Madison was eating lunch in the pantry of Infinity Lab. She waved Miranda over excitedly when she spotted her walking in. "Miranda, come over here. Let's eat together!"Miranda glanced at Sebastian, who was about to walk over. "Huh?"Weren't these two usually inseparable? Why today…Sure enough, Seb
"By the way, who called last night?" Miranda asked. "Did you pick up? I fell asleep, but when I checked the call log in the morning, there were some unknown numbers. The last one even had a two-minute call record."Paul raised an eyebrow. Then, a slow smile appeared on his face. Unknown numbers…"N
Willow spoke into the phone, "I'm in the dorm… I'm free. Okay, see you at the main gates in half an hour."She hung up the phone and immediately stood up. Opening her wardrobe, she started picking out clothes. Lia couldn't help but say in a teasing tone, "Ooh! Is it your boyfriend?"Willow only smi
Hansel didn't linger after he was done talking. With a tired expression, he turned and headed upstairs. "The driver is outside. He'll take you back to campus."Willow stood frozen in place as she watched him walk away. She didn't know how long she stood there before finally picking up the check on t
Willow had deliberately checked to make sure the trash can was empty when she threw the check away. This meant he would definitely see it sooner or later. She waited endlessly. Soon, two days passed in the blink of an eye. Her phone remained completely silent, and her patience was running thin. A
Sebastian thought it over for a moment. "This isn't just for nothing, right? What do we get if we win?" Madison shot up from her seat and pointed at him. "You… you… Don't tell me you actually want to participate?"Sebastian took her hand with a smile. "Don't get so worked up. Be good and sit down.
Hendrix retorted, "What do you mean by that? This is about bringing glory to our college and country!"Beckett's lips twitched. "Just don't use that as emotional blackmail later. Students these days don't buy into that. They're independent, self-aware, and know how to set boundaries. So, stroke her
Hendrix almost laughed out of sheer frustration. He shot a furious gaze at Beckett that screamed, "Did you hear that? She actually has the nerve to negotiate with us!"Beckett quickly signaled for him to stay calm and not get too worked up. Losing his temper wouldn't solve anything. Miranda had mad
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
