"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.

    At Morales’s challenge, those behind him lowered their heads, faces tight with embarrassment.They couldn’t do it; if they could, Joseph wouldn’t be needed.For a moment, no one had an answer for the deputy director’s barbed remarks.“Deputy Director Morales, there’s always a higher peak,” one expert said at last. “We may not be able to, but we believe in this young Professor Wilson. His ability is beyond dispute.”“Exactly. Just because we can’t doesn’t mean no one can. The world needs those who dare to push the frontier—and Professor Wilson is one of them.”“Well said. To be boldly prudent—worthy of praise.”The murmurs swelled. Morales’s tone had always grated. Even the mildest among them couldn’t help but push back now.“Deputy Director, the patient and Professor Wilson have both chosen to proceed,” said a suited administrator in a measured, authoritative voice. “Let’s watch and see.”Morales fell silent, though his expression showed he remained unconvinced.On the screen, Joseph’

    “Because he’s a doctor,” Charles Martin said at last, after a long silence.“You’re a doctor too. Everyone here is. What makes him different?” Peggy asked, still puzzled.“Joseph is a true physician. He treats medicine as a calling and holds ethics as the heart of a doctor’s character,” Charles replied. “He won’t let personal grievances with me make him hold back on your care.”Hearing that, Peggy managed a wan smile. “If even his rival respects him, that says it all. Professor Wilson must be a good man.”“More or less,” Charles said with a nod.“Peggy, your surgery starts at two. We’ll take you to prep now,” a head nurse announced as she entered, glancing over Peggy with a steady, professional calm. “It’s going to be a long operation. Is there anything you need to do first?”“I’m ready,” Peggy answered. “From here on, I’ll follow your lead.”At her word, the head nurse signaled several nurses to wheel Peggy’s bed out. Charles followed close behind.Meanwhile, Joseph was already in th

    Before long, the group filed into the elevator.Exiting on the ward floor, they followed Dr. Forrest to Peggy’s room.By now Peggy had been transferred to a standard ward, shared with two other patients.When Joseph and the others entered, the two patients and their families could only stare, stunned.Anyone who came to Nova First Hospital had some sense of which doctors carried real weight—who among them were nationally renowned.And the team trailing behind Joseph today was practically a roll call of the most respected orthopedic specialists at Nova First Hospital. It was an impressive lineup by any measure.Yet all these luminaries were clustered behind a young man named Joseph, and that alone spoke volumes about his standing.Peggy, lying in her bed, was equally taken aback. Had something dire happened to her? Why else would so many doctors show up?What’s more, most of them looked seasoned and formidable—exactly the sort of elder physicians called in for thorny cases.But the one

    Stunned by the sudden kiss, Joseph stood rooted to the spot, watching Heidi walk away with a vacant gaze. It was a long while before he came back to himself.He touched the spot on his cheek where her lips had brushed, a faint, rueful smile tugging at his mouth.Some things truly lay beyond his control. His relationship with Heidi, by the looks of it, was drifting toward a place he couldn’t steer.And from the way Heidi had interacted with Mason Alvarez and Alice these last two times, they clearly had reached some sort of understanding among themselves.After lingering in a daze for a moment, Joseph finally returned to the villa.The next day, just after eleven, he headed out after lunch to pick up Lindsay Anderson.Peggy’s surgery was not a simple procedure.Even a straightforward operation required advance preparation at the hospital.He had reminded Lindsay Anderson and Fiona of this the day before.When Joseph arrived downstairs at Lindsay Anderson’s building, she came down almost

    “How could I not bring you?” Joseph shot back, eyeing the way Mason Alvarez clung to him. Was she just looking for excuses to take advantage of him?“Then we’re good. I’m free these days anyway—and you know me: busy or not, I’m with you.” Mason was in high spirits.“Let’s set it for the day after tomorrow.” Joseph said, and promptly replied to Toby Dristan.“By the way, I wonder what’s going on with him and Pauline Alvarez. Did they really break up?” Mason’s gossip radar lit up. She looped her arms around Joseph’s neck and slid into his lap. Her delicate frame settled against him, a heady fragrance rising from her skin.With a figure like hers, even just holding her felt dangerously pleasant. Joseph felt his pulse stir.“Hey, you rogue—what are you spacing out for? Plotting some mischief again?” Mason pouted, feigning a scold.“Ahem, no.” “Why do you care so much about them?” “Don’t tell me you don’t want them breaking up?” Joseph pulled himself together.“Yes and no.

    “Huh? Nothing—really, nothing! You misheard.” “Joseph, how do you walk without making a sound?” “Um… brother-in-law, dinner’s ready!”Joseph’s sudden voice caught the three women off guard. They straightened at once, all poise and innocence, trying a bit too hard to look proper.Watching them, Joseph felt something was off. When he’d come in, they’d clearly been chatting up a storm. The noise had muddled the words, but he’d heard plenty of laughter.“It’s not that I walk silently—it’s that you were making such a racket. I thought you were discussing something fascinating.” He spoke as he toed off his shoes.“Nope! Dinner—let’s eat. I’ll grab the bowls and chopsticks.” Alice bolted for the kitchen.“I’ll help.” Heidi scampered after her.“I’ll help too.” Mason Alvarez rose to follow.“Stop right there.” Joseph’s voice halted Mason mid-step.“What exactly are you helping with? Since when are you so industrious?” He gave her a bemused look. She was usually the last to lif
