This wasn't quite like Paul's usual "make every second count" personality. But he said, "Getting to spend more time with my girlfriend is my idea of making every second count, and… I'm fine with that." With that, he left with a cheerful stride.At the lab, Miranda was the first to arrive. Sebastian
Christine asked, "Oh, you're talking about Emilia Quimby?"Miranda echoed, "Emilia Quimby?""Yeah, she and Paul were in the Department of Biology together. I heard she was the campus belle back then."Miranda smiled and nodded. "She really was beautiful."Emilia's natural look was simple yet strikin
Miranda lifted the lid of the metal box and saw several smaller ones inside, some of which were neatly wrapped. On top lay a pink box that caught her eye—"Emilia Quimby," scrawled in bold black marker.What a coincidence… Just like Emilia had caught her eye in the graduation photo—not just for her b
"Whoa!" Olivia gasped.Paul and Miranda turned to look behind them. Their gazes locked with Olivia and Christine's, and an awkward silence followed.Miranda was the first to stand up. "Dr. Young…"Christine snapped out of her shock. Her lips parted as if to speak, but it took her a few seconds to fi
Miranda had no idea what Paul and Christine discussed in the study, but she wasn't just sitting around. During that time, she and Olivia prepared meat filling together and made nearly a hundred meatballs to freeze for later.Olivia said, "Great! Dr. Young loves the filling you make, and these will b
Paul said, "No one ever mentioned it in front of me."Christine said, "Well, no wonder. Back then, you were juggling biology and teaching yourself physics. You were basically doing the work of two people. And on top of that, you were working on projects with both your mentors after class. Who had th
When Paul mentioned "Emilia," Miranda immediately knew he must've figured it out. After a moment of thought, she guessed Christine must have said something to him last night.She turned to look at him with a faint smile. "Yeah, I know."He stared at her quizzically. "Aren't you curious about what it
Paul said, "Let me give you an example…"At these words, the students instinctively straightened up.Here it came. The first part had been all theory but now was the real point.At that moment, Paul had moved to the aisle in the middle of the lecture hall. He stopped, then suddenly pointed to a spot
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
Jenny's usage of the phrase, "real boyfriend", was quite interesting. As if Miranda even had a fake boyfriend before.Jack spoke up immediately. "Let me do the honors. This is Paul Jefferson, a professor at Bedford College's Faculty of Physics. He's the youngest leading figure in the country for the
A man stood at the entrance. He was tall and imposing, and he had a cold expression on his face. Miranda stood next to him and looked equally stoic. Jenny was taken aback. Shock flashed in her eyes as she asked, "You… Who are you?"Paul stepped forward confidently, still holding Miranda's hand. "I
