"See? That’s exactly why I reminded you."Joseph spread his hands innocently."Reminded me? What do you mean? You were clearly taking advantage of me! And now you’re pretending to be all proper!""You… you don’t like this, do you? Do you think I’m not feminine enough?""No way! Now I have to hold onto you—let’s see what you do about it!"The more Heidi thought about it, the more it didn’t sit right with her. Without warning, she grabbed his arm again—this time holding on even tighter.Great. Now the soft sensation pressing against him was even more pronounced.This girl really didn’t see him as an outsider, did she?He had only meant to give her a kind reminder, yet she had somehow turned the tables on him."Why are you holding on so tightly? What if someone sees us?"Joseph’s face turned an even deeper shade of red as he spoke with embarrassment."So what? There’s no one around."Heidi remained unfazed, continuing to do as she pleased."There will be people in the kitchen."Joseph sa

"Besides, it’s not like I did it on purpose."Maria Long’s voice was brash, completely unapologetic.Hearing those words, Fiona could no longer contain herself.Before, Maria Long had directed all her malice toward Joseph, and though Fiona had always found it unpleasant, she wasn’t personally affected.But now, Maria Long had turned that same venomous nature against the one person Fiona cared for the most—her grandfather.Only now did Fiona fully realize that her mother was not just unreasonable.She was cruel. Selfish. Malicious.She had crossed the most basic moral lines.For the first time, Fiona felt grateful that she had not been raised by her parents—that she had grown up under the guidance of her grandparents instead."Maria Long, have you said enough? Do you really think you’re in the right?"Fiona’s voice trembled with fury, her eyes reddening with emotion.How could someone commit such a terrible act and still speak such heartless words?"Wh-What do you mean I’m not right?"

“What nonsense are you spouting? Everything I did was for your own good! Do you really think you’d have any future if you spent your life with that useless man?”Maria Long finally snapped back, unable to hold her tongue anymore.“Enough, Maria Long! You’re blind by choice!”“Your vision is so narrow, your outlook so limited. You’ll never admit you’re wrong, never acknowledge the truth. No wonder Grandfather saw right through you.”“From today onward, I’m moving back to the main house. You can do whatever you want. But once Grandfather recovers, it will be your turn to face judgment.”With that, Fiona turned on her heel and stormed off to her room to pack.She couldn’t stay in this house any longer. Living under the same roof with these two would drive her insane.She packed her things quickly, then grabbed her suitcase, got into her car, and drove away from the villa.However, she didn’t head straight to the Cooper family estate. Instead, she drove to the headquarters of the family’s

However, Heidi’s hopes were merely wishful thinking—the old lady still spoke.“She once said that her inability to cook was predestined. Because one day, she would meet a man who excelled at cooking, who would love her for a lifetime, and who would willingly cook for her forever.”The old lady’s face held a trace of nostalgia as she chuckled softly.Hearing this, Heidi immediately covered her face. Grandmother, did you have to bring this up now?And did you have to say it so clearly? Were you afraid that Brother-in-law wouldn’t catch your hint?Joseph, momentarily stunned by the revelation, suddenly regretted his curiosity. Thinking back, he realized he had been thoroughly set up by the old lady. She had skillfully led the conversation in circles until he was unwittingly ensnared.Though she was elderly, her mind was as sharp as ever—something Joseph had clearly underestimated.“Grandmother, why bring this up all of a sudden? Isn’t this topic a little out of place?” Heidi muttered, h

“Then why did you keep talking? You practically handed yourself over on a silver platter! And worse, you dragged me down with you,” Heidi huffed.Joseph sighed. “It was a reflex, alright? Besides, I couldn’t just ignore the old lady. Pretending not to hear her would’ve been rude.”“Ugh, fine, I won’t argue with you this time. I guess I do like how dense you can be sometimes,” Heidi muttered.She walked a few steps ahead before suddenly turning back to look at him.Her lively, radiant expression made Joseph momentarily dazed.Could any man truly remain unaffected by such an endearing display?“Brother-in-law, you’re spacing out again. Dummy!”Heidi tapped him lightly on the forehead.“Uh… So… which part of what you just said was a joke?” Joseph asked instinctively."The truth is, I believe destiny decided I wasn’t meant to have a talent for cooking. That's why fate sent a man into my life who's not only a great cook but also willing to make delicious meals for me for a lifetime."Heidi

"Professor Martin, what was so urgent that you had to drag me out in the middle of my meal?"Lincoln Myers asked as he took a seat."Director Myers, I must say, your off-duty fashion is quite... unique."Charles Martin remarked with a chuckle as he eyed Lincoln’s outfit."Isn’t it? I think so, too!"Lincoln beamed with pride."This was a birthday gift from my grandson. He said wearing these overalls makes me look youthful and full of energy—like a strong and reliable man."Clearly, he was delighted by the compliment."Your grandson sounds like a very thoughtful young man."Charles Martin commented with a sigh."Of course! My family is blessed with children and grandchildren, all getting along harmoniously. We live in perfect peace, with filial sons and devoted grandkids."Lincoln Myers spoke with evident satisfaction."Right, Professor Martin, what exactly did you need to talk to me about?"He suddenly remembered the reason for their meeting."Yes, there’s something I’d like to discus

