“Must you always throw insults at me?” Josue snapped back, clearly agitated. “Guess again!”

It seemed he was practically inviting Bryan to provoke him further.

Bryan’s response was sharp and unforgiving. “What is it then? Picked a day to die? Found a girlfriend? Decided to tie the knot?”

“None of those,” Josue replied, dismissing all the guesses in one quick breath.

Josue’s enthusiasm bubbled over. “Honestly, I’m kind of thrilled to play the dad role. I’m not sure if it’s going to be a boy or a girl, but I’ve always wanted a daughter.”
