My Baby’s Daddy novel (Anastasia) novel Chapter 2599

She tried her best not to watch Zacharias and the lady dancing. Yet, she couldn’t help her eyes from wandering when she saw Zacharias putting a hand on the lady’s waist, and the lady’s hand was on his shoulder. They were shaking hands, too. At this point, she’d forgotten about the wine she was tasting. Her heart was squeezing with each interaction. All she could taste was jealousy.

Since Shirley was now alone, a few of the gentlemen there had their eyes on her. They’d like to be acquainted with this exotic lady. Plus, it didn’t hurt that she had a smoking hot body.

Even though Zacharias was dancing with another lady, he was paying attention to Shirley. When he saw her drinking alone, his heart tightened as well. Just then, another guy was starting to hit on her. He wanted to end the dance right away. Fortunately, the dance was only about six minutes. The foreign lady finished the dance, looking bashful. Nonetheless, there was delight in her eyes as she remarked shyly, “You dance well, Mr. Flintstone. I’d love to dance with you next time.”

“Excuse me for a moment,” said Zacharias politely. He then strode up to Shirley.

A gentleman was trying to hit on Shirley. Just when he was about to ask her to dance with him, someone behind Shirley said, “Sorry, but she’ll be dancing with me next.”

A surprised Shirley swiveled her head and saw Zacharias standing behind her. The other guy backed out of the competition the moment he laid his eyes on Zacharias, smiling and excusing himself.

Shirley had finished her drink. She was about to take another sip, but Zacharias pulled the glass away. “The glass is empty.”

Shirley looked at him awkwardly and put the glass down. Then, she looked at Zacharias. “So, you had fun dancing with her, didn’t you?”

Zacharias knew she was jealous, but he had no time to savor it. He knew he had to cheer Shirley up, or it’d be a disaster. “I’m sorry. I should’ve declined,” said Zacharias.
