Chapter 1030

After breakfast, Miranda left for work, while Paul stayed home instead of going to the lab.

“Mimi…” he called after her.

Miranda was already at the stairway. She turned back at the sound of his voice. “Yes?”

Paul walked up to her and leaned down, planting a kiss on her forehead. “Come home early,”

He actually said to come home….

At that moment, the word “home” took on a tangible meaning. Home was someone waiting for her behind a door at the end of the day.

“Okay,” she replied.

Paul was about to pull away when Miranda suddenly hooked her arm around his neck, giving him a quick kiss. Her lips curved into a smile.

“It’s only polite to return the gesture,” she said before turning to leave.

Paul stood rooted to the spot, watching her walk away. He was unable to stop a smile from spreading across his face.
