After breakfast, Tony and Shirley went out. On the way, she couldn’t help but ask him, “What does your
uncle like?”
He thought for a while before responding, “I’m not sure.” She continued to ask, “If a girl wants to give a
gift to a guy, what kind of things should she choose?”
“A belt, a tie, or a watch. Maybe not a watch. Watches are considered unlucky as gifts. Bracelets are a
good option,” Tony replied. He then yfully asked, “Are you nning to pick a gift for my uncle?”
“Yes. I’m nning to get him a gift.”
“In that case, why not choose underwear?” He teased her.
“Be serious,” Shirley said whileughing.
“Alright. How about a bracelet? I know a shop that’s known for bracelets that have been blessed by
masters,” Tony suggested.
“Really? Will he like it?”
“He’ll like it as long as it’s a gift from you,” Tony replied.
Shirley didn’t have much confidence in that statement, but she thought that a bracelet was a good
choice since Zacharias had personalized belts and ties already.
So, Tony took her to a bracelet store and she was amazed by some of the prices she saw. However,
she found one that she could afford.
She picked up a purple sandalwood bracelet and examined it carefully. Then, she asked Tony, “What
about this one?”
“It’s good. The color suits my uncle. It looks mature and dignified.”

“Let’s go with this one, then!” Shirley decided to choose this one. After making the purchase, Tony took
her back to the residence. Shirley was in high spirits. today. She felt like she had been liberated. She
felt free and was full of joy.
Upon hearing from the servant that Zacharias was currently in the third-floor study, she went upstairs
with the gift.
After opening the door, she saw the man standing by the floor-to-ceiling window. He had already known
that she was back.
“Here. I picked a gift for you. Take a look and see if you like it,” she said to him with a brighter and more
yful demeanor.
Zacharias reached out to take the gift bag from her, and from inside, he retrieved a wooden box. Inside
the box was a bracelet, which he put on his wrist. Itplemented his wristwatch nicely.
“Nice. I like it.’ He readily epted the gift. Shirley asked, “Do you know when my father and the others
will arrive?”
“They’ll be here in about half an hour, Zacharias answered since he was the one in contact with
Richard. Her expression became visibly nervous and she said, “I’ll go back to my room and pack my
luggage then.”
As Zacharias watched her eager desire to leave, his heart was anxious, but he didn’t know how to hold
onto her.
“Shirley, I want to ask you a question.” He called out to her. Shirley turned to him while asking, “What’s
the question?”
“Have you ever liked me during the time wer spent together?” he inquired bluntly.
She was initially surprised by the question but then answered seriously, “Mr. Flintstone, you have
always been someone I deeply respect. Regardless of where I am in the future, I will remember your
care for me. Goodbye.”
Having said that, she pushed the door and left, leaving him with an increasingly unpleasant expression
on his face.
Half an hourter, a ck SUV arrived. Shirley had already ced her luggage in the living room. She
hurried out to greet her father, who had stepped out of the front passenger seat. She started feeling
anxious, and as a result, she spoke in a softer-than-usual voice.
“Dad, you’re here.”
As she looked around, she noticed Imogen getting out of the car. Imogen seemed nervous too, and the
two of them exchanged nces.
At this moment, Zacharias’ imposing figure emerged from behind Shirley. When Imogenid eyes on
him, her gaze widened.
Imogen was three years older than Shirley, so she had a more mature mindset and higher emotional
awareness. She had seen Zacharias on television before, but she hadn’t anticipated that seeing him in
person would make her heart race,
However, she suppressed all her emotions and didn’t let them show.
