Josiah studied her closely for a brief time before suddenly breaking into a chuckle. He dipped his head slightly and flexed his wrist with a relaxed air, asking, “What else do we need to talk about?”

“Is your wrist giving you trouble?” she inquired with a hint of concern.

“You’re a gynecologist: don’t dip your toes into orthopedics,” he retorted playfully, leaving the woman speechless.

At that moment, his phone started to ring. The caller ID flashed the name “Tiff” across the screen in bold letters. Without hesitation, he answered the call.

“Jose, have you made it home yet?” Tiffany’s voice came through the speaker.

“Yes, I’m just at the entrance of the residential area,” he replied.

“Then hurry on home. I’ve asked someone to pick up some analgesic balm for you. Make sure Eleanor helps you apply it to your wrist tonight. It’s crucial for reducing the swelling.

“Got it.”

“Jose, I really owe you one for today. I would have embarrassed myself again without your help.”

“If you can’t manage in high heels, maybe consider not wearing them. They only seem to cause you pain,” Josiah advised.

“But you know, it’s because you’re so tall. I look too short next to you without heels. And Lyss always looks so good when she wears them,” Tiffany explained, adding wistfully, “I guess I just want to look as elegant as her.”

“You don’t need to copy her,” Josiah replied.

“I know, but you used to adore her so much. Even though our marriage is more of a business. arrangement, I still hope you might come to like me a little,” she confessed.

Josiah pinched the bridge of his nose, a gesture of his frustration. “Fdon’t fancy women who wear high heels.

“Oh, is that so?”

“Yes.”

“What about hairstyles? Do you prefer straight or curly hair?” Tiffany asked.

“I prefer straight,” he commented casually.

“That figures. Today, Lysa had her hair straight and Lyss had hers curled. You seemed to pay more attention to Lysa,” she noted.

Josiah furrowed his brows, irritated. “Don’t start with that nonsense; they were our guests.”

“Oh.”
