Night of Destiny (Anastasia Tillman)

Chapter 2621

Zacharias took Shirley’s hand. “Let’s go. Let’s enjoy ourselves over the next three days.”

Shirley followed him into the resort. A group of servants were welcoming them, giving them presents

and flowers. Shirley took the flowers. A steward said, “Sir, madam, please take a break on the second

floor. We shall serve afternoon tea shortly.”

Shirley was stunned. Madam? Do these people not know the relationship we share? Do they think I’m

his wife?

Zacharias held his laughter in. He put an arm around Shirley’s shoulder and said, “Let’s head to the

second floor then, madam.”

Shirley pursed her lips, holding her laughter in as Zacharias took her to the second floor. Right after

they came to the landing, she gave Zacharias a questioning look.

Zacharias chuckled. “Don’t you like how they address you?”

Shirley loved it, but she still wasn’t his wife, so she felt nervous being addressed that way. “I do. Shirley

smiled. She then convinced herself, “It’s not like anyone else is going to hear that here. I’ll be your wife,

then.”

Zacharias smiled. “This could be a trial run for our marriage, then.”

Shirley thought it was sweet. We’ll see how things go. I can tell my folks we’re dating once we get back

home. We don’t have to be worried about how the public will see us.

Shirley and Zacharias took their seats in the lounge on the second floor. Shirley was tired and hungry NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.

from the trip here, for it had taken them nearly three hours.

A moment later, the steward led a group of servants over to them. The servants were holding exquisite

platters, and the food was exquisite. This was where Flor’s royalty’s guests were served, so everything

felt regal.

Once the servants had taken their leave, Shirley picked up a nice piece of toast and took a bite. Her

eyes lit up. “Oh, this is nice.”

Zacharias hadn’t taken his food, but when Shirley said the toast was nice, he took her wrist and fed

himself with her toast. He bit on the spot she’d taken a bite out of. “It’s nice,” he praised.

Shirley smiled at him. “You just love taking my food.”

“Yeah. It tastes better after you have a bite.” Zacharias cocked an eyebrow. she felt sweeter than the

dessert before her.

After teatime, Shirley wanted to stroll around the rose garden. The place was gorgeous; even a little

time in the garden could cheer her up. Zacharias went with her. Shirley walked ahead of him, staring

around. Her hair was untied, and it billowed in the wind. Even her profile stunned Zacharias.

The roses were gorgeous, but to Zacharias, Shirley was more captivating still. He only had eyes for her

and nothing else.

Shirley felt his gaze focused on her, and her heart started to race. She turned around, looking at him.

He was in a suit, his shoulders were broad, his hair was slick, and his features were sculpted and regal.

Shirley looked around. Alright, there’s no one here. She grinned, approaching Zacharias before holding

his shoulder. Zacharias put an arm around her waist and pulled her into his embrace. Then, Shirley

kissed him.

A surge of warmth, burning for Zacharias, coursed through Shirley’s veins. Shyly, she leaned against

Zacharias’ chest and listened to the beat of his heart.

“It’s cold out here. Let’s go inside.” Zacharias took her back into the residence.

Shirley followed him, but a servant was leading them. This place was huge, and the servant took them

to the master bedroom. When Shirley saw her luggage inside, she blinked and looked at Zacharias.

Quietly, she asked, “They can’t be having us share a room, can they?”
