Chapter 1783: Be Polite

Nicole watched her son cook so skillfully, gaping.

Yasmeen wasn’t shocked. After all, this wasn’t the first time for her to eat the dishes prepared by
Lucas.

She held Nicole’s arm and said with a smile, “Mrs. Green, let’s go sit down in the living room. Don’t
worry. Lucas is good at cooking.”

“Have you eaten his dishes before?”

“Yeah.’

Nicole felt a bit bitter.

Although she was delighted to see her son and daughter-in-law love each other so much, as Lucas’s
mother, how had brought him up, she didn’t know he could cook until now. She had never eaten
anything cooked by him before. Hence, she was a bit upset.

“Yasmeen, you should have a daughter with Lucas. A son isn’t so reliable. When he grows up, he will
ignore his mother.”

Nicole’s words made Yasmeen blush. She felt sweet in her heart.

“Mrs. Green, Lucas cares a lot about you and Mr. Green. I’m just an experiment rat for him.”

Upon hearing it, Nicole became happier.

“You are such a sweet talker, Yasmeen. I know you are protective of him. If he bullies you in the future,
you might shed tears.”

“No, I won’t. Mrs. Green, you’ll protect me, right?”



Yasmeen leaned against Nicole. They looked like a mother and a daughter.

Nicole was quite joyful.

Soon, Lucas finished cooking and served the dishes.

Looking at the dishes that looked and smelt quite good, Samuel and Nicole didn’t remark. Yasmeen
directly called Zoe and Joseph downstairs for lunch.

When meeting his parents’ meaningful gazes, Lucas said, “All right. I’ll tell you frankly. I’ve learned to
cook quite a long time ago. Isn’t the kitchen in our family Mom’s territory? I only come home
occasionally. I can’t occupy her territory, can I?”

“Phew!”

Nicole glared at him and said, “When do you plan to marry Yasmeen? You were too blind to accept her
earlier, so I didn’t push you. You both are almost thirty and dating now. When do you want to do it?
Your dad and I are looking forward to our grandchildren.”

Lucas didn’t turn her down this time. He answered with a smile, “Please give me the residential record
book, Mom.”

“Why? Your residential record isn’t in our book.”

Samuel thought his son was a bit silly.

Lucas’s residential record was in the military region of Capital City. Although he resigned now, the
residential record hadn’t been transferred back to his original city. Hence, theoretically, he wasn’t a free
man yet.

Lucas also realized it, feeling a bit frustrated.



“Then I must fly to Capital City.”

“You’d better talk to Uncle Morty nicely and bring him some gifts. After all, your relationship with Uncle
Morty is different now. You must be polite,” Samuel reminded him in a low voice.

Lucas nodded while listening to him in silence.

After Yasmeen, Zoe, and Joseph came downstairs. They started eating.

Joseph put down his chopsticks after lunch. He said, “Dad, Mom, I want to announce something.”

“Yes?”

Everyone looked over at Joseph, only to find evident dark circles under his eyes. He looked as if he
had stayed up the whole night.

“Joseph, didn’t you sleep well last night?”

Nicole was worried.

Joseph nodded. “I want to delay my engagement ceremony.”

Upon hearing it, Yasmeen and Zoe breathed sighs of relief.

“You’re making an accurate decision, Joseph,” Zoe remarked.

“Go on with your lunch.”

Nicole glared at Zoe and then looked back at Joseph.

“What happened?” she asked.

“Well, to be exact, I’ve imagined the marriage too simply earlier.”



Joseph pressed his thin lips, blushing.

“Kylie isn’t the woman I love but my best friend’s girlfriend. He passed away a few days ago. His
mother couldn’t bear the bad news. Her heart disease broke up and passed away as well. His father
was sick. The baby in Kylie’s belly is the only blood in their family now. I originally wanted to marry her
so after the baby is born, he will have a family. In that case, I can help my best friend’s family continue
to develop. However, I’ve ignored my decision is unfair to myself and others,” said Joseph.

Everyone listened to him in silence. Zoe and Yasmeen were relieved.

“Joseph, you like Kylie, don’t you?”

“Kylie?”

Nicole was surprised.

“Kylie from the Gust family?”

“Yeah, Mom. Kylie is a nice girl.”

Zoe was afraid Nicole disliked Kylie. After all, nobody in the Gust family liked Kylie.

Nicole sighed. “That girl is a poor child. Joseph, do you like her?”

“I don’t know, but I have different feelings for her. She said she wanted to marry me and didn’t want me
to marry Kylie. I suddenly realized my decision was made too recklessly.”

Joseph always knew what he was doing. He seldom changed his mind because of others’ opinions.
However, Kylie could make him do so. It showed how important she was to him.



Samuel and Nicole exchanged a glance with each other and said, “Since it’s your own decision, we
respect it. However, you must think twice before making any decision in love. Besides, if you want to
help your best friend, you can’t sacrifice your own marriage. All right?”

“I got it. Dad, Mom, I’ll never do it again.”

Joseph’s eyes twinkled, looking quite attractive.

Seeing how delighted Yasmeen and Zoe were, Lucas recalled what Yasmeen had done for him. He felt
quite warm in his heart.

“Yasmeen,” he called her.

“Ehn?”

Yasmeen heard it and was stunned. Then she saw others looking at her, and she blushed.

“What’s up?”

Lucas suddenly found that he enjoyed seeing Yasmeen’s blushed face. It made him want to bully her.

Since Nicole and Samuel were both here, Lucas had to put away his guilty pleasure. He said
indifferently, “I’ll go to Capital City for a business trip this afternoon. Please wait for me at home.”

His words made Yasmeen feel at home.

“Okay.”

She lowered her head.

Nicole smiled when seeing her shy look.



It seemed there would be good news from the Green family soon.

Others also didn’t want to stay to disturb the love birds, so they stood up and left the dining room.

Seeing that they were almost gone, Lucas pulled Yasmeen to sit on his lap.

Yasmeen was a bit shy. She looked around and said, “Put me down.”

However, Lucas loved to see her in this way. He pecked on her cheek and said, “When I come back,
we’ll register for marriage. When you are free in the afternoon, go check online to see what kind of
wedding you like. We should get prepared for it.”

Yasmeen had a feeling that she was dreaming.

Looking at Lucas’s face that was so close to her, she felt as if her heart would jump out of her chest.

Right then, Lucas’s phone started ringing, breaking the romance between them.
