"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.

    The woman lying in the bed was none other than Fiona.At that moment, she was sleeping peacefully. Joseph’s stamina was far beyond that of any ordinary man; how could a delicate woman like her possibly withstand it?So from last night until now, she had remained in a deep sleep, and Joseph had not disturbed her.In the end, things had still come to this step. Joseph’s heart was filled with mixed emotions.Bzzz. Bzzz.Just then, the vibration of his phone interrupted his thoughts.Joseph stubbed out the cigarette in his hand, picked up the phone, glanced at the screen, and saw that it was Neil Foster calling. He answered at once."Young master, it’s begun on the eastern coast.""According to the intelligence on my end, Dreadmoor launched an attack on the eastern coast at one in the morning. It was an undeclared assault.""Right now, Nolan Bennett’s forces are resisting with everything they have."Neil Foster’s voice came from the other end of the line."So it’s finally come?""Where ar

    "A little sleepy, yes—but even more than that, I want to talk to you.""It feels as though we’ve hardly ever been alone like this."Fiona spoke slowly, her voice quiet and unhurried."We were never truly husband and wife. If not for these special circumstances, how could we possibly be alone together like this?"Joseph replied."That’s true."At his words, Fiona seemed to fall briefly into disappointment."Get some rest. It’s late."With that, Joseph closed his eyes."Mm."Fiona answered softly and closed her eyes as well.After that, Joseph said nothing more, and Fiona fell silent too.Joseph assumed Fiona had finally drifted off.After taking his medicine, drowsiness was only natural. The fact that Fiona had managed to stay awake this long was already no small thing.Thinking that, Joseph closed his eyes again and prepared to sleep.But after a while, he caught the faint drift of her fragrance in the dark, and then felt her arms gently wrap around him. At once, his whole body turned

    "It’s fine. Staying here with you isn’t exactly hard work.""Go on—drink the medicine."Joseph handed it to her. It had been kept in a thermal flask and was still pleasantly warm.He poured some into a bowl and brought it to Fiona."All right."Fiona lowered her head and took a sip from the medicine Joseph offered her.It was warm going down, with a faintly spicy note on the tongue. All in all, it tasted surprisingly decent.It did not look especially appealing, but the flavor was far better than its appearance suggested."After you finish this, for the next three hours or so, you’ll need to use the restroom frequently."Joseph said to Fiona."Only three hours?"Fiona sounded a little surprised."Roughly three hours."Joseph confirmed."Then that’s not too bad."Fiona’s expression was calm as she continued drinking."This medicine won’t cure the root of your condition, but it will ease the symptoms. After a full night’s sleep, you should feel much better by tomorrow morning."Joseph a

    "It was about her sister’s condition, and the treatment. Everything that should have been said—and everything that shouldn’t—she told us all of it."Mason Alvarez said this carelessly as she munched on a pastry."Joseph, she’s your most capable right hand now. If she could become one of us, it would be of immense benefit to you.""You have so many businesses, and all this time they’ve been under the control of someone who is, technically, still an outsider. If one day she were to marry someone else, would you truly be at ease?""And besides, Joseph, you did once have a strong prejudice against her. But after working together and spending time together these days, surely both of you have realized that neither of you is as bad as the other once imagined.""I think the so-called illness of the heart she’s suffering from is precisely this. Without the proper remedy, I’m afraid this condition of hers will never truly heal.""And don’t doubt what I’m saying. No one understands a woman bette

    "It’s nothing serious. Just a minor issue."Thinking of her conversation with Joseph moments earlier, Fiona found the subject strangely hard to voice."A minor issue? What kind of issue?""Is it really that private? You can’t even tell me? We’re both women—what is there you can’t say?""Come on, just tell me. Maybe I can help you figure it out."Heidi spoke with unmistakable enthusiasm."Joseph said... it’s emotional distress. A blockage of the vital flow."Fiona gave a light cough."And? That’s supposed to be private?"Heidi pressed on relentlessly."That’s all. That’s what he said."A faint blush rose to Fiona’s lovely face. She clearly did not want to continue."Then how is it supposed to be treated?""Seriously, what kind of emotional distress do you even have?"Heidi’s curiosity only grew."He only said it was emotional. He didn’t say what kind. How would I know?"Fiona shot back."If it’s emotional, and he doesn’t know, then you definitely do."Heidi wore the look of someone who

    The moment Fiona asked that question, she immediately felt she had said something wrong.“Ah… is it that fast? I’ve already been examining you for quite a while.”Joseph paused, slightly taken aback.“I… that’s not what I meant.”Fiona lowered her head, her cheeks flushed.“Then what did you mean?”Joseph looked at her, puzzled.Something about her felt off today—strangely so.“I… did you find anything? Is there something wrong with me beyond exhaustion?”Flustered, Fiona hurriedly changed the subject.“If it were only exhaustion, would it have come to this?”“Of course, there are other issues.”“Not particularly severe—but not insignificant either.”Joseph said calmly as he began putting away his instruments.“Then what is it?”Fiona asked, unable to hide her urgency.“Do you have a boyfriend?”Joseph countered.“A boyfriend?”“How could I possibly have a boyfriend?”“I only have you as my former husband. I’ve never dated anyone.”“And besides, I’m always busy.”Fiona replied quickly
