Chapter 1162<\/div>\n
\u201cMarried men have a different perspective. You may cook for yourself, but I cook for both my wife and me. There\u2019s immense joy in watching her enjoy my food\u2014it\u2019s a happiness that those of you who are single simply won\u2019t comprehend.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cEven a fine lobster pales in comparison to a meal shared with my wife. The simplest dishes taste incredible when I\u2019m enjoying them together with her. It\u2019s simply incomparable.\u201d<\/div>\n
Duncan responded, \u201cThat\u2019s an interesting take on men who cook. Are you suggesting that those who have never cooked won\u2019t find happiness? I may not cook like you do, but I can certainly find a wife who does. The outcome is still the same.\u201d<\/div>\n
Zachary retorted, \u201cAre you seeking a wife or just a cook?\u201d<\/div>\n
Duncan, taken aback, shifted the conversation. \u201cMake me one too.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cDo it yourself. You should practice and gain experience. I assure you, your future wife will appreciate it if you cook her a steak. It\u2019s a way of romancing her.\u201d<\/div>\n
Duncan pouted. \u201cZachary, I\u2019m a guest in your home.\u201d<\/div>\n
\u201cAn uninvited guest who refuses to leave isn\u2019t really a guest. If you\u2019d prefer not to cook, you can ask the chefs. They\u2019ll start on your breakfast as soon as I\u2019m finished.\u201d<\/div>\n
While Zachary occupied the kitchen, the chefs were chatting with the gardeners outside.<\/div>\n
\u201cFine, fine. I\u2019ll handle it myself. Do you think I can\u2019t cook? I\u2019ve learned quite a bit from my experiences out there,\u201d Duncan replied.<\/div>\n
Duncan had started from humble beginnings on the other side of the law, where it was common for henchmen to take on kitchen duties for the boss.<\/div>\n
After preparing a delicious and nutritious breakfast for his wife, Zachary went to the garden and cut a bouquet of blooming roses. He trimmed the stems and arranged the red roses beautifully.<\/div>\n
He placed the bouquet on Serenity\u2019s seat before heading upstairs to wake her.<\/div>\n
Observing everything Zachary did,<\/p>\n

For Serenity, Duncan discreetly took a photo and sent it to their mutual best friend, Josh, along with the message: [Take notes, boy.] <\/p>\n

Josh quickly replied: [Shouldn\u2019t you be the one watching and learning? I\u2019m a natural at romance. Zachary is taking notes from me. I\u2019m his love guru.] <\/p>\n

Duncan grinned. \u201cOh, right. Josh has the highest EQ.\u201d <\/p>\n

Josh and Jasmine\u2019s romantic life had been smooth sailing without any turbulence. <\/p>\n

\u201cDuncan, why are you at Zachary\u2019s place?\u201d Josh sent a voice note. <\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m here to take cover.\u201d <\/p>\n

Josh responded with a LOL emoji. <\/p>\n

The pressure from Duncan\u2019s mother to get married had compelled him to seek refuge at Zachary\u2019s home. <\/p>\n

Duncan was at a loss for words. <\/p>\n

Slipping his phone back into his pocket, he began eating his steak. <\/p>\n

Hmm\u2026 It tasted fine. <\/p>\n

Duncan had no issue dining alone. <\/p>\n

He couldn\u2019t grasp the happiness Zachary spoke of. However, Zachary and his wife soon opened Duncan\u2019s eyes to the joys of married life. <\/p>\n

As Zachary and Serenity showcased their affection over breakfast, Duncan lost his appetite. <\/p>\n

He envied Zachary\u2019s steak as Serenity devoured her meal with enthusiasm. <\/p>\n

From that moment on, Duncan resolved never to have breakfast with the couple again. They enjoyed a wonderful feast, while he was left with nothing but an unwelcome visual feast. <\/p>\n

After breakfast, the couple strolled hand-in-hand. <\/p>\n

Zachary used to rush to the office first thing in the morning. <\/p>\n

Now, he took his time leaving. <\/p>\n

Holding a mug of coffee, Duncan stood at the door, watching the young couple laugh and talk as they walked further away. For the first time, loneliness began to weigh on Duncan. <\/p>\n

Should he consider entering the next big phase of his life?<\/p>\n
