"Joseph, how do I look?"She twirled in front of him, deliberately giving him a better view.Alice was now dressed in a white cropped T-shirt, revealing a sliver of her smooth, toned stomach. Her slender waist was impossibly delicate, like a willow swaying in the breeze.She paired it with a short white skirt, which flared gently as she spun, exposing her long, fair legs.Joseph swallowed hard, his thoughts momentarily derailed.Unfortunately, she was wearing leggings underneath—truly, one of the most tragic inventions in human history."Ahem… it looks nice."Joseph cleared his throat, his face growing warm.Nice? That was an understatement. It was absolutely lethal."Hehe, then help me dry my hair!"Alice beamed, plopping down beside him with an expectant look.She didn’t know why, but whenever Joseph dried her hair, she felt overwhelmingly happy.His every movement carried a gentleness that was utterly captivating.Each day, this was the moment she looked forward to the most.As Ali

"Well, the lady next door isn’t wrong.""Exactly! Uncle Mason, you always understand things so well!"Leah nodded firmly in agreement, then continued—"Mom always says my dad was a great hero, but I think Uncle Mason is just as amazing. Dad isn’t here anymore, and Uncle Mason has done so much to help Mom and take care of me. Uncle Mason is a good man.""I even looked through Dad’s old belongings, and I could read all the words on his notes. He told Mom to forget about him and find someone who could take care of her for a lifetime.""I think Uncle Mason is the perfect person to take care of Mom forever. He’s always so kind to me too. Why don’t you two just get married?"Leah’s expression was serious, completely unaware of how direct her words were."You little rascal, don’t just say whatever comes to mind!"Molly’s face flushed slightly as she gently scolded her daughter."But I’m not lying! Everything I said is true!"Leah blinked up at Molly, looking entirely justified."Alright, alr

After all, at thirty-six, a woman longed for companionship and warmth more than ever.Before Mason entered her life, she had spent years living alone, accustomed to solitude.But ever since he had walked into her world three years ago, breaking down the walls she had built around her heart, she had been unable to resist him.Now, if she went even a month without seeing him, she would miss him to the point of restlessness."Mason, stop it… This is the kitchen…"Feeling his increasing proximity, Molly whispered anxiously, her face burning as if it could melt."What’s wrong with the kitchen? Isn’t it even better?"Mason Morgan murmured into Molly’s ear."No! Absolutely not! Leah is still outside!""Please, be good, okay? Wait until she’s asleep… You’re making this really difficult for me."Molly turned around and gently pushed Mason away, her eyes full of pleading.Seeing her expression, Mason sighed and relented."Ahem… That little rascal is in the study playing games."He cleared his t

Joseph glanced at the time; it was already nearing 10:30 PM."Yeah, I have an early class tomorrow too. It is getting late."Alice checked her phone and nodded."Alright, let’s go to bed. I still need to clean the silver needles I used today."Joseph said as he stood up."I want you to carry me to my room!"Alice stretched out her arms, pouting as she demanded to be pampered."Fine, let’s go."Joseph chuckled and effortlessly scooped her up, one arm supporting her slender waist and the other cradling her legs.Alice was petite and light, making it easy for him to lift her.Nestled in his arms, she snuggled against his chest like a content little kitten, rubbing her cheek against him as if reluctant to leave the warmth of his embrace.Joseph nudged open her bedroom door with his foot and gently placed her onto the bed, switching on the bedside lamp.Then, he adjusted the air conditioning to a comfortable temperature and carefully tucked the blanket around her, ensuring she was snugly w

Molly paused for a moment before sitting down beside him. Straightening her posture, she gave him a serious look."I’ve never really thought about it before. I was actually going to ask you what you think."Mason fell silent for a moment, then sighed."Before Alice’s mother passed away, she also wished for me to find someone again. But for so many years, I couldn’t let go of her, so I never considered it.""Until three years ago, when I met you."Molly lowered her head slightly, a faint blush creeping onto her cheeks."Actually… Clifford left behind a similar message in his will.""Our families share the same circumstances. Both of us have lived in incomplete homes… Maybe we could build a complete one together."Molly said thoughtfully, her voice steady."Clifford sacrificed himself, and I met you. Perhaps this is fate’s way of arranging things."Mason sighed softly."Clifford was a true hero. Though I never had the chance to meet him, I’ve always respected him.""If we were to get ma

Once inside the bathroom, Mason Morgan wasted no time, finishing his shower as quickly as possible.Yet, when he stepped out, he realized Molly still hadn’t come out of Leah’s room.A flicker of disappointment crossed his heart, but he remained hopeful, waiting for her in the living room.Half an hour passed before Molly finally emerged, gently closing Leah’s door behind her."Mason, Leah’s asleep now."She walked toward him slowly, a tinge of shyness lingering on her face.The moment those words reached his ears, a fire ignited in Mason Morgan’s chest.He stood up, wrapped his arms around Molly’s slender waist, and pulled her tightly into his embrace."Ah—!"Molly let out a soft gasp, startled by his sudden movement.That delicate, breathy sound only served to stoke the fire in Mason Morgan’s eyes, making his desire burn even hotter."Tonight, I’m going to make sure you pay for teasing me like this."Without another word, Mason Morgan scooped her up and strode toward the bedroom."Ma

