As for Hansel, Sam's silence was equivalent to his admission. Furious, he slammed his palm onto the steering wheel. His car horn blared loudly, piercing through the still night. Someone immediately started yelling upstairs, "What the hell are you doing in the middle of the night? Are you looking f
The other man was momentarily taken aback when his gaze fell on Zach. "Winter, who's this?"Clearly, he wanted Winter to do the introductions personally. Zach was also curious to hear how she would introduce him. Although his expression remained composed, his ears had pricked up long ago as a glimm
"Winter, I missed you so much!" With that, Zach leaned in and gave her a passionate kiss. Winter responded to the kiss skillfully. Honestly, she had missed him too…Zach's hand slid under her shirt, his movements growing bolder. However, Winter stopped him before he went any further. "Huh?" He lo
Winter gestured to the overturned ottoman at the foot of the bed with her chin. Zach instantly understood what she meant and quickly rushed to set it upright. He put it back in its place. "Now, will you stay a little longer?" he said expectantly. Zach had already leaned in before she could answer.
Madison piped up, "We did!""So quickly?" Miranda asked. "It's just a day tour to places near the city. We are done after a one-day trip. How long do you think it would take?" Miranda shifted her puzzled look to Sebastian. If she remembered correctly, his original itinerary was for a three-day, tw
Madison immediately forgot about the extra mile she would have to run tomorrow after learning that there would be good food. She turned and hugged Miranda, bouncing around like a rabbit. "This is amazing, Miranda! How did you know I've been craving the roasted chicken from Tasty Bistro long ago?"
Madison let out a satisfied burp after finishing off the drumstick. "Ah, this is pure bliss! I don't have many ambitions in life. As long as I can eat good food, I'm happy to just be a food scientist."Madison's thoughts were simple. She loved academia and loved food. Combining the two was her ultim
Madison had seen a glimpse of human nature through the tenants. She was also used to the countless disputes and entanglements between people. It was easier said than done to be entirely unaffected by external influences. Sebastian said, "Over time, I've realized that nothing in this world is absolu
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
