Naturally, Winter didn't hear anything. She took a picture of the bar counter with her new phone, focusing on a wine glass hanging upside-down. The background was blurred out. Then, she gave it a caption, "It's a lazy afternoon, feeling bored in the summer."She hit the post button. Then, she threw
Changing the password was basic stuff."Do you only do this with me or with everyone?" Zach asked."Of course not everyone. Like my mom or Mimi, I text them the new password whenever I change it. And when they come over, I won't change it after. Why do you ask?""Then why did you change it after I k
Zach said, "No… Why do you want to end the partnership just like that? We can talk things out!" Winter sneered. "Didn't you just imply that the partnership will end if I don't agree? Look, I hate forcing people, and I despise people who change their minds all the time. We had an agreement, and now
Miranda nodded. "It's no trouble.""Thank you."As soon as Paul stepped inside, the cool air hit him. It was a stark contrast to the heat in his own home. Since it wasn't his first time in her apartment, Paul casually changed into a pair of house slippers while Miranda went to get him a glass of wat
Paul emerged from her bathroom. The bathroom door was facing directly toward the coat rack, leaving the two of them no chance to avoid each other. Their gazes met instantly!Paul was holding onto the clothes he had just changed out of. His hair was still wet, water dripping down his hair and soakin
It wasn't the first time they had worked together. Paul washed the vegetables and helped out with chores, waiting for Miranda's instructions. Meanwhile, Miranda was in charge of chopping and cooking. Soon, four dishes and a bowl of soup were served at the table. They sat across from each other. Pa
"Yeah," Paul answered."Are you still going for a run in the evening?""I am. Should we run together?""Sure!"They both returned home to change into sportswear. Then, they met up downstairs and started running. The sun had set, and the sky was slowly darkening, enveloping the earth in dark shadows
Paul answered, "Not yet.""Oh… I see! You're still pursuing her, right?"Paul didn't respond, so the other guys took his silence as affirmation. "How long have you two known each other?"Paul pondered for a moment. "Over a year.""Wow, it's been that long, and you still haven't won her over? What's
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
