GoodReadChapter 0230 Chapter 0230 Sandy was tongue-tied, and she couldn't speak for a long moment. Everyone else looked equally stunned. "D-Dr. Jefferson..." Bryan's eyes darted between Paul and Miranda as if he had stumbled upon a huge secret.
Elizabeth's mouth tightened, and her gaze grew cold.
"What's going on, Paul?" Silas asked after snapping out of his shock.
"Helping out," Paul replied. “"Can't you see?" "You're even helping at Miranda's place now? Impressive..." Silas teased.
"I'm just being a good neighbor, especially after hearing that you're coming over to mooch off a meal," Paul said casually.

Miranda explained, "Dr. Jefferson lives right next door; our apartments are directly adjacent to one another. right 1201 "I ran into Dr. Jefferson on my way out of the lab this afternoon when I was heading to buy groceries. He offereda ride to the supermarket." "Oh, so that's how it is." Sandy let out a sigh of relief.
For a second, she almost thought there was something going on between them! It nearly gave her a heart attack! Bryan patted his chest, relieved that they had avoided a misunderstanding. That was a close call.
Elizabeth's previously dark expression instantly lightened. "Are we ready to eat?" "Yes, please," Sandy nodded vigorously.
Miranda smiled. “Everyone, please sit down and start eating. There are two more dishes that are almost done!" The meal turned out to be a joyous affair. Sandy couldn't stop praising Miranda's cooking, and Bryan kept his head down while devouring his food.
Even Elizabeth, who was always watching her weight, ended up eating more than twice her normal portion. She didn't plan on it, but two of the dishes were just too good to resist.
She could only pin the blon Miranda.
After they finished eating and cleaned up, Miranda walked them downstairs.
To be precise, Miranda and Paul walked everyone downstairs together. Even though it was now known that they were neighbors living in the sbuilding, seeing them walk side by side like that really made them look like a couple seeing off guests.
Sandy noticed this, and her expression turned slightly odd.
Meanwhile, Bryan was too busy sticking close to Elizabeth to pay much attention to them. "Lizzy, it's dark out; it's not safe for you to go alone. How about I walk you home?" "No need, I drove." "...Oh, alright then, be careful on your way home." In her car, Elizabeth didn't start the engine right away. Instead, she pulled up a number and dialed someone.
"Are you still working as a real estate agent?" "Of course! What else would I be doing? What's up, Lizzy? Why the sudden interest? Do you need something?" Elizabeth bit her lip. "I want to rent an apartment near Bedford College, preferably in a walk-up building with no elevator that's just a few minutes' walk to the library.
A walk-up? No elevator? The person on the other end sounded puzzled.

"To meet all those criteria, the only option would be the old apartment near the south gate of Bedford College." Elizabeth's eyes lit up. "That works!"
"But just to let you know, those alleyway buildings have a poor m environment, no community management, and the only benefit is the convenient location..." "That's fine, just finda place. I'll pay whatever it costs." The person was at a loss for words.
Miranda wasn't the only one who could live next to Paul There Was e more than one way to be close to the source.
After seeing everyone off, Miranda and Paul walked back together.
Suddenly, someone called her name. "Mimi." She instinctively turned and saw Sam on the other side of the street, waving at her with a smile.
