How come the web’t bare the Fire”

As soon at Evelyn asked that question, a deathly silence fell over the room.

Hansel said nothing, his face expressionless Those in the know, like Calvin and Zach, didn’t dare to utter a word either.

Finally. Sam was the one who quietly broke the silence. “They broke up. Didn’t you

know?”

Evelyn frowned. “Why is she still throwing a tantrum? How many days has it been? Her temper sure has gotten a lot worse!”

When Hansel heard that, his face darkened.

“Um, Evelyn, I’m afraid that this time, it’s not that easy…” Sam gave Evelyn a glance.

“What does that mean? Is Miranda acting high and mighty?”Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

“Mom,” Hansel interrupted coldly. His expression was just as frigid. “This time, we’re really over. I was the one who wanted to break up.”

“What?” Evelyn was stunned.

Tina was also surprised. Looking back, Miranda had indeed been fighting with Hansel for some time….

Evelyn exited the hospital room. She didn’t even wait until she was out of the hospital to call Miranda.

When the call connected, she laughed coldly before the latter could say anything.” Miranda, who do you think you are? You’d already used up all your luck when my son fell for you in the first place!

“After he spent so much money on you over the years, is this how you repay him? You don’t have a conscience. Even a stray dog would understand gratitude better than you!

Gritting her teeth, she continued, “Hans is sick now. When are you getting over here?”

On the other end, Miranda listened quietly without managing to get a single word in. Finally, she replied in a calm tone, “I’m sorry, but your son has nothing to do with me

now.”

After hanging up, she blocked Evelyn’s number. Then, she opened WhatsApp and blocked Evelyn on the app too.

Afterward, she let out a heavy breath. She’d never felt so carefree and at ease before.

Meanwhile, Evelyn couldn’t believe that Miranda had just hung up on her. She tried to call back, but when she heard the dial tone, she stomped her feet in anger.

“Fine, Miranda! You think you’re all that, huh?

When Solomon saw a subtle smile on Miranda’s lips, he asked, “Did something happen?”

Miranda shook her head. She’d just resolved some troublesome matters, that was all.

After another day of studying, the sky had already darkened. The two of them left the library.

The night breeze was rather chilly. A dim yellow light illuminated the pedestrian’s path, and leaves rustled in the wind.

Solomon gazed at the side of Miranda’s face. Her flawless skin looked a little cold.

He mustered up the courage. “Yesterday, you said you had to take a raincheck for dinner. Well, since we’re here, what about today? Of course, if you have other plans, then don’t worry about it.”

Miranda thought about it. Solomon had helped her a lot during this time. She should’ve treated him to a meal long ago.

“Sure. I have some ingredients at home. If you don’t mind, would you like to try my cooking?”

Solomon was pleasantly surprised. “Oh, y–your home?”

Miranda nodded. “It’s just a ten–minute walk from here, so it’s pretty close. However, if you think it’s better to eat out, we can also do that. You can choose what you want to

eat.”

When Solomon realized that she hadn’t meant anything by that, he let out a sigh of disappointment. “It’s fine. A home–cooked meal is great–it’s clean and hygienic. Well, I can’t wait.”
