Chapter 718
Feeling Joseph take the lead, Mason Alvarez wrapped her arms tight around his neck, pulling him closer, needing to breathe him in, to savor the raw presence of the man she’d chosen.Her words had moved him more than he could say. In that instant, he vowed to cherish her—to love her with a fierce devotion that would be the deepest, strongest gift he could give.His ardor kindled an answering flame in Mason. She explored him with reckless hunger, meeting his passion with her own.It was destined to be a sleepless night. At last, spent and sated, she fell asleep in Joseph’s arms, adrift in his warmth.She slept deeply, a faint, blissful smile lingering at the corner of her lips.The next morning, when Joseph got up, he didn’t wake Mason. She clearly needed the rest.Alice, who’d been drunk the night before, was already up. Today she wore thin cotton shorts and a fitted shirt—simple, clean lines that somehow made her even more alluring.The outfit framed every curve to devastating effect.

“The only condition is this: as long as you can make me happy, I’ll tell you everything.”Mason Alvarez smiled impishly at Joseph, her bright eyes unreadable, as though some private calculation was flickering behind them.“And what exactly would make you happy?”Joseph was momentarily at a loss, half-understanding, half-bewildered.“Use your head. You’ll figure it out.”With deliberate mystery, Mason slipped into her room.Joseph stood there, baffled. This woman—did she really need him that much? By “happy,” could she possibly mean… that?He let the thought drift and didn’t press it. Instead, he headed to the bathroom for a shower.Nearly twenty minutes later, Joseph knocked on Mason’s door.She opened it almost at once.“You came.”Her gaze slid over him like silk, tender and luminous, brimming with a heat that felt as if it might spill over.“Didn’t you ask me to?”Joseph gave a rueful smile.“You said you wanted to know what the three of us talked about today. So I asked you to com

“Alright, alright—I was wrong! I misspoke,” Heidi said in a rush. “I’m going to get some water. So thirsty!”Catching Fiona’s murderous look, she bolted from the couch toward the kitchen. Fiona could only sigh. Sisters.“This barbecue is excellent. Professor Wilson’s cooking tastes even better than before,” Fiona said as she ate, her meaning layered.“Doesn’t it? It’s so good I feel like I’ll never be full. Oh, and guess what—my brother-in-law got a one-million-dollar award from the university. Impressive, right?” Heidi said, animated.“That remarkable?” Fiona arched a brow. “Then again, his professional skill is the real deal. He’s been at Nova University not even half a year and he’s already done so much for them. I heard most of this year’s top-scoring students chose Nova—and many of them went for Professor Wilson specifically.”“No kidding. He’s insanely competent,” Heidi said. “But sis, what do you think he did before? He’s so young and already that capable—he can’t have been a n

“I’m not telling. If you’re dying to know, ask Senior Mason Alvarez and little Alice yourself.” Heidi pouted, playfully proud.“Alright then,” Joseph sighed, letting it go.“To think I was worried you might be starving or struggling—turns out you’re living in a villa.” Heidi grinned. “Brother-in-law, you really are something.”“A lot of things only come back to me bit by bit,” Joseph said with a rueful shake of his head.“How much have you remembered now?” Heidi asked.“Hard to say. More and more. My body’s starting to feel like it used to.”“How it used to?” Heidi’s curiosity sparked. “What did that feel like?”“Powerful,” Joseph said, certain. “Like being charged with strength.”“Charged with strength,” Heidi echoed. “That explains why Senior Mason says you’re very strong.”The words hit Joseph’s ear wrong—way wrong.“Why would Professor Alvarez be talking to you about my strength?” he asked, puzzled.“Uh… she just said you’re very strong,” Heidi blurted, flustered. Thinking of what

“You little brat—you’re trying to buy me off, aren’t you? Fine, bring her something. But don’t make him go to any trouble. If it’s a hassle, forget it. If you’re with your brother-in-law, I’m less worried. Just don’t get carried away.”Hearing Heidi’s sweet talk, Fiona’s irritation fizzled. Her sister could be sharp-tongued and rebellious, but she’d always treated Fiona well—and the feeling was mutual. After all, she only had the one sister.“Got it, got it. Don’t worry,” Heidi chirped, then hung up.“Brother-in-law, my sister will message you in a minute. Just tell her I’m here,” Heidi said as she returned to her seat.“Alright,” Joseph replied—and right then his Facebook buzzed. As expected, Fiona had written.“Professor Wilson, Heidi says she’s with you. She’s not lying, is she? She went out in the afternoon and it’s already eleven. If she’s not with you, I’ll worry.”“She’s with me,” Joseph typed back. He turned on the camera and snapped a quick shot of Heidi mid-bite, looking ado

“What’s a big man like you doing prying into gossip? What we talk about is none of your business,” Mason Alvarez said, rolling her eyes at Joseph.“Joseph, I’ll tell you later,” Alice murmured conspiratorially.“You traitor—switching sides right in front of us,” Mason said, giving Alice a sharp pinch.“I didn’t! It’s not even a secret. How is that ‘switching sides’?” Alice protested.“Say what you like—I was just asking.” Joseph scratched his head with a grin. “Why don’t we get started? Everything’s ready.”“Heidi’s probably starving. Let’s sort out the food,” Mason suggested.Before long, they were out on the rooftop terrace.“Heidi, it’s been ages since you had Joseph’s barbecue, hasn’t it? Here—you first!” Alice handed her a massive grilled drumstick.“Thanks, Alice.” Heidi accepted it gratefully.“And this is for you too!” Mason, refusing to be outdone, passed Heidi a skewer of grilled wings.“Thank you, Senior Alvarez, but this is too much—how am I going to finish all this?” Heid
