My Baby’s Daddy novel (Anastasia) novel Chapter 2577

Before Tony could come around, an annoyed voice commanded, “Get out.”

Finally, Tony snapped out of it, and he quickly apologized with a grin, “Sorry for the intrusion. You two, please continue.”

With that, he scurried off, closing the door behind him. Shirley’s face turned red with embarrassment. Great, there’s no clarifying the situation anymore! And what was I thinking last night, sleeping in Zacharias’ bed?

She lifted the covers, got out of bed, and hastily opened the door to leave. Just as she stepped out, she saw Tony still there. However, he didn’t make fun of her. Instead, he asked, “Goddess, did you sleep well last night?”

“It’s not what you think. Your uncle took sleeping pills, and I was just keeping him company…” Shirley tried to explain, but Tony’s eyes were teasing, making her realize that the explanation was futile.

“Never mind. Nothing happened between us,” she said and went downstairs. After returning to her room, she took a few breaths to calm down. Good Lord, that was embarrassing!

Twenty minutes later, Zacharias came downstairs dressed in a classic black suit, exuding a captivating charm.

“Sir, the convoy is ready. We can leave now,” Freddie said.

“How did you handle those people from last night?” Zacharias asked.

“They’ve all been arrested.”

“Don’t let them off easily,” Zacharias grunted in a deep voice. Although Freddie didn’t understand how those thugs offended Zacharias, he knew that this matter had to be handled with caution.

Shirley, who was on the second floor, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Zacharias’ convoy leaving. As she touched her face, it was still warm, as if the man’s warmth lingered on her, even though nothing had happened last night.

After breakfast, Shirley returned to her room to watch the news. She eagerly looked for glimpses of the man in the news. Although there were only a few shots, Shirley deliberately paused to stare at him.

She couldn’t help but imagine how he would look if he hadn’t slept well last night and dozed off in this setting! At the same time, Ava had just called her good friend. “Lyra, your grandson is still in the country, right?”

“Yes, he won’t be leaving until after the New Year.”

“How about we meet up this weekend? I’d like to introduce my granddaughter to your grandson.”

Just then, a black car pulled up from outside. Shirley didn’t expect Zacharias to return at this time. She opened the door to welcome him, but to her surprise, Zacharias remained in the car.

“Aren’t you getting out?” Shirley curiously asked.

“Go change into something else. I’ll wait for you here,” said Zacharias, stupefying her. “Why are you waiting for me?”

“To go to Mr. Husson’s house for dinner, of course. Did you not receive the call?” Zacharias asked in return. Shirley was rendered speechless. What? He’s going too? But Granduncle didn’t say anything about it!

“Are you sure we’re going together?” she checked.

“Do you want to go separately?” Zacharias questioned, finding her question somewhat amusing. “Of course, we’re going together.”

Shirley had hoped not to have dinner with him that night, but who’d have thought she was still having dinner with him?
