Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 2630

“I’ll be staying at my place tonight, then. I probably can’t go back to your place for a few days,” Shirley said. With her parents around, she couldn’t stay overnight at someone else’s place.

“It’s alright. Spend some time with your family.” Zacharias chuckled. “I can hold it in.”

Shirley chuckled, too. “What if I can’t hold it in?”

“Then you come to me anytime you want,” Zacharias responded in a husky voice.

Shirley blushed. It’s getting worse. Can we even do it if I go at random times? She then imagined how she would flirt with the serious Zacharias, and she thought she was getting a little pervy.

After the call, Shirley went out with her parents to get some Christmas stuff. Moreover, they had to visit their relatives. Three days went by, and not once did Shirley get to see Zacharias. She couldn’t even call him at night, worried that he might be seeing guests.

She would love to video call him at eleven, but it was too late, and she didn’t want to disturb him. He would be having an early day the next day. Eventually, Shirley’s longing was getting too heavy to bear.

The same went for Zacharias. Every day, when he came back home from work, it was already late at night. He missed Shirley dearly, but he didn’t want to wake her up, so he held his longing back. Unbeknownst to him, Shirley would also be in her bed thinking about him.

Ugh, it’s so hard just to see him now that I’m not at his place. She started missing the days at his residence. She could see him any time she wanted to.

Time passed, and it was now two days before Christmas. It had been five days since Shirley saw Zacharias. She texted him, ‘You busy? Can we meet up for just ten minutes?’

Zacharias called her. Shirley’s heart raced, and she took the call. “Hello?”
