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
All three of them had been drinking, so they each pulled out their phones to call for a driver once they were outside. While waiting, Calvin felt the urge to smoke. He put a cigarette in his mouth but realized he couldn't find his lighter.He asked Zach for one, who pointed to the back seat of his c
"What?" Calvin paused, not fully understanding."When I broke up with Miranda, did I make a mistake?" Hansel asked, his voice tinged with regret."Hans," Calvin said, looking at him with a mix of pity and exasperation. "Are you only now realizing this?"Hansel was at a loss for words."Miranda is an
Miranda looked closely at the display again and shook her head. "No, it doesn't mention that."Mindy walked over and stood next to her daughter, both of them facing the information board. "It says here that after the reform and opening-up period, Garrison Garden was returned to the Garrison family.
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
