The following morning, Paul finished the breakfast Miranda had brought over for him.Mindy and Lionel had spent the night at Miranda's place, and the couple was still asleep. So, Miranda got up early and made sandwiches."What do you want for dinner? I'll go grocery shopping later," she asked casual
Mindy said, "If you're lucky to meet someone who shares your vision, move forward confidently. But if you don't or part ways along the journey, you must be prepared to keep going on your own.""Got it." Miranda nodded lightly. "I will.""We women are pretty amazing," Mindy suddenly mused. "If there'
After sending the message, Paul put his phone away and headed home."Mr. Paul, you're back." The housekeeper, Tundra Valmont, smiled and stepped forward to fetch his slippers.He waved her off. "Tundra, I've got it."She chuckled.Among the three Jefferson brothers, Paul was the only one who insiste
Susan nodded. "Okay. Let's eat first."Yale froze for a moment."What? Aren't you hungry?" Susan asked."No… Now that you mention it, I'm starving." Yale laughed, though he couldn't help but wonder why his mother had called the three brothers home for dinner. It didn't make sense. There had to be s
Paul said, "Her name is Miranda Sutton. We're in a serious relationship with marriage in mind. So, you can focus on setting up blind dates for Alex and Yale. I don't need it." He looked straight at Susan as he spoke. He was sharp enough to realize that last night's phone call might have been a setu
Yale was completely shaken by what he had just heard. Alex was just as stunned.By the time they snapped out of it, the only thing that came to mind was, "Damn! That was brutal." They had the same parents, but only the golden child could pull this off without consequences.As for Felix…When his w
When Miranda unlocked the door, she was pulled into a warm embrace."Mimi," Paul said.She could tell something was off. After a brief silence, she asked, "What's wrong? Did something happen?""Don't give up. I'll take care of everything in our way. Just trust me, okay?"Miranda was confused at firs
"Having a child is both a physical sacrifice and an emotional commitment. I want you to take this step only after careful consideration, not on a whim or in the heat of the moment," Mindy advised.Miranda nodded. "Don't worry. I know what I'm doing.""That's a relief." Mindy turned and linked her ar
"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
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
