However, the person who entered wasn't Miranda. It was Willow. Her heart missed a beat when she saw Hansel's dark expression. She quickly explained, "Calvin called and said you were drunk. He was worried about you being alone, so he asked me to come and check on you."As she spoke, she walked over
Miranda would turn and playfully hit his chest while he pulled her into his embrace…"You're up?" Willow was surprised when she turned and saw Hansel there. Hansel was jolted back to reality and nodded. "Yes.""Um… I couldn't get a ride last night, so I stayed in the guest room. I figured your stom
Fiona was startled as she had never seen Mindy so serious before. "Min, what's going on?""Mom, Dad, let's sit down and talk," Mindy said. The elderly couple followed her to the couch and sat down. She added, "Lionel, Mimi, you two should listen too."They exchanged glances and obediently sat down
Back when Mindy's disappearance was confirmed, Fiona couldn't help but suspect Nelly when the police failed to find her and had to give up. The two sisters had gone out together, yet only Mindy was abducted. If the abductors were after money, wouldn't it have made more sense to capture both of them
Mindy revealed the truth of what happened all those years ago to her parents. After they learned about the truth, their anger and hatred were inevitable. Fortunately, their health wasn't affected, nor did either of them faint on the spot. Mindy felt greatly relieved when she saw them calm down. Af
"So, you mean…" the first person trailed off."I'm thinking about Ms. Minnie's daughter, the granddaughter of the Garrison family!" the man replied. "I heard she's gorgeous, has a great figure, and the elders adore her. If she takes a liking to me, I'll save myself more than ten years of hard work!"
Fiona held Mindy's hand tightly. "It's been over 20 years. I never dared to dream that this day would come. Fortunately, fate hadn't treated me too harshly and finally allowed our family to reunite."Seeing her reddened eyes, Aren chuckled to lighten the mood. "Have you forgotten what the doctor sai
"Ugh! Are you trying to curse me? What are you even thinking?" Winter rolled her eyes in exasperation. "Falling for Hansel? Am I that desperate?""No, of course not!" Zach grinned and glanced behind her. "Did you come alone?""Yes?" "Did the Jefferson family send you as their representative?""Jeez
"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.
