before then, you should have a basic understanding of your research direction. This way, when you join the lab group, you won't be completely in the dark," said Christine.Miranda glanced at the materials in her
Miranda suddenly realized that Elder Street was near Winter's office. Her heart jumped into her throat, nearly choking her with anxiety.Meanwhile, the driver kept his word; what would normally be a half-hour trip, he managed to cut it down to 15 minutes.As soon as Miranda got out of the car and wa
"Alright, alright. You're amazing! Happy now?" Miranda conceded."Well, according to hospital rules and procedures, car accident victims need to contact their family members."I didn't want to worry my parents, so I had to give them your number." Winter sighed, pulling out her phone and complaining
Hence, Evelyn could only glare, staring daggers at Winter. If looks could kill, Winter would've been stabbed to pieces by now."Ms. Jefferson, you might... have misunderstood me," Ingrid said timidly while glancing pitifully at Winter.Unfortunately, Winter wasn't buying it. "Misunderstand what? Tha
The more Evelyn thought about it, the angrier she became. The angrier she got, the more unwilling she was to let it go. She then actually chased after them.Normally, she would never stoop to this level, thinking that only desperate people would cling on like this. But right now, she was no differen
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
Jenny's usage of the phrase, "real boyfriend", was quite interesting. As if Miranda even had a fake boyfriend before.Jack spoke up immediately. "Let me do the honors. This is Paul Jefferson, a professor at Bedford College's Faculty of Physics. He's the youngest leading figure in the country for the
A man stood at the entrance. He was tall and imposing, and he had a cold expression on his face. Miranda stood next to him and looked equally stoic. Jenny was taken aback. Shock flashed in her eyes as she asked, "You… Who are you?"Paul stepped forward confidently, still holding Miranda's hand. "I
