Miranda glanced at Paul's door and noticed it was still locked, just as it had been for the past few days. It suddenly struck her that she hadn't seen him in quite some time.They used to leave at the same time and often ran into each other, but lately, she hadn't seen him at all. She figured he was
Silas glanced at Paul. "You haven't been yourself lately. What's going on?""You've got it wrong," Paul replied, turning toward the drawing room. He carried a bag of clean clothes and intended to store them in the cabinet inside that room.As he pushed the door open, his gaze landed on the folding b
Noticing Sebastian scrutinizing him, Sam met his gaze with a sharpened expression. "Please take a seat.""Thanks."Madison and Sebastian sat beside Miranda.Sam called the server and said, "Bring two sets of utensils and ask the kitchen to prepare two more dishes.""Sure. Any specific requests?"Sam
"Habits can change," Miranda said.Sam replied, "That may be true for others, but I don't wish to change for you."She was rendered speechless.…After leaving the restaurant, Miranda, Madison, and Sebastian walked together in the same direction. Madison pulled out her phone and was ready to call a
Hansel's fist landed against Sam's cheek with a dull thud. Just as he was about to throw another punch, Sam grabbed his collar and yanked him forward with enough force to topple him.Taking advantage of the moment, Sam stepped back to distance himself. He winced as he rubbed his sore cheekbone. "Han
When Hansel and Sam turned to look, they couldn't see Miranda.Zach shrugged. "If I hadn't said that, would you two have stopped fighting?"Hansel was lost for words while Sam tightened his lips.Zach continued, "Is it too much to ask for adults to handle this maturely instead of resorting to childi
Paul quickly typed a reply but hesitated. After a moment's thought, he decided it was better to head home. Since it was Sunday, he thought Miranda should be at home."Silas, I'm leaving now. Three sets of data are about to be released, so please keep an eye on them."As he turned to go, Silas called
Madison didn't know Paul or his relationship with Miranda, but that didn't matter to her. Still, nothing could hold back her urge to vent her frustrations.After lunch, Miranda, Madison, and Sebastian returned to the lab.Madison placed her hands on her hips and sighed. "The lab is spacious, but it'
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
