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.

“As for that… I’m not entirely sure myself.”“Let’s put it this way—they’re using an academic symposium as a pretext. You understand what I mean, don’t you?”Geoffrey Harris said tactfully.“They want to discuss… other academic matters with me?”Joseph began to grasp the implication.“Yes, exactly.”“Some things aren’t convenient to say outright—we both understand well enough.”“As for the specifics, Professor Gerald Ortiz will explain them to you. It’s not something I can discuss on my end.”“I called to let you know that I’ve already agreed to it. What comes next will depend on you.”Geoffrey Harris continued.“Thank you, Principal. I understand.”Joseph expressed his gratitude.“Mr. Wilson, you’re being too polite.”“At first, we didn’t know who you truly were. Now that we do, Nova University will stand firmly behind you.”“Our institution has always placed the nation’s interests above all else. Your mentor, General Eugene Wilson, is a pillar of this country. He deserves greater su

“You’re trying to kill me, aren’t you? Who told you to put me through that—hmph!”Heidi huffed indignantly.“Alright, time to get up.”Joseph glanced at the time and spoke calmly.“You go first. Check what it’s like outside, then I’ll come out.”A hint of shyness colored Heidi’s voice.“Didn’t you say you’d already talked it through with them?”Joseph asked.“We did talk it through, but it’s still embarrassing. You think I’m like you, with skin thick as armor?”Heidi retorted with a coquettish snort.“Think about what happened last night—between the two of us, who’s really the shameless one?”Joseph was at a loss for words. Women, as a species, truly excel at turning the tables.“Oh, get lost. It’s you—you’re the shameless one.”“Come on, hurry up. You’re so annoying. You go out first.”Heidi pleaded.“Fine, I’ll go.”Left with no choice, Joseph got dressed and stepped out.At that hour, Alice and Mason Alvarez didn’t seem to be awake yet.During the holiday break, sleeping in a littl

“No need. I’ll see myself out.”Joseph declined politely.Even so, Brian Adams insisted on accompanying him.After leaving the Night Rose Nightclub, Joseph headed straight home.Though the meeting itself had been brief, the journey had taken up most of the time.By the time he returned, it was already past ten.Alice, Mason Alvarez, and Heidi were nowhere to be seen in the living room. Under normal circumstances, they wouldn’t have gone to bed this early.Joseph found it a little odd, but assumed they were each in their own rooms.He poured himself a glass of water and took a sip.At last, the day’s affairs had come to an end.For the first time, he could finally pause and rest.After a quick wash, Joseph returned to his room.The moment he switched on the light, he froze.There was a woman lying on his bed.It was Heidi.She appeared to be asleep, and Joseph felt a twinge of helpless amusement.This girl was truly bold.“Heidi?”He called softly.“Mm? What is it?”She opened her eyes

“According to my master’s letter, Dale Jimenez is not our enemy—he’s one of us.”“He’s a piece my master placed on the board.”Joseph explained.“What?”Neil Foster and Brian Adams shot to their feet at the same time, stunned.“At first, I found it unbelievable as well. But the brilliance of my master’s designs is beyond our imagination.”“Even in those circumstances, he still managed to set something like this in motion.”Joseph said, not without admiration.“Dale Jimenez is one of our own.”“This move strikes directly at the lifeblood of the three elders of the Central Council.”“After all, Dale Jimenez was the very man they elevated—firmly seated for years as the commander of the Southern Frontier.”“Those three old fools in the Central Council would never have imagined that the man they so carefully selected was, in fact, the general’s.”Neil Foster said with a sigh. Extraordinary men accomplished extraordinary things—this was precisely why they had chosen to follow Eugene Wilson.

“Whether I’ve been worn out or not—you would know, wouldn’t you?”Joseph shot back.“For now, maybe not. But who can say about the future?”“Isn’t there a saying? The field never gets worn out—only the ox does.”Heidi replied, looking quite pleased with her own wisdom.“I didn’t realize you knew so much.”Joseph gave a wry smile.“Of course I do. I may not have had a boyfriend before, but just because I haven’t tasted pork doesn’t mean I haven’t seen pigs run.”She lifted her chin slightly, a hint of playful pride in her tone.“So, have you tasted pork now?”Joseph asked.“Heh… what do you think?”Heidi smiled slyly, her meaning unmistakable.Joseph could only shake his head. These three women—each one more beguiling than the last.“By the way, what would you like for dinner tonight? I’ll cook for you.”Heidi said.“You? Cooking yourself?”Joseph raised a brow, surprised.“Of course. I adore you, don’t I? You’ve just come back from such a long journey—I’ll make you a proper meal.”She

“Of course. It’s still early.”Joseph said with a smile, glancing at the time.The three of them chatted and laughed along the way, and before long, they arrived home.“Professor Wilson, you rest for a bit. The kid and I will head out to buy groceries.”As soon as they got in, Mason Alvarez said to Joseph.“Why not buy them on the way back?”Joseph asked, puzzled. They used to pick things up on their commute.“Because we didn’t want you getting worn out. We wanted to get you home as quickly as possible so you could rest.”Mason replied matter-of-factly.“Alright then.”Joseph scratched his head.“We’ll be back soon. Stay in and relax.”With that, Mason headed out first.At that moment, Alice came out of her room.“Joseph, I’m heading out. Wait for us at home, okay?”As she spoke, she leaned in and stole a quick kiss from his lips.In that fleeting closeness, the intoxicating fragrance of her lingered in the air, leaving Joseph momentarily dazed.This girl—after just a few days apart,
