“Tony, you look like you’re itching somewhere. Do you want me to give you a scratch?” Shirley playfully taunted.

“Uncle Zacharias, Uncle Zacharias, you better control your future wife! She’s threatening me.” Tony immediately

hid behind Zacharias while chuckling. Shirley was left speechless.

But Zacharias was in a good mood. “She wouldn’t punish you if you hadn’t provoked her?”

Tony immediately said, “I knew that you two would be on each other’s side. What am I even doing here?”

“You’re becoming more and more unruly!” Shirley remarked angrily with her hands on her hips. Tony finally stopped

joking. Still, he had put a lot of effort into making Zacharias marry Shirley.

Zacharias had never noticed any lovable qualities in Tony before, but today, Zacharias found his nephew a bit cute.

“I’m ignoring you guys. I’m going back to my room. Pretend I don’t exist. If you want to act all lovey-dovey or sleep

together, go ahead. I won’t disturb you,” Tony quickly went upstairs, genuinely afraid that Shirley would hit him.

Once Tony left, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly became a bit suggestive. Zacharias looked at Shirley. “If you’re

still scared tonight, my room is always open for you.”

“No, I’d rather go ghost hunting than sleep in your bed,” she retorted nonchalantly.

Zacharias chuckled. “I didn’t expect you to know how to hunt ghosts, Miss Lloyd. Impressive. But before you go to

sleep, can you make me a cup of coffee? I still have to work overtime.”

“Coffee at this hour? No wonder you have trouble sleeping. Relying on sleeping pills daily isn’t a solution either. How

about switching to tea?” Shirley suggested.

Zacharias suddenly felt loved. He smiled and said, “Alright, I’ll go with your suggestion.”

He then went upstairs. She made him a cup of tea, carrying it to his study. Watching the man put on his silver-

framed glasses again, his air of nobility seemed even stronger. She couldn’t help but steal a few more glances

before leaving. When she got back to her room, her phone beeped. It was a message from Imogen. ‘Shirley, sorry I

didn’t see you in the car just now.

Shirley replied, ‘It’s okay. If your injury isn’t healed, take a break for now!”

This minor injury is nothing. It seems like you have a good relationship with Mr. Flintstone, Imogen inquired.

Shirley hesitated briefly. Aware of Imogen’s crush on Zacharias, Shirley found herself uncertain about how to

respond. Then, she stated, ‘I’m just ensuring his safety during travels.’

Imogen sent another message. ‘Shirley, if you ever develop feelings for Mr. Flintstone, you have to let me know. I

won’t feel burdened then.’

Shirley sighed. She was unprepared for the conversation to take such a weighty turn.

‘Shirley, you said you wouldn’t like Mr. Flintstone. Do you already have someone you like?’ Imogen persisted in her

questioning. Shirley truly didn’t know how to answer Imogen’s question.

‘It’s okay, Shirley. There’s certainly no chance for me and Mr. Flintstone, but you have a chance! You and Mr.

Flintstone make a great match.

Shirley reflected on her previous assurance to Imogen. She stated that she wouldn’t develop feelings for Zacharias.

Hence, she knew that expressing any desire to pursue him now would contradict herself. So, she replied, ‘Imogen, I

haven’t thought about matters of the heart right now.

Imogen, who was in the dormitory, had a calculating look in her eyes. She knew Shirley was loyal and respected

their friendship. She quickly sent another message. ‘Don’t worry too much about Mr. Flintstone showing concern for

me tonight!’ She deliberately emphasized Zacharias’ concern for her, wanting Shirley to know that she had caught

his attention.

Shirley didn’t pay much attention to it. She replied, ‘Of course not! It’s natural for him to care about you.’

‘Blocking him from knife attacks is not only my duty; it would be my honor to die for him, Imogen expressed..

‘Imogen, don’t say such ominous things, Shirley advised.

‘I mean it. I’m genuinely willing to sacrifice my life for Mr. Flintstone. From the moment I laid eyes on him, I knew

my life would be dedicated to him.
