Miranda nodded obediently, “Yes, Dr. Jefferson and I were planning to make it public tonight, but who knew…” 

She sneaked a glance at Lionel. It was just her luck to get caught red–handed! 

Mindy straightened up and asked, “Then why didn’t you say anything yesterday?” 

Miranda answered honestly, “You two showed up so suddenly that we didn’t have the time to discuss it… Later, we talked about it and thought that we’d surprise Dad…” 

“A surprise?” Lionel retorted. “That wasn’t a surprise… It was a terrible shock!” 

Miranda fell silent. 

Mindy, on the other hand, remained calm throughout. “When did you two get together?” 

“Almost three months ago.” 

“Who confessed first?” 

“Of course, it was him.” 

Mindy nodded in satisfaction. 

Lionel was puzzled. “Honey, why are you nodding? She and Paul… They’re together!” 

Mindy turned to him and replied nonchalantly, “So? They are two consenting adults. Is there a problem?” 

Lionel said without hesitation, “Of course there is! I treated him like a brother—” 

“Did you ever ask Paul’s opinion on that?” Mindy cut him off. “Did he want to be your brother? If I’m not mistaken, hasn’t he always called you ‘Mr. Sutton?“” 

While Lionel was at a loss for words, Mindy pulled Miranda to the side and sat her down. She said gently, “Come, Mimi. Let’s have a heart–to–heart talk.” 

She turned back to Lionel. “Wasn’t there stew simmering on the stove? Aren’t you going to check on it?” 

“Oh no, I almost forgot!” With that, he spun around and dashed into the kitchen. 

Halfway there, he suddenly remembered who he had made the stew for. His frustration and annoyance boiled over. All that effort he did all day for nothing! 

What a waste… 

In the living room, Mindy consoled Miranda in a gentle tone, “Don’t blame your dad for how he reacted. He never expected this to happen, and the way he found out was… a little too harsh. Naturally, he got upset.” 

Miranda said, “It’s my fault. I messed things up.” She knew that if she had told them about her relationship with Paul sincerely, Lionel might have been surprised, but he wouldn’t have been this furious. 

Mindy cleared her throat. “You’re no longer the impulsive young lady who wanted to give up on your master’s program for love. I’ve seen how much you’ve grown and matured over the years, so…” 

She paused for a moment before continuing, “I’m not as worried as your dad. I trust your judgment to tell right from wrong. You already know what you truly want. I won’t oppose you being with Paul. Putting everything else aside, he’s indeed an excellent man.
