Meeting You Was Fate

"Fate ties everything together. Maybe we're having a barbecue here for a reason. It's very important for things to happen at the right time, right place, and with the right people. These elements are indefensible. Anyway, Nacy, try some of these kebabs. Tell me if I'm a good cook or not." Bruce gracefully picked up a kebab, dipped it in a thin layer of seafood sauce and handed it to Nacy.

Nacy took the steaming hot kebab, put it on her plate, and gently blew on it. After a while, she took a bite of the kebab. She chewed it with a surprised look on her face, then gave a thumbs up. "Wow, this is delicious! How did you roast it? Your cooking skills are good enough that you can open a barbecue booth at the school gate...This is your ticket to popularity!"

"You really have a good business acumen." Bruce put all the kebabs on the plate. He took out the needle mushrooms and chicken wings from the trunk and put them onto a piece of tin foil.

"Ha-ha. What do you think of my idea? Tell me... Would you be interested in running a barbecue shop?"

"If you like eating barbecued food so much, I can roast some more things for you later..." Bruce spoke with an air of ambiguity, looking up at Nacy.

Nacy twisted her mouth, blushing a little, then frowned on purpose. She felt a little embarrassed at his words. "What if you change your mind in the future?"

"Why would I? It's just a barbecue, right? But you'd better eat less. It's not good for your health," Bruce said with a smile, looking at the needle mushroom in his hand.

Nacy curled her lips, shrugging. She hadn't had barbecue since marrying Simon. Simon was a man who led a healthy and cautious life. He was against consuming roadside, fried, and barbecued food. He often took her to eat Western foods like beefsteak but never let her eat from cheap roadside stands.

Simon loved Nacy a lot, but in his own method of loving and caring for her, he forgot to consider what her expectations from their marriage were.
