"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 Eugene Wilson’s disciple, Joseph’s capabilities spoke for themselves.Dragging back a wild boar weighing several hundred pounds single-handedly was no feat an ordinary person could accomplish.To regard Joseph as anything ordinary would be a grave misjudgment.Within the bounds of Mystic Medical Valley, the environment was not only rich with game in the mountains, but its rivers and lakes teemed with plump fish and shellfish.Joseph spent the entire afternoon wandering along nearby rivers and lakes with the children. When they returned, they carried two baskets brimming with fish, along with shrimp, turtles, and an assortment of freshwater delicacies.Once again, Joseph left everyone in awe.His abundant harvest not only gave the children a feast to remember, but also treated the entire village to a rare bounty.By evening, every household brought out their finest dishes and best wine to share. The atmosphere was lively and filled with laughter.Unsurprisingly, Kim Frederick broke

    “It’s good that you can see it that way.”“Your master didn’t leave behind much. I’ve given you everything.”“As for Seventeen—he’s safest with me. To put it bluntly, even if you fail in your greater pursuits, the Wilson family will still have his bloodline.”“I’ll raise him well and see that he carries on your legacy.”Kim Frederick continued.“Alright.”Joseph let out a quiet breath.“Sir, give me a moment.”Joseph suddenly rose and headed to his room.Before long, he returned with several items in hand.“This is the Dragon Seal my master left behind. I’ll leave it with you.”“And here’s some cash—not much, just a few tens of thousands. Keep it as well, for your daily expenses.”As he spoke, Joseph handed the Dragon Seal to Kim Frederick and set the cash on the table.“I’ll keep the Dragon Seal. After all, it’s something your master left—it serves as a keepsake.”“But the money, I must decline.”“I have many disciples, and they’ve all done quite well for themselves outside. Over the

    “Shall we heat up the remaining dishes and meat and have another drink?”Kim Frederick asked tentatively.“If you’re in the mood, sir, I’ll gladly join you.”Joseph replied, already moving to prepare a few dishes to accompany the wine.“Nicole, bring out my wine.”The old man called toward the house.“Master, you’re drinking again?”Nicole Kim’s reluctant voice came from inside.“It’s a rare occasion—your Uncle Wilson is here. Let your master indulge for just one more night.”There was a hint of pleading in Kim Frederick’s tone.“Fine. But after tonight, no more drinking for the rest of the week.”Nicole said, carrying out a jar of fine wine.Before long, Joseph had reheated a few dishes and set them on the table.For an evening drink, a handful of simple dishes was more than enough.“Joseph, go fetch three cups and three sets of bowls and chopsticks.”Kim Frederick added.“Alright.”Joseph went at once.“Sir, are we expecting another guest?”Joseph asked curiously.“No.”“This extra

    Kim Frederick studied Joseph’s prescription with great care, a pipe in hand as he smoked thoughtfully, utterly absorbed.It seemed he was not merely reading, but reflecting as well.“Excellent, truly excellent.”“A prescription may be fixed, but an experienced physician knows how to adapt it to the patient’s condition.”“You’ve adjusted this formula with insight and originality.”“And those who dare to alter established prescriptions are people of conviction. I didn’t expect someone so young to possess such resolve.”“To build upon what is given and yet reshape it—that shows you are not someone who studies blindly.”After finishing, the old man spoke with clear admiration.It was evident he was highly satisfied.“Master, I’ve seen this prescription before, but Uncle Wilson has made some modifications to it. That really takes skill—and courage.”Myers Paula remarked, equally impressed.“That is what conviction looks like. When your abilities reach his level, you too will have the confi

    “Don’t worry, ma’am. If I weren’t confident, I wouldn’t proceed.”Joseph reassured her.“It does sound risky. If he were the old master’s disciple, that’d be one thing.”“Otherwise, someone so young—how could he be that capable?”“Let’s just hope nothing goes wrong.”“…”The onlookers outside continued to murmur among themselves.“Young man, I trust you—just as I trust the old gentleman.”The elderly woman said sincerely. Her words felt more like encouragement than mere agreement, and they stirred something in Joseph.It was clear she was a kind and generous soul.“Ma’am, do you have any hot water in the house?”Joseph asked.“There is some, but not much.”“I’ll go heat more.”The old woman rose to busy herself.“No need. Katie, go heat some water.”Joseph instructed.“I’ll do it—I’ll help.”At that moment, one of the villagers spoke up.“I can help too.”“It’s just boiling water—not difficult at all.”“With everyone pitching in, it’s nothing.”“…”At once, several people volunteered.

    Before long, the door opened, and an elderly woman in her sixties appeared before them.“Katie, sir—you’ve come?”“Oh? And this gentleman is…?”Though advanced in years, the woman’s eyes were still sharp, and she quickly noticed Joseph.“This is…”For a moment, Myers Paula wasn’t sure how to introduce him.“A friend of mine. He heard about your condition and came along to take a look. He’s an excellent physician.”Kim Frederick said with a genial smile.“I see.”“Please, come in—have some tea first.”The old woman welcomed them warmly.At her invitation, the three stepped into the courtyard. It was simple in appearance, yet kept neat and tidy.Aside from the elderly woman, there was also a child of three or four playing inside—likely her grandson.“Please, have a seat.”The woman gestured.Joseph and the others took their seats around the stone table in the center of the yard.“Vanessa Robinson, how have you been feeling lately?”Myers Paula asked first.“After you and the old gentlem
