Chapter 2566
“Alright, you can go home now.” “Why?” “I need to spend time alone with her. You’re too much of a third
wheel.” Tony was stumped. Have I said all that just to be kicked out? “Can you get any more heartless,
Uncle Zacharias? I promise you won’t even know I’m here.” “Stay away for three days,” Zacharias said.
“But I just arrivedst night,” Tonyined. Zacharias nced at his wristwatch every now and
then, calcting the time. She has been gone for almost an hour. Where did she go? She’s not secretly
seeing someone outside again, is she? Zacharias picked up his phone and dialed a certain woman’s
number.
“Hello?” she answered.
“Come back,” the man requested, his tone gentle but authoritative. Shirley, who had been cking off
and ying with her phone at Imogen’s, sighed after receiving the call. “I’m heading back now,” she
said to Imogen.
“Was that Mr. Flintstone?” Imogen asked.
“Yes. He might have an assignment for me,” Shirley replied.
“Go on, don’t keep him waiting,” Imogen told her. At that, Shirley got up and left, and Imogen watched
her retreating figure, her smile gradually fading. When Shirley returned to the living room, Tony
immediately greeted her. “Goddess, you’re back.” She walked up to Zacharias and asked, “Mr.
Flintstone, is there something you need?” Zacharias didn’t have any specific business. It was his rare
day off at home, so he made a casual excuse. “Join me for lunch at my family home.” Shirley blinked in
response. Your family home?
“Can I refuse?” she asked. “You can have the others escort you.” Zacharias had a friendly expression,
but the words that came out of his mouth left Shirley speechless.
“I don’t want anyone else but you,” he said.
At that, Shirley could only agree, “Alright, I’ll join you.” And so, Zacharias dialed his father’s number
and said, “Dad, Miss Lloyd and I will being home for lunch.” “Great, please bring Miss Lloyd with
you!” Josef was more than d to have Shirley over. Zacharias stood up and said, “I’ll go upstairs to
change.” Tony took the opportunity to strike up a conversation with Shirley. “Goddess, what do you
think of my uncle?” “Think of him in what way?” “His looks, physique, status-are all of these satisfactory
to you?” Tony inquired, trying to gauge Shirley’s feelings for Zacharias. Shirley squinted her eyes and
thought for a moment. “They’re fine.” “You can only imagine the number of women who tried to win my
uncle’s heart in the past. Who’d have thought the person to win his heart in the end would be you?”
Tony teased her. Curious, Shirley asked, “He had many pursuers in the past?” “Yeah! There were tons.
As far as I know, every woman who had dealings with him wanted to be with him,” Tony said matter-of-
factly.
At that, Shirley couldn’t help overthinking. No wonder that guy is so good at kissing. He must have had
many romantic encounters in the past.

She bit her lips, and an unexpected feeling of annoyance began to surface, even unbeknownst to
herself.
“Seems like your uncle is pretty popr with women,” Shirley remarked. Tony grinned and said, “But he
only has eyes for you! Those girls from before, he wouldn’t even spare them a nce.” However,
Shirley didn’t buy his im. She huffed, “Sure, he’s never spared them even a nce.” Immediately,
Tony defended his uncle. “It’s true! You’re the first girl he’s pursued, and I believe you’ll be thest one
because he will marry you.” Shirley cleared her throat in response. “Am I supposed to marry him just
because he wants to marry me? I have no ns on getting married.” Coincidentally, Zacharias
overheard her as he descended the stairs, and he frowned. Who is this girl waiting for?
“Goddess, guys like Uncle Zacharias are hard toe by. You should just marry him. You won’t regret
it.” Shirley couldn’t help but burst intoughter at Tony’s attempt to promote his uncle. Just then, the
sound of footsteps rang out from behind them, and the two quieted down immediately.
Zacharias ultimately decided to bring Tony along.
