The college's neglected official website rarely drew attention, but the announcement spread like wildfire.After all, it involved Paul, Bedford College's physics heartthrob, widely hailed as the most handsome scientist in history. Even such a simple announcement sparked heated discussions.At that m
Bryan clicked his tongue as he recalled Elizabeth's call from yesterday. She tried to use him just to get close to Paul, and he found her antics laughable. He walked to the corner, pulled out his phone, and blocked her number without a second thought.…At 5:00 pm, Silas stretched and prepared to ca
As Paul changed into his slippers, he looked up and saw Lionel and Mindy at the table, getting ready to eat. The couple also looked up at him at the same time. Paul's mind went blank. The sudden, focused attention from both of them caught him off guard like time had just stopped.Finally, Miranda b
When Miranda returned, Lionel had already asked Paul to join him for a drink. The dinner went smoothly, and the two seemed to get along well—at least, that was how it appeared to Lionel. After three rounds of drinks, the atmosphere was relaxed and mellow.Lionel said, "Paul, let me be honest with yo
"I do," Paul said firmly. After a beat, he added, "As much as I want to, I'll respect your decision. If you're ready, we'll tell them. If you're not, we'll keep it between us for now."Miranda chuckled. "Were you surprised when you walked in earlier?""Surprised? Not exactly, but it definitely caugh
Miranda responded calmly, "It came with the laundry detergent I bought at the store. I didn't pay attention to the size, but I can still use it."She was being honest."Paul, how about a quick game or two?" Lionel asked with a smile as he rubbed his hands in anticipation."Sure," Paul agreed without
"Good night, Miranda," Paul said."Goodbye, Dr. Jefferson."As Lionel reached the door, he saw the two exchanging friendly goodbyes.Paul's door was already open, though the lights were off. He turned to look at Lionel and said, "Mr. Sutton, get some rest.""Oh! You too!" Lionel quickly replied.Aft
The heat from Paul's solid body pressed through the thin material of Miranda's shirt. Even his breath felt warm—damp and clinging to her skin.He said, "And that's it."She clicked her tongue. "You really don't hold back, do you?""I'm hugging my girlfriend. Why should I?""You'd only make a move wh
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
