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
Miranda continued, "We've accomplished something that no one else has. Doesn't that warrant special treatment and a new precedent?"Her words were sharp, cutting straight to the bone. Hendrix and Beckett were left speechless.She had a point. She wasn't asking for direct admission just for particip
Just as Miranda turned to leave, Beckett quickly stopped her. "Hey, wait! Ms. Sutton, don't be so quick to decide. Now that you're here…" His tone softened. "Let's talk this through. We can work something out, right?"She sneered. "Mr. Haddock, you didn't sound too open to compromise a minute ago.
"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
"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.
