"You may be uncertain about giving her a future, but she’s certain about giving you one. I have only one son and one granddaughter. Alice is the undeniable heir to the Morgan family."

"The properties in Nova City? They’re just a fraction of the Morgan family’s assets. Our true foundation lies in Metropolis City, where Alice’s father manages all of our enterprises. As long as you marry Alice, all of it will be yours."

"All you need to do is say yes—and you’ll instantly possess wealth beyond imagination," Blake said, his voice brimming with pride.

Joseph silently reflected, marveling at the sheer magnitude of the Morgan family’s wealth.

There was no doubt—Alice wasn’t just any heiress. She was the heiress, a true gem of high society.

To marry Alice wasn’t just to gain unimaginable riches—it was to win the heart of a remarkable woman. A man who achieved both would have the world at his feet, smiling even in his dreams.

"I know all that. But my relationship with Alice has nothing to

    “What I mean is, you’re already so sleepy—why didn’t you just go to bed? Why did you still come over?”Joseph sat down on the edge of the bed and explained.“I missed you. I want to sleep with you tonight.”Alice leaned in and said affectionately.Hearing this, Joseph reached out and turned off the light. In one smooth motion, he pressed Alice gently onto the bed and pulled the blanket over them.Breathing in the alluring fragrance of her body, Joseph found it hard to restrain himself. He instinctively lowered his head and kissed her soft, rosy lips. The exquisite sensation at his mouth nearly made him lose all reason.“Mmm?”“Joseph… what’s gotten into you tonight? Why are you in such a hurry?”Alice asked in confusion. Normally, Joseph was the composed one, while she was more proactive. Tonight, however, he seemed unusually impatient.“Because I feel like I’ve been too busy lately, and I haven’t spent enough time with you.”Joseph thought for a moment before answering.“You silly Jo

    “I just finished up. What’s going on?”Joseph replied.No sooner had he finished speaking than Mason Alvarez pushed the door open and slipped inside, looking rather furtive.“Professor Alvarez, what’s going on? Is something the matter?”Joseph asked, amused by her behavior.“Nothing serious. Did you get the meeting notice? The one for Wednesday.”Mason Alvarez took out her phone, opened her email, and showed it to Joseph.“I haven’t checked my inbox yet, but President Harris already called me. I’ll be attending the Wednesday meeting as well.”Joseph glanced at her screen and answered.“Of course you will. You’re the main event. The fact that the president personally called you means you’re crucial to this meeting.”Mason Alvarez said as if it were obvious.“That’s more or less how I see it too.”“The selection meeting for the management of Nova University’s Sixth Affiliated Hospital—President Harris has brought up the dean and vice-dean positions with me more than once.”Joseph smiled

    “Here’s the situation. The total cost of the surgery came to two hundred and thirty thousand dollars, but Professor Martin transferred one million dollars. After deducting the surgical expenses, there’s still over seven hundred thousand left.”“After some discussion, we decided to transfer that remaining amount to your account, Professor Wilson.”“After all, the success of this surgery is largely due to you. Please don’t refuse.”Dr. Forrest explained the entire matter in detail.“Did Professor Martin say how the excess money should be handled?”Joseph asked.“No. He simply transferred one million dollars. That’s all.”Dr. Forrest replied candidly.“If Professor Martin transferred one million to you, then technically, that money belongs to the hospital.”Joseph said plainly.“But you were the lead surgeon for this operation.”“And our hospital cannot accept excess fees. So in the end, this money can only be handled by you.”Dr. Forrest looked genuinely troubled.“I see…”Hearing this,

    “How about I make her steamed lobster—her absolute favorite?”Joseph thought for a moment and said.“A dinner made with love, huh?”“Either way is fine. You’ve grown up together—you know her better than anyone.”Mason Alvarez blinked her beautiful eyes and replied.“Then it’s settled.”Joseph nodded.After that, Joseph and Mason Alvarez first went to buy the lipstick Alice loved most. On the way home, Joseph stopped by a seafood market and carefully selected an especially large lobster.Once everything was prepared, the two of them finally headed home.By the time they arrived, it was already around four in the afternoon.At that moment, Alice was sprawled in the living room, binge-watching a drama while munching noisily on snacks.“Joseph, you’re back!”Seeing him, Alice immediately put down her tablet and hurried over to him.“What did you buy?”She stared at the bags in his hands with childlike curiosity, rummaging through them like an overly inquisitive kid.“They’re ingredients.

    “What do you mean ‘a bit difficult’? I’m no orthopedics expert, but even I could tell that operation was far from easy.”“Not to mention, in all of Nova City—maybe even Elysia—besides you, I doubt there’s a second person who would dare take it on.”“That surgery’s going to be a classic case at Nova First Hospital—studied over and over, taught to young doctors for years.”Toby Dristan spoke from the heart.“Well… maybe. It should have some academic value.”Joseph was modest by nature. Faced with such praise, he wasn’t sure how to respond.“Right, enough talk—I nearly forgot the important part. What would you like to eat? Order whatever you want.”“This is probably the most famous seafood place in Nova City. I’ve been here twice—very distinctive.”He passed the menu to Joseph and Mason.“Mr. Dristan, you should do the honors. We’re your guests.”Mason glanced at Joseph, playing polite.“Go ahead, Mr. Dristan.”Joseph echoed.“Oh, come on—no need to be formal with me.”“If it weren’t for

    “I was going to ask if you could rub my arm a bit. I’ve been gripping a scalpel all day—it’s sore.”Joseph smiled.“That’s it?”Mason shot him a mock-angry look.“What else would it be? What nonsense are you imagining?”He arched a brow.“Ugh, get out. I hope your arm falls off.”She gave him a playful swat and rolled her eyes.“If there’s nothing else, I’ll head out.”Joseph patted her on the hip and rose.“Wait.”Mason slipped off his lap.“What is it?”he asked.“I’ll massage it for you. Can’t help it—I worry about you.”With surprising tenderness, she started kneading his forearm. Joseph could only chuckle, wordless.Time slipped by.By a little past eleven the next morning, it was nearly time to leave. They were supposed to meet Toby Dristan at noon, but Mason was still fussing over makeup and outfits—something she’d been doing since nine.Joseph was at a loss. Do all women need this long to leave the house?“Joseph, when will you two be back?”Alice asked around a bite of apple,
