When fate plays its hand (Miranda)

Chapter 0015

After that, Hansel got into his car and sped off.

Pissed, Winter stomped her feet. She burst out in anger, scolding, “Look at him! What a jerk! Scumbag! A piece of trash! How frustrating!”

She grabbed Marshall’s collar. “I’m telling you, Mimi will never, ever return to him this time. Never!”

Marshall frantically comforted her. “Yes, of course. You should calm down…”

But was that possible? Hansel had looked so confident and determined. He must have a reason to back his judgment.

Marshall sneaked a glance at Winter. If only she could be as loyal to men as she was to her best friend…

He stopped himself from thinking any further. That idea was simply too

farfetched to come true.

Hansel received a call while driving. Since he was in a foul mood, he spoke coldly. “What is it?”

“Dear, I recently found a hidden gem. They have really succulent crabs. It’s Saturday tomorrow; let’s try it out tomorrow, shall we?” Ingrid’s crisp, cheerful voice came through the phone.

She knew Hansel loved seafood, so she catered to his tastes.

Besides, they hadn’t contacted each other since last night, and that made her anxious. Because of that, she’d stopped being reserved and called him first.

Most of the time, Hansel had been the one planning their dates. She’d only needed to bashfully decline a few times before eventually agreeing to his plans in a reserved manner.

But things had been different recently. Hansel hadn’t contacted her as frequently, and his texts had been short and simple. Sometimes, he wouldn’t even reply to her.
