Chapter 2490
Night of Destiny
Novel My babyâs daddy chapter 2490-I donât need it. Iâm not afraid of the cold.â
â Shirley shook her head and refused his kindness. However, Zacharias ignored
her refusal and directly draped the windbreaker over her. shoulders. âIf you
catch a cold, Iâll send you to the Royal Hospital and expose your identity.â He
draped it over her while making a threat. She hesitated for a moment and then
obediently slipped her hands into the sleeves. He turned around and buttoned it
up for her. âThis is my windbreaker. Use it for now.â
Having said that, he also wrapped a scarf around her neck. She finally mustered
the courage to refuse him. âI donât like scarves.â
Zacharias furrowed his brows and asked, âWhy?â
âThey make it hard to breathe, Shirley replied, as she genuinely did not like
scarves. He had no choice but to remove the scarf and place it on the couch.
Then, he went to get his own windbreaker.
Both of them were wearing black windbreakers. Shirley surprisingly didnât look
out of place in his oversized windbreaker; instead, it highlighted her delicate
charm.
Zacharias opened the door. The convoy outside was ready. Roy came over in
the cold wind and said, âMr. Flintstone, the fog is quite thick.â
âDrive slowly,â Zacharias instructed.
âUnderstood. Weâll be careful.â
The three-car convoy began to break through the fog and entered deeper into
the mountains. Shirley started to tense up because the weather conditions
werenât very good. Just then, the tires of the vehicle pressed against something
hard, causing the car to tilt slightly.
She instinctively reached out to support Zacharias. However, the hand she
stretched out was firmly held by a large palm.
An electric current surged from his palm into the depths of Shirleyâs heart. Her
beautiful eyes widened and at this moment, the carâs body steadied. She
forcefully withdrew her hand from his grip. Fortunately, the bodyguards in front
didnât notice.
Finally, they arrived under a giant tree. Zacharias looked out the car window at
the tree and there was a slight moisture in the corners of his eyes.
The convoy stopped and he opened the door. Shirley also got out of the car and
looked under the tree. There was a grave. It seemed to have some age and due
to the lingering mist around the giant tree, it appeared lonely and desolate.
Zacharias stood in front of the grave, which was surrounded by mist. His tall
figure seemed cold and lonely.
Something stirred in Shirleyâs heart. She had an impulse to go and accompany
him. Just then, Roy handed her candles and a bunch of lilies. âImogen, go and
accompany Mr. Flintstone.â
Shirley held the basket, carried the bouquet, and walked toward Zacharias.
Zacharias was squatting down, picking up branches and dried leaves before the
grave. She put down the basket and placed the bouquet on the ground. Then,
she went to help him.
He looked up at her and her gaze was comforting. âLet me help you pick them
up.â
âWe can do it together,â Zacharias said gently. For more than ten minutes, they
picked up the fallen leaves and the ground looked clean after that. The rain from
last night had washed away the dust on the grave, making it look tidy.
Roy came over with a candle and lighter.
Shirley handed the flowers to Zacharias before asking him to place them in front
of the grave. He turned to her. âYou do it.â
She hesitated for a moment as it didnât seem appropriate. However, she couldnât
refuse at that moment when she saw that he didnât take the flowers. She bowed
three times in front of the grave before placing the flowers in front of the
tombstone..
Zacharias squatted down and started to light the candle. He used old-fashioned
matches, but the wind was too strong, blowing it out several times. Shirley
immediately came over and made a wind-blocking motion, allowing him to light
the fire.
The fire started and Zacharias seemed lost in thought while holding the candle.
He didnât pull it away even when his hand was almost burnt by the flames.
Shirley quickly reached out and grabbed his hand to check if he had been
burned.
Zacharias returned to his senses and looked up at her. She took the initiative to
hold his hand and
