Miranda asked, "Dr. Jefferson, why are you at the hospital?"Only then did Paul tear his gaze away from Sawyer. His eyes softened instantly when they landed on Miranda. "I…"At that moment, Silas walked up to them, clutching his stomach. He interjected and answered for Paul, "He's here to accompany
Sawyer scratched his head and chuckled awkwardly. "I'd like to, but…"Though Miranda didn't dislike him, she also didn't show any clear affection toward him.He was stuck in a state of emotional limbo, leaving him feeling frustrated. But even so, he was willing to endure it. Miranda was unaware of
Silas sighed and said, "Since you want to change the situation, why don't you talk to her and make things clear?"Paul remained silent while Silas continued, "You're scared, Paul. You're afraid that she'll reject you once you bring everything out in the open. Then, the two of you can't even remain f
Madison exclaimed, "Miranda, do you even need to ask our opinion on this? If you think it's worth it, let's do it. Just tell us what you need us to do. We'll definitely cooperate to the best of our ability!"Sebastian nodded. "That's right. We'll follow your lead. You can make the decision."Taken a
More than a year ago, Miranda borrowed Paul's experimental physics lab, where she met Silas, Sandy, and the rest of the team. Over the course of a few months, they went from strangers to close colleagues and friends.One day, Silas noticed how unusually fast Miranda was processing the experimental d
"A breakup?" Miranda asked, surprised."You don't know?" Silas asked.She shook her head.Silas sat closer and lowered his voice as he prepared to share some juicy gossip. "When Paul got back from Moonville, two days barely passed before he fired Elizabeth," he began. The mention of this triggered
While Miranda stood frozen in a daze, Paul stepped closer. The usual warmth and refinement in his demeanor had disappeared and was replaced by an intensity she had never seen before.She hadn't yet processed what was happening and instinctively stepped back until her back hit the wall. In the next m
Miranda asked, "So, you were quietly mulling all this over in your head before saying anything?""Yeah," Paul replied."No wonder…" she muttered softly."What?" He didn't catch that.Miranda smiled and shook her head. "It's nothing. Doesn't matter anymore. Let's go."They held hands and walked towar
"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.
