At that moment, her gaze froze. There was a pair of boxers lying in a corner next to the washing machine!Miranda quickly averted her eyes once she realized what it was. In the living room, Paul seemed to have remembered something. His body stiffened as he cursed silently. Then, he immediately stoo
In the evening, Miranda finally stepped down from the lab bench, removing her lab coat as she went. Madison exclaimed in surprise, "Miranda, are you leaving?""Yes.""This early?"It wasn't that she was overacting, but this was the first time for a workaholic like Miranda to leave work on time. Wha
It was hard to tell how long it took, but Madison finally calmed down. The first full sentence she blurted out was, "Seb, are you crazy?"Then came, "Or did someone put a spell on you?"And finally, "How… How could you possibly like me?"The whole situation was so overwhelming that she couldn't help
Madison drove back to her apartment, and the darkness of night had already settled outside.On most evenings, she would have been eating her delivery from Flavorscape by now. However, she had lately developed a fondness for a new place called Noir Plate. As a regular, she had even signed up for thei
Every time Sebastian thought about the possibility, he felt a tightness in his chest. Since there was no actual reason, he decided to be the one to make Madison stay in Jandersville. Though he knew that reason wasn't enough, he believed that one day, it would be.When he arrived at the lab, as expec
When Paul gave Miranda water, he was extra careful about the angle of the glass and worried that the wrong tilt might make her choke.While looking at his serious and focused expression, she couldn't help but wonder if he was taking something so simple and turning it into a major project.After she
It turned out that Sam and Miranda really did have a "close relationship", but it was a different kind of relationship from what Paul had imagined. So, he was elated and practically bursting with excitement.She blinked in surprise when she heard his open confession. "Why didn't you just ask me abou
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
