Paul said, “You told me to light the candle, so I did…”

Miranda raised an eyebrow at his words. She was no longer in a hurry to leave. “And then?”

Paul remained silent.

“Turns out there was a surprise, right?” Miranda sighed with a smile on her face. She acted as if it didn’t bother her at all.

“When the wax melted, there were words inside.”

Miranda asked curiously, “What did it say? I love you? I like you? Love you forever?”

It was a confession, after all. Those were the go–to phrases if one wanted something short and to the point.

Paul’s silence confirmed her guess.

Miranda couldn’t help but give him a once–over. Her gaze was meaningful as she scanned him from head to toe and back again.

Paul gave her a wry smile. “Mimi, don’t scrutinize me like that.”

“What’s wrong? Can’t I admire how attractive you were in your youth?”

In those photos, he looked every inch the perfect gentleman, exuding a distinguished and refined air. He was the very picture of a dashing young man with great potential.

No wonder he attracted the attention of so many young women….

Paul couldn’t help but frown when he met her amused gaze “Are you not angry?”

She was taken aback. “Angry?”

“Yes. That night, Dr. Young said you asked about Emilia.”

“And then?”
