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
Both of them went into the console room. Miranda didn't beat around the bush and got straight to the point. "Dr. Young, I think there's an issue with your research approach."She didn't wait for Christine to respond and handed her a document before continuing, "Over the weekend, the three of us rev
It was hard to turn back now that they were in too deep. "But fortunately, someone has finally identified the problem," Christine sighed. Miranda couldn't believe that everyone else remained oblivious to the problem in their research. However, they had no choice but to let things continue and make
Miranda suggested, "We'll have to apply for a lab, just the three of us."Madison and Sebastian were shocked. How could Miranda be so bold? "Wouldn't Dr. Young mind?" Miranda laughed. "You're thinking too little of the old lady. The suggestion came from her in the first place."They immediately to
Miranda got straight to the point. "Joli, did you apply to use the C122 lab room?""C122?" Joli was momentarily taken aback. He couldn't fully process the question. Miranda continued, "I've checked the details of your current research project, and it doesn't require the use of the CPRT measurement
Joli asked, "Did you use my name to apply for the lab access at the dean's office?"Sophie replied, "Ah! Yes."He asked again, "Then, who is using that lab? I need to contact that person.""No one is using it.""Nobody?" Although he expected that answer, Joli still felt uneasy about it.Sophie answe
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
