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.

“Yes, General!”“In respectful submission to the distinguished commanders of the Southern Frontier, and to our brothers in arms there: the eight coastal provinces have jointly declared their withdrawal from the control of the Central Council.”“The Central Council has acted in utter defiance of reason and conscience, betraying the interests of our eight provinces and clinging to life through cowardly compromise. Such conduct is devoid of all decency and intolerable under heaven. The people of our eight coastal provinces understand their duty to defend their land and country. We swear to hold these provinces to the death and yield not one inch.”“In years past, General Eugene Wilson fought side by side with the people of our eight provinces. That bond of loyalty rises as high as the heavens themselves. Our people remain profoundly grateful and have never forgotten.”“Now the thieves and invaders have come once more. We pray that our brothers of the Southern Frontier will remember the b

“Oh, one more thing—the Young Marshal asked me to tell you this: under no circumstances are you to throw everything into mutual destruction. Hold your ground and do not sally out. Wait until the main force of the Southern Frontier Army arrives, and then we will crush the enemy in one overwhelming blow.”“At present, a great quantity of Southern Frontier military supplies has already been transported to the East Coast.”“The main force will follow in stages. All that remains is for the Young Marshal to execute the traitors and launch the counteroffensive against Dreadmoor.”Clifford Castillo added.“Good. Good!”“With the brothers of the Southern Frontier Army fighting beside us, Dreadmoor is finished!”“Come—let us speak inside.”Nolan Bennett made a welcoming gesture and led Clifford Castillo inward.Nova City, aboard the aircraft bound for the Southern Frontier.“Young Lord, we’ve just received word: the eight coastal provinces have issued a joint declaration rejecting the so-called

Outside the departure hall, the sight set the travelers talking at once.“That’s a heavy transport from the Southern Frontier Army. Why is it landing at Nova City International Airport?”“No idea. Maybe war is coming. Once war is near, military aircraft start appearing everywhere.”“Will the fighting reach Nova City?”“Nova City falls under the Southern Frontier Army’s jurisdiction. If war breaks out here, then the situation is far worse than people realize.”“That worthless Central Council has already handed the eight coastal provinces over to Dreadmoor. At this point, what is there left that couldn’t happen?”“Heh. The Central Council is nothing but a nest of traitors.”“...”Voices rose and overlapped on every side.Just then, armed soldiers disembarked from the massive transport plane and moved swiftly to secure every entrance and exit.At that same moment, a convoy pulled up outside the airport.Joseph stepped out of one of the vehicles, with Brian Adams and a retinue of attendan

“Old Gutierrez, what is it you want to say?”Vincent Murphy asked, baffled.Preston Gutierrez, however, paid him no heed. He merely lifted the microphone before him, then rose slowly to his feet.“I, Preston Gutierrez, do not recognize the terms of this agreement, and I refuse to sign it.”“I, Preston Gutierrez, come from generations of Elysian blood. I cannot understand the decision the Central Council has made. As of today, I resign my position as an Elder of the Central Council.”“The Gutierrez family will commit the full extent of its fortune to aiding the Elysian army in its counteroffensive against Dreadmoor and in the recovery of our lost lands.”Preston Gutierrez spoke in an even, measured voice, calm and unhurried.Yet to Vincent Murphy and Benson Cooper, those words struck like thunder from a clear sky.“Old Gutierrez... you?”Vincent Murphy was stunned into speechlessness.“Preston Gutierrez, no wonder every task entrusted to you these past years was met either with excuses

“No. Absolutely not.”The quartermaster answered at once.“These supplies are being delivered to us in secret by allied forces. This matter must not be allowed to spread.”“They launched military operations without orders. If they are exposed, the Central Council will never let them off. Do you understand what I mean?”Nolan Bennett warned him.“I do. I do, General, I do.”“Watching so many of our brothers die... I’m grieving too. They were my comrades—my brothers as well.”“If I were the sort to inform on them, then let heaven strike me down. And if I were to commit such a dishonorable act, the spirits of our fallen brothers would never forgive me.”The quartermaster was nearly in tears, his voice already thick with sobs.“Good. Now take me to where those ‘found’ supplies are being kept.”The quartermaster hurried ahead to lead the way.Before long, Nolan Bennett was brought to a warehouse, where a considerable stockpile of advanced weapons and equipment had been stacked inside.“The

“A ceasefire negotiation? Of course it can be called a ceasefire negotiation.”“That depends on what terms they reach. We won this campaign—we drove Dreadmoor off the East Coast.”“And since we won, then we negotiate as victors, and we demand the outcome due to victors.”Joseph’s expression remained calm, but his gaze was razor-sharp.“Then let us wait and see how they intend to conduct these talks.”Neil Foster said, his eyes lighting up.“Have our intelligence operatives—the entire intelligence network—monitor the negotiations closely.”“And inform Dale Jimenez to make ready.”Joseph addressed the room.“Yes, sir!”At his words, everyone answered in unison.East Coast, front line, inside a forward command post.Outside the command post, artillery thundered without pause. Corpses lay strewn everywhere—some their own, some the enemy’s.
