“Grandma, we’re done eating. Mr. Flintstone, don’t you have a meeting to attend?” Shirley smiled at
Zacharias, her eyes hinting at something.
Zacharias nodded. He, too, didn’t want to disturb their lunch any longer. “Yes, the meeting is about to
start.” “Grandma, Old Madam Dawson, Mr. Dawson, we’ll take our leave. Mr. Dawson, could you
please take my Grandma home? Thank you.” She stood up, reached out to grab Zacharias’ arm, and
called Tony to come along. “Tony, let’s go!” She couldn’t leave Tony here; otherwise, her grandmother
would overhear everything about her and Zacharias. Tony smiled, said goodbye to everyone, and left.
Then, Shirley turned around and reminded Zacharias, “Put on your mask.” After watching him
obediently put on his mask, she nervously looked around before accompanying him downstairs.
Inside the car, Zacharias took off his mask. Shirley let out a sigh of relief and turned to him, scolding
him in a low voice, “Why did you come over?” Seeing her genuinely upset, he replied truthfully, “I didn’t
want someone else to take you away.” She choked and said, “Take me away? What are you talking
about? I have a mind of my own. I’m not a commodity that can be taken away with just a glance!”
Zacharias let out a chuckle. “Are you trying to comfort me?” “Absolutely not.” Shirley flushed red. “You
shouldn’t have come. Now that my Grandma knows, my parents will also know tomorrow. The day after
tomorrow…” She felt a bit overwhelmed. After all, this was an extremely awkward situation as she had
never openly discussed her relationship issues.
“So, what if the whole world knows? Can’t we love each other?” he asked with his eyes narrowed.
“When did I fall in love with you?” She expressed that she didn’t even know something like this had
happened. He reached out and rubbed the back of her head. “You will sooner or later.” Biting her red
lips, Shirley chose not to argue with Zacharias for now. She would deal with it when they got back. After
all, there were bodyguards in the car, and she didn’t want to talk to him at the moment.
Throughout the journey, his gaze frequently fell on the girl beside him, appreciating her elegant and
beautiful profile. It was like admiring a static painting; the view gave him the urge to make a drawing of
her and preserve it.
Finally, they arrived at the Flintstone Residence. After getting out of the car, she opened the door,
inviting the man inside before entering herself.
“All right, scold me however you want!” Zacharias opened his hands. Shirley looked at him with strange
eyes. “Why would I scold you?” “Didn’t I ruin your blind date today? Aren’t you angry?” She had been
quietly pouting during their journey home. With his chest tightened nervously, he wanted to let off some
steam when they came back to the residence. She shook her head. “No need. I’ll explain this to
Grandma later.” “Why do you have to do that?” He raised his eyebrows.
“Do you think now is the right time to be in a relationship? You better focus on your work!” Shirley
advised. Zacharias had just taken office. If rumors of their relationship spread, it would surely affect
public opinion.
It could also provide an opportunity for those who had objections to him to use this as a pretext to
suppress him. She hoped he would consolidate his political power before diving into a romantic
relationship.
This was what she had been thinking about throughout the journey. Everything was for his sake.
Zacharias’ handsome face froze for a few seconds. Eventually, he stepped forward, hugged her, and
uttered, “Okay, I’ll listen to you.” Shirley pushed him away, or at least she tried to. But since he didn’t
budge, she stopped resisting. As she let him hold her, she felt the collision of two hearts in the quiet
hall.
However, good things are always short-lived. Tony, who had just arrived, pushed open the door and
saw the two people embracing in the hall. “I caught you again. Are you going to keep refusing to admit
it?” he teased with a smile, his arms crossed.
“We are doing it openly. How are we not admitting it?” Zacharias grumpily looked at his nephew. He felt
like the younger man had disturbed him at the wrong time.
Shirley had nothing to say to this uncle-nephew pair. What kind of uncle would tell his nephew to follow
her anyway? They were definitely on the same side!
