Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 2569

Josef’s eyes instantly lit up. “Oh! Really?” “It’s true. Uncle Zacharias is in the middle of pursuing her. No need to worry about his love life,” Tony hinted.

Shirley, face flushed, lowered her head and focused on her food. She wished Tony would stop talking about that. Oh, how mortifying. Moreover, she could sense Zacharias’ eyes on her.

“Wonderful. Glad to know that Zach has it at the back of his mind.” Josef nodded. He could tell from Zacharias’ gaze that he liked Shirley. That said, he wouldn’t mention it explicitly.

However, he was worried that Shirley might not be interested in Zacharias. As excellent as his son was, love couldn’t be forced. What if Zach’s not her type?

Besides, Miss Lloyd can marry any man she wants!

As Zacharias had a meeting in the afternoon, he returned to Flintstone Residence after lunch. Shirley, on the other hand, asked Tony to send her to her grandmother’s house.

Zacharias wouldn’t take her along on trips now anyway, so she had plenty of free time. After dropping Shirley off at her grandmother’s, Tony went off for some fun but was also asked by Shirley to pick her up later.

He was more than happy to be of her service, for he had already recognized her as his future aunt-in-law, though she was only three years older than him.

At her grandmothers’, Shirley was a cherished child. Ava not only prepared delicious food for her but also bought her gifts and even clothes.

“Look at you, dressed like a tomboy all the time. How will any boy like you?” Ava complained.

“If nobody likes me, I won’t get married then. I’ll stay with my parents and you, turning into an old spinster.” Shirley teased her grandmother.

Ava immediately opposed this idea. “You can’t think like that. There are so many outstanding young men now. Find one to marry. You’ll have someone to rely on in the future, too.” At that, Ava thought of a friend with an excellent grandson, and she suddenly had an idea. “Shir, are you free this weekend?” Shirley nodded and said, “I’ll have all the time in the world if you need me.” Now that she was familiar with Zacharias, asking for leave was very convenient.
