How come the webât bare the Fireâ
As soon at Evelyn asked that question, a deathly silence fell over the room.
Hansel said nothing, his face expressionless Those in the know, like Calvin and Zach, didnât dare to utter a word either.
Finally. Sam was the one who quietly broke the silence. âThey broke up. Didnât you
know?â
Evelyn frowned. âWhy is she still throwing a tantrum? How many days has it been? Her temper sure has gotten a lot worse!â
When Hansel heard that, his face darkened.
âUm, Evelyn, Iâm afraid that this time, itâs not that easyâ¦â Sam gave Evelyn a glance.
âWhat does that mean? Is Miranda acting high and mighty?âContent is © 2024 .
âMom,â Hansel interrupted coldly. His expression was just as frigid. âThis time, weâre really over. I was the one who wanted to break up.â
âWhat?â Evelyn was stunned.
Tina was also surprised. Looking back, Miranda had indeed been fighting with Hansel for some timeâ¦.
Evelyn exited the hospital room. She didnât even wait until she was out of the hospital to call Miranda.
When the call connected, she laughed coldly before the latter could say anything.â Miranda, who do you think you are? Youâd already used up all your luck when my son fell for you in the first place!
âAfter he spent so much money on you over the years, is this how you repay him? You donât have a conscience. Even a stray dog would understand gratitude better than you!
Gritting her teeth, she continued, âHans is sick now. When are you getting over here?â
On the other end, Miranda listened quietly without managing to get a single word in. Finally, she replied in a calm tone, âIâm sorry, but your son has nothing to do with me
now.â
After hanging up, she blocked Evelynâs number. Then, she opened WhatsApp and blocked Evelyn on the app too.
Afterward, she let out a heavy breath. Sheâd never felt so carefree and at ease before.
Meanwhile, Evelyn couldnât believe that Miranda had just hung up on her. She tried to call back, but when she heard the dial tone, she stomped her feet in anger.
âFine, Miranda! You think youâre all that, huh?
When Solomon saw a subtle smile on Mirandaâs lips, he asked, âDid something happen?â
Miranda shook her head. Sheâd just resolved some troublesome matters, that was all.
After another day of studying, the sky had already darkened. The two of them left the library.
The night breeze was rather chilly. A dim yellow light illuminated the pedestrianâs path, and leaves rustled in the wind.
Solomon gazed at the side of Mirandaâs face. Her flawless skin looked a little cold.
He mustered up the courage. âYesterday, you said you had to take a raincheck for dinner. Well, since weâre here, what about today? Of course, if you have other plans, then donât worry about it.â
Miranda thought about it. Solomon had helped her a lot during this time. She shouldâve treated him to a meal long ago.
âSure. I have some ingredients at home. If you donât mind, would you like to try my cooking?â
Solomon was pleasantly surprised. âOh, yâyour home?â
Miranda nodded. âItâs just a tenâminute walk from here, so itâs pretty close. However, if you think itâs better to eat out, we can also do that. You can choose what you want to
eat.â
When Solomon realized that she hadnât meant anything by that, he let out a sigh of disappointment. âItâs fine. A homeâcooked meal is greatâitâs clean and hygienic. Well, I canât wait.â
