“Even if you lack Hayden’s skills, you absolutely cannot afford to fall short when it comes to spirit! Understand? Or else. I’ll just have to teach you a lesson myself!” Madelyn declared with vigor, her fist punching the air as she sported a mock–threatening expression.

Startled, Josiah instinctively shrank back, his voice tinged with a helpless plea, “Come on, can’t you go easy just this once? You’re supposed to be recovering from that injury, yet here you are, stirring things up. Are you trying to aggravate your condition even further?”

Madelyn greeted the brothers with a cordial smile, her manner polite yet infused with a natural innocence and charm, which immediately endeared her to Mason and Xander, greatly enhancing their first impression of her.

“I understand Ms. Thornton has been keeping an eye on Josiah recently? That must have been quite the challenge, as handling him is like dealing with a monkey. We’ll be counting on your patience moving forward,” Mason commented, his tone even and serene
