As of today, I\u2019m officially out of your ranks. You won\u2019t need to invite me to any bachelor activities from now on. Enjoy your wild nights without me!\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Remy smiled and said, \u201cI envy you, Mr. Bucham.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Duncan chimed in, \u201cFrom this day forward, Josh will be henpecked just like Zachary.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Zachary replied in a deep voice, \u201cI may be henpecked, but you won\u2019t even get the chance to be.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Duncan retorted, \u201cZachary\u2026 that\u2019s pretty harsh. Serenity, you need to keep him in line.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Meanwhile, Serenity was preparing some food for her nephew. Sonny had already eaten dinner and wasn\u2019t interested in a full meal, but he did help himself to some of his favorite side dishes.<\/div>\n<div>\u201cZachary didn\u2019t say anything wrong, so there\u2019s no need for me to control him,\u201d Serenity stated calmly.<\/div>\n<div>Duncan chuckled and added, \u201cSee, this is what a married couple looks like. Your hearts are in sync. You\u2019re the most envied couple among our friends.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Kevin suggested, \u201cDuncan, if you\u2019re envious, you should find a girlfriend quickly so we can start envying you. Weren\u2019t you chatting happily with Harmon Corporation\u2019s vice president at the Marshall\u2019s party? I saw you dancing together, and you seemed like a perfect match.\u201d<\/div>\n<div>Duncan immediately glanced at Serenity, concerned that she might spill the details to Liberty. However, Serenity had also attended that night and witnessed everything herself; if she had wanted to tell Liberty, she would have done so long ago.<\/div>\n<div>Thus, he responded to Kevin calmly and honestly,<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s my mom\u2019s preferred candidate, not someone I like. I already have a crush on someone else. If I manage to win her over and am fortunate enough to marry her, I\u2019ll definitely treat you to an extravagant meal, just like Josh did.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Aside from the two married couples, the bachelors were unaware that Duncan had feelings for Liberty. <\/p>\n<p>Remy, curious as ever, asked, \u201cMr. Lewis, you have a crush on someone? I don\u2019t recall you mentioning that you\u2019re pursuing anyone.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Kevin chuckled and replied, \u201cRemy, you underestimate Duncan. If he likes someone, he won\u2019t bother with the chase; he\u2019ll head straight to City Hall to obtain their marriage license.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cF*ck you. Do I look uncultured?\u201d Duncan joked, playfully punching Kevin. <\/p>\n<p>Everyone was engaged in light-hearted banter, except for Julian, who quietly focused on his meal. He didn\u2019t participate in the conversation because he felt out of place and had no interest in the topic. He was only present because his cousin, no longer a bachelor, had invited him to a celebratory dinner. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cJasmine, have some fish. I\u2019ve removed the skin for you.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Noticing Julian was solely focused on eating and not contributing to the conversation, Josh began to show affection for Jasmine. Despite his playful demeanor, Josh was typically very considerate when they ate together. He had taken the time to remove the fish skin for Jasmine since she didn\u2019t like it. <\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Zachary wore disposable gloves as he peeled shrimp for Serenity and Sonny. Serenity loved shrimp, so no matter who invited them out, shrimp was always on the menu. It also served as a way for Zachary to demonstrate how he pampered his wife. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cJulian.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Josh scooped more food for Jasmine and called out to Julian. <\/p>\n<p>Julian looked up and asked, \u201cWhat\u2019s up?\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u201cJulian, why aren\u2019t you saying anything?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnything? Everyone is chatting happily.\u201d The others laughed and remarked, \u201cJulian, you\u2019re the king of bachelors.\u201d Julian chuckled in response, \u201cI\u2019m not like you guys; I\u2019m not a typical person.\u201d The rest of the group fell silent. Serenity and Jasmine, eager to gossip, perked up their ears. They had heard many stories but were particularly interested in learning more about Julian. Unfortunately, the information they had was limited to what he chose to share, making it challenging for them to discover more about him on their own. When Serenity and Jasmine heard Julian describe himself as abnormal, their curiosity intensified.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"text-chapter-toolbar\">\n\t\t\t\t<a href=\"#\"><i class=\"icon ion-md-settings\"><\/i><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chapter 1488 Everyone present was aware that Josh and Jasmine\u2019s wedding date had been set for the end of this [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13707","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-married-at-first-sight"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13707","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13707"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13707\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13707"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13707"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kezpres.xyz\/novelreading\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13707"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
