When fate plays its hand (Miranda)

Chapter 0344

It was no wonder Miranda was so surprised.

First, Paul was usually buried in work at the lab during this time of day, so seeing him anywhere else was unexpected. Second, he and Lionel were sitting there playing chess, with an open Calendar Notebook beside them.

It was as if they were long–lost friends catching up. They seemed to be having a great time, completely immersed in conversation.

“Mimi, you’re back!” Lionel called out the moment he heard the door. Paul’s gaze followed, and he locked eyes with Miranda.

Meeting her surprised look, he smiled and said, “Surprised to see me?”

“Dr. Jefferson, what are you doing here?” Miranda asked as she slipped into her house shoes and walked

further in.

Before Paul could respond, Lionel quickly explained, “Your mom and I ran into Paul on the stairs this morning, so I invited him over for a visit…”

And that visit turned into quite the event. Lionel soon realized that no matter what topic he brought up, Paul had something to say. Even when it came to gardening and plants, Paul had knowledge to share!
