Chapter 11: Buying This for a Boy for the First Time

Due to the overwhelming number of messy comments, Alice couldn't read them one by one. More importantly, there was no need to do so.

With her pure and beautiful appearance and good family background, naturally, many people pursued her at school. The wealthy young masters of Nova City's affluent families, without exception, were all her ardent admirers.

However, in her eyes, these were all just frivolous playboys. From a young age, her heart had only been filled with her Joseph. Her entire youth was occupied by beautiful memories related to Joseph.

Alice opened her phone, thinking of replying in the comment section to clarify her relationship with Joseph to avoid any misunderstandings. But after thinking about it, she stopped and deleted the entire line of text she had typed.

Why should she clarify? If she deliberately clarified, would Joseph be unhappy? But if she didn't clarify, many people would be displeased, right?

However, what did other people's displeasure have to do with her? As long as Joseph was happy, that's all that mattered.

With this thought, Alice put down her phone.

"Knock, knock, knock..." There was a knocking sound from outside.

"Alice, can I have my phone back?" Joseph's voice came from outside. Only then did Alice remember that Joseph's phone was in her room.

"Ah? Right, I forgot to give you the phone," Alice looked at it, grabbed Joseph's new phone, and opened the door.

Joseph was waiting at the door.

"Joseph, this is your new phone. It used to be my spare phone. This is your old phone. I'm giving them both to you."

"Also, I registered F******k for you and added my and Grandpa's contact information."

"By the way, quite a few messages came in just now. I guess someone was looking for you. Don't worry, I didn't read the content. I know to respect your privacy," Alice handed the two phones to Joseph and explained everything carefully and patiently.

"Okay, thank you," Joseph thanked her with a smile.

"Joseph?" Alice looked at Joseph with a slightly aggrieved expression, which Joseph didn't quite understand.

"Um, what's the matter?" Joseph asked.

"Don't say thank you, okay? Why are you still so polite with me? What's mine is yours. If you want anything, just tell me."

Hearing these words, Joseph felt touched in his heart. Since his parents passed away, the grandfather and granddaughter of the Morgan family had been the kindest people to him.

He had thought he would be alone for the rest of his life, but now, having a girl who was good to him seemed not bad.

However, over the years, he had completely forgotten about others, which made him feel somewhat guilty.

"Then I won't thank you," Joseph smiled.

"Hey, you... Alright, you've been busy all day. Go take a shower and get some rest. I have classes tomorrow afternoon," Alice sighed, feeling a bit exasperated. Her Joseph was a bit too straightforward.

However, even the straightforward Joseph was adorable.

"Okay," Joseph agreed, but then thought of something.

"No, wait a moment."

"Hmm? Joseph, is there anything else?" Alice was about to close the door but was stopped by Joseph.

"What did you go downstairs to buy for me earlier?" Joseph asked curiously.

"Um..." Alice was stunned for a moment, her pretty face turning slightly red as she recalled something embarrassing.

"That... I'll go get it for you. Wait here!" Alice, with a flushed face, went back to her room and closed the door behind her.

"Why so mysterious?" Joseph became even more puzzled.

Before long, Alice's door opened again, and Alice came out holding something, but she hid it behind her back, so Joseph couldn't see what it was.

"Umm, Joseph, could you please close your eyes? Close your eyes, and I'll give you the thing," Alice's pretty face was flushed, her head slightly lowered, looking enchantingly beautiful.

"So mysterious?" Joseph was stunned again.

"Alright then, I'll close my eyes," saying this, Joseph closed his eyes.

"Don't open your eyes. Only open them after I'm back in my room," Alice reminded him again.

"Okay," Joseph could only agree.

Subsequently, Joseph felt something soft being placed in his hands.

"Okay... Okay, I didn't know about the sizes and all, so I bought two of each size for you," after saying this, Alice fled back to her room and closed the door tightly.

After Alice returned to her room, Joseph opened his eyes and discovered that he was holding several pairs of men's underwear.

"Oh... So that's what it was!" Joseph was stunned for a moment, muttering to himself. After realizing what it was, he chuckled.

Then, holding his intimate clothing, he left.

After returning to her room, Alice buried her head tightly in her pillow. It was simply embarrassing to death. It was the first time she had bought such things for a boy. She had originally wanted Joseph to buy them himself.

But then, she felt that doing this had a special meaning.

After calming her excited emotions, Alice opened her F******k chat window with Joseph.

"Umm, Joseph, I've never bought such things for anyone before. I really don't know much about it. See if you like the styles."

"Whew... I squatted outside the convenience store for twenty minutes before mustering the courage to go in!" Alice typed rapidly and sent two messages to Joseph.

"What's there to care about styles for these things? It's not like you girls!" Joseph replied with a message, accompanied by a smirking emoji.

"Ah ah ah! Joseph, you're so knowledgeable! Did you buy them for your ex-wife before?" Alice asked tentatively.

"No. She and I weren't husband and wife, not even friends."

"I won't talk to you for now. I'm going to take a shower and take care of some things," Joseph replied briefly.

With that, Joseph started checking the 99+ messages on his phone.

Upon opening them, he found that they were all from Heidi, inquiring about his whereabouts.

During these few years in the Cooper family, only Heidi treated him as a family member, although she also liked to order him around. But she sincerely considered him her brother-in-law.

Additionally, he discovered that he had dozens of missed calls. After a quick glance, except for one from Fiona, the rest were all from Heidi.

It seemed that Heidi was quite worried about him. He should call her back; otherwise, it would be too heartless to ignore her good intentions.

However, just as Joseph was about to call Heidi, Heidi's call came in. Joseph was slightly stunned and pressed the answer button.
