“Old… old man? Why are you back so soon?” Judith Robinson stared at the man at the door, momentarily at a loss. Wasn’t this her husband, Theodore Alvarez? Only, Theodore’s face was anything but pleasant.“D-dad…” Pauline Alvarez called out, a little afraid.“What’s the rush—off somewhere?” Theodore brushed past them, face like ice, and poured himself a glass of water.“Nowhere. We just heard a car and knew you were back,” Judith said with a forced smile.“Where’s the son-in-law?” Theodore asked.“Son-in-law? Well… um…” Judith stammered and tugged at Pauline’s sleeve.“Where’s your boyfriend? Didn’t you tell me you brought him home? Didn’t you say he had great prospects? I rushed back from Ravenford City. Where is he?” Theodore turned to Pauline. Under his gaze, she panicked and lost her words.“It’s like this—he had an urgent matter and went back to Nova City,” Judith jumped in with a quick excuse.“Right. That’s it—urgent business, back to Nova City,” Pauline added, grasping at the l

Facing everyone’s expectant gazes, Joseph didn’t speak right away. He pondered for a moment, rubbing his fingertips lightly as if weighing something.“It’s confirmed—she’s pregnant.”“Congratulations, Big Brother and Sister-in-law. Today is a day of double blessings,” Joseph said with layered meaning.“Hahaha, it is indeed a double blessing—Archie’s out of the hospital, and my wife is expecting. Double blessings!” Neil Alvarez burst into hearty laughter.Joseph opened his mouth as if to add something, but in the end chose not to.“Truly, double blessings—what a rare day!”“If not for Mason’s future husband, where would these blessings have come from? We owe the young man our thanks.”“That’s right—remarkable, truly.”The room buzzed with warm chatter.Neil Alvarez and Margaret exchanged a look, joy shining plainly in both their eyes.“Mr. Wilson, you must take this money,” Neil urged again.“Big Brother, really—no need.”“How about this: if you feel you must thank me, send me some fre

“My name is Joseph. I’m Mason’s boyfriend. Hello—nice to meet you.”Joseph introduced himself.“Tharion, this is the man who saved our family,” Vincent Alvarez reminded him.“In our community, we have a custom: if someone saves a child’s life, the child recognizes that person as their godfather.”“Archie, come here! Why aren’t you kneeling to call him godfather?” Neil Alvarez dragged Archie over.Before Joseph could react, Archie dropped to his knees with a thud and knocked his forehead to the floor three times.“Godfather!”Archie called out obediently.Joseph was so startled by the scene that he immediately took two steps back.“Happy now? You’ve got yourself a son!” Mason Alvarez was laughing so hard she could barely breathe. With her professional training, she usually never laughed—unless she absolutely couldn’t help it.“No—that’s not… that doesn’t seem right.” Joseph was a bit dazed.The whole thing made Madeline Castillo burst out laughing in exasperation.“Neil Alvarez, you bi

“I don’t want to. I can’t take it. If you mess around again, I won’t be able to get out of bed.”“Besides, it’s early morning. Can you not?” Mason said as she scooted away from Joseph, wrapping the quilt tightly around herself like a cocoon.“Then behave,” Joseph said with a wicked grin.“Oh.” Mason looked up at him, wide-eyed and pitiful.“You iron brute—how are you not the least bit tired after going at it all night?” she asked, curiosity edging into her embarrassment.“Maybe my body’s a little different—constitution’s not like most people’s,” Joseph said.“I used to wonder what had the little minx so obsessed with you,” Mason murmured, cheeks coloring. “Now I finally get it.”“What is it you get?” Joseph asked.“You’ve got your…talents. You’ve got your capital.”“And the capital you’ve got—well, it can make a woman lose herself,” she said, flushing deeper.Joseph, despite himself, glanced down at a certain place. Was that the “talent” she meant? The way she said it definitely carri

“What do you think? I’m here to cuddle. I want to hold you while I sleep. I want to fall asleep breathing you in.”Mason pressed closer, looping her arms gently around Joseph’s neck. She nuzzled his jaw with her nose, planted a quick, impish kiss on his cheek, then nestled her face into the warm hollow of his neck.She was all languid kitten, the kind that made your hands itch to stroke.“Like this, how am I supposed to sleep?” Joseph said, half helpless.“I don’t care. This is how I want to be. Or better yet, let’s not sleep at all—let’s talk till dawn. Heh-heh!”She giggled, delighted with herself.“Do you think I’m terribly childish?” she asked suddenly.“Haven’t you always been… like that? Childish? Maybe not childish. Not exactly,” he said, idly twining her hair around his fingers.“I’m only like this with you. You’re the man I like—my first, and my last.”“I love you. So I want to show you every side of me.”Her voice was sweet as honey. She leaned in and brushed his cheek with

“We can’t run experiments outside, but back in the room we can.”“But didn’t we run an experiment last night?”“Now it’s time to discuss the results.”Mason Alvarez sat on the edge of the bed and patted the space beside her, signaling Joseph to come over.“Don’t beat around the bush. Just say it.”Joseph’s mind stuttered.“So—do you feel any stronger?”Mason snuck a glance at him, asking with a hint of shyness.At that, Joseph finally remembered something important—something he’d actually managed to forget.“Oh—that.”He tapped his forehead.“Well? Any more formidable than before?” Mason pressed.Joseph rolled up his sleeve and flexed. The veins stood out beneath his skin; even at a glance, the power coursing through him was palpable.Mason swallowed without meaning to, staring at his power-laden arm. The sheer strength of it unsettled her a little.“Feels like my strength jumped again,” Joseph said, certain after a moment of listening to his body’s thrum.“Are you sure?” Mason asked.
