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

"Actually… Heidi said something earlier that made a lot of sense. Maybe we do have another option." Maria Long’s eyes suddenly lit up. "What option?" Stephen Cooper turned to look at her, his expression filled with doubt."Have you forgotten? Charles’ mother and I are close friends. Their family may have moved abroad, but he still has a pretty nice villa here in Nova City. I’m sure he’s still living there." "If I ask Charles to let us move in, do you think he’d agree?" "Living in my future son-in-law’s house would actually be quite prestigious. At the very least, it would show that my daughter's fiancé is capable." Maria Long's eyes gleamed with greed. Stephen Cooper, however, looked hesitant. "But Fiona and Charles aren’t even officially together yet. Moving into his home seems a bit… inappropriate, don’t you think?" "Besides, I don't think Fiona has any real feelings for him. Now that the old man is awake, their chances of ending up together are even slimmer." Stephen Coop

Truthfully, not having a laptop was inconvenient. Every time he prepared lecture materials, he had to transfer them via an external hard drive. Fortunately, Nova University’s classrooms were well-equipped. Otherwise, things would be even more troublesome. While Mason Alvarez busied herself with arranging her new workspace, Joseph continued his own work. About ten minutes later, she finally seemed satisfied with her setup and sat down with a pleased expression. "Professor Wilson, want an egg?" Mason Alvarez, now in a great mood, pulled a boiled egg from her breakfast and offered it to him. "Thanks, but I’ve already had breakfast." Joseph declined politely. "Come on, just have one. These are farm-fresh eggs from my brother’s shop—nutritious and delicious! I eat one every morning." Mason Alvarez insisted enthusiastically. "Your brother’s eggs?" "Your brother… lays eggs?" Joseph nearly choked on his own words. "The hell is wrong with you?!" "I meant my brother’s breakfast sho

"Mason loves pan-fried buns. These ones are a specialty from the south, different from regular fried dumplings." "She eats them almost every day—without fail. I always see her eating them in the office." "So there’s no doubt. These buns were definitely bought by Mason for you." Felix Baker declared confidently. "Wait, wait, wait! Professor Baker, how do you know I didn’t buy them myself?" Joseph found the whole thing amusing. "Because you wouldn’t." "You always eat breakfast at home before coming in. I’ve been in this office with you for over two weeks now, and not once have I seen you eat breakfast here." "So, logically, these buns must be from Mason." Felix Baker stated matter-of-factly. "Professor, isn’t that a bit of a stretch? What if today was an exception? What if he didn’t have time to eat at home?" Mason Alvarez’s face turned even redder as she tried to argue. "Impossible. When I walked in, Professor Wilson was already working at his computer, with documents open

Unfortunately, his attempt at discretion backfired spectacularly. Rather than blending in, his highly suspicious appearance did the exact opposite—drawing the attention of nearly every passerby. Heads turned. People whispered. He had an absurdly high return rate. Thankfully, it was still early, and there weren’t too many people around. This mysterious, black-clad man was none other than Mason Morgan. It was his first time visiting the andrology department. And frankly, he had no idea what he was doing. A man with this kind of problem couldn’t exactly walk in with his head held high. If a familiar face saw him here… he’d never live it down! To avoid such humiliation, Mason Morgan had carefully disguised himself. But… "Excuse me, miss…" Mason Morgan entered the registration hall and approached a young nurse, lowering his voice. The nurse turned her head—only to be met with his extremely suspicious attire. "Ah!" She let out a startled yelp, instinctively taking two steps

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

Joseph didn’t respond immediately. Instead, he took a moment to consider.“Since Mr. Craig has chosen a foreign love song, I will also choose a love-themed classic from Elysia.”“I’ll play the piano piece Butterfly Lovers.”He spoke calmly, but with conviction.“Butterfly Lovers? What an outdated, cliché piece. How utterly provincial,” Lewis Craig sneered, scoffing with disdain under his breath.“Oh, Butterfly Lovers? I know it. I’ve heard it... it’s beautiful!”Zasit, after a moment’s struggle to catch the key words in Joseph’s sentence, suddenly lit up. In his excitement, he blurted out one of the few phrases he knew in Elysian.“Sir, I know this piece. It’s famous—a tragic love story. If you can perform it, whether it’s perfect or flawed, my journey today will be complete.”He spoke in French, his Elysian heavily accented and broken, clearly limited in vocabulary.“Mr. Zasit said he knows the piece Butterfly Lovers and is familiar with its sorrowful tale of love,” the host translat

The host, clearly at a loss under Joseph’s instruction, turned instinctively to Lewis Craig for guidance.“Translate it, obviously! Why are you looking at me like that? I didn’t understand a word they said either!” Lewis Craig frowned, irritation flashing across his face. He was beginning to suspect the host was not the brightest.“You want me to translate word for word?” The host muted his mic and asked.“Isn’t that obvious? If you don’t translate it properly, how the hell am I supposed to know what they said?” Lewis Craig was nearly seething. He was tempted to kick the man off stage. Where did the organizers find this genius? Completely clueless.Following the instruction, the host began translating the exchange between Joseph and Zasit for the audience.As the audience listened, surprise and admiration rippled through the hall. Suddenly, Joseph’s earlier evasiveness about his memory made perfect sense.“Before I begin,” Joseph said, addressing the room in fluent French, “I nee
