When Fate Plays Its Hand (Miranda and Hansel) novel Chapter 611

Chapter 0611 

Jack was at a loss for words 

“Mr. Cooper, you can let go of me now,” Miranda said. 

Sam smirked, as if he had only just realized he was hugging her. Instead of releasing Miranda, his hand settled from a light touch to being firmly placed on her shoulder. 

Her figure was slender and delicate. At first contact, Sam could feel her bones even through her winter jacket. The faint fragrance from her body drifted into his nose, making his body stiffen at that moment. 

The next second, Miranda whipped around and slipped away from his grasp. However, Sam reacted swiftly. Seeing that she escaped from his grip, Sam extended his arm and tried to pull her back. 

She ran away, while Sam followed. She dodged, yet Sam pursued her. 

Miranda grew frustrated. “Sam Cooper! I’ve had enough of this!” 

The hint of a smile twinkled in his eyes. “Nice, you’ve finally stopped calling me Mr. Cooper.” 

She was speechless at his audacity. 

Just as the two of them were squabbling. Paul was standing under a streetlamp nearby with a bag in hi 

hand. 

Due to the lighting, half of his face was shrouded in the shadows. At that moment, his expression was 

hard to read. 

Miranda’s sharp eyes spotted Paul first. “Dr. Jefferson?” 

Paul, who was standing still earlier, walked toward her slowly. His gaze landed subtly on the men’s scarf around her neck. Jack was still wearing his own, so it wasn’t his. 

Then, Paul looked at Sam. He was wearing a coat over a suit, but there was no scarf. 

Jack greeted Paul with a smile, “Dr. Jefferson, what a coincidence to run into you here!” 

“It isn’t a coincidence. I came here on purpose.” 

“Huh?” 

Pulling out the scarf from the bag, he walked up to Miranda and removed the men’s scarf from her neck. After handing it to Sam, he carefully wrapped Miranda up in her own scarf. 

Paul explained, “I ran into your two friends at the entrance of Dunham College earlier. They were about to deliver you your scarf. Since I was headed this way, I offered to bring it for you so they wouldn’t have to delay their supper.” 

“Thank you, Dr. Jefferson! Sorry for making you come all the way here.” Miranda tucked her chin into her scarf, feeling warm instantly. Her own scarf was the coziest. 

“You’re welcome. It’s no trouble at all.” 

Sam held on to the returned scarf for a moment before revealing a slight smile. He slowly wrapped it back around his neck and remarked casually, “Dr. Jefferson, was there any necessity for you to go out of

your way for the sake of such a trivial matter as delivering a scarf?” 

“I told you I was heading this way,” Paul repeated. 

He then turned to Miranda and said, “I’m going home. Shall we walk together?” 

“Sure! Jack, I’ll be heading off now!” Miranda said. 

“Oh, alright. Take care on the way,” Jack replied. 

Miranda and Paul left together. 

“Dr. Jefferson, what brought you to Dunham College?” 

“I need to meet Dr. Fischer for some matters.” 

“This late at night?”
