Madison blinked in confusion.Miranda took a cookie. "Thank you.""How is it? Does it taste good?" Madison gazed at Miranda with eyes full of anticipation, like a child hoping for praise."It's delicious, not too sweet," Miranda replied."I knew it! I've tried so many brands, and this one's the best
Madison murmured, "That Yasmine woman… you can't take her simply.""What do you mean?" Miranda asked."When I received my graduate admission letter, I joined the new student group chat," Madison explained. "Everyone kept talking about Yasmine."She was a top student at their university. Although her
Miranda's words insulted not only Hank but also Sophie and the rest of her group."So, you're that older graduate student?" Sophie finally gave Miranda a glance, her eyes filled with disdain as she sneered, "You certainly have a sharp tongue. I wonder if your abilities match your words."Hank chimed
The opening ceremony ended, and Miranda's life as a graduate student officially began.Her schedule was packed, with classes lined up from 9:00 am until noon almost every day. On the first day of class, Madison nearly showed up late. She arrived wearing flip-flops and shorts.Miranda paused, then ge

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.

"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
