“Mr. Zasit met the love of his life when they were just sixteen. At the time, he was penniless but hopelessly devoted to music.”“She supported his dream unconditionally. To make ends meet, she worked tirelessly, taking on odd jobs just to feed him.”“But when he finally achieved fame and success, tragedy struck—she fell gravely ill and passed away in his arms. He watched helplessly as the light faded from her eyes.”“Mr. Wilson’s music stirred memories long buried deep within him, transporting him back to those difficult yet beautiful days. For a fleeting moment, he saw her radiant smile again.”“That’s why he lost control of his emotions. He asked me to express his sincerest apologies to everyone here.”With those words, the host concluded Zasit’s story and bowed respectfully to the audience.The hall erupted once more in thunderous applause.Off to the side, Lewis Craig stood frozen, his face contorted in embarrassment. He gritted his teeth.What the hell just happened? How is this

"Thank you for the offer, Mr. Zasit," Joseph said with a faint, bitter smile, "but I’m afraid I must decline.""I have a deep love for music, but the piano is only a hobby for me. I’ve never intended to pursue it as a lifelong career."The host translated Joseph’s response in real time, and Zasit’s face registered visible shock."Oh! What a pity," Zasit exclaimed, stunned. "You possess extraordinary talent. You should be shining on the world's grandest stages."He was clearly taken aback. It was hard for him to imagine anyone turning down his invitation."Is he insane? Do you know how many musicians would kill for such an opportunity?""If Zasit ever recognized me, I'd probably laugh myself awake from the dream.""Still, I suppose Mr. Wilson has earned the right to choose. If Zasit himself calls him gifted beyond compare, how many people in this world could match that praise?"The crowd buzzed with astonishment and admiration.“My performance is over, and I’ve done what I came here to

“Huh? What did you say? Joseph can play the piano? How come I didn’t know that?”Alice’s voice was filled with genuine surprise.“You didn’t know either?”Mason Alvarez was equally taken aback. Joseph might have forgotten things, but Alice—his childhood friend—surely wouldn’t be unaware.After all, the two of them had grown up together.“Nope, I had no idea! But honestly, Joseph knows so many things, it wouldn’t surprise me if he could do anything.”“And he’s always been so low-key. Unless absolutely necessary, he never shows off his talents.”“Ugh, this Butterfly Lovers performance was so beautiful... and he’s never played a single note for me!” Alice grumbled, clearly annoyed.“The concert’s almost over. You’ll be getting your man back soon,” Mason quickly replied.“You better be right. [Bored.jpg]”Alice sent back a curt message, and Mason didn’t reply further.Just then, a waiter finally arrived with hot water. Joseph took a few sips and felt much better.“Mr. Wilson, it’s almost

Before long, the table was covered with dishes.In truth, Mason Alvarez had already eaten quite a bit earlier, snacking on all sorts of things. Now, she only picked at a few bites before deciding she’d had enough. After about half an hour, she asked the waiter to pack up the remaining food for Joseph to take home.“Mr. Wilson, your car’s parked near the plaza, right? How about we walk back through the pedestrian street?”Mason suggested casually.“What else would we do, call a cab for five minutes of walking?” Joseph shot her a look.“Then let’s take it slow. It’s still early, and this area isn’t far from where your little sweetheart and I both live.”Mason skipped ahead with a cheerful grin.It was peak night market hours and the pedestrian street was bustling with people. Stalls lined both sides, offering every kind of street food imaginable.Mason wandered from one to the next, her eyes lighting up at every new snack.“Mr. Wilson, look! There’s a dart game over there. Let’s go play
The Rise of the Son-in-law After Divorce Chapter 346
Joseph’s dart shot through the air like a streak of silver light.Thud!With a sharp snap, it embedded itself deep into the spinning wheel. The moment it struck, the wheel froze in place.The dart had landed precisely in the red zone.The crowd around the stall gasped, stunned into silence.“Boss, does that mean I get to take the bunny home now?” Joseph asked with a grin.“This... this can’t be real…” the vendor stammered, momentarily speechless.“Was that really a bullseye? Am I seeing things?”“No, you’re not. He nailed it—one shot, dead center.”“My God… are there really men in this world who are that accurate?”The onlookers were in complete disbelief. To say he’d do it in one throw—and then actually do it? It was surreal.“Mr. Wilson, did you really hit it with just one dart?” Mason Alvarez rubbed her eyes, still unable to believe it.“What do you think?” Joseph replied, clearly amused by her expression.“If I’m not hallucinating, then yes… one dart. You nailed it.” Mason shook h

“Nothing really,” Clarence Bennett said, scratching his head with a sheepish smile. “Just saw a familiar face and wanted to say hi.”“But you seemed like you were in a hurry, as if something important was going on,” Joseph replied with a faint smile.“Did I?” Clarence chuckled awkwardly. “You two were walking so fast, I could barely keep up.”Joseph raised an eyebrow, clearly unconvinced.“To be honest, Mr. Wilson, you remind me of someone I used to know.”“You remember last time, I asked if you had any military experience?”“I remember,” Joseph said calmly. “And I already answered that question.”“Maybe I was just hoping too much,” Clarence admitted. “You’re just so much like him. But how could someone forget whether they served or not?”“I’ve forgotten a lot of things. Much of my past is just... blank.”Joseph’s tone was light, but distant.“You know, you’re really nosy,” Mason Alvarez suddenly cut in, her voice sharp. “Mr. Wilson clearly isn’t that close to you, yet you keep asking

