Miranda quickly changed the topic. It was almost as if she was afraid Winter would keep asking, "I'm hungry. Didn't we have a restaurant reservation? Let's go eat."There was a seafood and vegetarian restaurant on Sackbed Road that was always packed on weekends. Winter had reserved a table two days
Paul had his car. Since they were headed the same way, Miranda naturally went along with him. The old apartment building didn't have a parking garage, so they parked at the mall across the street and walked back to the apartment.On their way, they passed through a grove of poplar trees when suddenl
Hansel quickly pulled his hand back, like a child caught doing something wrong. "I'm sorry, Mimi. I didn't mean to. I… I don't even know what's wrong with me… I just don't want you to run away, to be so far from me.""Don't touch me!" Miranda clutched her head, tears about to fall from the pain.At
Hansel staggered slightly. "What do you mean by that?""You really don't get it, do you?" Sam replied. "You think you hid everything perfectly, but Miranda's not stupid."Hansel sensed something else in Sam's words. He grabbed Sam's collar, and his eyes were fierce. "What exactly did you tell her?"
Hansel ignored Calvin and kept walking. As he reached the staircase, Calvin caught up and restrained him. "Stop it, Hans. Let's go back! Miranda isn't going to open the door for you anyway…""I have something for her."Calvin paused in surprise. "What is it?"Hansel pulled a tube of anti-allergy nas
"Mimi… I miss you so much… Will you come back, please?"The only response Hans got was the dark, empty living room and the harsh wind howling outside.…The next morning, Miranda woke up early. She washed up and made breakfast. After tidying up, she got ready to head to the lab.As she was closing t
The technician sighed. "You've asked me five times already. I'm still working on it. I need to find out what's causing the issue before I can restore the data properly."Bryan quickly replied, "Alright, I won't bother you anymore. Please focus on your work."He couldn't help but glance in Paul's dir
"Six months ago, they launched a new feature."As Miranda mentioned this, the technician's eyes lit up. "Are you talking about the AI Recorder?"Everyone else looked puzzled. This wasn't their field of expertise, so they didn't fully understand.Paul said, "You must be referring to Sun Terminal's so
Susan remained silent for the rest of the meal. She only concentrated on eating the food in front of her. Jenny, kept in check by Harold, didn't cause any more scenes, either. As the meal was nearing its end, several waiters suddenly entered the private room. Each one was elegantly dressed and wor
"What Mrs. Jenny said earlier made a lot of sense," Paul said. I've taken your words to heart."Then, he turned to Mindy and Lionel. "Please rest assured, Mr. and Mrs. Sutton. I know how lucky I am to have met Miranda. I'll always put her first, cherish her, and take full responsibility as her boyfr
"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
