Chapter 0129
Miranda took a huge bite of the strawberry. Her eyes immediately lit up in a bright smile. “It’s delicious!”
Mindy looked at the smile on Miranda’s face and was suddenly reminded of the state she’d come home in earlier. She felt her heart stirring and gently took Miranda’s hand in the warmth of her palms. Then, she took a proper look at Miranda, from her hair to her face.
“You’ve gotten thinner,”
Miranda’s mouth was stuffed full with strawberries, and her cheeks were bulging with them. She widened her eyes and shook her head, saying, “No way! I just weighed myself, and I’ve put on two pounds since last week!
“I just look like I lost weight. Look, my hands are still chubby and meaty.” Miranda then put on a frustrated look and said, “I think I need

Miranda’s eyes glossed over. She then said as lightheartedly as possible, “I’m fine.”
“What about that guy, what’s his name again? Why didn’t he come back with you this time?”
Finally, there was no evading this question after all.

He simply sighed and said, “You were both never meant to be. It’s good that you’ve broken up now.”
It was obvious that Miranda was still half asleep.
“Isn’t it only 7:30 am now?” Miranda drawled, seeing that the sky hadn’t even lit up outside the window.
