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.

“Okay, reserve this weekend for me. I want you to accompany me for a meal,” Ava said, temporarily avoiding the

topic of matchmaking. She was afraid Shirley wouldn’t agree.

She would already be on the path to success once the two youngsters met. Thus, she decided to deceive her

granddaughter into going if that was what it took.

“Sure, I’ll come and accompany you this weekend.” Shirley nodded. Ava smiled gratifyingly. “I thought your mother

was already old when she married. You should already start seriously looking now. I worry you’ll get too old for the

marriage market if you get too picky.”

“Grandma, I’m not at the age to be pressured into marriage yet, am I?” Shirley argued, finding her grandmother’s

point of view somewhat ridiculous.

“Time passes in the blink of an eye. You should hurry.” Ava had come to an age where she didn’t have much to do

anymore. Now, to her, seeing her granddaughter marry into a good family was her greatest wish.

Seeing how enthusiastic her grandmother was to discuss this topic, Shirley decided to just entertain her. Either way,

she had her own ideas about marriage.

“Alright, I’ll do as you say and think seriously about it.” She nodded.

Sure enough, Ava became even happier, and she got up to bring Shirley the freshly baked buns from the oven. She

had learned to make pastry recently, and she was amazing at it.

She usually baked these for her friends. In no time, the table was filled with various baked goods. Shirley nestled on

the couch and enjoyed her grandmother’s pastries and tea. At 7.30P.M., Shirley’s phone pinged, and she checked it

to find a certain someone urging her.

‘Why haven’t you come back yet?’ Zacharias texted. ‘I’m waiting for Tony to pick me up. It’ll take another moment,

she replied, so he suggested picking her up.

‘No need! Shirley immediately replied again. ‘I don’t want to make a fuss..

‘I’ll urge Tony! Zacharias decided not to press her further.
