Shirley could do anything. Stunned, Zacharias gazed at her, wondering, Is she genuinely insisting on
apanying me? “Why do you have toe with me?” he asked with his arms crossed. His dark
hair was still dripping with water, giving him a sexy and enticing look as the droplets fell on his strong
and full chest.
“Because… I…”
“Because you like me and care about me, hmm?” He finished her sentence. Shirley’s eyes widened,
but she nodded to express her willingness to apany Zacharias abroad. “Yes, that’s the reason.
Can Ie with you?”
His lips curled. Although he forced her to admit it, he was still happy. However, he answered her
question with a touch of indifference. “No.”
“You…” She clenched her fists in frustration. Zacharias began closing the door. In response, Shirley
extended her hand to push it. Just as the door was about to shut, he swiftly reopened it, causing her
pushing motion to transform into a dive directly into his embrace.
The man was clearly doing it on purpose. He opened his arms and embraced her, pressing her face
against his warm and solid shoulder.
Even though she was annoyed, the arm tightly wrapped around her waist prevented her from escaping.
He grinned. “Do you have any ulterior motives foring to me sote at night?”
Shirley thought, He’s obviously the one with ulterior motives, and yet he is pushing this onto me. How
despicable. “Let me go abroad. Still wanting to fight for this, she stayed in Zacharias’ embrace without
struggling.
“The situation abroad is a bit messy. I don’t want you to go,” he honestly expressed his concerns. He
was trying to protect her.
“I’m still going. I’m not scared of death,” she said, raising her head. In her heart, she added, I’m not
afraid of death, but I’m scared of you dying.
He was taken aback by how stubborn she was. He reached out and caressed her head. “Your father
wouldn’t let me take you either.”
“I’m an adult. I can take responsibility for my actions,” Shirley refuted a bit impatiently. “I don’t need my
dad’s approval for everything I do.”
Zacharias couldn’t help but kiss her forehead. “Can you promise to stay by my side and not wander
off?”
Seeing that he seemed to be agreeing, she immediately nodded. “I can promise not to cause trouble.”
Reluctant to bring her along, he found it hard to resist her imploring gaze. In the end, he yielded. “Fine.”
He nodded.

Shirley breathed a sigh of relief. As she only then realized that she was still being held in Zacharias’
embrace, she couldn’t help but ask, “Can you let me go now, Mr. Flintstone?”
He suddenly spoke in a low voice, “If you want to go abroad with me, I have a request.”
She was slightly taken aback and wondered why he had so many demands. So, she looked up and
expressed her eptance. “Okay, go ahead.”
“Will you say yes to anything?” he asked in a low, hoarse voice.
“Yes, I promise you.” She was still too naive.
“Let me kiss you for ten minutes.” Zacharias smiled, very pleased with himself.
“No…” Shirley attempted to refuse, but it was toote. He swiftly grasped the back of her neck, his thin
lips silencing any protest she tried to voice.
At that moment, her mind was tinged with regret. Ten minutes! Is he trying to kill me?
As the man’s lips drew near, she experienced a delightful surge of electricity coursing through her body.
The room appeared to stand still in time. The connection evoked an indescribable sensation of
sweetness and pleasure.
Shirley’s senses spiraled into chaos. The figure beneath her touch wasn’t clothed; it was a man with
firm muscles, emitting warmth like a zing fire. Inexplicably, she found herself enjoying Zacharias’
kisses, craving even more intimate contact.
The man’s kisses expressed love and tenderness-alternating between swift passion and deliberate
slowness as if savoring his most cherished possession. Her tongue was numb, and her breath was
growing shallow. A pervasive sensation of restlessness and indescribable pleasure overcame her as
the man’s lips met hers.
