Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 2479

Shirley heard footsteps behind her. She turned around and locked eyes with the man descending the stairs.

“The dumplings are ready. I’ll bring them out in. a moment.” She smiled at him. Under the light, her bright and lively eyes reflected the surrounding crystal lights, making them sparkle.

The man couldn’t tear his gaze away for a moment. Shirley brought out the first bowl of dumplings. Her long, smooth, and black hair. was tied into a simple bun, with a few strands of bangs falling gracefully on her beautiful cheeks. In the man’s eyes, she seemed more appetizing than the bowl of dumplings.

She went back to the kitchen. With her back to the man, her slender legs, which were as delicate and fair as snow, were partially covered by the white T-shirt dress, accentuating her curvy and alluring figure.

His gaze became more intense and he couldn’t help but secretly gulp.

“I accidentally made too many dumplings. Please don’t waste them. You have to eat them all!” Shirley brought out the second bowl while. looking a bit embarrassed as she smiled at him.

“Eat with me then.” The man raised an eyebrow. She thought that it would be too much for him: to finish so many dumplings by himself late at night.

“All right. I’ll put a few more in your bowl then,” she said as she used her fork to add a few more to his bowl after taking a few for herself.

Zacharias sat down and savored not just the dumplings but also the light and pleasant atmosphere created by the girl beside him. He had been living here alone for over a year. Unless he requested assistance, the vast mansion had only his solitary figure. Tonight was undeniably destined to be full of vitality, making the night indescribably wonderful.

“Is your work finished? You won’t be working late, will you?” Shirley asked while showing concern.

“Are you worried about me?” Zacharias asked while elegantly chewing his food. She smiled. “Of course. I believe people all over the country care about you.”

His mood was still okay after hearing her first sentence. However, when he heard the official statement in the following sentence, his good mood took a hit.
