"What does it have to do with you?" Blake Morgan was the first to reply.

"Grandpa is right. What does it have to do with you?" Alice also replied in the group.

Seeing their responses, Mason Morgan was speechless and could only send a series of question marks in the group to express his astonishment.

"Dad, although you have the final say in Alice's matters, and I trust your judgment, I should at least know what kind of man my daughter is going to marry, right? I'll find time to go over and take a look after a while. There are too many things going on here in Metropolis City at the moment. @Blake Morgan," after a long time, Mason Morgan sent another lengthy message.

"Do as you wish. It's not like you can change anything anyway," Blake Morgan said rather domineeringly.

"Dad, you're overthinking. It's only just beginning now!" Alice was obviously a bit exasperated too.

After replying, Alice put down her phone.

"Why aren't you eating yet?" At this moment, Joseph also came out from the kitchen. He placed the last dish on the table.

"Ah? I was waiting for you! I thought about it and felt it wasn't quite right to start eating alone," Alice was slightly stunned, then answered.

"Try it. No need to be so formal," Joseph picked up a piece of cheese steak for Alice, making her feel a sense of bliss.

"Thank you," Alice expressed her gratitude, then took a bite.

However, after just one bite, her expression changed, and she instantly froze.

"Um, how is it? Not tasty?" Joseph noticed Alice's unusual expression and asked.

However, Alice didn't answer. Instead, she picked up two more pieces and started eating.

"If it's not tasty, don't force yourself. Try something else?" Joseph blinked and suggested.

"Joseph, what are you saying? What do you mean by not tasty? It's too delicious! How can it be so delicious? This is the most delicious cheese steak I've ever eaten. It's simply too good."

"I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to eat first. It's too delicious," Alice couldn't wait to start eating. She was already a bit hungry, and with such delicacies in front of her, she found it even harder to control herself.

"This is delicious!"

"Oh, this is delicious too."

"This one, this one, even more delicious."

"Wow, this is the most delicious. It's too good."

As she ate, Alice kept praising Joseph endlessly.

Hearing this, Joseph felt a bit unreal. Was it really that delicious?

"Isn't this just an ordinary home-cooked meal? Is it really that delicious?" Joseph smiled awkwardly. Was this girl just teasing him?

"Joseph, you're being too humble. Whew, even the top chefs in my family can't make dishes as delicious as yours."

"Joseph, be more confident. You're really amazing and awesome," Alice continued to praise him while not stopping her hands from eating.

Joseph smiled and started eating too.

Alice ate more dishes, while Joseph ate more rice. Since childhood, Joseph had always had a huge appetite.

After about an hour, Alice was finally full. Although Joseph had a large appetite, he was already full at this point.

"If it's not enough, I can make more for you," Joseph noticed Alice's lingering desire for more.

"Ah? No, no. I can't eat anymore. Really can't eat anymore," Alice quickly responded.

She seemed to have been eating a bit like a wolf just now, not very ladylike. Would Joseph dislike her?

Thinking about this, Alice felt a bit uneasy.

"That's good then," Joseph smiled.

"Joseph, I don't usually eat so unladylike. Do you prefer gentler girls?" Alice asked tentatively.

"You just need to be the way you like. It doesn't matter what kind of girls I like," Joseph chuckled.

"How can that be? That's too casual," Alice shook her head.

"Then let me put it another way. I like all your ways," Joseph said with a smile.

"Ah? Are you serious?" When Joseph said this, Alice's pretty face instantly turned red. She turned around and fled back to her room.

Joseph watched Alice's departing figure and just laughed. She was already eighteen years old, yet still like a child.

After Alice left, Joseph began to clean up.

Back in her room, it took a long time for Alice's burning heart to cool down.

"So, Joseph likes me too. Does that mean we have mutual feelings?" Alice lay on the bed, hugging her big plush doll, talking to herself.

Suddenly, she thought of something, grabbed her phone, dialed Blake Morgan's number, and called.

Before long, the call was answered.

"Hello, Alice. How is it going? Have you arranged everything?" Blake Morgan's voice came from the other end of the line.

"Of course. It's not a difficult task. I've settled Joseph in," Alice replied.

"So, what's the matter? Calling grandpa so late?" Blake Morgan asked again.

"There's nothing in particular. I just wanted to tell you that Joseph's cooking skills are really good, much better than those top chefs in our family," Alice couldn't stop praising Joseph's culinary skills.

"Hahaha... Is that so? Now I want to taste it even more."

"However, I can't fully trust your opinion on it being delicious because, in the eyes of someone you love, even their flaws are virtues," Blake Morgan couldn't help but tease.

"What do you mean by 'someone you love'? My relationship with Joseph is not certain yet!" Alice said this, but her heart was happy.

"I remember three years ago, when Joseph married into the Cooper family, someone in our family hid and cried for a day and night, with swollen eyes."

"She even said Joseph Wilson had promised to marry her and that Joseph wasn't a man of his word," Blake Morgan teased again.

"Grandpa, you... Always teasing people. I won't talk to you anymore," Alice's pretty face turned slightly red, unable to keep a straight face. After exchanging a few pleasantries with Blake Morgan, she hung up the phone.

After hanging up, Alice opened F******k and found that her update had exploded with 99 comments.

Moreover, when she opened it, she saw that all 99 comments on the update were from the food photos she had just posted, mostly from boys.

"Alice, who is this man? He's not your boyfriend, is he?"

"Alice, are you in a relationship? Which family's young master is this?"

"Joseph? Who is Joseph?"

