The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 118: You're So Thoughtful, I’m Truly Touched
"I walked right past you, and you didn’t even notice. What were you thinking about? Were you missing me? It’s only been a day or two, and you can’t stop thinking about me already?" Heidi teased with a mischievous grin.Joseph felt a wave of discomfort under her gaze. Her playful, flirtatious tone made him blush slightly."I... um, breakfast is in the backseat. Let me grab it for you. Let’s head to the pavilion and eat there," he said, clearing his throat and diverting the conversation."Sure. Thanks, brother-in-law," Heidi replied, her tone carrying a hint of amusement.Joseph stepped out of the car, retrieved the breakfast from the backseat, and started walking toward the pavilion they had visited the day before."Brother-in-law, how do you like my outfit today?" Heidi asked, skipping lightly beside him as if showing off.Today, she wore high-waisted denim shorts paired with a cropped T-shirt that revealed her slender waist. The contrast between her slim figure and her curves was str

"That’s it?" Joseph probed."Well, there’s one more thing," Heidi said, her cheeks turning a soft shade of pink. "I usually get terrible cramps when my period starts. Last night, it came like clockwork after I went to bed, but this morning I realized—no pain at all. Honestly, it’s kind of amazing. Normally, I’d be tossing and turning all night, unable to sleep from the discomfort."She stole a shy glance at Joseph as she spoke, her face growing redder. Talking about something so personal with a man made her feel both embarrassed and oddly exhilarated. She had never shared such intimate details with anyone before, let alone a man."Give me your hand. Let me check your pulse," Joseph said calmly.Heidi obediently extended her left hand, resting it on the table. Joseph placed his fingers on her wrist, his expression serious as he felt for her pulse. Heidi couldn’t help but sneak a glance at him. In that moment, the way he focused so intently on his task gave him a magnetic quality. She f

"It’s just a title. Call me whatever you like. For the past three years, at the very least, you’ve been like family to me," Joseph said with a nod."Really?" Heidi’s eyes glistened with sudden emotion, her voice trembling slightly."Of course. Why would I lie about something like this? You asked me this once before, and my answer hasn’t changed. It never will. Now, why are you crying? You’re already eighteen—an adult! In a couple of years, you’ll probably be married, so why get all teary-eyed over this?" Joseph teased gently, handing her a tissue when he noticed her misty eyes."It’s your fault for always saying such sentimental things! You know how easily I cry," Heidi sniffled as she wiped her tears, her tone defiant yet tinged with joy. "And who says I’m getting married? I’m not leaving—I’m staying with you, brother-in-law, no matter what!""Stay with me if you like. As long as it makes you happy," Joseph said with a resigned smile."Hehe… brother-in-law, I’ve realized something—yo

"That’s true, but his injury wasn’t nearly as severe as something requiring surgery—at least, not from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine. It just needed manual realignment. The procedure is highly technical but doesn’t take much time—just a few minutes, really," Joseph said with a faint smile."Wait, you made thirty grand in just a few minutes? That’s insane!" Heidi’s opinion of the situation shifted instantly."If it weren’t for the ‘special circumstances’ surrounding the injury, thirty thousand would hardly be enough. My consultation fees are notoriously high, and even with money, it’s not guaranteed I’d take the case," Joseph said, a hint of pride in his voice."Brother-in-law, you’ve got to teach me how to treat patients someday," Heidi said with a mix of admiration and envy."You’re not exactly short on money. Even though the Cooper family doesn’t give you a huge allowance, you’ve probably saved up quite a bit over the years," Joseph said knowingly.Hearing this, He

Seeing the commotion, Joseph could only gesture for everyone to quiet down."Everyone, if you genuinely have academic questions you’d like to ask, feel free to add my contact information. I’ll approve your requests when I have the time.""But as for those inviting me out to dinner or saying things like ‘my parents aren’t home, why don’t you come over and play games with me’—" Joseph’s voice rose slightly as he continued, "I’m afraid I can’t entertain those requests. I’m very busy.""Fuck, who’s so shameless? ‘My parents aren’t home’? Inviting the professor over to play games? Seriously?""If you’re not here to study, don’t bother adding Professor Wilson. What’s wrong with you people?""Exactly! Girls, can’t you show a little restraint?"Amid the crowd, voices of complaints and indignation rose."Ugh, shut up, you boring straight men. What’s it to you if we invite Professor Wilson over?""Yeah, it’s not that you’re upset we’re being bold—it’s that we’re not being bold with you!""Exact

"I heard Professor Wilson is going to demonstrate a high-difficulty bone realignment technique today. It’s a rare chance to see such a procedure in action, so even grad students from the medical school have come to watch.""Professor Wilson is incredible. His classes are so popular!""Of course they are! I’ve been saying it all along—having Professor Wilson teach Orthopedic Surgery is the best thing that’s ever happened to us."The students buzzed with excitement, their voices filled with admiration and anticipation."Good morning, esteemed professors and fellow students," Joseph began as he stepped onto the podium. His calm, confident demeanor immediately captured the room’s attention. "Many of you attended yesterday’s lecture, so you should already be familiar with me. For those who aren’t, allow me to introduce myself again." He paused, scanning the room with a faint smile. His poised, charismatic presence made it clear he was ready to deliver a memorable lesson."Mr. Wilson, let’

