Susan couldn't help but complain as soon as she heard Miranda's words, "The apartment building you're living in is in such poor conditions. There's dirty and smelly garbage everywhere. It's so unkempt. "Doesn't anyone clean this building? Look at these walls, they've turned black with mold. Look at
Miranda greeted him, "Dr. Jefferson, good evening.""Why are you just getting back now?"Miranda replied, "I spent some time at the library."As they spoke, the two had already reached the seventh floor. "Oh, right. I've already washed the lunchbox. Hold on for a minute…" Miranda entered her apartm
"We're finally done!" Madison closed her laptop with a deep sigh of relief, surrounded by a pile of empty soda cans. Sebastian suggested, "Let's go. I'll treat you both to dinner."Neither Miranda nor Madison declined the offer. They would have to work together for a long time, so there would be pl
Sebastian got up to pay the bill when they were almost done eating.As they were about to leave, they ran into Hank, Yasmine, Willow, and Theodore, who were entering the restaurant.Only TIna was absent. It wasn't surprising that she wasn't there. With her status, Tina never visited restaurants of s
Hank panicked and said, "Hey, w-what are you doing? Do you want me to sue you for invasion of privacy?"Madison replied, "This is a public place and it's legal to make a recording. Feel free to sue me, but I'm just a concerned citizen of Jandersville." "You—you guys…" Hank was so angry that he rese
The car stopped at the entrance of an alley, and Miranda got out. Sebastian and Madison had already gotten out ahead of her. Miranda walked in the direction of her apartment. Illuminated by the gentle moonlight, a few sparse stars dotted the night sky. The wind wasn't cooling as it carried the ling
Miranda regretted it the moment the words left her mouth. However, once spoken, she couldn't retract her words, just like water spilled on the ground. Sam replied, "You, of course."He was interested in her. Miranda looked up at the ceiling in exasperation.Sam's lips twitched. "Stop pretending. I
"Huh?" Matthew took some time to wrap his head around what Sam said. "Who delivered it? And when? Did you even mention this to me?"Sam answered, "I happened to be on campus today. In the afternoon, I heard you saying that the USB drive was for Miranda, so I took it to her for you.""Oh, I see… Why
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
