Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 2521

When Shirley saw the person clearly, she was stunned-it was Zacharias. She gazed at the man beneath the umbrella, who was as calm as water, but his deep eyes revealed a sense of compassion and tenderness toward her.

The snowflakes were shielded by the umbrella, creating a small world exclusively for them. At that moment, the world seemed to grow quieter.

“Why did you come?” Shirley asked. Her face was disheveled as she wiped away the tears and turned her face aside to hide her tears from the man.

However, Zacharias had already seen what he needed to see. “Did you go to see Cole?” he guessed.

“This is my private matter, and I don’t want to discuss it,” she refused to answer.

“Did he reject you?” he asked as he analyzed the situation from Cole’s perspective. He knew that Cole would choose to let go wisely.

At this moment, Zacharias also comprehended that Cole’s feelings for Shirley were sincere, which explained his decision to let go. This was a result of the realization that, due to his profession, Cole couldn’t offer her a stable future. Zacharias empathized with Cole’s choice, acknowledging that if their roles were reversed, he would make the same decision.

The willingness to endure temporary pain for the sake of securing a better future for her was a testament to the depth of his affection.

She bit her lip and remained silent, as this man had already guessed everything, and she had nothing more to say.

In the car not far away, Tony sat observing the pair under the umbrella. Though he couldn’t eavesdrop on their conversation, he sensed an unusual level of care

Zacharias was displaying toward Shirley. Zacharias had left the residence to pick her up and shield her from the snow with an umbrella, privileges not typically afforded to ordinary bodyguards.
