The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 46: I Love Being with You
“I can’t eat anymore, or I’ll be overeating.”Heidi suddenly realized the gravity of the situation.“Haven’t you already overeaten?”Fiona shot her a look.“Hehe, true. But even though bro-in-law’s gone, we can still drop by and mooch a meal from time to time.”“Sis, if you’re ever craving his cooking, I can take you along!”Heidi spoke with a mischievous smile.“Take me along? Is that really okay?”Fiona paused, surprised.“Why not? Bro-in-law’s not the type to be stingy.”Heidi shrugged nonchalantly.“No, I’d rather not. I don’t want to see him.”Fiona shook her head.“Alright.”“Oh yeah, sis, I heard that Charles Martin is back. He’s going to be teaching at Nova University. Has he reached out to you?”Heidi asked, remembering something.“He called, but we haven’t met up.”Fiona replied.“Sis, be careful dealing with him. He’s nothing like bro-in-law.”Heidi’s face suddenly grew serious, her tone biting.“You seem to have a strong opinion about him.”Fiona remarked, reading into her

But before he could, a sweet fragrance wafted from behind, and a pair of soft hands covered his eyes."What are you sneaking around for, not sleeping?"Joseph chuckled softly."How could a woman sleep soundly when her man is out late?"Alice's voice was playful, with a hint of mischief."Alright, enough fooling around. Let me turn on the lights."Joseph gently pried Alice’s hands from his eyes and, turning around, patted her head in the dark."Silly, the switch is over here. Let me do it."Alice giggled as she turned to switch the lights on. But before she could take two steps, a strong tug from behind yanked her back by her robe."Ah!"In an instant, she toppled backward toward Joseph.Reacting instinctively, Joseph caught her, and to prevent her from hitting the ground, he adjusted his fall so that Alice landed on top of him.With a sharp shriek, the emergency backup lights flickered on.Thud!Joseph ended up flat on the floor, with Alice sprawled on top of him."Joseph... are you o

Joseph was confused, unsure of what Alice was planning. She was always full of surprises."I won’t open the door unless you turn them off. If you don’t, I’ll stay in here and won’t come out."Alice’s tone suggested she was pouting, determined to get her way.Sighing, Joseph pulled out his phone and turned off all the lights."They’re off."In the darkness, Joseph spoke.Moments later, the door creaked open, and Alice stepped out. In the dim night, Joseph could just make out her shy expression."Joseph, I’ve heard that if a man suppresses his desires for too long, it’s bad for his health."Alice stood before him, her head slightly lowered, her face flushed red as she mustered the courage to speak.Joseph froze, his mind reeling. What on earth was Alice trying to say?"Well, medically speaking, it’s true that suppressing a man’s desires for too long isn’t good for his health."Joseph responded instinctively to Alice's words."Then... close your eyes!"Alice glanced at him nervously, her

"I’m going to bed now. We have class tomorrow. You should get some sleep too. We’ll go to school together in the morning."With that, Alice made a playful face at Joseph and disappeared into her room.Joseph glanced at his shoulder, noticing the bite mark had actually drawn blood. She hadn’t held back at all—it was a pretty vicious bite.He couldn’t help but wonder what promises he had made to her in the past that she had held onto for so long, while he himself had forgotten.Sighing, Joseph headed back to his room.Lying in bed, he replayed Alice’s words in his mind. Somewhere along the line, he drifted off into a deep sleep.---By seven the next morning, Joseph was up, preparing a hearty breakfast.Despite the lack of sleep, he didn’t feel much of an impact. He’d noticed for a while now that his body wasn’t like that of an ordinary person.He had more endurance and stamina. Even if he didn’t sleep for a few days, he still felt energetic.Alice was already at the table, devouring br
The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 50: Misunderstood Massage
Alice glanced at the time. “Looks like it’s about time to go. Shall we head out?”“Alright, let’s go,” Joseph nodded, grabbing his things and heading for the door.“Hey, Joseph, about that massage you mentioned earlier—do we still have time for it? If not, it’s okay,” Alice asked as they got into the car, suddenly remembering his earlier promise.“Of course, we have time. I made sure to leave a little extra. It won’t take long.”“Come over here and lie down on the seat,” Joseph instructed, rolling up the windows and reclining the back seats. Thankfully, the car had enough space in the back; otherwise, it would’ve been a tight fit.“Alright,” Alice said obediently, climbing into the back and lying down as instructed.“Uh... Joseph, do I need to take off my clothes?” she asked innocently.Cough. “No, no need for that. This is just a quick massage, no need to get too formal,” Joseph replied, slightly flustered.“So for a formal massage, I’d have to take them off? I kind of want to try th
The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 51: I Would Never Let Joseph Get Hurt
"You’re absolutely right. Men may seem tough, but certain damage is irreversible.""My sister here speaks from experience. You’d better think carefully—it's one good meal, not a feast every time!"The two women spoke with increasing enthusiasm, leaving Alice no chance to interrupt. Her face burned with frustration."Aunties, I—"Alice tried once more, only to be cut off again."Say no more, dear. We’re off now. Don’t mind us being nosy."With a final word, the two women bustled away, leaving Alice stomping her foot in frustration."It’s not what you think!"She was both mortified and furious—how could a simple massage be so easily misunderstood?"Alice, come on. Don’t worry about them."Joseph, having overheard the entire exchange, couldn’t help but smile."Ugh! This is so infuriating. It’s nothing like what they think. They just jump to conclusions and don’t even give you a chance to explain.""Honestly, how can people like that exist?"Alice muttered indignantly as she climbed into

"What's going on over there? Why are so many people gathered?"Joseph glanced toward the school gates, where a large group of students was crowded around the notice board, discussing something animatedly."I’m not sure. The math department’s building is near the west gate, and that notice board is specifically for math department announcements."Alice followed his gaze, her curiosity piqued."Is that so?"Joseph raised an eyebrow."Let’s go check it out."Alice, normally not one to get involved in crowds, suddenly felt a surge of interest. It seemed that since Joseph entered her life, even the most mundane things had taken on a new sparkle.Sometimes, things that seem dull when done alone can be entirely different when shared with someone else.Grabbing Joseph’s arm, Alice led him toward the crowd.A group of students had gathered around the notice board, engaged in animated discussions. At the front of the group stood several professors, their faces weary from lack of sleep, their ey

"This crowd is ridiculous."Heidi stood on her tiptoes, trying to see what was happening, but the mass of people blocked her view.However, Heidi was not one to give up easily. She began pushing the slimmer boys out of her way, dragging Fiona along as she muscled her way to the front. The boys, already wary of her reputation, parted to make room for her without protest."Hey, what’s going on here? What are you all staring at?"Heidi grabbed a boy by the collar, her voice sharp.The boy, upon realizing it was Heidi, immediately wilted, his bravado vanishing."Uh… well, they say a student or a professor came up with a new proof for a world-class math problem. The proof is posted here—it’s all handwritten, and the writing is really beautiful."The boy stammered, his voice trembling with fear."Oh? So, can you even understand it?"Heidi glanced at the handwritten proof on the notice board, then turned her gaze back to the boy."Uh... no, not really. I’m not in the math department. How cou
