Some people speculated that the person inside the car might be a big shot in some field. These people guessed
right, but he was not just a big shot-it was more than that!
“Mr. Flintstone, are you sure you want to go up alone?” Roy asked, worried. In the back seat, Zacharias had already
put on his mask. He nodded. “Yes, I’ll go up alone. All of you can wait downstairs.”
“But… your safety…”
Zacharias waved his hand. “No need to worry. I’m safe.” With that, he pushed open the car door and stepped out,
his tall and handsome figure drawing the attention of women.
Regardless of their age, women couldn’t help but take a second look at him. Although his face wasn’t visible, his
presence alone exuded exceptional charisma.
Zacharias walked into the restaurant step by step. The waiter opened the door, and he ascended to the second
floor. When Tony saw him coming and realized he was alone, he immediately stood up in surprise. “Uncle
Zacharias! Where are your bodyguards?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“I don’t need them. Where is Shirley?” Zacharias asked, squinting.
Tony pointed ahead. “In that private room.”
Zacharias let out a sigh. “Is her grandmother here?”
“Yup! There are four of them. Two elderly women, my Goddess, and a man,” Tony informed him.
After hearing that, Zacharias adjusted his tie slightly. It was evident that he was somewhat anxious about meeting
Shirley’s grandmother.
“Uncle Zacharias, are you nervous?” Tony giggled when he saw through Zacharias’ facade. It turned out that even
his usually confident uncle had moments of self-doubt.
Zacharias didn’t say anything. Instead, he walked toward the private room. Shirley stood up to pour tea, starting
with her grandmother and then moving on to Lyra and Carlisle.
“Thank you,” Carlisle said with a gentle and joyful tone.
“You’re welcome.” Shirley smiled and poured tea for herself. At that moment, she noticed someone entering. She
wondered if it was the waiter and glanced up. With a single look, she froze while pouring the tea, making it spill over
the cup. She quickly put down the teapot as she gawked incredulously at the tall man standing at the door. She
wondered why Zacharias was here.
“Young man, who are you looking for?” Ava asked curiously. She wondered why a young man suddenly came to
their private room. Zacharias pointed at Shirley. “I’m here for her.”
Feeling a sudden urge to exit, Shirley hesitated. Regrettably, the room’s layout forced her to navigate past Carlisle.
With a polite smile, she murmured, “Excuse me for a moment.”
As Carlisle moved his legs aside, her leg brushed against his. However, a certain man’s sharp eyes narrowed
dangerously as he noticed this.
She grabbed Zacharias by the arm and pulled him out, exclaiming, “Why are you here? Who told you to come?”
“It was I!” Tony chimed in.
She turned to him in surprise. “And how come you’re here too?”
“Uncle Zacharias asked me to follow you early in the morning. He suspected you were going to meet a man, and it
turns out he was right.” Tony spilled the entire plan.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShirley was taken aback. Looking at the man who shouldn’t be in the restaurant, she couldn’t help feeling jumpy.
“Go home!”
“What’s your relationship with him?” Zacharias stared at her face and questioned her.
“We are just friends!” she replied casually. After all, describing Carlisle as a potential partner would be even more
inappropriate.
“Goddess, don’t lie to Uncle Zacharias. Do you like that guy, or do you like my uncle?” Tony asked, crossing his arms
over his chest.
‘I haven’t eaten yet. Let’s have a meal together!” Zacharias suddenly wanted to dine with Shirley. His suggestion to
stay and eat here surprised her, and she found it even more inappropriate.
“No…” she whispered in refusal. However, the man turned and walked into the private room. She hurriedly followed
before she heard Zacharias introducing himself, “Hello, Grandma. I am Zacharias Flintstone, Shirley’s boyfriend.”
Shirley felt like this man had gone crazy. How could he assume the role of her boyfriend so naturally when they
hadn’t even started anything? He spoke so naturally about something that hadn’t happened yet.
Ava was astonished. “You are Shirley’s boyfriend?”
