2024-09-12 22:54:31"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.

“I think… there was only one?”“It’s been so long, I honestly don’t remember.”“But I’m certain my mom told me they came as a pair!”Lillian Morvek said, her tone uncertain.Heidi fell into deep thought.Which meant that when Lillian was seven and she herself was eight, the other bell had already been lost—and that lost bell had somehow ended up in Joseph’s hands.In other words, she must have met Joseph before she turned eight.More than a decade had passed since then.She had only been a child—whatever she did back then would have been pure instinct.No wonder she couldn’t remember.No wonder the first time Joseph came to her house, she had felt an inexplicable warmth toward him, a strange and undeniable familiarity.Of course.Of course.As the realization settled in, everything became clear.The little girl Joseph had been searching for all these years—was her.It had been her all along.“What’s wrong with you? Why are you staring into space like that?”Lillian asked, puzzled.“T

“It’s nothing expensive—just a few little trinkets.”Lillian Morvek said this with a bright, playful smile.“Tsk, tsk. Why did you bring him a gift but not me?”Heidi looked thoroughly perplexed.“I did bring you something! The lipstick, remember? It cost me over five hundred!”Lillian gestured emphatically, her face full of mock heartbreak.Her family circumstances were nowhere near as affluent as Heidi’s. When it came to allowance money, she simply couldn’t compare.The Morveks were an ordinary family with a modest business—comfortable, perhaps, but nothing remarkable. Compared to the Cooper family, they were worlds apart. It was precisely for this reason that Maria Long had always looked down on them.“Oh, right. I almost forgot.”Heidi blinked, suddenly remembering.“You really are my favorite cousin.”With that, she threw her arms around Lillian.“Hey—can’t breathe—I'm dying!”Lillian struggled dramatically, and within seconds the two of them were wrestling and laughing like chil

“Joseph, don’t spoil her. She’s always up to some mischief.”Nicole Hayes shot Lillian Morvek an exasperated look. Lillian stuck out her tongue and pulled a face in response.“It’s all right. I’ll handle it.”“It’s not often we get together—let’s make it worthwhile. You can judge my skills for yourselves.”Joseph said with a smile, already rolling up his sleeves.“Joseph, you’ve always indulged them. Even back in Nova City, whatever those two asked for, you agreed without hesitation.”“No wonder they’re forever clinging to you.”Jaden Morvek shook his head in mild reproach.“Indulging them? They’re grown women, not children.”Joseph replied lightly, tending to the grill with practiced ease.Before long, the first batch of meat was ready. The private room filled with the rich aroma of sizzling barbecue. Fat crackled on the grill, glistening under the heat—an irresistible sight.“Wow. That smells incredible!”Lillian exclaimed.“Well? My brother-in-law’s culinary skills are still unpara

“Isn’t that so? He really does look far more spirited than before—positively transformed into a dashing young man.”Jaden Morvek chimed in with a grin.“You’re both exaggerating.”Joseph replied with an easy laugh.“Dad, Mom, my cousin-in-law is now a star professor at Nova University. Of course he’s different from before.”Lillian Morvek added proudly.“Have you ordered yet? Let me treat this meal. It’s been quite some time since I’ve seen you both.”Joseph took his seat, smiling warmly.“Oh no, no. Your uncle and I are hosting today. We invited you—it wouldn’t do to have you pay.”Nicole Hayes waved her hands hurriedly in protest.“Oh, Aunt, just let him treat us. He’s a celebrated professor at Nova University now. Even earning a hundred thousand a month would be modest for him. What’s one meal?”Heidi said with a mischievous smile.“That impressive? A hundred thousand a month? That’s over a million a year. How remarkable—how accomplished!”Nicole Hayes exclaimed in admiration.“You

“I wouldn’t call it remarkable. I’ve merely dabbled in the field.”Joseph replied with modest composure.“You’re far too humble, Professor Wilson.”“There are aspects of this drug we still haven’t fully unraveled—the precise ratios of its components, the interactions between them, the exact mechanisms at work in clinical application. We’ve only grasped the essentials through your research report.”“To put it plainly, we’ve simply followed your blueprint. There’s little technical brilliance in imitation. The real mastery was already accomplished by you.”A young scholar spoke up. Though described as young, he was still a few years older than Joseph.“That’s right. In this project, we’ve merely handled the peripheral tasks.”“Even so, to assist in work initiated by Professor Wilson is an honor in itself. We’ve learned a great deal.”Professor Sanders said with heartfelt admiration.“Have you encountered any significant difficulties in extraction or purification?”Joseph, having listened

There was no denying it—Joseph was now a veritable mountain of gold. To scrape even a handful of glittering dust from that mountain was, for them, a rare stroke of fortune.Yet that mountain had once been meant for the Cooper family. Joseph had been personally chosen by the old chairman as Fiona’s husband. In other words, all that brilliance had once stood within their grasp.Now, after the divorce, the best they could hope for was to bask faintly in his reflected light.Still, to benefit at all was a blessing amid misfortune.Most of them were aware that the divorce had not been Fiona’s doing alone. The greater push had come from her parents, Stephen Cooper and Maria Long.Under the present circumstances, they could scarcely contain their resentment toward the couple.To drive away a mountain of gold with their own hands.“Gentlemen.”Joseph greeted them with a mild, composed smile.“Oh, please—if our former young master is willing to leave us even a morsel to eat, that is grace enou
