My Baby's Daddy

Chapter 2621

Zacharias took Shirley’s hand. “Let’s go. Let’s enjoy ourselves over the next three days.”

Shirley followed him into the resort. A group of servants were welcoming them, giving them presents and flowers. Shirley took the flowers. A steward said, “Sir, madam, please take a break on the second floor. We shall serve afternoon tea shortly.”

Shirley was stunned. Madam? Do these people not know the relationship we share? Do they think I’m his wife?

Zacharias held his laughter in. He put an arm around Shirley’s shoulder and said, “Let’s head to the second floor then, madam.”

Shirley pursed her lips, holding her laughter in as Zacharias took her to the second floor. Right after they came to the landing, she gave Zacharias a questioning look.

Zacharias chuckled. “Don’t you like how they address you?”

Shirley loved it, but she still wasn’t his wife, so she felt nervous being addressed that way. “I do. Shirley smiled. She then convinced herself, “It’s not like anyone else is going to hear that here. I’ll be your wife, then.”

Zacharias smiled. “This could be a trial run for our marriage, then.”

Shirley thought it was sweet. We’ll see how things go. I can tell my folks we’re dating once we get back home. We don’t have to be worried about how the public will see us.

Shirley and Zacharias took their seats in the lounge on the second floor. Shirley was tired and hungry from the trip here, for it had taken them nearly three hours.

A moment later, the steward led a group of servants over to them. The servants were holding exquisite platters, and the food was exquisite. This was where Flor’s royalty’s guests were served, so everything felt regal.

Once the servants had taken their leave, Shirley picked up a nice piece of toast and took a bite. Her eyes lit up. “Oh, this is nice.”

Zacharias hadn’t taken his food, but when Shirley said the toast was nice, he took her wrist and fed himself with her toast. He bit on the spot she’d taken a bite out of. “It’s nice,” he praised.

Shirley smiled at him. “You just love taking my food.”

“Yeah. It tastes better after you have a bite.” Zacharias cocked an eyebrow. she felt sweeter than the dessert before her.

After teatime, Shirley wanted to stroll around the rose garden. The place was gorgeous; even a little time in the garden could cheer her up. Zacharias went with her. Shirley walked ahead of him, staring around. Her hair was untied, and it billowed in the wind. Even her profile stunned Zacharias.

The roses were gorgeous, but to Zacharias, Shirley was more captivating still. He only had eyes for her and nothing else.

Shirley felt his gaze focused on her, and her heart started to race. She turned around, looking at him. He was in a suit, his shoulders were broad, his hair was slick, and his features were sculpted and regal. Shirley looked around. Alright, there’s no one here. She grinned, approaching Zacharias before holding his shoulder. Zacharias put an arm around her waist and pulled her into his embrace. Then, Shirley kissed him.

A surge of warmth, burning for Zacharias, coursed through Shirley’s veins. Shyly, she leaned against Zacharias’ chest and listened to the beat of his heart. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“It’s cold out here. Let’s go inside.” Zacharias took her back into the residence.

Shirley followed him, but a servant was leading them. This place was huge, and the servant took them to the master bedroom. When Shirley saw her luggage inside, she blinked and looked at Zacharias. Quietly, she asked, “They can’t be having us share a room, can they?”
