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 glasses on the coffee table. Judging by the alcohol in the glasses, 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 into laughter.
"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 glance at Josh, smiled, and replied, "Josh doesn't drink much now either. He stopped smoking too."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJosh jumped in. "Jasmine hates the smell of tobacco."
Julian said, "Can you two be considerate of me? You don’t have to flex your relationship 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 was coming 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 recommend 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 glass, 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 person comes along. If no one makes my heart flutter, I
don't mind enjoying my bachelor life."
Julian carried the attitude that love would come 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.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmApparently, Julian and Duncan were in the same boat.
Putting down his glass, 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 place. These people have a knack for surveillance.
I'm concerned that the documents might be lost in your hands. The plan 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 the law 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."
