Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 2621

Zacharias took Shirley’s hand. “Let’s go. Let’s enjoy ourselves over the next three days.”

Shirley followed him into the resort. A group of servants were welcoming them, giving them presents and flowers. Shirley took the flowers. A steward said, “Sir, madam, please take a break on the second floor. We shall serve afternoon tea shortly.”

Shirley was stunned. Madam? Do these people not know the relationship we share? Do they think I’m his wife?

Zacharias held his laughter in. He put an arm around Shirley’s shoulder and said, “Let’s head to the second floor then, madam.”

Shirley pursed her lips, holding her laughter in as Zacharias took her to the second floor. Right after they came to the landing, she gave Zacharias a questioning look.

Zacharias chuckled. “Don’t you like how they address you?”

Shirley loved it, but she still wasn’t his wife, so she felt nervous being addressed that way. “I do. Shirley smiled. She then convinced herself, “It’s not like anyone else is going to hear that here. I’ll be your wife, then.”

Zacharias smiled. “This could be a trial run for our marriage, then.”

Shirley thought it was sweet. We’ll see how things go. I can tell my folks we’re dating once we get back home. We don’t have to be worried about how the public will see us.

Shirley and Zacharias took their seats in the lounge on the second floor. Shirley was tired and hungry from the trip here, for it had taken them nearly three hours.