"Fuck, if he becomes your boyfriend, I'll kill him..."

"Hehe... Don't let me see this guy in Nova City. Every time I see him, I'll beat him up twice..."

Alice read the comments for a while. They were all a mess.

    Left with little choice, Joseph headed ahead to the reserved suite.“Old Howard, what’s the background of this Mr. Joseph?”After Joseph left, the receptionist asked cautiously.“Joseph Wilson—you’ve seen him online, haven’t you? A star lecturer at Nova University, a researcher.”Manager Howard replied.“That’s not what I mean. We get plenty of notable guests here, but why is he treated so differently?”The receptionist’s curiosity was piqued.“Didn’t you hear what I said just now? He’s someone the young lady personally instructed us to take good care of.”Howard said, with a knowing air.“The young lady?”The receptionist was puzzled. She had heard the term several times, but had no idea who it referred to.“This hotel belongs to the Morgan Group. The ‘young lady’ I’m talking about is the eldest daughter of the Morgan family.”“The Morgan family’s eldest daughter—that’s the future head of the Morgan Group.”“And this Mr. Joseph is someone Miss Alice repeatedly emphasized we must look

    A few minutes later, Joseph felt a heavy pressure against his back as the plane lifted smoothly into the air.Before long, he drifted into a deep sleep.There were other passengers beside him, but seated in first class by the window, he was left undisturbed.He slept for quite a while during the flight—if not for the cabin service waking him, he might have slept the entire way.To be honest, after everything that had happened the night before, he hadn’t gotten much rest.Heidi had been no different. After all that drinking—and everything that followed—how could she have slept well?Alcohol is pleasant while you’re drinking it, but afterward, it becomes its own kind of torment.Better to drink less in the future—it takes a toll on the body.After waking, Joseph dozed a little longer.In what felt like the blink of an eye, nearly four hours had passed.Soon, he felt a subtle sense of weightlessness again—the plane was descending.A little over ten minutes later, the aircraft landed at S

    "Oh, her? She had a bit to eat and then left."Mason Alvarez replied leisurely."Left?"Joseph was taken aback."Heidi wasn’t feeling very well."Alice added."Not feeling well?"Joseph froze for a moment, a flicker of unease rising within him."Just a bit unwell. She said she was bitten by a giant snake last night."Mason said matter-of-factly.At that, Joseph’s face darkened with silent exasperation. Bitten by a giant snake? The implication was impossible to miss.Professor Alvarez certainly had a way with words."Alright, alright—Joseph, hurry and eat. Your flight’s at ten; we need to leave by eight-thirty at the latest.""The old woman and I will take you to the airport."Seeing his embarrassment, Alice quickly changed the subject."Ahem… let’s eat."Joseph cleared his throat and focused on breakfast, speaking as little as possible, as though he had something to hide.Afterward, he packed up briefly. There wasn’t much to prepare—he was ready to go."Professor Wilson, we all drank

    After a moment of intimate closeness, the girl in Joseph’s arms slowly turned around and, of her own accord, pressed her lips to his.At the very least, that boldness felt unmistakably like Professor Alvarez.Sensing her response, Joseph’s restraint dissolved. Before long, the two of them stood bare before each other.What followed was a tempest—fierce, unrestrained, and drawn out far into the night.Only after everything had run its course, after release had finally come, did Joseph sink into a deep, heavy sleep.Some time later—he could not tell how long—Joseph stirred awake, parched from the alcohol he had consumed.As he opened his eyes, he noticed the soft glow of a bedside lamp illuminating the room. Beside him lay a girl, her skin pale as porcelain, her figure exquisitely graceful.She faced away from him, her features hidden from his view.Joseph glanced at the smooth curve of her bare back, then down at himself—and a sudden unease gripped him.The person beside him… was not M

    "It’s because you never get drunk—no matter how much you drink. The ones who end up drunk are the rest of us."Mason Alvarez complained."That’s because I have my own ways of keeping myself from getting drunk. As long as I don’t want to be, I won’t be.""In truth, my tolerance is only slightly better than the average person’s.""I studied medicine, so I know a few tricks that help me stay sober."Joseph explained."Wow, brother-in-law, that’s no fun at all. That’s hardly fair!"Heidi exclaimed, slipping back into the habit of calling Joseph that.Hearing his explanation, she suddenly recalled those late-night outings they’d had before—how she would always end up drunk, while Joseph seemed completely unaffected.So Professor Wilson had methods to keep himself from intoxication all along."Exactly. Professor Wilson, you’re leaving tomorrow—can’t you just drink freely with the three of us tonight?"Mason urged."Well… alright."Joseph hesitated for a moment, then agreed."But I really ca

    "It’s not impossible, but I’d have to go through my father—he might have a way.""Still, we may be short on time."Alice pondered the matter carefully."Ahem… whether it’s cold weapons or firearms, I already have what I need."Joseph cleared his throat lightly."You really do?"Alice looked unconvinced."Of course. For me, acquiring a few means of self-defense is hardly difficult."Joseph replied with quiet certainty."Alright, then."Alice chose to believe him; Joseph wasn’t the kind of person who would lie to her."Don’t worry so much, you little thing.""With Professor Wilson’s strength, he’s as fierce as any predator.""In those deep mountains, wolves and tigers aren’t the real threats—he is.""Any beast that sees him would think twice and steer clear."Mason Alvarez spoke with careless confidence."No matter how strong a person is, it’s not the same as facing wild animals."Alice countered."Relax. No beast is going to harm me. You’re underestimating me."Joseph said with an easy
