Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 2458

When they parted ways, the little girl introduced herself. “Hello, my name is Shirley Lloyd. Will you come to play with me in the future?”

At the age of ten, Zacharias was already 5-feet tall, while four-year-old Shirley was only about 3-feet tall.

ironed, and then hung in the cloakroom for Zacharias.

While ironing the clothes, she felt somewhat speechless. She had never even ironed her father’s clothes, yet now she

found herself coming here every day to iron a man’s clothes.

After finishing ironing the shirts, pants, and suits, she noticed that there was one more item left in the dryer. As she
