Seeing his mother visibly excited, Jeff quickly grabbed her hands, trying to calm her down. “Mom, slow down. It’s not what you’re thinking,” he said with a nervous chuckle.

Jacky’s eyes widened dramatically. “Oh no! Don’t tell me you got someone pregnant and then had to marry her out of responsibility. Are you trapped in a loveless marriage now?” she gasped in shock.

Jeff blinked, utterly speechless. “Mom… seriously?” He let out a sigh, shaking his head. “You really need to stop watching those over–the–top TV dramas.”

Jacky crossed her arms, unconvinced. “Then what is it? Who’s the lucky lady?” she demanded.

Jeff grinned mischievously. “Hehe… My one true love.”

Jacky narrowed her eyes. “Excuse me?”

“My food!” Jeff declared proudly, patting his stomach.

Jacky stared at him in disbelief. “You can’t be serious.”

“Mom, I’ve made a lifelong commitment. In this world, there’s only one thing I’ll ever truly love–my food. No one will ever come between me and my plate. If you’re looking for a daughter–in–law, you’ll have to try with my older brother. I’m completely devoted to my one and only true love.”

Jacky’s jaw dropped. “Are you for real?”

Jeff scratched the back of his neck with a sheepish smile. “Mom, you should be proud! You raised a loyal son. And honestly, who wants all that relationship drama? Love, heartbreak, stress–when you can just fall in love with a great meal.”

Jacky shook her head, trying to suppress a smile. “You’re impossible,” she muttered, knowing better than to argue with his nonsense. “Fine, I’m not trying to set you up with anyone right now. But seriously, what do you think about her?” she asked, her tone shifting to something more thoughtful.

Relieved that the topic wasn’t about marriage, Jeff relaxed. “Phew, glad we’re done with that topic,” he said, though his relief was short–lived.
