Tony happened to record it when Carlisle sat next to Shirley. He felt a bit anxious, thinking that Zacharias might have competition now. Tony bit his lip, thinking, They are already sitting together!l have to report this to Uncle Zacharias.
Carlisleâs heart also started beating faster. The fragrance from Shirleyâs body was somewhat Intoxicating. He thought it was fortunate that he came; otherwise, he would have missed such a wonderful woman.
âCarlisle usually lives with his parents at the base. Itâs just during his internship in the city. So, I thought of introducing you to each other. You can be friends,â Ava explained. She could see that he liked her granddaughter. Furthermore, she knew about his excellent upbringing since childhood.
Shirley finally realized the reason her grandmother insisted on her dressing up; this was a blind date.
She was too careless!
But she couldnât embarrass her grandmother. At least, she had to be polite.
âYou are so outstanding, Miss Lloyd!â Carlisle praised.
âOh, itâs nothing, Shirley modestly replied.
âMy grandson just obtained two masterâs degrees, and he returned to the country to inherit his fatherâs company. I heard that the companyâs performance this year is even more remarkable!â Lyra complimented her grandson.
Carlisle seemed a bit shy. âAw, shucks. Letâs not talk about me, Grandma.â
âThey are both good kids. And at your age, you both look very compatible. I think you can be friends.
Who knows? You might even become a family in the future!â Ava cheered.
Shirley swallowed hard, wondering why her grandmother didnât give her any heads up. She was caught completely off guard. âGrandma, I havenât had enough fun yet!â She laughed.
Lyra was broad-minded. âItâs okay. Even if you decide to get married, thereâs no rush to have children.
You can take a few more years to enjoy yourselves before starting a family. My grandson can share those enjoyable moments with you.â
Shirleyâs face was filled with embarrassment.
Why did the conversation suddenly turn to having children?
At this moment, Tony sent the video to Zacharias and simultaneously sent a voice message. âBad news, Uncle Zacharias. My Goddess is actually on a date with a dude, and that guy is really hot and outstanding.â
Zacharias had planned to rest at home today. However, when his phone kept ringing incessantly, he finally picked it up. It turned out to be a video from Tony. As he played it, his pupils immediately dilated.
Sure enough, Shirley went out for a date with a man. So that was why she dressed up in the morning.
Listening to Tonyâs voice message, Zacharias sighed. He pondered, She had just broken up with Cole.
Now sheâs already interested in someone else! Am I not worthy of her affection?
âUncle Zacharias, come quickly to assert your dominance! Iâm afraid someone will snatch my Goddess away if you come too late!â Tony sent another voice message, accompanied by a photo of Shirley smiling brilliantly at Carlisle.
Zacharias, now dressed, took a glance at the photo. While dialing Royâs phone number, he fixed his clothes and hairstyle.
âPrepare a car for me; I need to go out for a while,â Zacharias ordered before hanging up the phone.
Normally, Zacharias wouldnât pay too much attention to his hairstyle and dressing at home. However, today was different. Before he went out, he chose a more stylish khaki trench coat, which made him look several years younger.
Once in the car, he asked Tony to send him a location. Royâs car fleet immediately headed toward the given address.
At the same time, the atmosphere remained pleasant as the two elderly ladies chatted together. Shirley and Carlisle acted as listeners, hearing about the struggles of their grandparentsâ generation. When they heard certain stories that made them happy, they couldnât help but exchange smiles.
Tony felt the impulse to intervene several times, but he resisted it. After all, what could he do?
His uncle was the key!
Tony mused, Just wait a little longer. Uncle Zacharias is already on the way. Also, my Goddess doesnât deserve anyone besides Uncle Zacharias.
A black sedan, escorted by three SUVs, entered the street, drawing the attention of many bystanders as such a well-organized motorcade was a rare sight. The tight formation of the convoy didnât allow anyone to cut in.
