This was the first time Joseph saw his house being so messy. For a man like him who had a slight obsession with cleanliness, this was unbearable.

He walked over and bent down, looking at the girl who was sleeping. The wounds on her face were all scarred, making her look quite pitiful. Although her face was injured in many places, it still gave off a kind of soft and clear feeling. The man couldn't help but chuckle.

Although it was already sprung and the weather was warm, it was still very easy to catch a cold without covering herself with a blanket.

Joseph frowned, so he decided to carry her upstairs to sleep first. Just a while ago, she had a cold, so he shouldn't get sick again.

Alvina had just fallen asleep and was still dreaming. In her dream, she was lying in Joseph's embrace and being held by him.

However, what she didn't know was that reality and her dreams overlapped. She was gently lifted by the man. He walked towards the bedroom upstairs at a heavy pace.

Alvina stuck onto his chest like a kitten that had found someone to rely on.

He moved by her action. Other girls had parents to take care of them, and even if they coughed, their parents would be worried about them. Maybe they would even personally feed her medicine, but Alvina did not have such experience. She was too considerate. If she was sick, she would not tell her grandfather or mother. She would carry everything herself. No matter what happened, she would always like to be alone, and this was the reason why Joseph pitied her.

The man gently placed the sleeping girl on the bed, then took off her shoes and covered her with a blanket.

She hugged the blanket, turned away, and continued to sleep. He let out a sigh of relief.

Next, he would have to clean up her messy desk.

After about half an hour, the living room was finally restored. The man was sweating. He took off his coat and went to boil a pot of hot water. He made a cup of tea and enjoyed himself for once on the sofa. Ever since Alvina moved here, he had never been able to relax in his own home.

With her by his side, his heartstrings were always taut.

When Alvina woke up, it was already around nine. She had been sleeping since 6.30 p.m. She felt a little strange when she woke up. She was sleeping on the sofa, why was she lying on Joseph's bed with a blanket?

Alvina's heartbeat instantly accelerated. She got off the bed and rushed downstairs before she could even put on her shoes.

She ran to the stairs and saw a man sitting leisurely on the sofa under the bright lights. He had a laptop on his knees. He was working.

When Joseph heard the sound of footsteps, he had already stopped what he was doing and raised his eyes to look in the direction of the stairs.

Alvina stood there in a daze with her hair in a mess. She didn't wear shoes.

"Where are your shoes?" Seeing that, Joseph frowned and asked her, with a light punishment.

It was only then that Alvina remembered that she had forgotten about them. She quickly took two steps back in embarrassment, then quickly ran back upstairs, dragging a pair of cotton shoes down as she smiled happily. "You came so early today, it's really rare!"

"If I hadn't come earlier, how would I have known that you were still sleeping on the sofa after ate a bunch of snacks?" The man put the computer on the table beside him, and got up. He walked over to her, mocking her.

Alvina choked, yet she did not know what to say now. Her face flushed red.

"I heard that you didn't even eat dinner. Eating so many snacks is bad for your health. In the future, you must eat your meal regularly and don't eat snacks again. Do you understand?" Joseph frowned and chided her.

"Alright!" Alvina nodded. She suddenly felt a pain in her stomach. She quickly touched her stomach, and her face flushed red: "Oh no, I ate too much, I need to go to the washroom!"

Joseph shook his head as he looked at her actions of going upstairs in a daze.

Alvina had diarrhea. She must destroy her stomach by eating too much.

"I am done. This is too embarrassing!" Alvina sat in the bathroom for more than 10 minutes, pulling on a tissue while covering her face with her hands.

When Alvina came out of the bathroom, she felt like she was about to collapse. She weakly pushed the door open and saw the man leaning against the stairs with his arms crossed. Her brain exploded. "You, you, you, you... What are you standing here for? " Alvina felt extremely humiliated, wanting to dig a hole and hide in it.

"I'm afraid that you need my help!" Joseph said with a serious face.

"What can I ask you to help me with? I asked for it, I deserve it!" Alvina laughed at herself.

"Is your stomach better now?" Joseph asked in concern.

Alvina nodded and lowered her head in embarrassment: "This is too embarrassing!"

"What's shameful about that? This is the life of an ordinary person. Being sick is a common occurrence, but taking care of your own body is also very important. Just don't eat random things in the future!" Joseph walked towards her and caressed her long hair to comfort her.

Alvina knew that eating, drinking, and sleeping were all things that normal people had to live their lives with, but Joseph was her male god. How could she do these things in front of him?

"I cooked some porridge for you. Come down and eat." Joseph knew that she was extremely thin-skinned and was extremely shy at this moment.

"Ah? Why did you cook porridge for me?" Alvina's face was filled with disbelief, but she was pleasantly surprised.

"I asked Auntie. She said you didn't eat dinner, so I cooked porridge for you. I didn't know you would be sick. You can eat it to warm up your stomach!" In the end, Joseph was still unable to hold back and laughed out loud.

Alvina hurriedly lowered her head and walked forward, "You are making fun of me!"

"No, I just feel that it's very interesting that you're asking for trouble like this!" Joseph said in an unkind tone.

Alvina turned and stared at him!

Joseph walked over and held her small hand. "Enough, don't be angry. Go to eat the porridge."

Alvina did not expect Joseph to be so considerate. Holding onto that bowl of warm porridge, she felt that her life had already reached its peak.

Joseph sat at the side and watched her. There was nowhere for her to place her beautiful eyes.

"Right, I want to ask you to help me with something." Alvina quickly found a topic to discuss.

"What is it? Tell me!" Only then did Joseph realize that he was somewhat engrossed in the scene, he quickly straightened his face and sat up, pretending to extend his hand to grab the tea.

"My mom recently had a new boyfriend. I don't know if he is a good guy. Do you have any way to help me investigate his background?" Alvina said with a pleading expression.

"Your mom has a new boyfriend? Didn't she say she was going to get married?" Joseph looked at her in shock.

"Sigh, it's a long story. That man's daughter didn't agree to let him marry my mom, so they broke up. My mom was pretty sad too. Coincidentally, that man was chasing after her, so my mom agreed!" Alvina didn't want to talk about her mother's emotional history. She was afraid that Joseph would mind, but if she didn't talk about it clearly, he would be upset.

Joseph could understand the difficulties of a remarried woman. The reality was cruel.

"Then go and comfort your mother when you have time!" Joseph warned.

"I went there at noon today, but my mom went downstairs to buy stuff. Her new boyfriend was at home. I don't think he's reliable, so I want you to help me investigate him!" Alvina said with a troubled expression.

"Alright, I'll check it out for you. Don't think too much about it!" Joseph comforted her softly.

"Can I not think about it? She's my mom, if she ever meets bad guy, I will die from heartache. Sigh, if my dad is still alive, my mom would be a blissful woman!" As Alvina said this, her eyes turned red. She endured her grief and stuffed a mouthful of porridge into her mouth, hoping to lessen the sadness in her heart.

Joseph finally saw her weak side. Previously, she always pretended to be optimistic, not putting anything into her heart and being careless, but the injuries on her heart had long ago left behind traces.

"In the future, I will take care of her with you. Having such a sensible daughter like you is also a happiness and contentment!" Joseph held onto her hand and said gently.

Alvina nodded and held back her tears.
