Miranda lifted the hem of her dress, being more cautious this time. No one made a big deal out of the small mishap, focusing instead on whether Miranda was hurt. 

Silas extended his arm toward her. “Here, Miranda, borrow this. There’s muscle! I guarantee you won’t fall. 

Only Elizabeth’s gaze lingered on Miranda’s waist, as if she wanted to burn a hole right through it. 

During the meal, Bryan noticed Elizabeth had barely touched her food. Worried that she might not be feeling well, he asked, “Why are you eating so little today? Is your stomach acting up again?” 

Elizabeth often skipped meals or ate irregularly, so Bryan had developed the habit of nagging her. 

“The dishes today are light and easy on the stomach. These are your favorites…” 

“Can you stop being so annoying?” Elizabeth pushed his hand away. “I just don’t feel like eating. Do I need your permission to make my own decisions?”

No one at the table intervened; they all focused on their own meals. It wasn’t that they didn’t care–they were simply used to it by now. Bryan seemed to enjoy being bossed around.

After the dinner, Miranda finally said goodbye to Paul’s lab. 

A few leisurely days passed. One quiet weekend afternoon, she suddenly received a phone call from Lionel. 

“Sweetheart, I’ve got good news! Want to hear it?” 

“Of course!” Miranda had a rough idea of what it might be but decided to play along. “Come on, Dad, don’t keep me in suspense!” 

“Haha… hear this, the Earnest High Staff Quarters is getting demolished! And they’re compensating us based on commercial land rates. Your mom and I did the math–it’s going to be over a million!” 

“That much, huh?” Miranda tried to sound as surprised as possible. “Good thing we didn’t sell the old house when we bought the new one.

Karen Larden? 

Of course Miranda remembered. Karen had ruined the wisteria in the yard, which finally pushed her to convince her parents to move. 

“What about her?”
