“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 calong. “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 cover?” Seeing her genuinely upset, he replied truthfully, “I didn’t want someone else to take you away.” She choked and

said, “Takeaway? What are you talking about? | 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 | 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, scoldhowever you want!” Zacharias opened his hands. Shirley looked at him with strange eyes. “Why would | scold

you?” “Didn’t | 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 ssteam when they cback 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 tto 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’ handsface 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 sside!
