“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

“Not all money should be taken. This isn’t about being stubborn; it’s about whether you can walk away unscathed after you take it.”“My dad’s managed to keep his seat as village head of Crestline Village all these years because he’s always stuck to fairness. He takes what’s rightfully his—that alone is already plenty.”“And you’re not wrong—that’s a cushy post. Plenty of people have their eyes on it. The reason no one’s ever managed to push my dad out is because he doesn’t grab like the others do.”Toby Dristan tried to explain patiently.“Enough. I don’t want to hear your moral lectures! Are you seriously trying to reason with a woman? Are you brainless?”Pauline Alvarez snapped, viciously.Toby fell silent at that, stifled and a little wronged.“Pauline, watch your mouth,” Judith Robinson cut in quickly, seeing the way things were headed.“It’s because men are useless, that’s what,” Pauline grumbled, cursing under her breath.Toby lowered his head and said nothing. Of course he was

"Are you slow or what? Do you really think our daughter’s the one unwilling to take that step? It’s that Wilson guy—he’s the one holding back!" "That Joseph Wilson is honest to a fault. You can tell he's conservative and certainly not someone with a dominant personality," Madeline Castillo said, full of conviction. "Our daughter’s still a girl—she can’t be too forward. With both of them hesitating like this, things have dragged on to where they are now." "Don’t forget, every time we called before, it was always Joseph driving her home and then leaving right after." "Both of them are being reserved. He’s too proper, and she’s holding back." "Hmm... the more I think about it, the more that makes sense," Stanley Alvarez said, furrowing his brow. "Of course it makes sense. She’s my own flesh and blood—of course I understand her better than anyone," Madeline said with a hint of pride. "So... are we really letting them share a room tonight?" Stanley asked. "What else? Didn’t

"Isn't that the truth? Remarkable—truly remarkable!" "Your master must have been an extraordinary person, raising you so well. That couldn't have been easy," Madeline Castillo said to Joseph, her admiration deepening. As a parent herself, she understood how much effort it took to raise a child. She had always been proud of raising Mason Alvarez and her brother into the people they were. But now, meeting Joseph for the first time, she felt a different kind of respect. "Uncle, Auntie, you're too kind," Joseph said modestly. "From now on, you're not alone anymore. This is your home, and we're your family," Stanley Alvarez said sincerely. "That's right. We're your family now. Mason is your family, too," Madeline added warmly. "Thank you, Uncle, Auntie," Joseph replied, warmth rising in his chest. To be honest, he had rarely felt anything resembling a true home. He had always regarded Alice as his family, and from her, he’d felt a kind of warmth he’d never known before. But t

Stanley Alvarez finally snapped out of it after Madeline Castillo’s reminder and quickly poured a cup of tea for Joseph.“Here, here—have a seat and enjoy some tea, future son-in-law,” he said warmly.In just a short span of time, Joseph’s title had shifted from “Mr. Wilson” to “Joseph,” and now to “future son-in-law.” The progression was impressively swift.“Thank you, Uncle,” Joseph said as he accepted the tea.“Seriously, Mom, Dad, you don’t need to be so formal with Mr. Wilson,” Mason Alvarez sighed as she watched her parents bustling around.“What do you mean, formal? You two work so hard outside. Now that you’re home, as your elders, it’s only right that we take care of you,” Madeline replied matter-of-factly. “Future son-in-law, take a seat and relax. Mason, keep him company. I’ll head to the kitchen and get lunch ready—it won’t take long.”With that, she disappeared into the kitchen.“I’ll help out too. You two must be starving. Lunch will be ready in no time,” Stanley added a

The luxury car slowly pulled up and came to a stop on the side of the road.Stanley Alvarez and Madeline Castillo took a closer look—and instantly, their faces lit up with joy.“It’s our daughter! It’s our daughter!”Overcome with excitement, they rushed forward to greet her.“Dad, Mom! Don’t tell me you’ve been standing out here waiting for us?” Mason Alvarez stepped out of the car with a helpless smile.“Hello, Uncle. Hello, Auntie,” Joseph greeted politely as he got out as well.“Good, good, very good! What a fine young man!” Stanley Alvarez beamed, stepping forward to shake Joseph’s hand enthusiastically.“What do you mean, young man? He’s Mr. Wilson, isn’t he?” Madeline Castillo scolded her husband lightly before quickly turning toward Joseph with a bright smile. “So you’re Mr. Wilson, Mason’s boyfriend? I’m Mason’s mother, Madeline Castillo. Welcome to our home!”“Thank you, Auntie. I’m Joseph, Ms. Alvarez’s boyfriend,” Joseph replied, glancing at Mason with a slightly awkward e
