"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
Everyone in Miranda Sutton and Hansel Johnson's friend circle knew that she was head-over-heels in love with him.She loved him so much that her entire life revolved around him. There was no such thing as personal space for her, and she would've preferred it if she could be with him 24 hours a day,
At the dining table, Hansel didn't seem pleased with what had been served for breakfast. "Where's my pumpkin soup?""You mean cream of vegetable soup?""Cream of vegetable soup?""Yes. I know that Ms. Sutton makes that all the time. It's the one made with pumpkin, potatoes, onions, and celery, right
"Is Miranda having a hard time finding a parking spot? I can go and help—"Calvin suddenly saw Hansel's thunderously black face, and the realization finally dawned on him. "Oh! Hans, has Miranda… not returned yet?"It was long past three hours.Hansel spread his arms and shrugged. "Returned? You tho
Hansel had had quite a lot to drink the night before. Somewhere in the middle of the night, Calvin had suddenly made a huge fuss about continuing their drinking session at a second bar.By the time Hansel's driver, Dan Rover, brought him back to the mansion, the sun was already starting to rise.Han
"What's the matter with Hans?" Calvin asked, inching his butt a little closer toward Zach after glancing at Hansel, who kept drinking solemnly by himself.Hansel had had a dark look on his face ever since he'd stepped into the room. Even the lively atmosphere in the room had cooled down because of h
"I need to apologize to her for my foolishness and rash decision-making in the past. I owe her that at the very least," Miranda said.Winter nearly choked on her wine. She coughed twice, reluctance written all over her face. "Spare me, please. It's not like you don't know her elective class was the
Upon closer inspection, Hansel only realized that Miranda had straightened her hair and dyed it back to black from the brown color he used to love. She also hadn't put on makeup or worn her heels out. In fact, the white T-shirt she wore was also as plain as plain could be.However, her eyes seemed

"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.
