Soon, the dishes were brought to the table. Silas caught a whiff of the food, and his appetite was immediately piqued.He then picked up a piece of cajun chicken. The tender meat was dripping with a bit of sauce. "This is delicious!" he exclaimed. "I haven't had such authentic cajun chicken in a lo
At this moment, Sandy suddenly spoke up. "If it's a combined Bachelor's, Master's and Doctorate program, then Bedford College does have a few disciplines where that's possible, though the entry requirements are extremely high. Miranda, what was your undergraduate major?""Bioinformatics.""Faculty o
Sandy looked puzzled. That was such a… humblebrag! Truly a humblebrag!"Silas hadn't expected dinner to come with such a big surprise. "So, you're the student that Dr. Young always talks about—the one she 'always regretted' losing! I can't believe it… So, who's your graduate advisor this year?"Mira
What… What was that about?That familiar tone and movement between them suggested they had traveled together countless times. It even hinted at the possibility that they were living together…Sandy watched as the car disappeared from view, then slowly turned her gaze back and pinched Bryan's hand. "
When Sandy heard it was a technical question, she didn't hold back. After quickly grasping Miranda's experimental steps, she promptly offered some adjustment suggestions.When Elizabeth arrived and saw how focused Miranda was, she couldn't help but roll her eyes. She was just an undergrad—what could
"Miranda Sutton! Do you even know how many times I called you? You didn't pick up a single one of them!"It's been so long—if I hadn't called, were you planning to never reach out to me again in your life?"Winter was genuinely angry. Her words were coming out in a rapid-fire burst.Miranda scrolled
"Take a look, did I calculate this correctly?" Elizabeth asked.Sandy reviewed the data carefully and nodded. "It seems fine now."Yet Silas, with his seasoned experience, spotted the discrepancy right away. "These two values still don't match.""In the seventh row, both values are incorrect. It's n
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
