That was until Minnie Garrison's disappearance. Everything changed.This shift was closely linked to the fact that the elderly couple had been living abroad for a long time.Thinking of his aunt, who was still missing and whose fate remained uncertain, Sam couldn't help but glance at the elderly pai
Miranda felt a bit embarrassed, realizing her thoughts had been seen through, but she wasn't overly flustered. After all, it was their first meeting, and having a little caution was entirely normal.She figured the elderly couple, with all their life experiences, would understand her position.Sure
Paul stood by the elevator on the third floor, seemingly ready to go downstairs to look for someone.Following a chime, the elevator doors opened, and Miranda stepped out."Dr. Jefferson," she greeted."Where'd you go?""Where are you headed?" They both asked at the same time, though their tones we
When they arrived at the restaurant, the server led the four of them directly to a private room. They ordered the dishes, set up the barbecue, and started cooking.True to Madison's enthusiastic recommendation, the flavors were indeed delicious, and the ingredients were fresh, but the spiciness was
"All done," Paul said.Miranda moved her neck and shook her head a bit. To her surprise, the hairpin felt quite secure, with no sign of coming loose."Hey! Your boyfriend learned that really quickly! Looks like he even did a better job than me!" the vendor said cheerfully.Paul gave a small smile.M
"Really, there's no need," Paul hesitated for a moment before continuing, "I already have someone I like.""What!" Lionel's eyes lit up. "Really? Have you confessed? Why aren't you two together yet?"The barrage of questions hit Paul hard, and he fell silent, thinking he should've just kept quiet.T
Mindy had said, "If you're not sure what to eat, go for the most expensive. Price may not mean everything, but it does show a level of sincerity." As expected, when Zach heard the name of the restaurant, he raised an eyebrow. But after a moment of thought, it didn't surprise him. Since they were ho
Thinking back to the recent chaos at Hansel's company caused by Ingrid's mother and her troublemaker brother, Zach couldn't help but click his tongue.He thought, thank goodness the child was no longer in the picture; otherwise, Evelyn might have been sobbing her heart out in the restroom by now.Ju
"Mrs. Jefferson, this toast is to welcome you to Lumberville!" Jenny exclaimed. "You should go around and explore while you're here. There's quite a bit of beautiful scenery in this city. "I would also like to thank you for your hospitality. You treated our entire family with such wonderful food an
Mindy rolled her eyes at him. "You only ever care about your physics test papers and lesson materials. As for anything else… ugh forget it."Lionel chuckled. "So what do we do tomorrow? Are we going or not?""Of course we're going? They came all this way to invite us sincerely. We'll be the ones in
"Mrs. Jefferson, you're too kind," Mindy said.Susan had a pretty good impression of Mindy. It wasn't just because of the dress back then, but also because of Mindy's family background. She came from a truly prestigious and prominent lineage as a lady of the Garrison family. However, she met with m
"Felix? Susan?" Miranda exclaimed. She was momentarily stunned to see them standing at the front door with a suitcase. Her eyes widened in surprise. Paul turned to her and said helplessly, "Miranda… my parents are here."She quickly regained her composure and stepped forward with a smile. "Felix, S
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
