Paul adjusted his glasses, his expression giving nothing away.The next moment, Sam crossed the street and walked toward Miranda. "I was just about to head up and find you. Didn't expect to run into you here.""Is there something you need?" Miranda asked."Yes." He nodded, his expression somewhat se
They were both men, so how could Sam not notice Paul's subtle feelings for Miranda? They might not have been obvious, but they were definitely there. And as long as they existed, there was no way they would escape his keen observation.Sam paused mid-step and suddenly spun on his heel. Miranda, who
"If that's not enough, I've got more—about an hour ago, we were sitting and chatting at a café near her place. Every word I said is true. Feel free to verify it," Sam boasted.Calvin glanced at Hansel next to him, whose face had turned sour. Was it too late to turn off the speaker now?But Sam just
Hansel looked Ingrid up and down, then sneered, "Didn't you say your stomach hurt? You look just fine to me."Under his sharp gaze, Ingrid felt as though her clumsy act had been completely exposed. "You weren't home, and I had no one to talk to. I felt so lonely—"Hansel cut her off, uninterested in
Hansel kicked the overturned bowl, sending the porcelain shattering against the floor. The sound of it breaking echoed sharply, causing Ingrid to flinch in fear."I told you to stop pretending in front of me! You have three seconds to get back to your room. Don't show your face around me!" he shoute
Miranda had obviously just woken up. She was wearing pajamas with cartoon bears on them, and the corners of her eyes were still reddish. She yawned slowly, her reactions slower than usual."Did I wake you up?" Paul thought that he might have disturbed her since the old building had poor sound insul
Although Ingrid was still using her son's supplementary card, it was much better than last time when she didn't even spend a penny and only gave her a handmade scarf as a gift. The two of them wandered into a luxurious boutique. The sharp-eyed sales assistant immediately recognized that Evelyn was
"Coming." Miranda had gone to the restroom earlier. When she came out, she saw Natalie waving to her from inside the store. Evelyn was taken aback. Following Natalie's gaze, she saw a familiar face. It was none other than Miranda!Naturally, Ingrid also saw her. Miranda was wearing light makeup,
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