Nova City, Whispering Pines Villas Joseph had been meticulously cleaning his silver needles for quite some time, and by now, it was almost midnight. It had taken him over an hour to ensure the needles were spotless. First, he rinsed them with water, then carefully disinfected them with alcohol. The more advanced the silver needles, the stricter the requirements for cleaning and sterilization. Though these weren’t Blake Morgan’s most prized set, they were still custom-made, incredibly valuable, and of the highest quality. Finally, after much effort, Joseph finished handling the needles. Humming a light tune, he stepped out of the bathroom. "Tsk, why do my ears feel hot all of a sudden? Is someone talking about me?" "Who could be thinking about me this late at night?" Joseph absentmindedly rubbed his ear, noticing the unusual warmth, and muttered to himself. As a doctor, he knew that occasional ear warmth was a normal physiological reaction. After a quick self-check, he found

"Charles…? But Charles doesn’t know how to cook either!" Maria Long's face twisted in frustration. "Cooking skills aren’t the point—it’s the effort that counts. You ate the meal he cooked last time, didn’t you? Eat it a few more times, and your stomach will develop immunity." "Besides, gastroenteritis, if treated in time, isn’t usually fatal." Heidi's tone was lighthearted. "You little brat! Are you mocking me?" Maria Long’s expression darkened further. "Mocking or not, it doesn’t really matter anymore. Mom, I suggest you start preparing yourself for what's coming." "This villa was a reward Grandpa gave to Fiona, but the ownership still belongs to the family—it was never truly ours." "After what you did, do you really think Grandpa won’t take it back? You should start making plans now." Heidi's tone was earnest, as if she were trying to reason with her mother. "What did I do? Why would your grandfather take back this villa?" "This villa was given to Fiona, so it belongs to

Just then, Mason Alvarez pulled out her phone and snapped a quick photo of their intertwined hands."There we go. I’ll send this to my parents—they’ll finally believe me." She looked quite pleased with herself."What if they ask you to bring your boyfriend home?" Joseph asked, casually releasing her hand as he got into the car."We’re still just getting to know each other. Holding hands doesn’t mean we’re ready for a family dinner. That’s still years away—three to five at least, don’t you think?""Either way, I’m done chatting with all those weirdos my parents keep picking."Mason mumbled from the passenger seat, her voice full of exasperation."Fair enough," Joseph said as he started the car and pulled out onto the road.As they drove, Joseph couldn’t help but notice how different Mason Alvarez seemed. The change had started the moment she took his hand.Before, she’d always come across as bold and difficult. But when she held his hand, something shifted—she became gentle, almost

"Uh... it's not bad," Joseph replied, a little stiffly.After all, honesty counts, right? How could anyone possibly say such soft, smooth hands didn’t feel nice to hold?"Do you want to keep holding them?" Mason Alvarez bit her lip and glanced sideways at him."That might not be appropriate..." Joseph looked uncomfortable, as if he were the one taking advantage."I don’t mind. So what’s inappropriate?" Mason rolled her eyes at him. Was this Wilson teacher really that clueless?Most men would kill for the chance to get close to her, and here he was, looking like he was doing her a disservice. The world was full of guys trying to take advantage of her, and yet this one — the one she offered it to — looked like he’d rather run."Alice is my girlfriend now. It just feels... wrong," Joseph said plainly, his conscience clearly weighing on him."Hey, hey, what are you talking about? She approved this, okay? I wouldn’t do anything sneaky behind her back.""You make it sound like I’m the

After leaving the night market, Joseph and Mason Alvarez strolled down a quiet street. It was still a bit of a walk back to where they had parked. They had wandered quite far without realizing it."Mr. Wilson, are you out of your mind? That guy was throwing questions at you left and right—didn't that strike you as suspicious? How could you just share your personal information with a total stranger?""Especially things like your phone number, ID number, and other personal details—you should never reveal those to anyone.""These days, society’s a mess. Who knows what someone might do with that kind of information?"Mason walked steadily along the road, speaking in a casual tone."I know," Joseph replied with a nod."Then why did you do it?"Mason shot him a disbelieving look."Because I didn’t think he was a bad person. He had this air about him—stern, principled. He said he was a soldier, fresh off the battlefield."Joseph smiled faintly as he spoke."You can sense someone’s aura? He

