Chapter 775
Jasmine looked at Josh as she said this.
Josh immediately began feeling immense pressure.
As he was bad at cooking, he had no way of presenting a table full of dishes that could rival a professional chef as
Zachary had done.
In his heart, he griped about his good friend. He was so exceptional that he was about to thoroughly outshine all the
other single upper–class men. It was not easy trying to get a wife.
“Ms. Sox will be very happy in the future too.”
Josh had no skill in cooking, but he felt that he would treat his wife very well. If something came out of his
relationship with Jasmine, he would definitely ensure her happiness.
Jasmine laughed. “Who knows at present if they’ll be happy in the future? Love and marriage aren’t the same.
Things can be super sweet while dating, but after marriage, everything returns to reality. Every single flaw a person
deliberately hides while dating will be exposed without fail. A marriage will only last if they can tolerate each other

“Mr. Bucham, you can’t cook, can you?”
Josh replied honestly, “I’ve tried, but it wasn’t good. I could probably make
something edible at best. Jasmine, is your standard for a husband someone who has to be great at cooking and
housework?”
He no longer called her “Ms. Sox“. He felt that after knowing each other for so long, continuing to address her that
way seemed a little distant.
In the past, men always wanted a wife that was good at both housework and cooking. Was that now also the
standard for women to choose their husbands?
It was all Zachary’s fault for being outstanding. They were both men and came from upper–class families, so why
was Zachary exceptional? He was pretty much an all- rounder.
Maybe it was just that Grandma May was too good at raising her kids and grandkids that they were all raised to be
excellent in every aspect.
“Our family chef is pretty good,” Josh added.
Jasmine picked up a bite of food and said, “I don’t expect my future partner to be
good at both housework and cooking. I just think that it’s something everyone knows how to do, so after getting
married, we could take turns cooking and I won’t be so
tired then.”
“To me, husband and wife should be equals. I won’t pamper my husband like he’s a young lord of some sort. If my
other half had any sort of chauvinistic ideals, I’d rather be single than serve him.”
“We have a chef at home. There won’t be any need for you to cook.”
Jasmine was speechless for a moment. “Mr. Bucham, I never said I was going to marry you, so what do you having
a chef at home have anything to do with me?”
Josh opened his mouth but remained silent, unable to reply.
After a moment, he said, “Jasmine, wait here for me. I’m going out for a bit.”
Jasmine hummed in acknowledgment.
Josh had gone out to buy flowers.
Luckily, there was a florist nearby, and the boss of that florist was a local who was not in a hurry to close for the
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmholidays, which was why he managed to buy a bouquet of roses in such a short amount of time.
Carrying the bouquet, Josh returned and walked straight toward Jasmine. He handed the flowers to her with his
black eyes gazing straight at Jasmine. Earnestly, he said, “Jasmine, after getting to know you, I’ve come to like you
more by the day. I feel like I’ve been single all this while because I’ve been waiting for you to come into my life.
Would you be my girlfriend?”
Jasmine accepted the flowers, put them on the table, and said to him, “First, let’s eat.”
“If you don’t give me an answer, I won’t be able to stomach anything.”
“If you can’t stomach anything, there’ll be more for me then.”
Josh was struck silent.
Jasmine laughed when she saw his speechless expression. “Mr. Bucham, I don’t dislike you, but if you’re asking me
to accept you right now and become your girlfriend, I don’t feel comfortable with that. Maybe we don’t know each
other well enough yet. I hope you can give me a bit more time to get to know you better before we define our
relationship.”
Out of countless blind dates, only Josh left a good impression on Jasmine. She did not run from it, but she could not
bring herself to accept Josh right this moment.
She always felt that it was very unfair between her and Josh.
