When fate plays its hand

Chapter 0763

Did Hansel really think of himself as a hopeless romantic? It served him right to lose her! What was he doing all this time?

Calvin sighed and said, “I wonder when Hans will finally move on. Miranda has already moved on by herself.”

Zach snorted, “Him? Just wait. He’ll be stuck on her for the rest of his life as long as

Miranda doesn’t look back.”

Calvin asked, “What kind of logic is that?”

“Haven’t you heard of that song lyric? No one forgets the one that got away. That’s just how people are. It’s human nature to want what you can’t have. Anyway, you guys have fun. I’m out of here,” Zach said.

“No, wait… You just got here, and now you’re leaving?”

Zach chuckled. “Winter suddenly got off work early, so I’m going to pick her up.”

Calvin’s gaze turned suspicious. “Are you seriously telling me you’re not really in love with her?”

Zach defended himself, “What do you know? I’m just being committed to my role. It’s perfectly normal for a boyfriend to pick his girlfriend up after work. If I can’t even do that, how can I convince my family we’re seriously dating with marriage in mind?

“Oh, I’m going to be late. I’m off, don’t bother seeing me out!”

With that, he strode away.

Calvin had a confused look on his handsome face. Why was everyone acting possessed lately?

Something was definitely off… Way off!

The winter rain was piercing like needles hidden in soft fabric, accompanied by a bitter

chill of the cold winds.

By 8.00 pm, the streets were already empty.

After leaving the nightclub, Hansel drove straight to Miranda’s place. His mind was crazed with jealousy and resentment as he drove. He even thought of the words he planned to question her with…

Didn’t she say that she wasn’t close to Sam? Didn’t she claim that there was no chance of anything happening between them?

But why was she meeting his family? Were the two of them together now?

What was so good about Sam anyway?

Why him?

However, Hansel didn’t have the courage to go upstairs when he actually arrived at her home. All he could do was sit in the car. He stared at the rain hitting his windshield, sliding down in scattered streams, leaving a pattern of water trails on the glass.

Hansel curled his lips into a mocking smile. He was mocking himself for being so foolish and childish. He didn’t know how long he sat there, but a familiar vehicle entered his view just as he was about to turn the car around and leave.

At that point, the rain had stopped.

Sam got out of the car and walked to the passenger side, opening the door. Soon, Miranda stepped out.

The two seemed to be talking. Sam had a smile on his lips while Miranda nodded from time to time, responding to him.

As they spoke, Sam opened the trunk and took out several large bags. It looked as though they had just visited his family and were bringing back gifts from them.

Sam said, “Grandma specifically reminded me to bring these things for you. There’s gourmet honey, foie gras, and truffles… This bag is some tea from Grandpa. Several of these varieties are his treasures.

“Oh, I also noticed you liked the end table in the bedroom. I had someone make a smaller version that will fit in your current place. It should be delivered after the New Year. Then, there’s this and that…”

Miranda looked overwhelmed as he listed everything. “This is way too much…”

“I’ve already pared down the gifts. There was even more before this.”

Miranda was speechless at the revelation.

Meanwhile, Aren and Fiona wished that Miranda could stay overnight. Their house had plenty of rooms. They would have been happy if she stayed forever, let alone one night. They were more than willing to oblige!

Unfortunately, Miranda had to go to the lab the next day, so they had Sam drive her home.

Fiona held Miranda’s hand tightly when they were leaving, reluctant to let go. She repeatedly urged her to visit often.

Not only that, they also gave her several large bags filled with everything from daily necessities, clothes, jewelry, as well as food and drink. It was a massive haul.

Back then, Lionel would also pack her suitcase full of food. She thought she would only have to endure this “burden of love” twice a year whenever she went home. Apparently,

she was wrong.

Looking at what her grandparents had prepared for her, Miranda realized her father had really been holding back. She accepted all their gifts as she didn’t want to reject their kindness.

However, carrying everything upstairs became a huge problem.

Sam clearly understood this and said, “Come on, I’ll help you carry it up.”

With that, he took the lead and walked ahead.

Miranda quickly followed after him, looking grateful. “Let me take a few bags too…”

This entire scene unfolded before Hansel’s eyes.
