"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.

“Huh? You want me to order?” Lindsay Anderson froze for a moment, at a loss.“Maybe not. Mr. Wilson, why don’t you pick? I’m easy—really, I’m not picky.” After a brief hesitation, Lindsay shook her head and gently declined.“All right then, I’ll just choose a few things.” Unable to persuade her, Joseph relented and began ordering.He selected a handful of dishes and then passed the menu to Fiona. “Fiona, I’ve picked a few at random. See if there’s anything else we should add.” It was her treat today, after all; he wanted to defer to the host.“Sure, I’ll add a couple more.” Fiona responded with easy poise.She ordered several house specialties, and only then did they place the final order.Sitting opposite Fiona, Lindsay glanced at her once or twice without quite meaning to, quietly marveling at how striking Fiona was. In poise, features, and figure, she was exceptional—an undeniable beauty.How is it that there are always so many beautiful women around Mr. Wilson? It was

“Why can’t it be me?” Alice grinned impishly, teasing in every line of her smile.“What are you doing in here?” Mason Alvarez was speechless. She was usually bold and brash, but just then, embarrassment crept in.“I’m here to drag you to breakfast, what else? Up you get, or I’m yanking off your blanket.” Alice threatened cheerfully.“Fine, fine, I’m getting up. Now get out so I can change.” A faint blush warmed Mason Alvarez’s cheeks.“Hehe, I’ll spare you this time. Hurry up.” Satisfied at having flustered Mason Alvarez, Alice bounced out and even shut the door behind her.“Joseph, I want this one—the biggest meat bun.” Moments later, Alice was the first at the table.“They’re all yours,” Joseph said casually.“Really? Hehe!” Alice beamed, clearly delighted by his answer.A few minutes later, Mason Alvarez emerged and immediately seized Alice’s cheeks in one hand.“Hey—what are you doing? That hurts!” Alice yelped.“You were trying to embarrass me on purpose, weren’t

“Let’s go to Supreme Teahouse—a tea house that’s usually quiet. We can have lunch and then sit over tea and talk things through,” Fiona said after a moment’s thought.“Supreme Teahouse it is,” Joseph agreed at once.“Professor Wilson, let me handle the arrangements. Lunch is on me,” Fiona added.“That’s really not necessary,” Joseph said, a touch embarrassed.“Nonsense. You’re doing all this to help me. It’s just one meal. I’m covering the medical costs too—what’s a lunch compared to that?” Fiona said, generous to a fault.“Alright. Keep it simple—nothing extravagant,” Joseph reminded her.“I know where to draw the line. Don’t worry,” she replied.“I’ll send over the patient’s file in a minute—the digital version. Go over it when you have time, and tomorrow I’ll walk you through everything properly,” Joseph said.“Okay. Send it over and I’ll take a look,” Fiona nodded.With that, they hung up.Joseph immediately forwarded the file to Fiona, then sent a copy to Lindsay Anderson, giving

“It’s Heidi? What does she want with me?”Seeing the caller ID, Alice murmured to herself.“Answer it and ask. What a concept,” Mason Alvarez drawled from the sofa.“Hi, Heidi! Good evening!” Alice picked up.“Alice, are you two free tomorrow?” Heidi asked.“Sure. Why wouldn’t we be? It’s the holidays—we’re just lazing around at home with nothing to do.”“And the old lady is here with me. She pops into the hospital now and then, but otherwise she’s free too.”“What’s up, Heidi? Got plans?” Alice replied as if it were the most natural thing in the world.“Hey, my brother-in-law is meeting with his students tomorrow to go over a surgery. My sister won’t let me tag along and bother him. Can I come over to your place and mooch a meal?”“Absolutely! We’re bored out of our minds when it’s just the two of us, and if Joseph’s out tomorrow, it’ll be even duller. One more person makes it livelier.”Alice agreed without a moment’s hesitation. She was quiet around strangers, but among her own, sh

“All you think about every day is eating, eating, eating.”Fiona shot Heidi a withering look.“Isn’t eating the first order of life? What’s wrong with liking food?”Heidi retorted, stubborn as ever, then dug back in with renewed vigor.It took them about an hour to finish. At last, the three of them were full and pleasantly tipsy.After resting a bit, Joseph parted ways with Heidi and Fiona and headed home.Fiona took Heidi back to the Cooper family estate.Sated and drowsy, Heidi was in excellent spirits. Sitting in the passenger seat, she even started humming a little tune.“Your mood is a little too good,” Fiona said, glancing over while driving.“What, if I’m in a bad mood I’m supposed to cry?”“Mom and Dad got themselves into this. I didn’t push them. They’re not children—there should be some sense of proportion.”“Like Grandpa said, they need to be taught a lesson. If Grandpa and Grandma couldn’t teach them, then the law will.”Heidi spoke as if it were the most natural conclusi

“Dinner, of course. Filling your stomach isn’t important?” Heidi said as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. “Only when you’ve eaten can you tackle everything else, right?”“I suppose that’s true,” Joseph replied, checking the time. It was past seven—definitely dinner hour.“Professor Wilson, come on—I’ll host tonight. What do you two want to eat?” Fiona offered immediately.“I want barbecue. How about Usual Place, the spot my brother-in-law and I always go to?” Heidi said without an ounce of restraint.“I’m easy,” Joseph said.“Then let’s go there. I don’t know the way, though,” Fiona admitted.“I’ll sit up front and guide you—or we can have my brother-in-law lead the way,” Heidi suggested.“Works for me. Let’s head out now,” Fiona nodded.“Let’s go! It’s close—ten minutes by car,” Heidi said, already hopping into the vehicle.Joseph got into his own car and followed.A short drive later, the three of them walked into Usual Place Barbecue.“Buddy! Long time no see,” the o
