Miranda's gaze turned icy as she slapped Tina.The sound of that slap silenced the entire room.Even Tina was dumbfounded. "You— How dare you hit me!""Why wouldn't I?" Miranda shot back. She added, "You insulted me first, and I'm just trying to stand up for myself. We're in college, not your home.
Miranda said, "Fighting and causing trouble are two different things. Yes, we fought, but let's not forget who started it. The administration might back Sophie, but the college might have a different view."According to the usual investigation process, they have to understand the cause before the co
Miranda knew she could count on Paul to back her up. She said, "You've already handed over your keys. I'm definitely not giving up mine.""Why not?" Madison asked."Come on, think. If we hand over all the keys, how are we supposed to get the CPRT measuring device out? Are we going to break in?" Mad
Not only had Miranda thought about it, but she was already taking action. Of course, she couldn't tell Joli that. Instead, she said, "Where there's a will, there's a way. We'll figure it out.""Then, I wish you all the best," he replied and turned to leave."Joli!" Suddenly, she called after him. "S
Tina stormed into the house, slamming the door behind her. "Martha! Get me an ice pack!" she shouted.Evelyn looked up in confusion. "An ice pack? In this cold weather?""Mom, did you know I got hit today?" Tina screamed."What!" Evelyn's voice shot up, her face turning furious. "Who hit you? Who'd
Paul was waiting for her? What for?"Is there something important you need from me?" Miranda immediately became serious."Yes, and I think it's… good news for you.""What is it?" Miranda's eyes sparkled with curiosity. The more Paul teased, the more curious she became."Well, here's the thing…"The
Just as Miranda hesitated, wondering how to put the apron over Paul's neck, he suddenly lowered his head. "Is this low enough?""Maybe a little lower.""How about now?" He bent down further."Yes, perfect." Miranda quickly slipped the apron over his neck.Paul straightened up, waited a moment, and t
"There's no need!" Miranda sat cross-legged on the rug. "This is fine."The soft, plush rug was clearly high-quality. Sitting on it was comfortable, with her back supported by the edge of the bed.If only they had a few snacks and drinks, that would make this perfect.Just as she thought it, Paul wa
"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.
