"Really? No wonder it tasted so good." Alice smacked her lips, as if savoring the lingering flavor of the water.Joseph chuckled and gently pinched her cheek."Ow! That hurts, you bully! You always pinch my face—it's going to swell!" Alice covered her cheek, pouting in mock grievance."It’s getting late. I’m going to shower and get to bed. I’ve got class early tomorrow." Joseph glanced at the time again."Then give me a kiss!" Alice stood before him, lips adorably puckered.Joseph leaned in and gave her a light peck on her rosy lips."Hee hee, now I can sleep. You wash up quick too!" Alice tidied his collar out of habit, then skipped off to her room.Just as she closed the door, she peeked back out, poked her head around the frame, and blew him a playful kiss.Joseph couldn’t help but smile. She was a grown woman, yet somehow, she still felt like a mischievous little girl. No matter how time passed, Alice in his eyes would always be that sprightly, untamed girl.Shaking his head

Hearing Alice’s aggrieved voice snapped Joseph out of his daze. He quickly pulled his hand back."I was touching your stomach. You were the one telling me to keep going higher!" Joseph replied awkwardly."So now you’re blaming me?" Alice raised her brows, her cheeks tinged pink with indignation."Ahem... No, not blaming you. It’s my fault." Joseph scratched his head, clearly embarrassed."Then you admit you’re a total perv, huh?" Alice’s eyes sparkled mischievously, her tone triumphant."You little minx—you did this on purpose, didn’t you? Who are you calling a perv?" Realizing he’d been played, Joseph retaliated by tickling Alice’s stomach, causing her to squeal in laughter."Ah! Joseph, stop! Please stop! I surrender—I won’t tease you anymore!" Alice cried out, clutching her belly and begging for mercy.Only then did Joseph stop, chuckling softly."Alright, go freshen up. I’ll clean up here," he said, ruffling her hair.But instead of heading to the bathroom, Alice sat down d

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight…Eight digits. Starting with a "1," followed by seven zeros.That was ten million. Ten million dollars in pocket money."Uncle Mason, this is... way too much." "Ten million dollars? For pocket money? Who could possibly spend that much?" Joseph was at a loss. The Morgans, it seemed, had a habit of throwing around absurd amounts of money at the drop of a hat."It’s not too much. That’s about right. If there’s one thing the Morgan family doesn’t lack—it’s money." "And money? It’s meant to be spent." Mason Morgan declared with the nonchalance of someone born into wealth."Uncle Mason, I really can’t accept this. Please, take it back." Joseph gave an awkward smile, clearly uncomfortable."Kid, I know you’ve been through hard times. I know what it was like for you in the Cooper family." "This ten million is for you—to spend, to enjoy. You’ve suffered enough. Isn’t it time to live a little?" Mason patted Joseph on the shoulder."Uncle M

"So? How’s my treasured vintage?" Blake Morgan asked with a grin, clearly proud of his wine.Joseph was the first to speak. "The aroma is mellow, and the texture smooth. I can tell—it’s a vintage treasure, aged for many years." He smiled as he gave his verdict."Haha... Joseph knows his wine!" Blake Morgan beamed, clearly pleased with the compliment."Father, you wouldn’t give me even one jar of this wine before. Now you’ve brought out two? That’s a miracle!" Mason Morgan chuckled, obviously in high spirits. He had been coveting his father’s private stash for years."You rascal, don’t start scheming. Give it once, and next comes the second, then the third!" "That’s why—not even a single jar!" Blake’s tone was firm and unyielding."Come on, Dad. Stingy much? I’m your own son!" Mason looked exasperated."Even for my son, the answer is no." Blake waved him off. His treasured collection was his pride and joy—he barely drank it himself."Come, another toast!" Blake raised his gla

"Joseph, don’t mind her—this child just talks nonsense sometimes." "You brewed Mason's medicine so fragrantly that it made her greedy for more. She’s been pestering me ever since, asking you to prescribe her something too. Just ignore her rambling." "If you keep this up, young lady, I won’t bring you next time." Molly looked visibly embarrassed. Her daughter had always been bold and fearless—something even she couldn't control. But with so many people present, spanking her with a cane was clearly out of the question. "It’s fine. A child with a good appetite is a healthy child. A healthy appetite means a healthy body." "Come on, Aunt Molly, Uncle Mason, Mr. Blake, Leah—everyone, please have a seat. All the dishes are ready. Let’s begin." Seeing that everyone had arrived, Joseph called everyone to the table. "Leah, why don’t you give Joseph’s cooking a try? It might taste even better than that fragrant herbal brew." Joseph sat down with a smile. "Really? I could smell it from

Ahem—"Hasn't the situation changed a little?" Mason Morgan cleared his throat, a glint of sly amusement in his eyes. "What situation?" Blake Morgan asked with a frown. "Well, maybe not a change in the situation, per se. It's just that I've come to see Joseph in a new light." "He's capable—no doubt about that. Considering all aspects, he might just barely be worthy of my daughter." "And besides, the two of them are clearly in love. What good is my opposition? Since it’s futile, I might as well enjoy being a father-in-law." Mason straightened up as he spoke, his tone half-joking, half-serious. "You look much better today—less tired, more spirited," Blake observed, scrutinizing his face. "You noticed too, Dad?" Mason's eyes lit up with joy. Was his good health already so apparent? "Your mindset has improved as well. You look better, feel better—you even seem younger," Blake added. "Haha, is it really that obvious?" Mason couldn't help but laugh. Blake’s words clearly pleased h
