The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 128: My Brother-in-Law is Professor Wilson
“Alright, enjoy your meal,” Joseph replied, knowing that Heidi was likely already at the restaurant and too busy eating to check her phone.Just as he was about to put down his phone, it started buzzing. Alice’s name lit up the screen.“Joseph, have you eaten yet?” Alice’s sweet voice came through the line.“Uh… not yet, actually. I just finished everything here,” Joseph admitted, momentarily taken aback by her call.“I figured as much! I called earlier, but you didn’t pick up. I knew you must’ve been swamped with students,” Alice said with a hint of concern in her voice.“They were just… very enthusiastic,” Joseph replied with an awkward laugh.“Well, I’m already on my way to the university, and I’ve brought you some food. I couldn’t finish the dishes you made this morning, so I added two simple dishes I cooked myself. Just make do with it,” Alice said warmly.“You cooked?” Joseph asked, genuinely surprised.“Of course! Don’t worry, it’s probably not terrible. I didn’t have much to d
The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 129: This is Called Love
“Well? Do you believe me now?” Heidi said smugly, clutching her lunchbox tightly to protect it from further “damage.”“Alright, I believe you! Does your brother-in-law bring you food every day? I’m so jealous—this is top-tier chef-level cooking!” Daphne asked, her curiosity piqued.“Not every day, but today was a coincidence. Even if it were every day, he wouldn’t refuse. He works at Nova University now, so it’s not a big deal for him to bring me food. Even though he’s divorced from my sister, he still dotes on me. He wouldn’t say no if I asked,” Heidi said, her tone carrying a hint of pride.“Wait, your brother-in-law works at Nova University? Is he a professor?” the short-haired girl asked, picking up on the key detail in Heidi’s words.“Girl, professors at Nova University are all highly educated and usually over forty. They’re basically a bunch of old men. So, which old professor is your brother-in-law?” Daphne teased, clearly enjoying herself.“What nonsense are you spouting? My b
The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 130: A Man Fierce as a Tiger
“In psychology, when you’re afraid of losing someone, it’s a sign that you’ve already fallen for them. Let me guess—you feel uncomfortable whenever you see him with another woman, don’t you?” the short-haired girl asked, her tone knowing.“How do you know that?” Heidi asked, her eyes wide with surprise.“Because you have feelings for him. Those feelings may have already blossomed into love. Let me ask you this—if he were hurt, homeless, or in trouble, would you feel heartbroken for him?” the short-haired girl asked gently, testing her.“Of course! He’s my brother-in-law. He’s family,” Heidi answered without hesitation.“But he’s not your brother-in-law anymore. He’s divorced from your sister, which means he’s no longer your family. So… in what capacity are you feeling heartbroken for him?” Daphne pressed, her words cutting straight to the point.“As… a friend?” Heidi ventured hesitantly.“That’s where you’re wrong. If he were just a friend, why do you still call him ‘brother-in-law’ e
The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 131: Not That I've Tested It
"And how do you know he wouldn’t like me?" Daphne shot back with a grin. "Because he just wouldn’t," Heidi retorted, flustered. "Stop overthinking things, okay?" But deep down, even Heidi wasn’t entirely certain if Joseph could resist someone like Daphne. Women like her rarely got rejected by men. "Heidi, we’re just joking. Look at you, acting like someone’s about to snatch your man away," the short-haired girl teased, her tone lighthearted. "Fine, I’ll share my food with you, but only if you promise me one thing," Heidi said after a moment of thought, her expression unusually serious. "What is it?" Daphne and the short-haired girl asked in unison. "You can’t tell anyone about my brother-in-law’s past. It wasn’t easy for him to get this job. If people find out about his history, it might affect his work." "And don’t bring up my connection to him, either. That’s all in the past now. Mentioning it could lead to unnecessary complications." "He’s been married to my sister for year
The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 132: Your Health, My Happiness
"Ahem, are you suggesting you’d like to test it?" Joseph coughed lightly, unsure how to respond to her bold statement. He spoke almost instinctively."I didn’t mean that! Don’t twist my words!" Alice exclaimed, covering her face with her hands. Beneath them, her cheeks were burning red, as if they might burst into flames. How did the conversation even end up here? The sheer embarrassment was overwhelming. "Good, as long as you didn’t mean it." Joseph continued eating, his tone casual as if nothing had happened.But Alice, hearing this, felt something was off again. "What do you mean, ‘as long as I didn’t mean it’? That sounds so strange!" she retorted, her voice tinged with dissatisfaction. "Are you saying I don’t have any charm at all? That you’re not even the least bit attracted to me?"Joseph couldn’t help but laugh at her indignant expression. "That’s not what I meant. Can we save this conversation for when we’re not in the cafeteria? This is hardly the place for it." Alice gl
The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 133: Professor Wilson Already Has a Girlfriend
"It’s fine, go ahead and look. My Facebook is a mess—no labels, no organization. I think you’re the only one with a note attached to your name. What kind of privacy could I possibly have for you to see?" Joseph chuckled, shaking his head. "Alright, I’ll take a look. Don’t worry, I won’t snoop," Alice said, finally picking up Joseph’s phone and unlocking it. The moment she opened it, her eyes widened in shock—there were over a hundred unread messages. "‘Professor Wilson, want to come over to my place tonight and play some games? My parents aren’t home!’" Alice read aloud, her voice dripping with disbelief. "What the hell is this? Playing games? Is that what they’re really inviting you for? Women these days are just shameless." "Here’s another one: ‘Professor Wilson, my sink is clogged. Can you come over tonight and help clear it? It’s so uncomfortable having the sink clogged; the water’s everywhere.’" Alice’s jaw dropped as she continued to read. "A clogged sink? Why don’t they c
The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 134: Too Many Female Students Harassing Me
Watching her hurried figure disappear, Joseph couldn’t help but laugh and shake his head. No matter how much time passed, Alice still seemed like the same little girl he’d always known—gentle, caring, and endearing, yet perpetually scatterbrained and impulsive. Once Alice was gone, Joseph tidied up the table and headed back to his office. He didn’t have any classes in the afternoon, and Leonard Sanchez had scheduled his meeting with Fiona for 4 PM. Joseph decided to take the opportunity to rest in his office for a bit. On his way there, he casually checked his phone. The post Alice had written had already garnered a flood of comments—most of them from girls. What surprised Joseph the most was that the first comment came from Fiona. Instead of writing anything, she’d simply left a single question mark under his post. Joseph stared at it for a moment but decided to ignore it. He scrolled through the other comments, most of which were the usual chaotic mix of admiration and curiosity

"According to the schedule, no, I’m free this afternoon. But Professor Sanchez has a meeting with me at four," Joseph replied. "Ah, well, all the professors here are assigned private rest spaces. If you’re free now, I could show you yours. If you ever consider moving into campus housing, you’ll need to apply separately for a faculty dorm. These private rest spaces are just for midday breaks—they only have a bed and basic amenities," Brady explained. "Living on campus isn’t for me—I already have a place to stay. But if you’re not busy, I’d appreciate it if you could show me the rest space. Having a quiet spot to take a break during the day sounds nice," Joseph said with a smile. Deep down, Joseph was sure Alice would never allow him to move onto campus. And truthfully, he didn’t want to either. Living with Alice meant having someone to talk to, eat with, and share his days and nights. Humans were social creatures, after all. While Joseph was capable of enduring loneliness, he saw no

"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
