“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

    “Captain Christopher, I’m done with what I had to do. I can give my statement now,” Charles Martin said as he approached.“Let’s go. I’ll handle this myself,” Captain Christopher replied, taking the lead. Charles fell in behind him.Moments later, they stepped into an interview room and got to work.Time ticked by, and afternoon deepened into evening.Around six, Fiona returned home after a long day. She sank onto the sofa, feeling her exhaustion finally begin to ease.“How’s Mr. Wilson?” she asked casually when Heidi came out of her room.“Much better—surprisingly fast. He’s not like most people,” Heidi said, a hint of admiration in her tone.She poured herself a glass of water, then filled one for Fiona as well.“You still haven’t told me how he got hurt,” Fiona said, sipping her water.“It was just a sparring match,” Heidi replied. “He’s good with his hands, as you know. He was exchanging moves with someone and got injured. That’s about it.” “If you want details, ask him yourse

    “I… we…” Maria Long stammered, at a loss for words.“Save it for the station. Take them away.” Captain Christopher gestured to his men. They understood at once, snapped handcuffs onto the pair, and led them out.Maria Long kept hurling threats, but Captain Christopher didn’t so much as blink. Word about the Cooper family had spread far and wide; even if they hadn’t been directly involved, they’d heard enough.Never mind that Maria Long had nearly gotten old Mr. Cooper killed—setting that aside, the old man was hardly the unreasonable type.“Mr. Martin, we’ll need you to come in and give a statement,” Captain Christopher said to Charles Martin.“Fine, but I need to check on my cousin at the hospital first.” “Whether she’s close family or not, I was the one who called her here. I have to take responsibility—otherwise I won’t be able to look my own relatives in the eye.”Charles Martin exhaled lightly.“That’s acceptable,” Christopher replied. “But don’t take too long.” “I’ll e

    At Charles Martin’s words, the men finally let him go. He hurried to Peggy’s side and began a swift assessment.“Water. She needs water.”Once he’d gauged her condition, Charles spoke crisply.People scrambled to fetch it.“Charles… Charles Martin, I did hit her—but you hit me too. Let’s just call it even.”Maria Long’s face was swollen and bruised, waves of pain distorting her speech.“Charles, why not leave it at that? If not for our sake, at least for Fiona’s.”“We’ll move out immediately.”Sensing the tide turning, Stephen Cooper rushed to add his voice.“Even? How is this even?”“Save it for the police. The Cooper family may be a great house in Nova City, but this is wanton cruelty—you’re criminals.”“I don’t owe anyone that courtesy.”“Peggy came here at my behest. I am responsible for her. I’m no saint, but I always settle my debts.”Charles actually let out a short, incredulous laugh.“Charles Martin, you say we beat her and that makes it true? What evidence do you have?”Mari

    “It shouldn’t be Charles Martin. Didn’t he say he was coming this afternoon?”“And besides, Charles has a key. He’d just come in.”Panic flickered across Stephen Cooper’s face.Ding-dong. Ding-dong.The bell rang again, more insistent this time.“Who is it? Stop leaning on the doorbell!”Maria Long raised her voice.“Auntie, it’s me—Charles Martin.”The voice came from outside.“Charles… Charles Martin!”Stephen and Maria froze.“Quick—drag her into the room. Hide her. I’ll stall him.”Maria hissed, her voice low and urgent.“Right.”Stephen bent to haul the girl away, but she was seventeen or eighteen—hardly weightless. She wouldn’t budge easily.“Auntie? Open up.”Charles called out again.“Charles, didn’t you say you were coming later? I’m right in the middle of packing. I don’t have time to see you now. Come back this afternoon.”Maria’s voice shook.“I’m here to help. I’ve already called a moving company. They’ll be here in a few minutes.”Charles replied.“Auntie really can’t to

    “Huh? That—I pressed the wrong button.”Maria Long’s voice faltered, a tremor of panic threading through it.“Even if you did, you pressed the wrong button that many times?”A thin smile curled across Charles Martin’s face. He clearly didn’t buy her story.“Well… my phone’s been acting up. It can’t even take calls. The moment I answer, it hangs up on its own.”Maria stumbled, then finally landed on something that sounded barely plausible.“Is that so?”Charles’s reply was ice-cold.“So, Charles, why are you calling? Is something the matter?”Maria pressed on.“Auntie, I asked you and Uncle to move out, remember? How’s that coming along?”Charles remained impeccably polite.“We started. Truly. It’s just… there’s so much stuff. Could you give us a few more days?”Maria’s tone softened into pleading.“Auntie, today’s the final deadline. I’ll be leaving the country in a few days. I need to turn the property over to professionals.”“You have to be out today. Otherwise, you’ll put me in a v

    “You’re asking me? I don’t know either. Maybe it’s just my physique—something about me is… different.”Joseph only chuckled as he spoke.“Mr. Wilson, you really are a strange man.”Mason Alvarez lifted her head slightly to look at Joseph, a bright gleam flickering in her eyes.“What kind of strange? The way you say it sounds oddly strange in itself.”Joseph couldn’t help but laugh.“Your strength is strange, your body’s strange, and even in that respect, you’re far beyond other men. You can’t be measured by common sense at all.”At the mention of that respect, a faint blush warmed Mason Alvarez’s delicate face. It took her a moment to force the words out.“Ahem… I don’t know why either!”Joseph’s face flushed too. Put that way, he did sound rather unusual.For the next two days, the three women scarcely left Joseph’s side. Even Heidi stayed over two nights.In those two days, Joseph was more or less relentlessly pampered by Alice and Heidi.As for Dr. Mason Alvarez, she took charge of
