Joseph touched his cheek, then hastily pulled out his phone and checked the screen. A blazing red lip print was stamped on his face.At once, he remembered Mason Alvarez’s domineering little kiss a moment ago.He flushed. That Ms. Alvarez—completely out of her mind."Mason’s a kid who loves pranks. Don’t hold it against her."Madeline Castillo chuckled."It’s fine—at home it’s fine. You young people like to play around. We get it."Stanley Alvarez said with a grin."This Ms. Alvarez… really…""I’ll go take care of it."Joseph’s face grew even redder with embarrassment.With that, he headed out."Say what you will, but those two aren’t faking anything."Stanley said to Madeline."The relationship’s clearly good. We just need to give it a little push."Madeline said with a smile."Exactly, exactly."Stanley nodded quickly.Soon Joseph returned.After that, he took over the kitchen. Stanley and Madeline tried to help a few times, but Joseph insisted, and they let him have at it.To be ho

Mason Alvarez looked at Joseph with a flicker of apprehension, her body instinctively shrinking back. A faint blush climbed her cheeks, making her look adorably flustered.To be honest, if a man as strong and forceful as Joseph really tried something, she wouldn’t have stood a chance."Ms. Alvarez, what are you imagining? The tissues are for later—proper use, I swear. Nothing shady."Joseph explained."Oh. Right!"Mason nodded stiffly, her cheeks reddening further. Why had her mind gone there? She felt a little annoyed with herself.Then Joseph began telling her the story of Toby Dristan and his first love.At first, Mason wasn’t particularly moved. But as he went on, she became completely absorbed. Her eyes grew pink, and when Joseph reached the part about the girl’s death, she burst into tears. They streamed down her face."God, that’s heartbreaking. Why do the best lovers never get to stay together?""Mr. Dristan is such a decent man. Pauline Alvarez doesn’t deserve him.""No, I ha

“Mm, she went somewhere very, very far away.”Toby Dristan took another drag on his cigarette.“We’re from the same village. Her name was Marion.”“Marion and I grew up together, went to school together, got into university together, and in the end we even interned at the same hospital.”“Fifteen years ago, not long after we started our internships, a massive earthquake struck. Our hospital was ordered to the disaster zone. She went in with the first wave; I was in the second.”“She was gentle, kind, thoughtful—the best girl in the world. I promised her a grand and perfect wedding. Back then, we agreed: we’d get married as soon as we returned from the disaster area.”“Once we entered the zone, we stayed in touch. We poured our hearts out, encouraged each other, supported each other, hoping to bring hope to the people there. But at some point, I lost contact with her.”“I went crazy looking for her for days. In the end, I pulled her body from the ruins. She was unrecognizable. When she

“We heard it too. Mason’s second aunt’s family really isn’t very decent,” Madeline Castillo commented. “That Mr. Dristan, though—he seems solid. A sincere man.”“Poor kid, stuck with that lot. He looks like a straight arrow—won’t Pauline’s family grind him to a pulp?” Stanley Alvarez shook his head. “That girl takes after her mother. Not the kind an ordinary man can handle.”“Dad, Mom, it’s their business. Why get so wrapped up in it?” Mason said. “Still, for Toby Dristan to put up with them—that’s something.”“Alright, enough about them. Joseph—future son-in-law—come on, let’s go inside for tea. This batch isn’t like the stuff we just drank—it’s the good stuff I’ve been saving,” Stanley said with a grin.“Thank you, Uncle,” Joseph replied, smiling.They headed for the main room.“I heard from Ms. Alvarez that you both love good food?” Joseph said with a smile after sitting.“Haha, not to brag, but your future mother-in-law and I can really cook,” Stanley chuckled. “And who doesn’t lo

Right now, Pauline Alvarez’s face looked downright ugly.“Is he really that impressive?” Judith Robinson sounded a bit embarrassed.“Mr. Wilson is more than impressive. When their university ran free clinics recently, I watched whenever I had time,” Toby Dristan said. “I’m trained in Western medicine, but many of Mr. Wilson’s fresh ideas honestly opened my eyes. What a coincidence—never thought I’d meet him here.”Beaming, Toby stepped forward and clasped Joseph’s hand again, brimming with excitement.“Mr. Dristan, you flatter me,” Joseph said with a mild smile.“Not at all. Any competent physician would admire you,” Toby replied. “Our deputy dean even encourages us to watch your livestreams whenever we can and learn from you! Oh—Mr. Wilson, could we exchange contacts? There are so many medical questions I’d love to consult you on.”He pulled out his phone as he spoke.“Uh—sure, that’s fine,” Joseph said after a brief pause, agreeing.Seeing this, Judith and Pauline looked even sourer

“Second Aunt, what brings you here?” Mason Alvarez walked in, glanced at Judith Robinson, and spoke with cool politeness.“Listen to you—what, your second aunt can’t come sit a while in your house?” Judith smiled with feigned reproach.“That’s not what I meant. I meant Pauline brought home such an outstanding boyfriend—you should be busy hosting your future son-in-law. Yet you still had time to drop by my place. Must’ve been tough,” Mason explained.“Well, we’ll all be family soon enough, won’t we? Thought we’d get acquainted early.” Judith smiled brightly. “Mason, aren’t you going to introduce your boyfriend to your second aunt?”“Joseph. My boyfriend,” Mason said simply.“Hello, Second Aunt,” Joseph greeted with a smile. His gaze then fell on Toby Dristan. “And hello to you as well.”“Hi, I’m Toby Dristan. You look familiar—like I’ve seen you somewhere—but I can’t place it,” Toby said quickly, stepping up to shake Joseph’s hand with enthusiasm.“Hahaha, I nearly forgot to introduce
