Chapter 1298


    Zachary answered in a mild manner, “I''m a nocturnal person. I''m not usually home at this hour."


    He adjusted his schedule and was in the same time zone as the majority of people in the city after he


    got married.

    "Sit," Julian said to Zachary. ''This calls for some liquor. I brought out my good alcohol."


    There was a bottle of liquor and two sses on the coffee table. Judging by the alcohol in the sses,


    the cousins had been drinking.


    Zachary rejected. ‘Thank you, but my wife doesn''t like me drinking. She’s not keen on the alcohol


    stench. I rarely drink when I go socializing now."


    Julian was dumbstruck at first, but he soon burst intoughter.


    "Josh said the power of love has changed you. Now I believe him. You have changed a lot, Mr. York."


    Zachary was not one to say no to alcohol during business engagements.


    He took a nce at Josh, smiled, and replied, "Josh doesn''t drink much now either. He stopped


    smoking too."


    Josh jumped in. "Jasmine hates the smell of tobo.”


    Julian said, "Can you two be considerate of me? You don''t have to flex your rtionship with me. I


    don''t even have a girlfriend."


    The pair turned their gaze to Julian. Josh uttered, ‘That''s where you''re wrong, Julian. Zachary and I


    aren''t flexing. He''s an uxorious husband while I''m only taking notes from Zachary about wearing the


    pants in the house.”


    Julian did not hold back on dashing Josh''s dream. "You can forget about wearing the pants. I think your


    wife will be the one calling the shots."


    Now that Josh and Jasmine’s engagement wasing up, Jasmine was already a part of the family in


    the Buchams’ eyes.


    "Zachary and I are out of the singleton market. It''s your turn next. Your parents must be worried sick


    when you''re going to tie the knot. Tell us what your type is. We can rmend someone suited for


    you."


    Josh fervently asked Julian about his type because Jasmine was interested to know.


    The way Jasmine saw it, Julian was a great mystery to unravel. He was discreet yet bad*ss. Jasmine


    was intrigued by the sort of woman who could win Julian''s heart.


    Picking up his ss, Julian took a sip and replied with a smile, "I don''t know what type of woman I am


    into. I''m not interested in all the women I''ve met.


    "It''ll happen when it happens. I''ll marry when the right persones along. If no one makes my heart


    flutter, I don''t mind enjoying my bachelor life.”


    Julian carried the attitude that love woulde when it was written in the stars.


    Of course, he was annoyed by his elders’ pressure to marry. Hence why he became a night owl, resting


    during the day and being active during the night.


    He could escape his parents’ constant nagging.


    His family grew anxious since Josh, who was younger than Julian by a few years, was going to get


    married. Julian did not even have a girlfriend.


    Julian''s mother wished she knew what was going on in the minds of the boys of Julian''s age.


    A lot of men were not considering marriage despite being in their thirties.


    Apparently, Julian and Duncan were in the same boat.


    Putting down his ss, Julian pulled out a yellow file from under the coffee table. He handed the file to


    Zachary and said, "I''ve looked into the matter as requested. I''ve investigated and sorted out her


    connections.


    "You can read the file here. It''s better if the file doesn''t leave this ce. These people have a knack for


    surveince. I''m concerned that the documents might be lost in your hands. The n for you and Josh


    now is to stay put until we can catch them red-handed.”


    With a solemn look, Zachary took the file and gruffly uttered, “Okay. I''ll take a look."


    He had a great memory. Zachary could retain the vital information from reading the first time and


    memorize the whole thing after scanning through it another few times.


    "Don’t worry, Mr. York. I will oversee the matter from start to finish. Once you smoke them out, we can


    get them once and for all. They should''ve faced thew when their boss was caught years ago.


    ‘They fled and were in hiding for many years, and now they had made something of themselves.”


    Zachary opened the file and pulled out Julian''s investigation report. It included background checks and


    photos of multiple individuals so that Zachary could remember their faces.


    "Also, that Jessica girl is bait. Just keep an eye on her, but you need to be very careful. They have


    been watching the girl for a long time. They will sense something is amiss when you start to get a


    closer look at Jessica."
