At the end of May, Mindy traveled to Jandersville for the launch event of an Intellectual Property adaptation movie.Since it was the weekend, Lionel accompanied his wife. He also brought Miranda a large bag of pre-packaged braised beef and six cans of homemade pickles."It's all organic and no addi
Miranda immediately pulled out her phone and sent a message to Paul. "Dr. Jefferson, my dad sent me some braised beef. There's some for you as well. When will you be home? I'll bring it to you." She also sent him a photo along with the message.He replied promptly, "Please thank Mr. Sutton for me,
When the rainy season began, the weather turned unpredictable. Yesterday had been sunny, but it drizzled today. Paul, who hadn't brought an umbrella, arrived home drenched. He immediately took a hot shower and changed into his loungewear.While drying his hair, he noticed the bare mattress and froz
"What's on your mind?" Miranda chuckled. "I'm not made of iron. If the task isn't urgent, why pull an all-nighter? What's the fun in that?"Madison agreed, "You're right. Then, how come you…""I just got up a little earlier than you."Madison sighed in relief and grinned. She asked casually, "How mu
Jordana froze momentarily, then chuckled. "You saw right through me… Fine. I'll lower it by 10%, but that's my bottom line."Miranda raised an eyebrow. "30%. That's my limit."Jordana paused. Miranda set her coffee cup down, stood up, and casually finished her drink. "Looks like we won't reach an a
Miranda took the earring, thanked Sawyer again, and put it back on as she walked.He began, "Ms. Sutton…""Is there anything else?" she asked.Sawyer stammered, "I… I was wondering if I could treat you to a meal. How about tonight? If you're busy, just let me know when you're available so I can resc
Miranda was momentarily stunned. "Dr. Jefferson? When did he get here?""Around 2:00 pm. He waited for over an hour. But since you haven't returned, he left about ten minutes ago." Ten minutes ago…"Miranda, is Dr. Jefferson under a lot of stress lately? Did their lab get assigned another project?
Miranda had been living in the lab for almost two weeks. Originally, the intensive focus period could have ended two days earlier. However, Madison seemed to be exceptionally motivated and decided to put in extra effort for some reason. She insisted on finalizing the second phase of the experiment
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
