My Baby’s Daddy novel (Anastasia) novel Chapter 2491

“Does it hurt?” Shirley asked with concern.

“Yes,” the man replied. She immediately blew on his fingertips. “Be careful not to burn your hand.” She thought to herself that he must be overwhelmed by grief and sorrow for his mother..

“Do you need me to help you light it?” Shirley asked. Upon seeing four sets of candles beside him, she was worried that the man would burn his fingers again. Zacharias pursed his lips and smiled. “Sure. Let’s do it together.”

After saying that, he handed her the candle and then looked toward the direction of the tombstone. In his heart, he was communicating with his mother. “Mom, I brought your future daughter-in-law to visit you. Are you happy in the afterlife?”

The girl lighting the candle next to him was completely unaware of his emotions.

After lighting the candle, the smoke was scattered in the wind and quickly disappeared as if blowing toward another world.

When Zacharias stood up, he bowed his head in silence for a few seconds toward the grave, then turned back to the car with Shirley following him.

The car drove back toward the direction of the mountain villa. Shirley tidied up, and Zacharias received several phone calls in succession. It was time for them to return. At 11.30AM, they set off back to the city.

Due to his prominent identity, they couldn’t stop for a meal, even if restaurants were on the way. When they arrived at the Flintstone Residence, it was already almost 2.30PM.

Just as Shirley got out of the car, she saw someone coming out of the Flintstone Residence. It turned out that their lunch had already been delivered.

Zacharias was once again busy with the phone calls and Shirley stood by the dining table waiting for him. After finishing the call, he found her standing .there, like a straight tree.

It was almost 3.00PM now. Zacharias couldn’t help but frown. He walked quickly to the dining table and said, “Let’s eat.”

Shirley nodded and sat down, but Zacharias’ mind was clearly not on the meal. His eyes were full of emotions.

How could he allow her the chance to spend the night with that man? So, he was only willing to give her half a day off.

Although she was not satisfied in her heart, having a half-day off was better than nothing. Besides, she could try to ask for an extension later.

“Okay. I’ll be back to work after 3.00PM. Is that okay?” She wanted to treat Cole to a meal!

“Sure,” the man replied. Shirley pursed her lips and was unable to hide her joy. Zacharias, on the other hand, became more certain that she was going to meet her crush.

She had no appetite for food anymore, and he was also not in the mood. He put down his fork and said, “I’ll hire a housekeeper to take care of the housework in the future. You don’t need to do it yourself.”
