2024-09-12 22:54:31"What does it have to do with you?" Blake Morgan was the first to reply.
"Grandpa is right. What does it have to do with you?" Alice also replied in the group.
Seeing their responses, Mason Morgan was speechless and could only send a series of question marks in the group to express his astonishment.
"Dad, although you have the final say in Alice's matters, and I trust your judgment, I should at least know what kind of man my daughter is going to marry, right? I'll find time to go over and take a look after a while. There are too many things going on here in Metropolis City at the moment. @Blake Morgan," after a long time, Mason Morgan sent another lengthy message.
"Do as you wish. It's not like you can change anything anyway," Blake Morgan said rather domineeringly.
"Dad, you're overthinking. It's only just beginning now!" Alice was obviously a bit exasperated too.
After replying, Alice put down her phone.
"Why aren't you eating yet?" At this moment, Joseph also came out from the kitchen. He placed the last dish on the table.
"Ah? I was waiting for you! I thought about it and felt it wasn't quite right to start eating alone," Alice was slightly stunned, then answered.
"Try it. No need to be so formal," Joseph picked up a piece of cheese steak for Alice, making her feel a sense of bliss.
"Thank you," Alice expressed her gratitude, then took a bite.
However, after just one bite, her expression changed, and she instantly froze.
"Um, how is it? Not tasty?" Joseph noticed Alice's unusual expression and asked.
However, Alice didn't answer. Instead, she picked up two more pieces and started eating.
"If it's not tasty, don't force yourself. Try something else?" Joseph blinked and suggested.
"Joseph, what are you saying? What do you mean by not tasty? It's too delicious! How can it be so delicious? This is the most delicious cheese steak I've ever eaten. It's simply too good."
"I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to eat first. It's too delicious," Alice couldn't wait to start eating. She was already a bit hungry, and with such delicacies in front of her, she found it even harder to control herself.
"This is delicious!"
"Oh, this is delicious too."
"This one, this one, even more delicious."
"Wow, this is the most delicious. It's too good."
As she ate, Alice kept praising Joseph endlessly.
Hearing this, Joseph felt a bit unreal. Was it really that delicious?
"Isn't this just an ordinary home-cooked meal? Is it really that delicious?" Joseph smiled awkwardly. Was this girl just teasing him?
"Joseph, you're being too humble. Whew, even the top chefs in my family can't make dishes as delicious as yours."
"Joseph, be more confident. You're really amazing and awesome," Alice continued to praise him while not stopping her hands from eating.
Joseph smiled and started eating too.
Alice ate more dishes, while Joseph ate more rice. Since childhood, Joseph had always had a huge appetite.
After about an hour, Alice was finally full. Although Joseph had a large appetite, he was already full at this point.
"If it's not enough, I can make more for you," Joseph noticed Alice's lingering desire for more.
"Ah? No, no. I can't eat anymore. Really can't eat anymore," Alice quickly responded.
She seemed to have been eating a bit like a wolf just now, not very ladylike. Would Joseph dislike her?
Thinking about this, Alice felt a bit uneasy.
"That's good then," Joseph smiled.
"Joseph, I don't usually eat so unladylike. Do you prefer gentler girls?" Alice asked tentatively.
"You just need to be the way you like. It doesn't matter what kind of girls I like," Joseph chuckled.
"How can that be? That's too casual," Alice shook her head.
"Then let me put it another way. I like all your ways," Joseph said with a smile.
"Ah? Are you serious?" When Joseph said this, Alice's pretty face instantly turned red. She turned around and fled back to her room.
Joseph watched Alice's departing figure and just laughed. She was already eighteen years old, yet still like a child.
After Alice left, Joseph began to clean up.
Back in her room, it took a long time for Alice's burning heart to cool down.
"So, Joseph likes me too. Does that mean we have mutual feelings?" Alice lay on the bed, hugging her big plush doll, talking to herself.
Suddenly, she thought of something, grabbed her phone, dialed Blake Morgan's number, and called.
Before long, the call was answered.
"Hello, Alice. How is it going? Have you arranged everything?" Blake Morgan's voice came from the other end of the line.
"Of course. It's not a difficult task. I've settled Joseph in," Alice replied.
"So, what's the matter? Calling grandpa so late?" Blake Morgan asked again.
"There's nothing in particular. I just wanted to tell you that Joseph's cooking skills are really good, much better than those top chefs in our family," Alice couldn't stop praising Joseph's culinary skills.
"Hahaha... Is that so? Now I want to taste it even more."
"However, I can't fully trust your opinion on it being delicious because, in the eyes of someone you love, even their flaws are virtues," Blake Morgan couldn't help but tease.
"What do you mean by 'someone you love'? My relationship with Joseph is not certain yet!" Alice said this, but her heart was happy.
"I remember three years ago, when Joseph married into the Cooper family, someone in our family hid and cried for a day and night, with swollen eyes."
"She even said Joseph Wilson had promised to marry her and that Joseph wasn't a man of his word," Blake Morgan teased again.
"Grandpa, you... Always teasing people. I won't talk to you anymore," Alice's pretty face turned slightly red, unable to keep a straight face. After exchanging a few pleasantries with Blake Morgan, she hung up the phone.
After hanging up, Alice opened F******k and found that her update had exploded with 99 comments.
Moreover, when she opened it, she saw that all 99 comments on the update were from the food photos she had just posted, mostly from boys.
"Alice, who is this man? He's not your boyfriend, is he?"
"Alice, are you in a relationship? Which family's young master is this?"
"Joseph? Who is Joseph?"
"Fuck, if he becomes your boyfriend, I'll kill him..."
"Hehe... Don't let me see this guy in Nova City. Every time I see him, I'll beat him up twice..."
Alice read the comments for a while. They were all a mess.

