"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.

The trip went smoothly."At her words, Joseph walked over and gave Fiona a light hug as well.That simple gesture warmed Fiona’s heart at once, and the stiffness in her began to melt away.At that moment, she realized that in this man’s heart, she had begun to occupy a place of her own—however small.And that realization filled her with secret joy."Wait, why do they all get a hug, and I don’t?"Seeing this, Mason Alvarez protested in mock annoyance."Then you get one too."Joseph walked over and hugged Mason Alvarez as well."Hehe!""Come on, come on, let’s get in the car.

    "What do you mean, stay in Metropolis City long-term? My home isn’t in Metropolis City, so what would I be doing there?""I’ve never been especially fond of power. I think I’m far better suited to being a doctor—or a teacher.""And besides, I truly like Nova City.""In the next couple of days, once I’ve finished handling things here, I’ll come back."Joseph smiled helplessly as he answered."Wow—really? Hahaha!""Professor Wilson, are you really coming back in the next couple of days?""That’s wonderful, hehe.""..."The moment they heard Joseph say this, the women on the other end erupted in delighted cheers."Just these next two days. Over the past year and more, I’ve spent far too little time with you all. I miss you too."Joseph spoke softly."You miss us? We miss you terribly too, all right?"Alice said, sounding so emotional she was almost on the verge of tears. Ever since getting together with Joseph, she had never been separated from him for so long."All right, all right. We’

    "I believe we still need more proposals for consideration.""For what comes next, I want everyone to speak freely. Then, together, we will weigh every opinion and formulate the landing plan."Joseph addressed the room.With that, a fierce discussion began in earnest.After two full hours, the debate finally drew to a close. At last, the group had arrived at a shared core position.Joseph raised a hand, signaling for silence.At once, the room quieted."The two main schools of thought are these: a direct frontal assault, or a surprise beachhead seizure with an elite strike force.""I think both approaches have merit.""After careful consideration, I intend to employ both. But my thinking differs somewhat from yours.""Strictly speaking, I have merely refined your proposals."Joseph rose to his feet, swept his gaze across the assembled generals, and spoke."Then we ask General Wilson to decide.""Please, General Wilson—give the order.""General Wilson, the floor is yours.""..."At his

    "General, your foresight is far beyond ours.""With a commander like you, Elysia has nothing to fear.""Your achievements are unparalleled, General. History itself will remember what you have done for Elysia.""..."Voices of admiration rose one after another across the room."When the fate of the nation hangs in the balance, every citizen bears a duty. How would I dare speak of merit?" Joseph said calmly."It is now six-thirty in the evening. In two and a half hours, long-range strategic weapons will erupt from the Southern Frontier and fire the opening salvo of our counteroffensive against the Dreadmoor homeland."He glanced at the time and addressed them all.At those words, everyone rose to their feet, the atmosphere turning grave at once."We still have some time.""I need each of you to present your amphibious assault plans.""Before long, our million-strong royal host will cross the sea with blades raised high and crush Dreadmoor beneath its march."Joseph swept his gaze over t
