Lionel continued, "I have to give him a hard time, don't I? I need to show him the full authority and stature of Miranda's parents. "I have to make it clear that Mimi has people who cherish and support her, so he wouldn't underestimate her worth. He will weigh his actions carefully before daring to
Although it was summer vacation, Paul couldn't just rest endlessly. Taking two days off to spend time with Lionel and Mindy was already the limit. "I'm heading to Shenzania tomorrow," he said. "Huh?" Dressed in a nightgown, Miranda was eating a pudding Paul made as she sat on the couch. She paused
Paul said, "He never changed his phone wallpaper.""Huh? Dr. Quinton's phone wallpaper is ex-his wife?" Miranda was shocked. "Why are you so surprised?"Miranda muttered under her breath, "I thought it was some celebrity. She looked so familiar. His wife is really beautiful though. Honestly… she's
Paul took the chance to lean in and trapped Miranda between his chest and the bed. He had his arms propped up on either side of her head. Their eyes met, and the tension in the air thickened. Just as Miranda thought he might take things further, Paul suddenly rolled off her and lay on his back. "I'
"Am I that kind of person?" Silas retorted. "If she was already pregnant, then… then she should've had the baby! I may not know how to be a good father, but I can learn."He continued, "Louise never asked for my opinion. She selfishly decided everything on her own, and now I've missed out on three y
Fiona walked up to Sam happily. "Sam… Look at your face! Your cheeks are all sunken. I told you to let someone else go, but you wouldn't listen and insist on going yourself. Do you even realize what kind of place Ferica is…" The expression on her face betrayed her deep concern for Sam as she nagged
Lionel was momentarily stunned. "Miranda? She's doing well."Sam nodded in response and opened the car door for him. "Please, Uncle Lionel.""Oh, there's no need to be so polite. I can do it myself.""It's no trouble." Lionel had no choice but to bend down and get into the car. After closing the ca
Sam acted like he hadn't heard Lionel. He opened the car door and grabbed the bag with all the food. "It's fine. I'll walk you up.""Huh? It's okay. I can carry it myself." Lionel replied. He was in good shape. How could he let him carry the bag for him?He continued, "Go do your thing. You've got
Susan remained silent for the rest of the meal. She only concentrated on eating the food in front of her. Jenny, kept in check by Harold, didn't cause any more scenes, either. As the meal was nearing its end, several waiters suddenly entered the private room. Each one was elegantly dressed and wor
"What Mrs. Jenny said earlier made a lot of sense," Paul said. I've taken your words to heart."Then, he turned to Mindy and Lionel. "Please rest assured, Mr. and Mrs. Sutton. I know how lucky I am to have met Miranda. I'll always put her first, cherish her, and take full responsibility as her boyfr
"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
