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.

Hearing the question, Neil Foster and Brian Adams exchanged another glance.“It seems you’ve already remembered quite a lot,” Brian Adams said, taking the lead.Although he did not answer Joseph’s question directly, his words were, in effect, an answer.“So my mentor truly still has other family?” Joseph frowned, his hands tightening into clenched fists.Once again, the image of the little girl from his dreams surfaced—the despair, the helplessness, the quiet sorrow that clung to her.What had she gone through to leave such an impression?“Young Master, may we explain everything to you step by step?” Neil Foster asked after a moment’s contemplation.“Yes. But today, I must have an answer,” Joseph said firmly.“Young Master, let us speak in the inner room,” Neil Foster said, gesturing politely as he led the way.Before long, the three of them entered a room that appeared to be a private reception lounge. Neil Foster poured each of them a glass of water, unhurried and composed.“I’m c

The two receptionists at the front desk were striking in both looks and figure—the kind of beauty that lingered in one’s memory after a single glance.However, Joseph was accustomed to being around women like Alice, Mason Alvarez, and Heidi—exceptional beauties in every sense.Compared to them, such ordinary attractiveness hardly drew his attention.“You’re looking for someone?” The long?legged receptionist in black stockings paused in surprise.“I’m here to see Brian Adams,” Joseph replied.At the sound of the name, the two receptionists exchanged a look, instantly understanding something unspoken.“Are you Mr. Joseph?” one of them asked.“I am,” Joseph answered.“Please follow me, Mr. Joseph.”One of the receptionists stepped forward, gestured politely, and led the way.Joseph followed without hesitation.After walking for a short while, he studied the woman’s gait from behind, a flicker of surprise passing through his eyes.Her steps were unusually light—far too fluid for an ordi

“Not at all. Your health was already good to begin with. Medicine isn’t omnipotent,” Joseph replied modestly.The meal passed in warm harmony. It had been a long time since so many people had gathered around the same table in this household.After dinner, Joseph conducted a brief checkup on Old Mr. Cooper and found no issues of concern.He stayed a while longer, chatting with Old Mr. and Old Miss Cooper, before finally taking his leave from the Cooper family.Heidi, as always, was reluctant to part with him and insisted on seeing him all the way to the door.At some point, he wasn’t sure when it had started, but the girl had grown especially attached to him.She used to be just a little girl. Now she had become a stunning young woman. Time truly flew.Driving home, Joseph watched the congested traffic stream past his window, his thoughts wandering.Looking back on the past three or four years, most of his time with Heidi had been filled with laughter and ease.She was warm, sincere, a

“What I know more about concerns the secrets of the Cooper family. As for the little girl in your dreams, you should ask Brian Adams about her.”“What I can tell you, however, is that your mentor did have other family members. He was never alone in this world.”“Your mentor is your family. And your mentor’s family, naturally, is your family as well.”Old Mr. Cooper spoke earnestly, his tone heavy with unspoken concerns.“I understand.”Joseph lowered his head slightly. As the image of the little girl from his dreams surfaced again, the urgency, despair, and aching pain in his heart grew even more distinct.“As for your mentor’s family background, it would be better for you to ask Brian Adams. They had intended to tell you everything from the beginning, and I believe they are already prepared.”Old Mr. Cooper thought for a moment before continuing.“That was exactly my plan,” Joseph replied with a nod.“One more thing,” Old Mr. Cooper reminded him. “No matter what you remember, you mus

“Alright,” Joseph replied casually.With that, Fiona took the lead, and Joseph followed after her.Fiona’s residence was only a few steps away from old Mr. Cooper’s recovery room, so they arrived almost at once.“The old gentleman’s condition should be quite good by now, shouldn’t it?” Joseph asked offhandedly.“He can bathe on his own now,” Fiona replied with a soft smile.“His walking still isn’t steady, but he can manage. After walking for a while, he just needs to rest.”“For safety, I’ve arranged for some attendants to stay close to him.”“That means his recovery is going very well,” Joseph said thoughtfully.“The speed of his recovery far exceeds my expectations.”“It’s largely thanks to his strong physical foundation. For most people, after such a severe injury, recovery itself would be difficult.”“Grandpa’s constitution is one thing,” Fiona said sincerely,“but more importantly, it’s because of you. With any other doctor, the results wouldn’t have been nearly this good.”Jose

“Sure. I’ll need some paper and a pen,” Joseph said readily.“Waiter, could we borrow some paper and a pen?” Lincoln Myers called out toward the door of the private room.A moment later, the waiter came in, and before long, Lincoln Myers had the requested items.Joseph took the paper and pen and immediately began writing.“Professor Wilson really does write prescriptions as effortlessly as breathing,” Malcolm Gray remarked, watching Joseph’s pen fly across the page.“How many medicinal materials and formulas must you have memorized?”“Traditional medicine—its materials, properties, principles, and formulas—is extremely complex,” Joseph replied as he wrote.“Remembering all of it took a great deal of time.”“And I still review it periodically. Otherwise, things fade.”“Fortunately, much of it follows internal logic and structure. Once you grasp those patterns, memorization becomes far less daunting.”“Professor Wilson, who is this prescription for?” Lincoln Myers asked curiously.“Judg