“Nothing really,” Clarence Bennett said, scratching his head with a sheepish smile. “Just saw a familiar face and wanted to say hi.”“But you seemed like you were in a hurry, as if something important was going on,” Joseph replied with a faint smile.“Did I?” Clarence chuckled awkwardly. “You two were walking so fast, I could barely keep up.”Joseph raised an eyebrow, clearly unconvinced.“To be honest, Mr. Wilson, you remind me of someone I used to know.”“You remember last time, I asked if you had any military experience?”“I remember,” Joseph said calmly. “And I already answered that question.”“Maybe I was just hoping too much,” Clarence admitted. “You’re just so much like him. But how could someone forget whether they served or not?”“I’ve forgotten a lot of things. Much of my past is just... blank.”Joseph’s tone was light, but distant.“You know, you’re really nosy,” Mason Alvarez suddenly cut in, her voice sharp. “Mr. Wilson clearly isn’t that close to you, yet you keep asking

Joseph’s dart shot through the air like a streak of silver light.Thud!With a sharp snap, it embedded itself deep into the spinning wheel. The moment it struck, the wheel froze in place.The dart had landed precisely in the red zone.The crowd around the stall gasped, stunned into silence.“Boss, does that mean I get to take the bunny home now?” Joseph asked with a grin.“This... this can’t be real…” the vendor stammered, momentarily speechless.“Was that really a bullseye? Am I seeing things?”“No, you’re not. He nailed it—one shot, dead center.”“My God… are there really men in this world who are that accurate?”The onlookers were in complete disbelief. To say he’d do it in one throw—and then actually do it? It was surreal.“Mr. Wilson, did you really hit it with just one dart?” Mason Alvarez rubbed her eyes, still unable to believe it.“What do you think?” Joseph replied, clearly amused by her expression.“If I’m not hallucinating, then yes… one dart. You nailed it.” Mason shook h

Before long, the table was covered with dishes.In truth, Mason Alvarez had already eaten quite a bit earlier, snacking on all sorts of things. Now, she only picked at a few bites before deciding she’d had enough. After about half an hour, she asked the waiter to pack up the remaining food for Joseph to take home.“Mr. Wilson, your car’s parked near the plaza, right? How about we walk back through the pedestrian street?”Mason suggested casually.“What else would we do, call a cab for five minutes of walking?” Joseph shot her a look.“Then let’s take it slow. It’s still early, and this area isn’t far from where your little sweetheart and I both live.”Mason skipped ahead with a cheerful grin.It was peak night market hours and the pedestrian street was bustling with people. Stalls lined both sides, offering every kind of street food imaginable.Mason wandered from one to the next, her eyes lighting up at every new snack.“Mr. Wilson, look! There’s a dart game over there. Let’s go play

“Huh? What did you say? Joseph can play the piano? How come I didn’t know that?”Alice’s voice was filled with genuine surprise.“You didn’t know either?”Mason Alvarez was equally taken aback. Joseph might have forgotten things, but Alice—his childhood friend—surely wouldn’t be unaware.After all, the two of them had grown up together.“Nope, I had no idea! But honestly, Joseph knows so many things, it wouldn’t surprise me if he could do anything.”“And he’s always been so low-key. Unless absolutely necessary, he never shows off his talents.”“Ugh, this Butterfly Lovers performance was so beautiful... and he’s never played a single note for me!” Alice grumbled, clearly annoyed.“The concert’s almost over. You’ll be getting your man back soon,” Mason quickly replied.“You better be right. [Bored.jpg]”Alice sent back a curt message, and Mason didn’t reply further.Just then, a waiter finally arrived with hot water. Joseph took a few sips and felt much better.“Mr. Wilson, it’s almost

"Thank you for the offer, Mr. Zasit," Joseph said with a faint, bitter smile, "but I’m afraid I must decline.""I have a deep love for music, but the piano is only a hobby for me. I’ve never intended to pursue it as a lifelong career."The host translated Joseph’s response in real time, and Zasit’s face registered visible shock."Oh! What a pity," Zasit exclaimed, stunned. "You possess extraordinary talent. You should be shining on the world's grandest stages."He was clearly taken aback. It was hard for him to imagine anyone turning down his invitation."Is he insane? Do you know how many musicians would kill for such an opportunity?""If Zasit ever recognized me, I'd probably laugh myself awake from the dream.""Still, I suppose Mr. Wilson has earned the right to choose. If Zasit himself calls him gifted beyond compare, how many people in this world could match that praise?"The crowd buzzed with astonishment and admiration.“My performance is over, and I’ve done what I came here to

“Mr. Zasit met the love of his life when they were just sixteen. At the time, he was penniless but hopelessly devoted to music.”“She supported his dream unconditionally. To make ends meet, she worked tirelessly, taking on odd jobs just to feed him.”“But when he finally achieved fame and success, tragedy struck—she fell gravely ill and passed away in his arms. He watched helplessly as the light faded from her eyes.”“Mr. Wilson’s music stirred memories long buried deep within him, transporting him back to those difficult yet beautiful days. For a fleeting moment, he saw her radiant smile again.”“That’s why he lost control of his emotions. He asked me to express his sincerest apologies to everyone here.”With those words, the host concluded Zasit’s story and bowed respectfully to the audience.The hall erupted once more in thunderous applause.Off to the side, Lewis Craig stood frozen, his face contorted in embarrassment. He gritted his teeth.What the hell just happened? How is this
