"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.

    “We can talk to her over breakfast later. After all, you’re right.”Joseph pondered for a moment before speaking.“Then I’ll go prepare something for you to eat. You should take a bath and relax a bit.”Seeing that Joseph didn’t seem to be in the best spirits, Alice said gently, with thoughtful concern.“I’m fine. My mental state isn’t affected.”“It’s just that I dreamed and sweated a lot.”“But I’m very clear about this—it’s not a physical issue.”“Generally speaking, people with a weak constitution tend to have nightmares and cold sweats, but what I had wasn’t a cold sweat.”Joseph shook his head.“As long as you’re fine, that’s all that matters. There’s no need to dwell on it—everything will fall into place naturally.”“Alright, let’s get up. After breakfast, we can go out for a walk.”Alice leaned in and kissed Joseph.After lingering for a while, the two finally got out of bed.Since he had sweated quite a bit, Joseph still went to the bathroom for a quick shower.After finishin

    “What I mean is, you’re already so sleepy—why didn’t you just go to bed? Why did you still come over?”Joseph sat down on the edge of the bed and explained.“I missed you. I want to sleep with you tonight.”Alice leaned in and said affectionately.Hearing this, Joseph reached out and turned off the light. In one smooth motion, he pressed Alice gently onto the bed and pulled the blanket over them.Breathing in the alluring fragrance of her body, Joseph found it hard to restrain himself. He instinctively lowered his head and kissed her soft, rosy lips. The exquisite sensation at his mouth nearly made him lose all reason.“Mmm?”“Joseph… what’s gotten into you tonight? Why are you in such a hurry?”Alice asked in confusion. Normally, Joseph was the composed one, while she was more proactive. Tonight, however, he seemed unusually impatient.“Because I feel like I’ve been too busy lately, and I haven’t spent enough time with you.”Joseph thought for a moment before answering.“You silly Jo

    “I just finished up. What’s going on?”Joseph replied.No sooner had he finished speaking than Mason Alvarez pushed the door open and slipped inside, looking rather furtive.“Professor Alvarez, what’s going on? Is something the matter?”Joseph asked, amused by her behavior.“Nothing serious. Did you get the meeting notice? The one for Wednesday.”Mason Alvarez took out her phone, opened her email, and showed it to Joseph.“I haven’t checked my inbox yet, but President Harris already called me. I’ll be attending the Wednesday meeting as well.”Joseph glanced at her screen and answered.“Of course you will. You’re the main event. The fact that the president personally called you means you’re crucial to this meeting.”Mason Alvarez said as if it were obvious.“That’s more or less how I see it too.”“The selection meeting for the management of Nova University’s Sixth Affiliated Hospital—President Harris has brought up the dean and vice-dean positions with me more than once.”Joseph smiled

    “Here’s the situation. The total cost of the surgery came to two hundred and thirty thousand dollars, but Professor Martin transferred one million dollars. After deducting the surgical expenses, there’s still over seven hundred thousand left.”“After some discussion, we decided to transfer that remaining amount to your account, Professor Wilson.”“After all, the success of this surgery is largely due to you. Please don’t refuse.”Dr. Forrest explained the entire matter in detail.“Did Professor Martin say how the excess money should be handled?”Joseph asked.“No. He simply transferred one million dollars. That’s all.”Dr. Forrest replied candidly.“If Professor Martin transferred one million to you, then technically, that money belongs to the hospital.”Joseph said plainly.“But you were the lead surgeon for this operation.”“And our hospital cannot accept excess fees. So in the end, this money can only be handled by you.”Dr. Forrest looked genuinely troubled.“I see…”Hearing this,

    “How about I make her steamed lobster—her absolute favorite?”Joseph thought for a moment and said.“A dinner made with love, huh?”“Either way is fine. You’ve grown up together—you know her better than anyone.”Mason Alvarez blinked her beautiful eyes and replied.“Then it’s settled.”Joseph nodded.After that, Joseph and Mason Alvarez first went to buy the lipstick Alice loved most. On the way home, Joseph stopped by a seafood market and carefully selected an especially large lobster.Once everything was prepared, the two of them finally headed home.By the time they arrived, it was already around four in the afternoon.At that moment, Alice was sprawled in the living room, binge-watching a drama while munching noisily on snacks.“Joseph, you’re back!”Seeing him, Alice immediately put down her tablet and hurried over to him.“What did you buy?”She stared at the bags in his hands with childlike curiosity, rummaging through them like an overly inquisitive kid.“They’re ingredients.