Meanwhile, another round of applause erupted in the classroom. Joseph had just finished questioning over a dozen students and proceeded to offer a detailed analysis of Charles Martin’s injuries.Time flew by amidst the engaging lecture. The students, engrossed in Joseph’s explanations, were surprised when the bell rang, signaling the end of class."Class is over already? That felt so fast!""Mr. Wilson’s lectures are always so captivating. No wonder time flew by.""Every time I attend his class, I feel like I’m opening the door to a whole new world.""At least this semester, we’ll get to attend his lectures regularly!"The students chattered excitedly, their praise for Joseph ringing through the room.But Charles Martin, sitting off to the side, was far less enthusiastic. After enduring an entire class of Joseph’s antics, he finally couldn’t hold back any longer."What’s with this nonsense? You spent most of the class asking students questions, then went on about theory for another tw
The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 125: Just to See You
“Ventilation, huh? Is that really the reason?” Heidi asked with a knowing smirk.Joseph cleared his throat, trying to change the subject. “Heidi, you’re not even a medical student. Could you even understand my lecture?”“Of course not! I didn’t come here to learn,” she replied matter-of-factly.“Then why are you here?” Joseph asked, taking a sip of water to mask his discomfort.“Obviously, I came to see *you*! And to witness Charles Martin make a fool of himself. I’ve already seen you in action—gotta say, you looked pretty dashing up there, brother-in-law. Why didn’t I notice before how charismatic you are?”Heidi’s words flowed effortlessly, her tone both playful and sincere.“Alright, enough of that. I need to head back. Charles Martin’s hand still needs fixing—if I don’t treat it soon, it might end up permanently damaged,” Joseph said, glancing at the clock.“Why bother? That guy’s been out to get you from the start. Let his hand stay ruined—it’d serve him right,” Heidi huffed, cle

"It's written all over your face—you think I wouldn’t notice?" Joseph teased with a smile."I-Is it really?" Brady Rogers looked genuinely startled. He instinctively picked up his phone and angled the screen toward his face like a mirror.Only after doing so did he realize how ridiculous the gesture was."Professor Wilson, are you messing with me? How could anything be written on my face?" Flushing with embarrassment, Brady scratched the back of his head."Hahaha… Professor Rogers, I meant that your emotions show clearly on your face—not that there's actual writing there." Joseph chuckled, thoroughly amused by his colleague’s reaction."Well, you’re not wrong. I do have something I’d like to talk to you about. Could I borrow three or four minutes of your time?" Brady asked earnestly."Three or four minutes? That’s just about the length of a song. We’ve got plenty of time before class—go ahead." Joseph checked his watch and nodded."Yes, just the length of a song. May I have that

"Huh? What did you say?" Molly finally registered Mason Morgan’s words, her face flushing an even deeper shade of red.She had been lost in a swirl of thoughts—fanciful, chaotic musings that made her momentarily forget where she was, or what Mason had said."I asked why your face is so red. Are you feeling unwell?" Mason repeated patiently."Really? I don’t think so. I feel fine—maybe the kitchen was just a bit too warm." Molly touched her cheeks, trying to explain away her embarrassment."Molly, I feel like there’s a surge of energy rushing straight to my head." Mason suddenly pulled her into his arms, their bodies pressed close together."Ah!" Molly let out a soft gasp at the sudden embrace."Alright, stop fooling around. You’re not supposed to overexert yourself—wait until your body fully recovers." She gently straightened his collar, her face still tinged with shyness."How about we go get our marriage certificate in the next couple of days? That way, we’ll finally be offici

"I told you—it’s medicine," Molly replied without missing a beat."Medicine? Medicine that smells like that? Are you trying to fool a child?" Leah tilted her head, clearly unconvinced."Why would I lie to you? If you don’t believe me, see for yourself." Molly sighed. Her daughter had many good traits, but her gluttony was incurable.Leah stepped closer and peered into the bowl. She blinked at the dark liquid—yes, it looked like medicine, but the aroma was far too enticing."Medicine that smells this good? Maybe... I should taste it?" She stared at the bowl with a thoughtful expression."Are you crazy? You want to drink medicine now?" Molly was half amused, half exasperated."But it looks really tasty!" Leah protested."This is your Uncle Mason’s prescription. If you drink it, what’s he supposed to take?" Molly rolled her eyes."Fine then! So you're saying this was prescribed by Alice’s boyfriend? For Uncle Mason?" Leah tilted her head upward, her tone suddenly serious."Yes, A

