“Alright, see you at lunch.” Joseph replied with a smile.After that, the conversation paused.Joseph glanced at the time—there was still a bit left before his next class. Just as he was about to set his phone down, two new notifications popped up on Facebook.He opened them and saw they were from Heidi.“Happy birthday, brother-in-law!” “Here’s a big red envelope for you.” “Yesterday was your birthday, right? I didn’t forget~ 🙄”She had sent three messages and transferred 9,999 yuan.Joseph didn’t accept it right away.“It’s okay if you forgot.”He chuckled as he typed.“I didn’t forget! I just didn’t want to interrupt your candlelit dinner with your childhood sweetheart.” “Aren’t I super considerate? 🙄”Heidi replied almost instantly.“You silly thing, it’s fine even if you did interrupt. I forgot my own birthday until Alice reminded me.” “I’ll accept your red envelope now.”Joseph tapped “accept” and sent his reply.“Oh, I see!” “We used to go out for something delicious on

"Why are you carrying that? Going to wash it?" Joseph asked, raising an eyebrow at her tiptoeing steps."No! I'm... I'm keeping it." Alice’s cheeks turned bright red as she spoke, her tone stubborn.To Joseph, she looked a little upset.Did I hurt her last night? He wondered, guilt creeping in."Alright then, hang onto it," Joseph replied gently, remembering some traditional habits surrounding such things.Alice blushed even harder and darted back into her room.Watching her flee, Joseph sighed. Women really were hard to read sometimes.Still, as the minutes ticked by and Alice didn’t come out, Joseph began to feel uneasy. He walked over and knocked lightly on her door."Sweetheart, breakfast is ready.""You okay? Did I upset you somehow?""Ah? Joseph, no! Just give me a second!" Alice’s voice quickly rang out from behind the door.Joseph let out a breath of relief. He knew Alice wasn’t the type to throw tantrums without reason. Ever since they’d been together, she’d never once l

His voice trembled.And Alice?She didn’t answer—just smiled, her eyes shining with something deeper than words."Joseph, I want to be truly yours."Alice lifted her lashes slightly, her gaze lingering on Joseph’s chiseled features. Her voice was soft, but serious.“Are you sure about this, sweetheart?” Joseph asked gently, brushing his fingers over Alice’s warm, blushing cheek. His eyes were filled with a deep, burning tenderness.“Mm-hmm.”Feeling the warmth of his touch, Alice responded with a delicate nod. Her lashes fluttered, and she slowly closed her eyes.With that quiet confirmation, Joseph exhaled deeply. In one swift motion, he gathered Alice into his arms.Alice nestled against him, her eyes still closed, surrendering to his embrace.And when everything was finally unveiled, all the restraint and composure Joseph had built up over the years came crashing down.Alice clung tightly to his neck, responding to him with a fiery passion of her own.Her heart raced, her mind bla

Puzzled, Joseph pulled out his keys and unlocked the door.The moment he stepped inside, darkness greeted him. He instinctively reached for the light switch—but before he could touch it, a soft glow flickered to life in the center of the living room.Candlelight.The flames danced gently, slowly illuminating Alice’s porcelain face, her eyes bright with joy.“Joseph, happy birthday! You silly thing—of course you forgot it was today.”Alice stood there with a cake in her hands, beaming.At that moment, soft lights around the room began to glow, casting a warm ambiance over everything.“Thank you…” Joseph blinked, stunned, then reached out and ruffled Alice’s hair.“Silly Joseph, it’s been years since anyone celebrated your birthday, hasn’t it?” Alice looked up at him, her eyes shimmering with emotion, as if she could feel the loneliness he’d hidden for so long.“Well, you’re celebrating it now, aren’t you?” Joseph smiled as he took the cake from her and set it gently on the table.

Inside the holding cell, aside from Raymond’s outbursts, the others kept their heads down, avoiding Joseph’s gaze.“If I’m not mistaken, we’ve met once or twice before,” Joseph said icily, eyes sweeping over the four young men.He remembered Scrappy well—he’d taught him a hard lesson once, and had shown mercy then. Had he gone all out, Scrappy would’ve been bedridden for months.As for Griffin Bailey, Joseph was even more familiar with him—Heidi’s fervent admirer. He hadn’t expected Griffin to be running with this crowd.Birds of a feather flock together.Jonathan, Raymond’s ever-present sidekick, also rang a bell.None of them dared meet Joseph’s eyes.“Mr. Wilson... we were wrong. Please, just this once, forgive us.”Raymond gritted his teeth as he spoke, still clinging to some semblance of pride.“Yes, Mr. Wilson, my son was one of your students,” Howard Kim quickly added.“He is not my student. If someone like him were in my class, he’d receive double the punishment.”“And this is

"Howard Kim, I have to hand it to you. Your son’s already in custody, and you don’t even know what he did. You're here making a scene without a clue—no wonder your son turned out the way he did," Blake said icily."This..." Howard rolled his eyes and fell silent, lost for words. For some reason, seeing Blake Morgan here gave him an ominous feeling."Old Mr. Morgan, my boy... he didn’t offend you, did he?"He suddenly had a terrible suspicion."What do you think? Instead of wasting time questioning me, why don’t you go find out the truth inside—or better yet, ask your son yourself."Blake’s voice was frosty.Swallowing hard, Howard Kim walked inside and approached a short, stout police officer handling the case."Officer, what exactly did my son do? He’s always been obedient and well-behaved. How could he possibly have broken the law?""You should take a look for yourself.""Are you sure you know your son as well as you think?""What kind of well-behaved kid spends every night at Trium