“Of course we kill them.”“These assassins are vicious. The last time they slipped into Nova City, quite a few civilians lost their lives.”“The bastards are madmen—madmen with terrifying strength.”“The surest way to keep Nova City stable and prevent any leaks is to send every last one of those sons of bitches straight to hell.”Old Ortiz spoke with righteous fury.“Old Ortiz is right.”“Our strength alone is nowhere near enough.”“It wasn’t enough last time, and it certainly won’t be enough now.”“This time, our mission remains the same—to coordinate with the Nova City police.”“But there’s a difference. We’ll also need to work alongside another group.”“Only with all three parties acting in concert can Nova City survive this crisis.”“As for who this other group is—I don’t need to spell it out. You already know.”Clarence Bennett spoke pointedly.“Working with another group isn’t the issue.”“The issue is, old Bennett, how can you be sure they’ll act?”“We can’t base our battle pla

“As long as the request isn’t unreasonable, I would agree to it.”Joseph replied almost at once.“And marrying you—becoming your woman—would that count as unreasonable?”Heidi pressed.“I can’t generalize. It would depend on the circumstances.”“You know as well as I do that my situation is… complicated. Marriage, at the very least, requires affection. Mutual love matters.”Joseph answered with deliberate caution.“Then what about us? Would you say we’re mutually in love?”Heidi asked bluntly.“What do you think?”He countered.“I like you. Do you like me?”She refused to let him evade.“Can’t you feel the answer yourself?”Joseph replied with another question.“Hmph. You’re deliberately dancing around it, aren’t you? Typical man—cunning as an old fox.”Heidi huffed.“Go get some rest. I’m heading for a shower.”Joseph said.“Oh, I haven’t showered either. I’ll go now.”After a brief exchange of goodnights, the conversation ended.Heidi lay flat on her bed and let out a soft breath.“

“Then they would marry, of course.”Old Mr. Cooper answered as though it were the most natural conclusion in the world.“And what about the Morgan family? Even if their eldest daughter agreed, would the family itself consent?”Heidi pressed.“It wouldn’t be their place to object. If the Morgan family refused, the Cooper family would step forward.”“Even back then, I accepted the Morgan family’s proposal and allowed their daughter to form an alliance with Joseph.”“You must understand—someone like Joseph does not enter into marriage as a mere union between himself and a woman. His marriage represents the convergence of two powers, the merging of mutual interests.”“Do you see what I’m saying?”Old Mr. Cooper spoke plainly.“So by that logic, my sister married him for the sake of interests. And when you encouraged me and my brother-in-law… that too was for the same reason?”Heidi’s thoughts felt tangled.“You could interpret it that way.”“But your situation is different. You and Joseph

“No, really. There’s nothing.”Heidi forced an awkward smile.“What could you possibly be hiding from me? Honestly.”Fiona shot her a look of disdain, set down her bag, and poured herself a glass of water.Heidi fidgeted for a moment, rustling about.“Fine, look. This is what I was hiding.”From somewhere behind her back, she produced two small packs of sanitary pads.“It’s that time of the month. You know how it is. Surely you don’t need to inspect these too.”She put on an exaggeratedly pitiful expression.“It’s just pads. What’s there to be embarrassed about? You’re a grown woman. Periods are perfectly normal.”Fiona couldn’t help but roll her eyes.“By the way, sis, can I ask you something?”Heidi quickly tucked the items away again.“What is it? Go on.”Fiona sat down.“Back then, if my brother-in-law had found the owner of the other bell… what would have happened?”Heidi asked carefully, her meaning layered beneath the words.“If he had found her, he probably would have granted

“I think… there was only one?”“It’s been so long, I honestly don’t remember.”“But I’m certain my mom told me they came as a pair!”Lillian Morvek said, her tone uncertain.Heidi fell into deep thought.Which meant that when Lillian was seven and she herself was eight, the other bell had already been lost—and that lost bell had somehow ended up in Joseph’s hands.In other words, she must have met Joseph before she turned eight.More than a decade had passed since then.She had only been a child—whatever she did back then would have been pure instinct.No wonder she couldn’t remember.No wonder the first time Joseph came to her house, she had felt an inexplicable warmth toward him, a strange and undeniable familiarity.Of course.Of course.As the realization settled in, everything became clear.The little girl Joseph had been searching for all these years—was her.It had been her all along.“What’s wrong with you? Why are you staring into space like that?”Lillian asked, puzzled.“T

“It’s nothing expensive—just a few little trinkets.”Lillian Morvek said this with a bright, playful smile.“Tsk, tsk. Why did you bring him a gift but not me?”Heidi looked thoroughly perplexed.“I did bring you something! The lipstick, remember? It cost me over five hundred!”Lillian gestured emphatically, her face full of mock heartbreak.Her family circumstances were nowhere near as affluent as Heidi’s. When it came to allowance money, she simply couldn’t compare.The Morveks were an ordinary family with a modest business—comfortable, perhaps, but nothing remarkable. Compared to the Cooper family, they were worlds apart. It was precisely for this reason that Maria Long had always looked down on them.“Oh, right. I almost forgot.”Heidi blinked, suddenly remembering.“You really are my favorite cousin.”With that, she threw her arms around Lillian.“Hey—can’t breathe—I'm dying!”Lillian struggled dramatically, and within seconds the two of them were wrestling and laughing like chil