"Then let’s eat."Lincoln Myers said no more and resumed his meal without hesitation."Yes, yes, let’s eat!"Charles Martin quickly followed suit.Lincoln Myers ate with remarkable speed. Barely ten minutes later, he had already finished and was dabbing his mouth with a napkin."Professor Martin, I have to admit, this Joseph seems to have some real talent.""The first time I met him, he even claimed he could cure my baldness. Tell me—do you think he was joking, or could he actually pull it off?"As he spoke, Lincoln Myers absentmindedly touched his smooth scalp, feeling the cool sensation of his own bare skin.If given the choice, who would willingly embrace baldness?"Director Myers, please don’t take his nonsense seriously.""Baldness and the common cold—they’re both incurable. There’s no treatment, and there’s no need for one. Isn’t it great not having hair? You save money on shampoo and haircuts.""Look at me—I often find my thick, jet-black hair to be a hassle. I have to wash it

"Like hell I’m coming back!"Charles Martin cursed under his breath, his face dark as he stormed toward the exit.But just as he was about to step out, he overheard a voice behind him—"Manager, we got another sucker! Three thousand dollars for a broken pair of chopsticks!"Charles Martin stumbled, nearly face-planting on the ground. He took a deep breath, steadied himself, and hastened away from the scam restaurant.After leaving the restaurant, Lincoln Myers hailed a cab. Once inside, he pulled out his phone and made a call."Hello, Malcolm? Just a heads-up—Charles Martin wants to join the investigation team."Lincoln Myers said casually."Didn’t he refuse to join before? Why the sudden change of heart?"Malcolm Gray sounded puzzled."He says he wants to see the truth for himself. At first, I wasn’t keen on letting him in, but then I thought—he wants to investigate Joseph, but don’t we want to investigate him too?""Old Malcolm, I feel like we don’t know enough about this Professor

"Even from a short distance, you can catch a whiff of a strange, foul mixture of odors. It’s obvious this man is addicted to debauchery, steeped in nightlife excess. He’s riddled with various venereal diseases—he's utterly filthy.""So, it's best to stay as far away from people like him as possible. Many diseases are contagious," Joseph said with a faint smile."My grandfather once took me to dinner with his father, and he was there too. Was I in danger back then?" Alice asked, a flicker of fear crossing her face."It's not that serious. Most diseases of that nature require intimate contact to spread. A shared meal isn't enough. You’re perfectly healthy—there’s nothing to worry about.""But keeping your distance is still wise," Joseph added reassuringly."Phew, that's a relief," Alice exhaled deeply."Joseph, by what you’re saying, Raymond Kim doesn't have long to live," Alice said, half-joking but with a trace of genuine concern."Not necessarily that he'll die soon, but he’l

Even before the final bell, Joseph was already sitting in his car, waiting patiently for Alice. He sat quietly, glancing idly into the left rearview mirror—only to spot a few familiar figures reflected within.Seeing the situation, Joseph reached out and adjusted the rearview mirror, giving himself a clearer view of the people behind the car. At that moment, on the balcony of the First Teaching Building, a few students stood, their gazes cold and sharp, fixed on Joseph’s car.Joseph recognized them all. Leading the group was Raymond Kim, flanked by his ever-present sidekick—someone named Jonathan, if he recalled correctly. Another figure was Scrappy, a non-student who Joseph had once taught a painful lesson. University campuses were generally open spaces; unless someone behaved outrageously, outsiders wouldn't be barred entry.What surprised Joseph was the presence of Griffin Bailey, who had relentlessly pursued Heidi before. Yet, thinking it through, it made sense—both Griffin'

"What do you mean 'looks like'? That's clearly Mr. Wilson—my former brother-in-law, mind you!" After watching for a while, Heidi spoke with absolute certainty."Are you really that sure, Heidi?" A short-haired girl glanced at her, skeptical."Of course I am! I lived under the same roof with him for three years. I can recognize his speech patterns, his every little habit and gesture without even thinking. Even if there are many things about him that I don't fully understand, I'm too familiar with who he is. I can even recognize his scent the moment he gets close.""So yeah, I'm a hundred percent sure—that's my brother-in-law. Well... ex-brother-in-law," Heidi declared, her tone firm."Geez! Honestly, it sounds like those three years, Wilson wasn't married to your sister at all, but to you," Daphne teased, a strange feeling rising in her heart. The intimacy between Heidi and Joseph, the depth of her understanding of him, seemed almost excessive—far beyond what normal relatives or ev

