Mason paced back and forth, muttering, "You've never cared about what people say before, so why suddenly try to lose weight? Is someone bothering you?"Madison had always been taught well—confident and cheerful, unbothered by her appearance. Even when she was excluded by classmates in elementary sch
Soon, the bell rang, and class began. Paul entered, saying, "Today, we'll be discussing molecular evolution and phylogeny…"During the ten-minute break, Madison lay listlessly over her desk. Seeing this, Sebastian could no longer keep quiet. "You've been in really bad shape these past few days!"Mad
Miranda wrapped her arms tightly around Paul's neck with her legs off the ground, clinging desperately to him. At this moment, she was like a koala bear hanging on a tree. And Paul was that tree. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to, but that dog scared me…" Miranda apologized while fidgeting,
The warmth from the warm water seeped through the glass and into Miranda's palms, but it didn't compare to the warmth she felt on her waist earlier. Suddenly, there was a series of knocks on her door. "Who is it?" she asked as she went over to open the door. Paul stood outside. "Here's your shoe.
They met again at the small restaurant outside the main gates of Bedford College. By the time Miranda and Paul arrived, Sam was already there. "Miranda, you're here…" He walked up to her with a smile, his eyes focusing intently on her. He ignored Paul, acting as if he didn't exist. Miranda said, "
Sam got down to business. "This week we will be focused on construction for the main structure. Currently, we are at…"Miranda began listening attentively when he got to the details, even slowing down her chewing to listen carefully. At that moment, the buffalo chicken bites were placed in front of
Willow replied with a smile before Hansel could reply, "I was the one who picked this place. I thought since it's close to campus, we wouldn't have to drive or make any reservations in advance. It's simple and convenient, and the food here isn't bad either."Sam grunted indifferently. It was unclear
Madison had a knowing look on her face, as if she knew that this was going to happen. Her eyes darted around eagerly. She turned and noticed Sebastian staring at her. She swallowed nervously and asked, "Why are you looking at me?"Sebastian lowered his voice and said, "It's not you who got asked fo
Susan remained silent for the rest of the meal. She only concentrated on eating the food in front of her. Jenny, kept in check by Harold, didn't cause any more scenes, either. As the meal was nearing its end, several waiters suddenly entered the private room. Each one was elegantly dressed and wor
"What Mrs. Jenny said earlier made a lot of sense," Paul said. I've taken your words to heart."Then, he turned to Mindy and Lionel. "Please rest assured, Mr. and Mrs. Sutton. I know how lucky I am to have met Miranda. I'll always put her first, cherish her, and take full responsibility as her boyfr
"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
