"Damn it!" Hank grabbed his foot, hopping around in pain. As he jumped, he let out a series of yelps.Miranda put on a look of surprise. "Oh, I'm so sorry. My hand slipped. But I'm sure getting hit is not a big deal to you because of your thick skin, right?"Seeing this, Madison turned and picked up
"I didn't have time to exercise during the day, so I'm running a bit more tonight," Paul replied.Miranda stood at the same step and waited for him to catch up with her, and then they continued walking up together. "Thanks for your help today. If it weren't for you, we would have been kicked out,"
On Saturday, the skies finally cleared after two full days of continuous rain. With the arrival of winter, the temperature in Jandersville dropped drastically. The heat of the scorching summer was gone, leaving behind the biting cold and fierce winds. Miranda bundled herself in a thick down coat,
At that time, they had just started dating. It was clear Miranda hadn't yet adjusted to having a boyfriend. Initially, Hansel had been furious, his anger burning within him. He had never waited for anyone in his life. Other people had always been the ones waiting for him. However, his anger had va
Hansel had suddenly turned up. Before Miranda could rush over to him happily, he had given an order, and a group of bodyguards had stormed into the estate. They had pulled up all the flower buds she had carefully planted by the roots!Hansel had exploded in anger. "I told you not to bother planting
Miranda spoke about their past so lightly, as if everything now was completely irrelevant and unrelated to her life. Hansel felt a deep frustration and helplessness. It seemed like the harder he tried to grasp at sand, the faster it slipped through his fingers. Back then, he had brought his men an
This was unlike Hansel. Miranda said, "I feel like I need to remind you that there are six hours left until sunset. Today will be over soon.""Yeah. As much as I want to spend every moment with you, I know that if you don't take a nap at noon during winter, you'll feel very tired the whole afternoo
Both of them stood at the viewing platform together, watching the sunset.The fiery red sun gradually set. It went from a full round sphere to a half sphere, then finally disappearing completely, leaving behind the lingering glow of twilight."Let's go," Miranda said. "It's time to head back.""Alri
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
