When fate plays its hand (Miranda)

Chapter 0458

Although Mindy had warned her in advance, Miranda was still utterly shocked by the scene before her when she stepped through the door.

She even stepped back outside to double–check, making sure it was indeed her own home. The light gray floor was dirty with shoe prints and trash. People were chatting and snacking, littering the floor with peanut shells, fruit peels, and wrappers, which they threw directly on the floor.

The walls that were once clean now bore two dirty footprints, probably left behind by a mischievous kid. The hum of loud conversations made the villa feel like a hive of bees.

Miranda turned to Mindy with a questioning look. Her mom gave her a helpless smile, implying that things were just how it seemed.

Miranda thought, “Is it possible to unsee it?”

Of course not, because a relative had already noticed her presence and immediately approached them with a wide smile. “Oh my, are you Lionel’s daughter? You’re all grown up and so beautiful? I heard you’re a master student at Bedford College? How capable!”

It’s really Miranda! You’ve grown so tall. Are you married yet? Why are you still studying? You’ve been in school for ages. If you’re not careful, you might end up an old maid in the future!”
