Sam stayed by Miranda's side while they were at Aren and Fiona's home. It was fun, and she was genuinely happy. But eventually, the late hour started to take its toll, and fatigue set in.Once she got home, she immediately took a shower. As she was drying her hair and getting ready to go to bed, she
Paul cleared his throat and said awkwardly, "…I haven't had dinner yet."Miranda noticed his ears turning red and couldn't help but laugh, though she quickly stifled it to avoid making him feel more embarrassed. "How about some pasta?" she suggested.He nodded. "That would be great, thanks.""Okay.
Paul lowered his eyes, staring intently at the empty beer can as if it were adorned with flowers. His tone seemed casual as he asked, "Did you have fun at the Garrisons today?"Miranda nodded and replied honestly, "Grandma prepared a table full of delicious dishes for lunch, followed by all sorts of
Paul glanced at the clock on the wall and belatedly realized how inappropriate the hour was. His ears turned red almost instantly, but he maintained a serious expression. "Not tonight, then. Let's… go tomorrow night instead. How about that?""Sure," Miranda agreed with a nod."Are you heading to th
Madison stared blankly at her laptop. "How could this happen?"Sebastian also searched the list several times, his brows furrowing slightly. "Don't panic. Check the first, second, and third prize lists as well.""Alright."Ten minutes later, Madison looked even more bewildered. "I've gone through th
The staff's face froze momentarily. She instinctively glanced at her computer screen. Even though it was already minimized and hidden, how…A colleague couldn't hold back. "Why did you even provoke her? Her logic, reasoning, and speaking skills are top-tier."She asked, "That student is so sharp-ton
"It's still the same. No one is answering," said Sebastian."Unbelievable! The faculty's dodging responsibility, and now the organizers are playing dead. Don't tell me there's nothing fishy going on here!" Madison huffed.Miranda paused for a moment, an idea forming in her mind. "For competitions of
Miranda blinked in confusion.Paul chuckled. "Does it sound a little far-fetched? Just wait until you meet him. You'll see for yourself."Ten minutes later, a tall figure appeared before them. "Hey, Paul!"Miranda looked up, and even though she thought she was prepared, her eyes widened in shock.Th
"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
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
