Miranda asked, "Tell me honestly, when did you arrive?"Paul was about to say that he arrived ten minutes ago when the words caught in his throat. Finally, he gave her a helpless smile. "Alright… an hour ago.""Why did you come so early? Didn't I send you my flight details?""I wanted to see you soo
"Um… Did I say anything wrong?" Miranda asked.The veins in Paul's forehead were throbbing. She began analyzing with a smile. "The fact that he gave me a reminder instead of demanding an answer in a rage shows that he has a kind nature. At the very least, his values are solid. "Once everything was
Paul asked, "Don't you know why I'm smiling?"Miranda replied, "Should I?""It's because of you. What do you think?"Miranda looked into his eyes and saw a depth of affection that seemed ready to overflow at any moment. She asked, "Dr. Jefferson, let's play a game, shall we?""How does it work?""We
Miranda's biological clock woke her naturally at dawn. She got up, freshened up, and changed into her clothes. She had a class in the morning, but it was still very early. Miranda headed to the kitchen to check on the oatmeal she had made using the electric slow cooker last night. Steam billowed o
Sebastian was at a loss for words. What followed was Madison's live commentary on the food. She gushed, "Oh my gosh! This is really delicious! The sauce is a little spicy, but it's not too overwhelming. It's the fragrant kind, paired with pepper and onions. This is absolutely heavenly!"The pancake
This minor incident had little to do with Miranda and her group. They just listened to the news and moved on. Still, hearing about their college's loss always left a bitter taste. Honors and awards in academia weren't just about the college's reputation, but they were also tied to national pride. T
Joli had gone ahead to take a number earlier before coming to meet up with them all at the main gates. Coincidentally, their turn was just coming up when they arrived at the restaurant. Joli remarked, "This was Madison's idea. It's so practical!" Madison clasped her hands behind her back and grinn
A tall, elegant man with a refined and gentle smile was crossing the street. He walked toward the group and stopped next to Miranda. Madison said, "Oh, it's Dr. Jefferson. I was worried about Miranda going home alone, but this works out perfectly."She didn't think much of it at all. Sebastian and
"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
