Joe?
Yes, its my nickname, Joey replied with a grin.
Lukas became more perplexed as he stared at Joey. He felt as though he was seeing Victor for the first time as a small child. Victor stood in the chilly wind that day. He was frail, but he stood straight.

Really? Why? Lukas stared at him in amusement.
Because I think youre a good person, Joey answered with a smile.
My mommy said she met an old housekeeper while she was pregnant with me, and he took good care of her and helped her a lot. I believe you are just Like the housekeeper my mommy mentioned.
Lukas gently gazed at him and rubbed his head. He remained quiet and looked for pajamas for Joey, then left the guestroom after.
Joey entered the room and looked around.
The decor was minimal, and the aesthetic matched Victors cold aura.
