"You're overthinking it. She's not that kind of person. She's gentle, understanding, and obedient," Joseph replied, defending her.

"Really?" Heidi raised a brow. "Then what about me, Mr. Wilson? Am I not gentle, not understanding, not obedient?"

"You are gentle, understanding, and obedient too, alright?" Joseph said with a sigh.

"That's more like it." Heidi finally smiled, clearly pleased.

"My sister’s here today too. She didn’t go to work. She should be in Grandpa’s room right now," Heidi informed him.

"That’s fine. It doesn’t bother me," Joseph said with a relaxed smile.

"Doesn’t it feel awkward for you two?" she asked curiously.

"Why would it? If your heart is clear, there’s nothing to feel awkward about."

As they spoke, they arrived outside the room. Before entering, Heidi let go of Joseph’s arm.

After all, it wouldn’t be appropriate for Fiona to see them like that. Given her and Joseph’s past, she knew very well that their relationship couldn't be flaunted.

Still, even if their l

    Upon entering, Joseph noticed Alice wasn’t in the living room—she must’ve already gone to her room.He grabbed a set of pajamas and went to shower.About ten minutes later, he stepped out, drying his hair, and once again thought of Mason Alvarez’s words.He began to hesitate—should he really do this experiment? But Alice seemed to be asleep already.Suddenly, an idea struck him. He pulled out his phone and sent Alice a message.“Hey, are you asleep?”Alice replied quickly.“Just got in bed. Joseph, what’s up? I knew you were back. I saw you were in the shower, so I didn’t say anything.”Seeing her message, Joseph put his phone away and glanced at Alice’s bedroom door.Standing in the living room, he hesitated again. Should he ask Alice about the experiment or not?After a moment’s thought, he finally walked over and knocked gently on her door.“Is that Joseph?” Alice’s voice came from inside—and as soon as she spoke, the door opened.Alice stood before him in a light, sexy nightgown,

    “I’m not joking. I mean it,” Mason replied, her tone playful and flirtatious. “After all, you’ve already seen everything there is to see. What difference does it make?”“Professor Alvarez, looks like it’s about to rain. I need to get home and bring in the laundry,” Joseph said, pointing to the sky.“Oh? Is it?” Mason straightened up and took a couple of steps back, glancing up at the sky. But there was no rain. The night was clear, the moon bright and round—where was the rain?At that moment, Joseph started the car and drove off.It was only then that Mason realized something was off. Watching Joseph’s car disappear, she was left speechless.“Coward. Am I really that scary?” she muttered to herself. “What, does he think I’ll eat him alive? Is it my figure or my looks that he finds so objectionable?”She stamped her foot in frustration, whispering under her breath, and only then did she head upstairs alone.But even as she made her way up, Mason wasn’t idle. She pulled out her phone an

    By a little past eight, the three of them were finally full and satisfied from dinner.Mason Alvarez had eaten well tonight and looked quite content.“Professor Wilson, it’s about time for me to head home. Would you mind giving me a ride? It’ll only take ten minutes or so,” Mason said to Joseph.“Just let me know when you’re ready to go,” Joseph replied simply.Mason rested for another half an hour before finally calling for Joseph to head out with her.When Joseph opened the car door, Mason took the passenger seat.“Buckle your seatbelt,” Joseph reminded her.“Oh, right.” Mason quickly fastened her seatbelt at his prompting.Joseph drove out of the neighborhood, the car quiet. He barely said a word the whole way, lost in thought.“Professor Wilson, is something on your mind? You look so out of it tonight. That’s not like you,” Mason observed, sharp as ever.“It’s nothing serious, just... some things I’m puzzled about,” Joseph hesitated, then answered.“Puzzled? About what? Tell me, m

    Listening to the two of them talk, Joseph didn’t seem the least bit hurried. He walked into the kitchen first and put the groceries into the fridge.“What’s the rush? You can’t see it now anyway. We have to upload it to the computer before we can look at anything,” Mason Alvarez said to Alice.“Oh, I’m just worried about Joseph’s health, that’s all,” Alice replied, her tone casual.“Your Joseph is basically fine. Every night he gives you a happy, blissful life,” Mason Alvarez set her things down and flopped onto the sofa, letting out a contented sigh.She had to admit, Alice’s sofa was incredibly comfortable.“What do you mean, ‘happy, blissful life’? I’ve only ever heard of ‘happy life.’ Are you sure you’re using the right words?” Alice rolled her eyes; for a moment, she didn’t catch Mason’s underlying meaning.“Heh, I mean blissful. Isn’t it blissful when you’re with Professor Alvarez at night? Don’t you feel like you’re on cloud nine, unable to stop, teetering between life and deat

    "The situation isn’t looking good," the middle-aged doctor said, his brows furrowed after a thorough examination. "He’s not dead... but he’s very close.""Looks like induced acute renal failure."The words stunned the room into silence. Murmurs broke out among the onlookers."Induced acute renal failure? Judging by how he’s not wearing anything, I bet he was doing something... unspeakable.""Isn’t it obvious? A man and a woman, in a hotel room, undressed—what else could they be doing?""Mr. Kim’s been fooling around here since last night. Switched out several women already. Fighting non-stop for a whole day and night—even an ox couldn’t take it!""Seriously. Around noon, I saw him walk in with a woman in her mid-thirties. When I saw him again later, his face looked ghostly pale—like he’d been drained of his life force.""That’s terrifying. Auntie's waist—the blade of death!""People always say lustful men die between the sheets. Today, I actually witnessed it.""Brothers, take this

    "Good, just making sure," Joseph replied with a sheepish smile.He might’ve been a little slow on the uptake, but he wasn’t stupid. He could more or less read between the lines of what Mason Alvarez had been hinting at."Help yourself to some water," Mason said casually before slipping back into the resting room.Same resting room. Same semi-transparent partition.Joseph poured himself a glass of water and sat down.As he sipped, he found himself—once again—watching an unintentional performance of elegance and allure.To be fair, it wasn’t exactly “unintentional.” And it certainly wasn’t “forced” either. A man was, after all, still a man—and some instincts were simply beyond his control.This woman wasn’t just being careless. She was doing it on purpose. And he couldn’t even bring himself to look away.After a while, Mason emerged again."All set, Professor Wilson. Have you finished your water? If you have, let’s go."She slung her bag over her shoulder, glancing at him."Yes, I’m
