The culture over there was relatively liberal. Men and women spending the night together didn’t necessarily imply any romantic involvement. They could even be in such a situation without knowing each other’s names.

However, Josiah was not that kind of man. It was precisely because he was a man of integrity that the presence of a girl by his side in the dead of night stirred thore curiosity.

Josiah’s voice carried an unmistakable sweetness as he said, “She’s not my girlfriend. She’s my wife.”

Josiah automatically omitted the fact that she was his ex–wife.

A gasp of surprise immediately echoed through the earphone.

The fact that a man like him had a girlfriend was surprising enough, let alone that he was now a married

man.

While his friends were happy for him, they simultaneously developed an interest in the love story between him and his wife.

Josiah simply smiled, neither offering any explanation nor expressing any opposition.

Thinking he was being mysterious, they promptly came up with a new idea, suggesting. “Josiah, the next time we go back home to report on our work, you must remember to introduce us to your wife.”

“Indeed! We didn’t have the chance to greet Mrs. Guerra just now. That’s not very polite toward a refined lady, is it?”

“Josiah, we can even get acquainted right now.”

Their enthusiasm was simply overwhelming.

Josiah contemplated what Lysander’s reaction might be upon learning of the situation. With a sigh of resignation, he said, “I can’t make any promises right now. She’s a person with her own mind, not someone I can easily persuade. In the end, it will depend on whether she’s willing to meet you guys.”

Upon hearing these words, the expressions of the people on the screen simultaneously turned to surprise.

-Before they could ask again, Josiah composed himself, putting on a serious face as he said, “All right; let’s get back to our previous topic. It’s already half past three in the morning here. If we don’t get this work done soon, I’ll be pulling an all–nighter.”
