Chapter 2541
Night of Destiny
Novel My babyâs daddy chapter 2541 -Zacharias sat at the dining table, watching his nephew hold
Shirleyâs hand.
Immediately, he cleared his throat and said, âTony, come over and have your breakfast.â At his words,
Tony quickly released Shirleyâs hand and refrained from making any advances. After all, she was going
to be his uncleâs future wife.
âHurry and come over, Tony. Itâs a bodyguardâs duty to stand guard.â Jesslyn felt discontent too. Why is
Tony being so friendly with a bodyguard?
Tony obediently joined them for breakfast, and Jesslyn continued to plead with Zacharias, âPlease,
Zacharias. Just let me stay here for three days. I promise to behave.â âNo.â Zacharias was holding his
coffee, but his gaze remained fixed on the straight figure at the door.
âHow about just one day, then? Let me stay here for the night.â âLeave by 3.00 PM at the latest,â he
replied calmly.
Frustrated, she bit her lip. Suddenly, she realized that even though Zacharias was talking to her, his gaze
was fixated in one direction. She followed his gaze and saw Shirleyâs slender figure.
At once, a tinge of jealousy flared in her eyes. Iâve underestimated the bodyguardâs place in Zachariasâ
heart.
After breakfast, Zacharias instructed the servant clearing the table, âPrepare another. breakfast.â âSure,
Mr. Flintstone,â the servant acknowledged, well aware of who it was for.
âAccompany Jesslyn and escort her home in the afternoon, Zacharias told Tony.
After that, he dialed a number to summon his convoy, as he needed to spend the day at the office.
Seeing that he was about to leave, Shirley stepped forward and picked up his overcoat for him. Instead
of accepting it, he instructed her, âHelp me put it on.â She readily assisted him in putting on the overcoat.
He then adjusted his tie, remarking. âMy tie isnât properly done. Help me fix it.â Shirley, experienced in
helping her father with his tie, skillfully loosened and re tied it. Meanwhile, Jesslyn couldnât hear their
conversation from the dining table.
When she saw Shirley helping Zacharias get dressed and fix his tie, she grew furious as she perceived
their interactions as flirtatious.
Watching this scene from the side, Tony acted amused, for he knew of Jesslynâs interest in his uncle.
As Zachariasâ car arrived, Shirley opened the door for him. After he got in and before driving away, he
cast a final glance in her direction.
She received his gaze with composure, her face displaying tranquility. Inside, however, her heart was far
from calm. She wasnât naive; she knew that the look of someone in love couldnât be hidden, especially
when she was the one who was being loved.
Zacharias harbored affection for her, but she couldnât reciprocate his feelings because she had recently
ended a brief romantic relationship with Cole. Even though it had only extended as far as holding hands,
she couldnât simply transfer her emotions to another man so quickly.
For now, she was wholeheartedly dedicated to making her three-month internship a success. As for
Zachariasâ attraction to her, she would offer no response.
The moment Shirley returned to the living room, a shrill female voice suddenly sounded. âHow dare you
openly seduce the vice president? Youâve got some nerve.â Shirley raised her head and frowned as she
watched Jesslyn rush toward her.
âMiss Kurt, please donât make baseless accusations.â âDid I say something wrong? I saw you seducing
him with my own eyes. If you dare do it again, Iâll expose this matter, and you will lose your job as a
bodyguard,â Jesslyn huffed.
At this moment, Tony, who was present throughout, stared at them with widened eyes. He knew Shirleyâs
place in Zachariasâ heart well, so he tried to intervene.
âDrop it, Jesslyn. She was just doing her job.â âDonât try to persuade me, Tony. You live here; donât you
know what sheâs up to?
A mere bodyguard like you dares to seduce Zacharias?â Jesslyn mocked.
Tony glanced at Shirley, then turned his gaze back to Jesslyn, letting out a sigh.
âJesslyn, you donât know the whole story, so donât blame her.â Itâs Uncle Zacharias who has developed
feelings for her. What does it have to do with my goddess? She hasnât done anything.
