The bandaging was finally done, but Shirley’s clothes were already stained with blood, so she couldn't wear them anymore. The man removed the cardigan he was wearing and put it on her. She instantly warmed up under the thick and warm material, but the man was only wearing a thin, white button-down underneath.

This night seemed slow and long, and after Shirley returned to the Flintstone Residence with Zacharias and informed her mother that she was hsafely, she rested in his embrace, feeling exhausted. Forgetting how her hands were stained with blood while killing a person this evening, she drifted off to sleep peacefully.

On the other hand, Zacharias was sleepless. Propping himself with one arm, he stared at the girl in his arms with a mix of emotions in his chest-self-blame, heartbrokenness, and a strong feeling of love. She loved him more than her life. Lowering his head, he planted a kiss on her forehead. | love you more than my life, too.

When sunlight once again poured over the land the next day, the world seemed so beautiful and peaceful.

Dressed in her night robe, Shirley was at the staircase landing on the second floor when the delicious smell of breakfast drifted to her nose, and she went downstairs, following the trail of the aroma. Then, she found Zacharias cooking in the kitchen because the cook wasn’t on duty today. After approaching him, she hugged him around the waist from behind and rested her head on his shoulder.

Zacharias spun around and kissed her on the top of her head. “Why don’t you head over to the dining table first? Breakfast will be ready soon.” A smile spread across her face. “It’s my honor to have breakfast made by you.” “As long as you like it, I'll prepare breakfast for you all my life,” he replied, turning his head back. However, Shirley shook her head. “It's enough every once in a while. You have more important matters to attend to.” As she was fully aware of the responsibilities and missions he had, she wouldn't take up his time. Besides loving her, he needed to love his country more.

After breakfast, she received a call from her mother. This afternoon, they were invited to lunch at the White House, and she would be attending with Zacharias. Be x § going to my granduncle’s place for lunch today,” she said to Zacharias after hanging up.

Zacharias nodded. “Okay. | didn’t even get to meet your father last night. It’s great that | can use this opportunity to meet him now.” “We're not going to talk about work when we're there. We'll just enjoy our lunch together.” Sure. We can also discuss our marriage with your family,” he added, placing his hands around her waist. “Are you willing to be Mrs. Flintstone?” Lifting her head, she asked, “Are there any benefits to being Mrs. Flintstone?” Squinting his eyes, he thought about it and lowered his head, asking, “I'll love you my whole life. Is that considered a benefit?” She nodded. “Yes, itis!” Avoiding her injured shoulder, he held her around her waist, leaned in, and took her lips. Naturally, she returned the kiss.

“Ahem!” An out-of-place voice echoed just then, and Freddie showed up with an urgent document in his hand.

“Mr. Zacharias, your signature is required for this urgent document.” “Looks like you're giving up on your bonus this month, Zacharias grumbled. Chuckling, Shirley whacked him gently. “You're not allowed to cut his bonus. He's just doing his job.

Feeling grateful, Freddie thought, Thankfully, Miss Lloyd is sensible! At the grand lobby of the White House, Shirley and Zacharias saw that her parents had arrived before them.

Judging from her mother’s face as she spoke to her grandaunt, Shirley knew that her mother had no idea about anything that happened last night. A tacit agreement had already been established between her and her father a long tago; as long as it was anything dangerous, they would hide it from her mother to avoid making her worried.

“Zach, cand join us for a cup of tea upstairs!” Richard invited.

Given the situation, he didn’t address him according to his status but treated him as his son-in-law. In response, Zacharias gave him a nod and went upstairs with him after meeting Shirley’s eyes for a second. While the men were discussing work, Shirley stayed by her mother’s side for a casual conversation.

“What a perfect match Shirley and Zach are! | think they're a match made in heaven.” As the First Lady, Ruka was very friendly.