"What gap between people are you talking about?" "People aren’t all that different—it’s just a matter of methodology. Once you grasp the right approach, your efficiency naturally improves." Joseph smiled as he spoke."Then you have to teach me!" Alice pouted. "I thought I was already ahead of my classmates, but with your help, I feel like I can finish the entire theoretical part of this project tonight if I work another two hours.""Tomorrow, I’ll head to the lab, and that should wrap things up. The core of this project is theoretical anyway—the experimental part is minimal.""That’s great. Come on, let’s eat first." Joseph suggested.Alice agreed and took her seat at the table."Joseph, try this!" She beamed, placing a bite of food into his bowl."Delicious. You've improved a lot. At this rate, you could be a head chef at a hotel!" Joseph took a bite and praised her sincerely."Really?" Alice’s face lit up like a blooming flower."Of course." Joseph replied with certainty."Hm

"Okay, I’ve turned it down to a simmer. Two hours it is. Let’s go eat. After dinner, we’ll clean up and check the medicine—it should be about done by then." Molly gave Mason a gentle nudge."Mom, Uncle Mason, what are you cooking? Why does it smell so good?" Just then, Leah wandered over, stretching her neck to peek into the kitchen, her face full of curiosity."What else could it be? It’s medicine!" Molly tugged Leah away from the kitchen."But how can medicine smell so good? Isn’t it supposed to be bitter?" Leah glanced longingly over her shoulder, confusion written all over her face."That’s the prescription Alice’s boyfriend wrote for your Uncle Mason. It does smell good, doesn’t it? As for why... your mom’s got no idea." Molly replied as she sat at the dining table, dishing food onto Leah’s plate."Alice’s boyfriend?" Leah blinked in surprise, curiosity gleaming in her eyes."I’ll take you to see him next time. Have you met Alice before?" Mason Morgan asked with a smile."

"You're so annoying. You clearly know what I mean, yet you're pretending not to."Alice gave Joseph a playful punch on the chest, her voice tinged with flirtatious reproach.Joseph took a moment to process her words. It was only then that the meaning registered."Ahem... so, do you want to?" He asked softly, a faint blush coloring his cheeks.Upon hearing this, Alice buried her face shyly into Joseph's chest."I don't know. I've never tried it... so I want to. I just don't know what it feels like." Her voice was barely audible, muffled against his chest. Though her dorm mates often joked lewdly, this was the first time she had ever talked about such things with a man.She wasn’t even sure where her courage had come from—to say these things to Joseph."So that means you do want to." Seeing her bashful expression, Joseph suddenly found himself less embarrassed."Sometimes I think about it..." Alice murmured, then added with uncharacteristic boldness, "That old hag Mason Alvarez said

"Since it’s Professor Baker who arranged it, you can’t really say no, right? Besides, just think of it as helping Senior Mason Alvarez out." Alice glanced over at Joseph, her bright eyes twinkling playfully."I could always just tell them I already have a girlfriend. If I made our relationship public, I wouldn’t have to go at all." Joseph replied as he drove."No, no, that absolutely won’t work!" Alice immediately shook her head. "Even though we’ve known each other for a long time, people love to gossip. You're a professor, and I’m still a student. Who knows what kind of rumors might spread if we go public?""Joseph, what I fear most is inadvertently hurting your reputation. And if we did come out with it, what about Senior Alvarez? She’d be the one stuck dealing with all the fallout again.""You always think more about others than yourself," Joseph sighed, his voice tinged with concern. "Sometimes, it’s okay to be a little selfish."She was so considerate, it made his heart ach

"Don’t worry, Charles. You know how close I am with your mother. If you truly like my daughter, I’ll help you. But I need you to cooperate too. You understand what I mean, don’t you?" Maria’s voice lowered meaningfully."I understand, I completely understand." A glint of satisfaction flickered in Charles Martin’s eyes as he listened to Maria Long’s words.As long as Fiona and Heidi moved into his villa, even if he couldn’t win their hearts, he was determined to possess their bodies."As long as you understand our intentions, that’s all that matters." "Alright then, we won’t keep you any longer. Let’s leave it at that for now." With the matter settled, Maria Long ended the call, her tone filled with smug contentment.After hanging up, Charles Martin’s expression darkened with a sinister edge. "Joseph, you’ve been married for three years and haven’t even touched Fiona’s hand. When I finally have her, I'll make sure to flaunt it in your face.""And Heidi—that wretched woman who’s ne

"This is a matter between teachers—it has nothing to do with you students!" Charles Martin tried to explain, his voice tense."If it has nothing to do with us, then why did you make it public?" "Exactly! Couldn’t agree more." "A teacher who doesn’t keep his word isn’t welcome at Nova University." "Yeah, own up to your bet!" "..."The voices on the other end grew louder and more chaotic."I’m done talking. I’m hanging up—I have class to get to." Charles Martin ended the call abruptly. There was no point in dragging it out any longer; he knew he wouldn’t win against this mob.He was tempted to just switch off his phone and be done with it.But school policy required teachers to keep their phones on and available during work hours, in case of emergencies or administrative contact.Charles leaned back in his chair, exhausted in both body and mind. He still had no idea who had leaked his personal information to the school forum.Buzz! Buzz!And again, the phone vibrated.Already on e