After leaving the night market, Joseph and Mason Alvarez strolled down a quiet street. It was still a bit of a walk back to where they had parked. They had wandered quite far without realizing it."Mr. Wilson, are you out of your mind? That guy was throwing questions at you left and right—didn't that strike you as suspicious? How could you just share your personal information with a total stranger?""Especially things like your phone number, ID number, and other personal details—you should never reveal those to anyone.""These days, society’s a mess. Who knows what someone might do with that kind of information?"Mason walked steadily along the road, speaking in a casual tone."I know," Joseph replied with a nod."Then why did you do it?"Mason shot him a disbelieving look."Because I didn’t think he was a bad person. He had this air about him—stern, principled. He said he was a soldier, fresh off the battlefield."Joseph smiled faintly as he spoke."You can sense someone’s aura? He

"Uh... it's not bad," Joseph replied, a little stiffly.After all, honesty counts, right? How could anyone possibly say such soft, smooth hands didn’t feel nice to hold?"Do you want to keep holding them?" Mason Alvarez bit her lip and glanced sideways at him."That might not be appropriate..." Joseph looked uncomfortable, as if he were the one taking advantage."I don’t mind. So what’s inappropriate?" Mason rolled her eyes at him. Was this Wilson teacher really that clueless?Most men would kill for the chance to get close to her, and here he was, looking like he was doing her a disservice. The world was full of guys trying to take advantage of her, and yet this one — the one she offered it to — looked like he’d rather run."Alice is my girlfriend now. It just feels... wrong," Joseph said plainly, his conscience clearly weighing on him."Hey, hey, what are you talking about? She approved this, okay? I wouldn’t do anything sneaky behind her back.""You make it sound like I’m the

“Darling, I swear, you look younger today. Not just younger—you’re glowing. Your skin is so soft and radiant, just like an eighteen-year-old girl.”Mason Morgan’s eyes burned with desire as he spoke.“Oh, stop it! You always know how to sweet-talk me. Don’t exaggerate—it’s just that I slept well last night, so I look a bit more refreshed today.”Molly gave a playful pout, her expression full of charm and warmth. Mason’s heart ignited with affection at the sight.Unable to resist, he reached out and pulled Molly into his arms.“Mason, what are you trying to do now?”A hint of panic flashed across Molly’s face.“What do you think?”Mason leaned in, his breath brushing her ear, his voice low and teasing.“Mason, not now. We don’t have time—we need to take the kid to school.”“Alright, be good. Let’s save it for tonight, okay? Tonight, you can do whatever you want.”Molly’s cheeks turned crimson as she gently pushed him away.“You said it!”Mason’s eyes lit up with anticipation.“Come on

As soon as they entered the room, Mason Morgan tossed Molly onto the bed and shut the door behind him with a swift motion."Mason, no! Not like this!""Mason, could you at least slow down? I’m not ready yet!""Does something like this really need preparation? Darling, I feel like my body has undergone a transformation—like an old tree sprouting new buds!""Tonight, no matter what, I have to show you what I’m truly capable of. You've waited long enough."Their voices, hushed and urgent, drifted from within the bedroom.Then came a series of soft, rhythmic sounds, strange and intimate.Half an hour passed before the room finally fell silent.The lights flickered on.Mason lay half-reclined on the bed, while Molly nestled tightly against his chest. Her eyes shimmered with satisfaction, her cheeks still flushed with lingering passion, a light sheen of sweat glistening on her forehead.She traced lazy circles on Mason’s chest with her fingertip, a dreamy smile tugging at her lips. Her gaze

"Uncle Mason, do you think I'm stupid? It clearly says 'Marriage Certificate' on it. I can read, you know."Leah spoke with her usual bluntness.Mason Morgan was momentarily speechless, a shadow passing over his face.This child, he thought. No wonder her mother beats her every day—she's too straightforward for her own good."What Uncle Mason means is," Mason tried to explain patiently, "that your mom and I went to get this certificate today. That makes us husband and wife. Do you understand what that means?""Of course I do. What's there not to understand? You two left these red booklets here on purpose, didn’t you? Hoping I'd see them.""You could’ve just shown me outright. It’s not like I’d object to you getting married. I've always been fine with it."Leah flipped through the two red booklets on the table with an indifferent air."Leah, at such a special moment, don’t you have anything to say to us?"Mason gestured as he spoke, hoping for something more mature from her. Leah had a

