Miranda and Paul washed the plates and cleaned the kitchen together. Then, they stepped outside to take out the trash.She slipped on her winter jacket and grabbed the garbage bag as she stepped outside. He returned from his apartment with two large bags."Dr. Jefferson, how long has it been since y
Miranda often wondered whether Paul used cologne. The question felt too personal, so she kept it to herself.She smiled awkwardly and said, "Thanks, Dr. Jefferson. I forgot to grab my scarf on the way out."Miranda hadn't forgotten her scarf. Instead, she was just feeling lazy. After all, she was on
Miranda hurriedly dressed. She slipped on her winter jacket, raced down the stairs, and wrapped a scarf around her neck.When she reached the ground floor, she was greeted by a swarm of kids already outside, armed with their snow gear to play in the snow. This first snowfall of the winter was a rare
"Dr. Jefferson, wait up!" Miranda hurried after him.After finally catching up, Paul turned around and looked at her exasperatedly. "Are you having that much fun?"She nodded eagerly. "Yes." To her, it was simply too much fun.He sighed. "But your gloves and scarf are soaked.""It's fine," Miranda
Miranda, Madison, and Sebastian met at a café.As Miranda sipped her coffee, she shared the information she had gathered. "I did some research online. The requirements for laboratory construction are much higher than for regular buildings. "Plus, we must consider the security system layout after th
Miranda was genuinely happy for Jack. "Okay. I'll go ahead and order.""Great!"Despite that, she only ordered two meat dishes, one vegetable, and a soup.Jack raised an eyebrow. "Is that it?""Yes. That's it.""Wait. You need to add two more dishes," he insisted."It's enough. We won't be able to f
Jack had a college education. It was hard to believe he didn't know these basic principles, especially regarding something as important as a contract."I've been busy with work. Since this was a new project and I didn't have a contract template, I forgot to include the penalty for breaking the contr
"Mimi, why are you asking all this?" Jack asked.Miranda's eyes twinkled as she said, "Actually, I have a project I'd like your help with. Are you interested?"He looked dumbfounded. "What kind of project?""It's for a smart lab, but you'll also need to do the structural work."What Miranda envision
"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
"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.
