Miranda held the phone to her ear in a daze. The voice on the other end let out a soft chuckle. "What's the matter? You've even called me by name now, but you're still hesitating to meet me? "Or… could it be that you don't want to accept our current relationship, and everything you said before was
Miranda froze in surprise. Sam was wearing a well-fitted black coat that accentuated his broad shoulders and narrow waist. But his face looked thinner. His cheeks were slightly sunken, making his dark eyes appear even deeper and more mysterious. Sam curled his lips and picked up the cup. The tempe
Paul blurted out a steady stream of remarks, "It seems that you have a corn and tuna mayo sandwich."Sam remained silent as Paul continued, "I've had it a few times, so I recognized it right away."Annoyed, Sam thought, "Did I ask for an explanation? And yet you keep on talking. Stop trying to boast
"Troublesome? How so?" Miranda was surprised. She couldn't help feeling curious as this was the first time she'd heard anyone describe Mindy that way. Aren answered, "Don't be fooled by how gentle and refined your mother is now. When she was a child, she would climb trees to catch birds or fish in
Miranda said, "Sure. I only had a quick glance around when I came in. I didn't have a chance to have a close look at the garden."Fiona had a weak back. Sitting for too long would make her uncomfortable, so Miranda had actually planned to take her outside for a stroll. This was a perfect opportunity
Sam gestured for her to open the door. Miranda raised her hand, placed it on the door handle, and pushed gently. She had always known Sam had excellent taste, but everything she saw was beyond her expectations in terms of his attention to detail. A faint subtle scent wafted into her nostrils. It
Sam suggested, "With such a sumptuous spread, why don't we take a group photo since it is Mimi's first visit?"This suggestion was right up the alley for the elderly couple. They hadn't taken a photo with their granddaughter yet!Aren nodded immediately. "Yes, this is definitely an event worth comme
Sam's smile froze. He continued swiping left, and the next photo was the one he had just taken of the dinner table. An idea came to his mind as he opened his social media and posted the photo with a simple caption, "Finally reunited."His post garnered numerous likes in just a short while. The comm
"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.
