“Coming, coming—what’s the rush?” Madeline called, hurrying over to help.Stanley followed right behind.After a flurry of trips back and forth, they finally managed to cram all the things Neil and Madeline had prepared into the car. When everything was done, Joseph washed his hands and stepped out.“Uncle, Auntie—big brother, sis-in-law. It’s nearly four. We should get going,” he said.“Alright. In that case, we won’t keep you,” Madeline replied, reluctant to see them go.“Joseph, drive slow, you hear? No need to rush—you’ve got time,” Stanley added.“Brother-in-law, Mason, we’ll come to Nova City in a while,” Neil said, clapping Joseph on the shoulder. “We’ll look you up, take you out to eat. And of course, we’ll treat Mr. Dristan too.”“Sounds good,” Joseph said.After a few more pleasantries, he climbed into the car and pulled away.“We’re on vacation anyway—why couldn’t they stay a few more days?” Madeline murmured, watching the car shrink into the distance.“Don’t assume. They m

“Alright, watch closely,” Joseph said, resigned.“Just now you were all drowsy, mumbling in that hazy little voice, saying the strangest things.‘You brute, you’re too strong. I can’t take it—naughty!’‘Bad. You’re so bad. But… I like you that way!’”He mimicked Mason’s tone and repeated her exact words.Mason’s cheeks flared crimson, mortification sweeping over her. “Drop dead! You’re lying. As if I’d say something like that in my sleep!”She swatted his shoulder, bristling. If he was telling the truth, how humiliating would that be?“You did say it—word for word,” Joseph replied, entirely certain.“Impossible. You’re making it up,” she insisted, stubborn to the core.“When people talk in their sleep, it’s usually because the brain’s in a heightened state—dreaming, in other words. Think about it: were you dreaming just now? If you can recall the dream, you’ll know whether I’m lying.”Mason pressed her fingers to her temple, trying to piece it together. The more she thought, the worse

Before long, Mason Alvarez had all but dragged Joseph into the villa.Once inside, she shut the door behind them with a decisive click.“Professor Alvarez, could you not be so impatient?”“We messed around half the night. You’re not planning to take a break? Are you trying to kill yourself?”Joseph sounded exasperated.“What’s running through that head of yours?”“I just want you to see whether my figure has improved.”Mason shot him a glare.“Just look?”“Of course. What else did you think I meant?”As she spoke, she shrugged off the outer shirt she’d been wearing. Underneath was a fitted T-shirt that clung to her like a second skin. With the overshirt gone, the lines of her body were on full display—the tee was so tight it carved out every curve.Just a glance was enough to set the blood racing.“Well? Doesn’t it look better than before? Aren’t the proportions nicer?”She turned a slow circle in front of him, as if preening.“You hauled me in here just to look at this? Don’t you hav

“Heehee, I’m coming back tomorrow. I’ll see you then.”“It’s been ages since I last saw you. I miss you so much I think about you every night… boohoo…”Alice sounded giddy with excitement.“Tomorrow? I thought you were staying a few more days.”Joseph asked.“I’m coming back on my own. Grandpa, Dad, Aunt Xue-Mei, and Leah are all still here.”“My dad—says it’s a vacation, but really he’s out doing business. I’m so done with him.”She launched into a quick rant.“How about I come pick you up?”Joseph offered.“No need, no need. The driver from the Ravenford City branch will take me home.”She replied.“Those drivers—are they safe?”“You silly Joseph, relax. We always travel with bodyguards and staff. It’s perfectly safe. Don’t worry.”“That’s a relief.”He nodded.“Joseph, I really, really miss you.”“Feels like every day apart is like three long autumns.”Her voice softened, with a hint of plaintive sweetness.Hearing her, Joseph felt his heart melt.“I miss you too.”He smiled. He wa
