“Alright, you can go hnow.”

“Why?”

“I need to spend talone with her. You're too much of a third wheel.”

Tony was stumped. Have | said all that just to be kicked out? “Can you get any more heartless, Uncle Zacharias? |

promise you won't even know I'm here.”

“Stay away for three days,” Zacharias said.

“But | just arrived last night,” Tony complained. Zacharias glanced at his wristwatch every now and then,

calculating the time. She has been gone for almost an hour. Where did she go? She's not secretly seeing

someone outside again, is she? Zacharias picked up his phone and dialed a certain woman's number.

“Hello?” she answered.

“Cback,” the man requested, his tone gentle but authoritative. Shirley, who had been slacking off and

playing with her phone at Imogen'’s, sighed after receiving the call. “I'm heading back now,” she said to Imogen.

“Was that Mr. Flintstone?” Imogen asked.

“Yes. He might have an assignment for me,” Shirley replied.

“Go on, don’t keep him waiting,” Imogen told her. At that, Shirley got up and left, and Imogen watched her

retreating figure, her smile gradually fading. When Shirley returned to the living room, Tony immediately greeted

her. “Goddess, you're back.”

She walked up to Zacharias and asked, “Mr. Flintstone, is there something you need?”

Zacharias didn’t have any specific business. It was his rare day off at home, so he made a casual excuse. “Join

Shirley blinked in response. Your family home?

“Can | refuse?” she asked. “You can have the others escort you.”

Zacharias had a friendly expression, but the words that cout of his mouth left Shirley speechless.

“I don’t want anyone else but you,” he said.

At that, Shirley could only agree, “Alright, I'll join you.”

And so, Zacharias dialed his father’s number and said, “Dad, Miss Lloyd and | will be coming hfor lunch.”

“Great, please bring Miss Lloyd with you!” Josef was more than glad to have Shirley over. Zacharias stood up and

said, “I'll go upstairs to change.”

Tony took the opportunity to strike up a conversation with Shirley. “Goddess, what do you think of my uncle?”

“Think of him in what way?”

“His looks, physique, status-are all of these satisfactory to you?” Tony inquired, trying to gauge Shirley's feelings

for Zacharias. Shirley squinted her eyes and thought for a moment. “They're fine.”

“You can only imagine the number of women who tried to win my uncle’s heart in the past. Who'd have thought

the person to win his heart in the end would be you?” Tony teased her. Curious, Shirley asked, “He had many

pursuers in the past?”

“Yeah! There were tons. As far as | know, every woman who had dealings with him wanted to be with him,” Tony

said matter-of-factly.

At that, Shirley couldn't help overthinking. No wonder that guy is so good at kissing. He must have had many

romantic encounters in the past.

She bit her lips, and an unexpected feeling of annoyance began to surface, even unbeknownst to herself.

“Seems like your uncle is pretty popular with women,” Shirley remarked. Tony grinned and said, “But he only has

eyes for you! Those girls from before, he wouldn't even spare them a glance.”

However, Shirley didn’t buy his claim. She huffed, “Sure, he’s never spared them even a glance.”

Immediately, Tony defended his uncle. “It’s true! You're the first girl he’s pursued, and | believe you'll be the last

one because he will marry you.”

Shirley cleared her throat in response. “Am | supposed to marry him just because he wants to marry me? | have

no plans on getting married.”

Coincidentally, Zacharias overheard her as he descended the stairs, and he frowned. Who is this girl waiting for?

“Goddess, guys like Uncle Zacharias are hard to cby. You should just marry him. You won't regret it.”

Shirley couldn't help but burst into laughter at Tony’s attempt to promote his uncle. Just then, the sound of

footsteps rang out from behind them, and the two quieted down immediately.

Zacharias ultimately decided to bring Tony along.
