When fate plays its hand (Miranda)

Chapter 0523

Miranda was slightly taken aback. “You’re giving me your jacket, but what about you..

I’m not cold,” Paul responded calmly,

“Thank you.”

As they reached the corner of the street, Paul asked her to wait a moment. He stepped into a nearby convenience store and returned in less than a minute, holding two cups.

“Here,” he said, handing one to her.

Miranda curiously sniffed the cup. “What is this?”

“Earl Grey tea.”

Her eyebrows raised. “This convenience store sells hot Earl Grey tea?” She couldn’t remember seeing it before.

Paul smiled. “Seasonal specialty. It just came out recently.”

And what’s in your cup?”

“Mine’s black tea.”

Holding the warm cup, with his jacket still draped over her shoulders, Miranda felt her whole body warm up. A rosy glow appeared on her cheeks.

Once they reached her apartment, she handed the jacket back to him. “Thank you, Dr. Jefferson. Goodnight.”

Paul’s lips curved slightly, and he replied, “Goodnight.”

They both then went to their respective apartments.
