Evelyn sputtered, "What?" "If you're not pregnant, why are you drinking the chicken soup? It doesn't seem right to compete with a pregnant woman for food, right?" Ingrid asked. "There's a whole pot of soup. Do you think you can finish it all by yourself?" Evelyn thought Ingrid must not be in her r
Evelyn's head throbbed with frustration as she watched Ingrid reject the soup she had boiled for the entire morning. "That's lentil soup, and I added some beans. It's good for the baby." "It might be good for the baby, but not for the pregnant mother, right? Can't you see the thick layer of oil flo
A tall figure walked out as Christine finished speaking. Miranda was stunned when she saw who it was. Christine said, "Let me introduce you to Sam Cooper, Dr. Sanchez's student."Sam extended his hand to Miranda with a smile. "Miranda, nice to meet you." "You're Dr. Sanchez's student?" Miranda as
In reality, Sam wasn't much help in the kitchen.Not only were his actions clumsy, but he also squeezed dish soap onto every single plate and bowl. When Miranda gave him a pointed look, he asked innocently, "Isn't this how you're supposed to wash them?" Miranda was at a loss for words. Sam cleared
Miranda suddenly remembered that Sandy had once mentioned there was a pervert who lurked around Bedford College. He loved to follow female students around, especially at night. A female student had already been assaulted by him, yet they still hadn't caught the perpetrator despite having reported i
Sam suggested, "Maybe things like… You're so handsome, I'm head over heels for you, let's give dating a try, or be my boyfriend…"Miranda laughed. "All your suggestions are more conceited than the last.""My best quality is that I dare to dream, and I put it to action." Miranda quipped, "Then, you'
It was Joe, Hansel's assistant. He said that Hansel had left a very important document in the study and had instructed him to retrieve it. Evelyn hurriedly led Joe to the study since it was a matter of business confidentiality, and the request was urgent. "Is this the one?" she asked. Joe replied
Evelyn's expression darkened. "Shut up, I was talking to my son. You have no right to interrupt!"She turned to Hansel and explained, "Yes, I did go into your study yesterday. Joe waited at the door and didn't enter. I won't hide the truth. However, I only opened a drawer to get the file you needed.
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