"Hello? Uncle Mason? What’s the matter?"Joseph answered the call, taking the initiative to speak first."My dear future son-in-law, are you alone right now?"Mason Morgan’s voice came through the line, sounding a little secretive."Uh, yeah. I’m the only one in the office at the moment. Everyone else is off—some are teaching, some are in the lab, and others are running errands."Joseph glanced around before replying."Good, that’s perfect. I’ve got a rather private question for you."Mason sounded visibly relieved."Sure, Uncle Mason. Ask whatever you want."Joseph blinked in surprise, but responded casually."Remember how you said my body would recover most of its function within three days?"Mason began cautiously."I did say something to that effect, yes."Joseph nodded, recalling the conversation."You definitely said it. So I want to ask—were you being serious?"Mason pressed."Of course I was serious. If it comes out of my mouth, it’s the truth. I don’t make empty promises.""B

"Mr. Wilson, about that request you made earlier—to compile my wife's medical records—I stayed up last night and got it all done."Brady Rogers cleared his throat, his tone unusually eager."Oh? That fast? Where are the documents? Let me take a look."Joseph was a bit surprised—he hadn’t expected Rogers to be so efficient."Right here.""Please have a look, Mr. Wilson."As he spoke, Brady lifted a thick stack of folders from beneath his desk."Just leave it on my table. I’ll go through it and let you know."Joseph glanced at the pile of medical records and CT scans. Even skimming it would take considerable time."Much appreciated, Mr. Wilson."Brady placed the documents in front of Joseph but didn’t make any move to leave."Professor Rogers, you don't have to wait here. Go ahead with your work—no need to tire yourself out."Joseph noticed him standing stiffly in front of his desk and tried to persuade him."It’s alright, Mr. Wilson. I’d rather wait. I’m... quite anxious, honestly."Br

Under the comment posted by the user with the James profile picture, a flood of inquisitive netizens gathered, all eager to uncover the identity of the man whose piano performance had touched their hearts so deeply.After keeping everyone in suspense long enough, the user finally revealed the answer. "I’m a student at Nova University. This gentleman is our teacher—Mr. Joseph Wilson. At least, I’m fairly certain it’s him." "Whoa, no wonder! Turns out he’s a big shot from Nova University’s Music Department. That explains the brilliance. He made Butterfly Lovers sound like a divine symphony. 'Today I heard him speak through the pipa, and it felt like celestial music piercing the soul.'" "Actually, just to clarify, Mr. Joseph isn't from the Music Department. He’s the youngest faculty member in the Traditional Medicine Department—just joined less than a month ago," James replied again. "I’m also a student at Nova University. The person in the video does resemble Mr. Wilson, but not ent

"He didn’t say much—just asked me to remind you. Said it’s something important, and that you should come alone," Heidi continued."Alright then. It's getting late, and I’ve got an early class tomorrow. I should get some rest," Joseph replied."Okay, sleep well. Good night, brother-in-law," Heidi said sweetly.After exchanging goodnights, they both hung up.---The next morning, Joseph and Alice arrived at the university early.Joseph didn’t even stop by his office—he went straight to the classroom.By the time he finished teaching and returned to the office, Mason Alvarez, Felix Baker, and Brady Rogers were already there.Mason was busy working, while Felix and Brady were huddled together, whispering and seemingly engrossed in some intriguing discovery.They didn’t even notice when Joseph walked in."Mr. Wilson, I came in early today and still didn’t see you. Didn’t you have a morning class?" Mason was the first to speak."Exactly. I went straight to the classroom and skipped the offi

"I'm a doctor. Of course I know what it is," Joseph replied, clearly exasperated."As long as you know. Mr. Wilson, don’t you think I’m being especially considerate?" Mason sounded rather smug."Considerate? You’re the one who's been corrupting Alice," Joseph retorted."Corrupting her? Come on, she’s an adult. Do you really think she needs me to teach her this stuff?""I simply did what neither of you had the nerve to do. I know you’re both too shy to take the first step, so I gave you a little nudge.""Alice is a good girl. You're not planning on getting wild without protection, are you?"Mason's voice carried a sly undertone."Professor Alvarez, I’m not some irresponsible guy. You think I'd cross the line like that? I haven’t even touched her."Joseph tried to defend himself."Exactly, you haven't touched her—that is crossing the line. Not touching her is one kind of reckless. Touching her without protection is another. Know what I mean?"Mason looked like a seasoned veteran in such

"What is it? Why do I have to go to your room to see it?"Joseph raised a brow, intrigued."Just go take a shower first, alright? You’ll see."She urged him again, her tone playful."...Alright then."Joseph found it odd but didn’t press. He turned and made his way to his room.Back in his room, Joseph quickly gathered his change of clothes and headed into the bathroom.Outside, Alice was still happily munching away at her late-night feast.Joseph was still curious about what Alice wanted to show him, but figured he might as well shower first.By the time he came out, towel-drying his hair, Alice had just about finished eating."So, what was that thing you wanted to show me?" Joseph asked casually."Carry me to my room first, and I’ll show you." Alice spread her arms toward him expectantly.Joseph could only sigh and walk over.The moment he was close, Alice wrapped her arms tightly around his neck and locked her legs around his waist like a koala, clinging to him with no intention
