Chapter 2583


    “You said you like flowers this morning. Here you go. They’re yours.” Zacharias handed the bouquet to


    Shirley.


    Despite feeling excited, she only asked him quietly, “Why are you giving me flowers? I don’t have a


    ce to put them.” “Why not? You can take any vase here and put them wherever you like.” He


    chuckled. He had noticed the anticipation in her eyes; it seemed he was gradually making his presence


    felt in her heart.


    After Shirley reached out and took the flowers, Zacharias went to hang his coat.


    A smile unknowingly appeared on her lips when she smelled the fragrance of the flowers.


    She felt a sense of surrealism when she noticed her lips curling. What was happening to her? She had


    been eagerly anticipating him giving her flowers all day.


    And after receiving the flowers, she couldn’t help but be in a much better mood.


    This feeling wasn’t just a simple imagination like the fleeting thoughts about Cole. It was a real


    experience.


    She searched around and found three vases. She wanted to keep this bouquet alive; it was too


    beautiful, and she couldn’t bear to see it wither too quickly.

    Although Shirley didn’t have the skills for flower arranging, the flowers were so vibrant and charming.


    Any random cement created a picturesque scene.


    She left one vase on the dining table. Then, she contemted whether to take another vase to


    Zacharias’ study. Some flowers would enhance the atmosphere there.


    She first ced her vase in her room and then went upstairs to the third floor.


    He had just started working in the study room. She knocked on the door, entered with the vase, and


    asked him, “Do you want a vase of flowers?” He raised an eyebrow. “You haven’t even enjoyed them


    for long, and you’ve already taken the bouquet apart?” Shirley found it amusing, too. Zacharias


    carefully gave her a beautifully wrapped bouquet, and she indeed hadn’t appreciated them for more


    than a few minutes before taking them apart, not even taking a photo.


    But she was quiteid-back about many things. So, she asked again, “Do you want them or not?”


    “Sure.” The man nodded. “Leave them.” After cing the vase on his desk, she noted how it had


    indeed added some life to the room. His mood also improved.


    “Did you personally buy these flowers, or did you have your assistant buy them?” Shirley asked.


    Zacharias certainly couldn’t have personally gone out to buy them. In other words, these beautiful


    flowers must have been chosen by Freddie. Zacharias raised an eyebrow. “I knew you would care


    about this, so I went to pick them up.” She was taken aback, wondering how this man saw through her


    so well. Did he anticipate that she would ask this question?


    “You went out to buy them yourself? Don’t do it next time. Someone of your status shouldn’t appear in


    public.” Shirley became concerned again. She didn’t want Zacharias to attract attention just to buy her


    a bouquet.


    He couldn’t help but chuckle. “A woman’s heart is truly contradictory.” Her pretty face blushed. She


    realized that she was indeed contradicting herself byining that the flowers weren’t personally


    bought by him yet worrying about his safety.


    “Anyway, don’t get out of your car next time,” she reminded him. Beyond the joy of receiving flowers,


    her foremost wish was for this man tostay safe and sound.


    He nodded. “Sure, I’ll listen to you.” “To be honest, I’m not really a fan of flowers. If I like them, I’d prefer


    to grow them myself. I can nt them in your backyard,” Shirley added. Bought flowers had a short


    lifespan. It was also disheartening having to see them wither.


    Zacharias smiled. “Alright, I’ll buy you some flower seeds. You can grow them yourself.” “Good, let’s do


    that.” She also smiled as she nodded. Suddenly, the ambiance in the study lightened, bing


    pleasant. When their gazes met in mid-air, the man’s eyes held a hint of deep affection and indulgence,


    leaving her feeling a bit overwhelmed.


    “Okay, I’ll leave now. I wouldn’t want to disturb you when you are working.” Shirley turned around and


    left.


    As soon as she stepped out, she felt her heart beating faster. As she ced her hand over her chest,


    she realized that her heart wasn’t steady, it was beating irregrly and thumping rapidly.
