Emery continued, "So, let's be understanding of each other!" Although Hansel still looked tense, he stopped making a scene. He clearly took in Emery's words. Willow let out a sigh of relief, but still…The pointing and murmuring from the crowd around them made her feel a little humiliated. After a
In the perspective of the two men, what they saw was Miranda leaning against the pillar with her arms wrapped around herself, her cheeks flushed as she trembled uncontrollably. "Miranda? Miranda! Are you okay?" Paul tried to wake her up, but her eyes remained closed despite her trembling eyelashes.
In the open gazebo, Paul and Sam were sitting on the ground with Miranda in between them. Sam had dozed off, his head drooping down. From Hansel's angle, it looked like he was resting on Miranda's shoulder. Paul also had his eyes closed, but his posture was more composed than Sam's. He supported h
Madison and Sebastian also came over to help. Soon, the ambulance arrived. The nurse and doctor identified the patient. After a brief examination, they carefully moved Miranda onto a stretcher with Paul and Sam's assistance before moving her into the ambulance. The accompanying nurse called out,
Tina stomped her feet angrily as she watched her older brother drive off her pursuit of Miranda. She was his biological sister, and yet he didn't even consider giving her a ride…In addition, it was for Miranda again. She truly felt that she and Miranda were fated to be enemies!…At the emergency d
Paul knew the password to her lock screen and mobile payment…Paul replied in an indifferent tone without even sparing them a glance, "She told me."Sam and Hansel were both stunned to silence.…When Miranda woke up, it seemed to be daytime when she looked out the window. There was no sunshine, but
"What… What are you two doing?" Zach stood frozen in place, holding a wash basin. His eyes were wide, and he looked like a total fool.Miranda and Winter both turned to look at him simultaneously. "Why are you so slow? It took you an hour just to buy a wash basin." As she spoke, Winter took the was
Zach's hand wandered and slipped under her sweater, skillfully undoing the double row of hooks on her back. "Winter… Winter…" he murmured her name between kisses. His voice was gentle, yet his actions were aggressive, as if he was about to devour her whole. Winter had to exert some strength to pu
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
