When fate plays its hand

Chapter 1004

Meanwhile, in a quiet alley under the same night sky, Miranda couldn’t stop herself from smiling as she put away her phone.

Paul threw away his trash and walked over to join her. What’s making you so happy?” he asked.

“A social media post on my food.”

Paul said, “Whose is it?”

Miranda unlocked her phone and handed it to him. for yourself.”

Here, s

Paul took the phone and glanced at it briefly. He said in surprise, “Sebastian and Madison?”

“Yes, are you surprised?”

Paul thought for a moment. “It was a little surprising at first, but the more I think about it, the more obvious it was.”

“Why is it obvious?”

“Don’t you think the way they interact is very similar to how we were before? We ended up together, so isn’t it natural for them to be together as well?”

“Are we really that similar?”

Paul said firmly, “Yes, very similar.”

“Now that you mention it… It does seem like it.”

Paul swiped through her phone and clicked on Madison’s profile. “Why is it only Sebastian who posted?

“Madison didn’t post anything?” Miranda took her phone back. Sure enough, she hadn’t.

“Do you think Sebastian’s staring at his phone right now and refreshing it over and over? He must be feeling uneasy and thinking of the reason why his girlfriend hasn’t said anything even though he had announced their relationship on social media. Is she regretting it at this moment?” Paul mused. noveldrama

“Pfft… How do you know so much? You even got his inner monologue down to the last syllable.”

Paul sighed. “We’re in the same boat. Who wouldn’t know how it feels?”

Miranda froze for a moment before realizing he was using Sebastian as an example to tease her!

Paul had posted a Cartesian heart curve on his social media that night they became a couple, indirectly announcing their relationship. However, Miranda’s social media was silent.

“Dr. Jefferson, were you feeling that uneasy back then? Were you afraid I’d go back on my word?”

“Yes, very afraid.”

At that moment, a new post popped up on Miranda’s feed. It was from Madison. Miranda refreshed her feed, and Madison’s new post appeared at the top. It was just posted moments ago.

Her post was the same photo that Sebastian posted. The caption was, “Yes, he’s my boyfriend.”

Sebastián liked it within seconds.

Miranda was a little taken aback. He really was waiting on his phone for Madison’s response!

She turned to look at Paul, who had a knowing expression on his face.

“Fine,” she thought,

The two of them walked upstairs, hand in hand.

“Mrs. Garrison Senior told me to come by again sometime when we visited the Garrison estate the other day,” Paul said.

“And?”

“Can I show up next time with a different identity? Like, as their precious granddaughter’s boyfriend?”

Miranda asked, “You want to make it official?”

“I do.”

“Then why didn’t you hold my hand when we walked in last time?”

Paul rubbed his nose awkwardly. “I didn’t bring a gift, so it didn’t feel formal enough. I’ll do it right next time.”

“Alright.”

Paul instantly lit up with a smile.

When they reached her door, Miranda walked in first. Paul hesitated for a moment. He was unsure whether to follow her in or head to his own apartment

It was quite late, around 11:00 pm. He should be saying goodbye, but he really wanted to hang out at Miranda’s place.

Miranda called out to him, “What are you standing there for? Come in.”

Paul entered her apartment happily and took off his shoes. They watched the late–night news together on the couch. Then, Miranda walked him to the door before he left.

Paul suddenly wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her into his arms. Lowering his head, he planted a long and tender kiss on her lips.,

In a few days, Paul had transformed from initially clumsy and awkward to experimenting with different techniques by copying her. After he gradually mastered the technique, he could now take her breath away with effortless finesse.

Throughout his change, Miranda was both the witness and the recipient. She found the experience…

Indescribable,

Miranda was left breathless when the kiss finally ended, her lips glistening a rosy red.