"I don’t know what the future holds. What makes this difficult isn’t the politics between the Cooper and Morgan families…""It’s the feelings I carry inside me.""I’ll face whatever comes next. I’ll accept the outcome of the game between your grandfather and Old Mr. Cooper. But I’ll also respect your feelings—and stay true to my own."Joseph exhaled slowly, burdened with the weight of decisions he never thought he’d have to make."Aiya, Joseph, stop looking so gloomy. No frowning allowed—smile for me!"Alice tilted her head up, her delicate hands reaching out to pinch Joseph’s cheeks into a forced grin."I didn’t scold you or blame you for anything, so why the long face?""But you have to promise me—no more catching feelings for random women out there.""I’m not the kind of woman who tolerates that nonsense."She pouted slightly, her tone half stern, half playful."Ahem… That won’t happen. Honestly, even just dealing with everything right now has already been overwhelming.""I’m someo

Faced with Alice’s intense gaze, Joseph found himself at a loss for words."Ahem… I’m just afraid I’ll do something… irrational."He cleared his throat, trying to maintain composure."So what if it’s irrational? You still have to eat the cookie."Alice pressed a cookie to his lips, and Joseph had no choice but to obey.He had only meant to eat a cookie, but with Alice involved, that simple act inevitably turned into a playful torment.And truth be told, despite the struggle to resist, the softness of her lips was something he couldn’t quite forget."Alright, I’ll stop teasing you now."Alice remained on his lap, but as she shifted slightly, she suddenly became acutely aware of the firmness beneath her. Her cheeks flushed crimson in an instant, and a flicker of fear crept into her eyes.She was afraid that if she kept pushing, Joseph might lose control and pin her right there on the sofa.When it came to the intimacy between a man and a woman, she was both scared and curious. Just thin

Joseph couldn't help but grow curious about what “something really good” meant in Alice’s world.This girl… always being mysterious, he thought with a smirk."What’s the surprise? Can’t you give me a hint?"He texted her back."Nope! You have to come home and see for yourself. Hurry up—I’m waiting!"Alice replied almost instantly.Joseph stared at her message, lost in thought. After a moment, he started the engine and drove toward home.After Alice’s teasing message, Joseph couldn’t help but feel a bit flustered. Curiosity gnawed at him—what exactly was the “surprise” she mentioned?Fueled by a sense of anticipation, he found himself pressing harder on the gas. About half an hour later, he finally pulled up at the villa.Once parked, he headed straight for the door, key in hand, and let himself in."Joseph, you're back!"Alice was lounging on the sofa, wearing a pair of petite, loose-fitting shorts that revealed her long, alabaster legs—enough to make Joseph’s heart stir against his w

"Back then, half of her face was destroyed. Doctors from all over Nova City—and even renowned experts from across the country—were consulted, but none could do anything.""They all knew that skin grafting was the only option, yet no one dared attempt such an extensive procedure."Old Mr. Cooper seemed to drift into the past, his voice tinged with the weight of memory."Then who performed the surgery in the end?"Heidi's eyes locked onto her grandfather. She already had a guess, but she still wanted to hear the answer from his own lips."Who else could it be? Of course it was Joseph. He practically rebuilt half of her face. Over the span of three months, while she was in a coma, he operated on her more than ten times. Only then did her face return to its original appearance.""She’s a woman—if half her face had remained ruined, her life would’ve been over. It was Joseph who saved her. He gave her a second chance at life. And she dares to be proud? She dares to look down on others?""Th

Hearing Old Mr. Cooper's words, a soft flush crept across Heidi’s cheeks.“Grandpa, how do you always seem to know everything? Don’t tell me you were hiding somewhere, spying on us?”She asked bashfully, her voice tinged with playful suspicion.“Hahaha… You little rascal. Spying? What nonsense.”“There’s a saying, my dear—read between the lines and observe the subtle cues. Life teaches you much if you’re willing to watch and listen.”Old Mr. Cooper chuckled, clearly amused.“So, how did your talk go?”He gave her hand a gentle pat, eyes filled with warmth.Judging by her expression, he could already guess things hadn’t gone too badly—otherwise, she wouldn’t be smiling now.“He’s always been a softie. That’s just the way he is—too kind for his own good. I pushed a little, coaxed him a bit, and he gave in.”She tried to sound casual, though her eyes flickered. Of course, she wasn’t going to admit she'd cried in front of Joseph. That would be far too embarrassing.But despite her efforts

Just as expected.The next moment, Heidi rose on her tiptoes and planted a fierce kiss on Joseph's lips, her arms locked tightly around his neck, leaving him no room to resist.A soft, warm sensation entered his mouth, and the girl’s delicate fragrance overwhelmed his senses. Joseph froze on the spot, his entire body turning rigid.Only after a bold and reckless kiss did Heidi finally release him."Hiss! You bit my lip—it's bleeding!"Joseph looked genuinely confused. He touched his lips and found blood."That’s the only way to make sure you remember. To make sure you never forget what you just said."Heidi rolled her eyes at him, her voice full of indignation."By the way, I can’t call you 'brother-in-law' anymore. Maybe I should call you 'Professor Wilson' like everyone else does.""I used to call you 'brother-in-law' because I was afraid of completely losing the last shred of connection between us.""But now... we have a new kind of relationship, don’t we?"Her cheeks flushed sligh
