As Winter recalled that night she got drunk, she blushed and rubbed her nose. "It's all my mom's fault. She insisted I go to the young adult mixer, but it turned out to be a matchmaking event." She felt those young men and women at the event seemed like products lined up for selection. Natalie had
Paul, Miranda, and Winter stepped out of the restaurant."Paul, you're so popular. You were surrounded by a bunch of seniors, just like fans do around their favorite idol," Winter remarked."Idol?""Oh, it means celebrity," she replied.Paul chuckled. "It's just for practical reasons. I'm not a cele

After Mira finished speaking, she turned and walked away in her high heels.Zach chuckled and dismissed her words with a scoff. He found the idea of unrequited love laughable.After she left, a young woman in a plaid mini-skirt stepped out of the bar. Her long, fair legs were exposed, and her curly
Zach had a more comprehensive network than Alexander.Winter studied Zach, who seemed so confident, and her gaze turned skeptical. "Are you sure you want to talk about collaboration with me?"Zack replied, "Of course. But why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I can't handle it?"She size
"Where's the security? Someone stop them now," someone from the front desk said.In the chaos, Lucy dropped the pretense and shouted at the top of her lungs. "Where's Evelyn Stewart? I'm looking for her. Get her out here now!"She and her son, Franklin York, had arrived in Elgerson two days ago. The

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
