Married at First Sight Chapter 1298

Chapter 1298

Zachary replied calmly, “I’m a nocturnal person. I’m not usually home at this hour.”

Since getting married, he had adjusted his schedule to align with the time zone of most people in the city.

“Have a seat,” Julian said to Zachary. “This calls for some liquor. I brought out my finest.”

A bottle of liquor and two glasses sat on the coffee table, indicating that the cousins had already been drinking.

Zachary declined, saying, “Thank you, but my wife doesn’t like me drinking. She’s not fond of the smell of alcohol. I rarely drink when socializing now.”

Julian was taken aback at first but soon erupted in laughter.

“Josh said the power of love has changed you. Now I believe him. You’ve really changed, Mr. York.”

Zachary was generally not one to refuse alcohol during business engagements.

He glanced at Josh, smiled, and said, “Josh doesn’t drink much anymore either. He’s stopped smoking too.”

Josh chimed in, “Jasmine hates the smell of tobacco.”

Julian remarked, “Can you two be a bit considerate of me? You don’t have to flaunt your relationships in front of me. I don’t even have a girlfriend.”

The two turned their attention to Julian. Josh replied, “That’s where you’re mistaken, Julian. Zachary and I aren’t showing off. He’s a devoted husband, while I’m just taking notes from Zachary on how to be the one in charge at home.”

Julian didn’t hesitate to crush Josh’s dreams. “You can forget about being in charge. I think your wife will be the one calling the shots.”

With Josh and Jasmine’s engagement approaching, Jasmine was already considered part of the family in the Buchams’ eyes.

“Zachary…

and I have stepped away from the singleton market. Now it’s your turn. Your parents must be incredibly anxious about when you’ll get married. Why not share your type with us? We can suggest someone who might be a good match for you.”

Josh eagerly questioned Julian about his preferences, as Jasmine was curious to know.

From Jasmine’s perspective, Julian was an intriguing puzzle waiting to be solved. He was both reserved and undeniably cool. She found herself fascinated by the type of woman who could capture Julian’s heart.

After taking a sip from his glass, Julian smiled and responded, “I’m not really sure what type of woman I prefer. I haven’t felt a connection with any of the women I’ve met.”

“It’ll happen when it’s meant to be. I’ll marry when the right person comes along. If no one makes my heart race, I’m perfectly fine enjoying my bachelor life.”

Julian held the belief that love would come when it was destined.

However, he was frustrated by the pressure from his family to settle down, which is why he had adopted a nocturnal lifestyle—resting during the day and being active at night.

This routine allowed him to escape his parents’ relentless urging.

His family was growing increasingly anxious since Josh, who was a few years younger than Julian, was preparing to get married, while Julian didn’t even have a girlfriend.

Julian’s mother often wished she understood what was going through the minds of young men like Julian.

Many men in their thirties, it seemed, were not considering marriage at all.

Evidently, Julian and Duncan shared a similar outlook.

Setting down his glass, Julian retrieved a yellow file from beneath the coffee table. He handed it to Zachary, stating, “I’ve looked into the matter as you requested. I’ve researched and compiled her connections.”

“Please read through the file here. It’s best if it doesn’t leave this place, as these individuals have a knack for…

Surveillance is a concern. I’m worried that the documents may be mishandled. The current plan for you and Josh is to remain in place until we can catch them red-handed.”

With a serious expression, Zachary took the file and replied, “Alright, I’ll review it.”

He had an excellent memory and could absorb crucial information after just one reading, fully memorizing it after a few additional scans.

“Don’t worry, Mr. York. I will manage this from start to finish. Once we flush them out, we can apprehend them for good. They should have faced justice when their boss was caught years ago.”

“They fled and remained in hiding for many years, but now they’ve built new lives for themselves.”

Zachary opened the file and extracted Julian’s investigation report, which contained background checks and photos of various individuals to help him recognize their faces.

“Additionally, that girl Jessica is being used as bait. Just monitor her closely, but exercise extreme caution. They’ve been watching her for a long time, and they will notice if you start to get too close.”
