After persevering for two weeks, Miranda finally stopped going to the lab after completing the third phase of the model experiments. Joli, however, showed no signs of going home at all. "Don't your parents need help at home?" Miranda asked.At this time of the year, households in Yalemount were bu
With Esme's help, Miranda transported the dishes upstairs effortlessly. Miranda quickly realized that Esme's strength wasn't ordinary. Although she appeared to be delicate and elegant, she managed to lift the large container of food with one hand and place it steadily on the table. Miranda swallow
Bryan wasn't as shameless as Silas, so he turned around to get his own plate. Miranda thought she'd have to wait for everyone to return before serving the food, so she didn't rush to open the food containers. Unexpectedly, Esme suddenly pulled out a plate and a set of cutleries from seemingly out
Silas packed the remaining soup into his lunchbox to be brought home. "I'll heat it up later and have it for dinner."Miranda couldn't help but find their reactions a little too dramatic. "Is my cooking really that good?" she asked. Silas immediately launched into a rant. "Miranda, you don't unders
Despite the growing crowd, the engaged couple was nowhere to be seen. Susan watched as two more guests entered the venue. The moment she withdrew her gaze, the smile on her lips faded slightly. "Where's Alex? Yolanda has to stay inside to do her makeup and get dressed, so she can't come out to gre
The entire venue erupted into chaos. "This kid said he's from the Jefferson family? What does that even mean?""What else could it mean? It's so obvious. He barged in to stop Mr. Alex's engagement and claimed to be from the Jefferson family, so he's 100% Alex's illegitimate son.""That's impossible
Alex flipped straight to the last page of the report. "After examination, Sample A and Sample B…"The moment his eyes landed on that line, his barely composed expression shifted to utterly shocked. The next second, he lifted his head and looked in the direction of Paul and Miranda. Paul was stunne
Alex laughed in exasperation and asked, "Is it good?"Austin nodded. "It's okay. Not as sweet as the ones we grow in our estate.""Do you even have an estate?""Yeah. Why?"Alex was about to respond when the door opened from the outside. The next second, Felix and Susan stepped into the lounge. Yal
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.
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
