The two of them entered the shop. Paul raised an eyebrow. "Are you buying a fishing rod?"Miranda simply replied, "I'm just looking."However, her browsing turned into a purchase. "Miss, you've got great taste! Our Carpenter fishing rods are not only high-performance but also incredibly stylish. T
Miranda's breath hitched in her throat, and she tightened her grip on the phone instinctively. However, the phone screen wasn't locked as she was still holding onto her phone. Her fingers accidentally brushed against the WhatsApp interface. After a short ringing tone was heard, Lionel's voice boom
Mindy stopped him in time. "Wait a minute, don't rush into it.""How can I not be anxious? It's already this late at night. Who knows who that extra person in her house will be? What if… what if it's a dangerous man…" Lionel trailed off. "It shouldn't be. You were on a video call with her for so lo
Meanwhile, Miranda had no idea that the photo she sent had sparked a frenzy in solving the mystery. All she knew was that the bed was really soft, and the man pressing down on her was really heavy. Miranda sighed and raised her hand to stop his kisses."What's the matter?" Paul asked. "It's my ti
After breakfast, Miranda left for work, while Paul stayed home instead of going to the lab. "Mimi…" he called after her. Miranda was already at the stairway. She turned back at the sound of his voice. "Yes?"Paul walked up to her and leaned down, planting a kiss on her forehead. "Come home early."
"Why are you here?" Miranda asked.Paul raised the stackable lunchbox in his hand. "I'm here to bring you lunch."Joli was taken aback.Great. Everyone around here had their lunches delivered except him!Annoyed, he turned and stormed back to the lab bench. "Lunch? Who needs that anyway? Work is eve
Miranda sighed. "Dr. Jefferson, you'll turn me into a lazy, gluttonous woman if you keep this up.""Don't worry, I can afford to do that," Paul replied. Miranda was at a loss for words. They spent the evening together until almost 10:00 pm. Before leaving for his own place, Paul prepared ginger an
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
