Chapter 2204 Liking Everything About Them 

A flush crept up Shirley’s cheeks. Did he meet me when I was in that wild state? He must have vivid memories of my childhood antics, as he was around ten years old at the time, so he surely remembers how unruly I was.

“How did we meet?” Shirley asked, curious.

“We met in the White House garden. I was there with my father as a guest. I got lost in the garden, and that’s when I met you. You took my hand and led me back to the hall,” Zacharias said with a smile, his filled with nostalgia.

Hearing that they once held hands when she was a child, Shirley felt her face grow even warmer.

“Was that the only time we met?” Shirley inquired.

“How many times would you have liked us to meet?” Zacharias countered. eyes

“No, once is enough. I was quite mischievous and playful as a child, so I probably left a bad impression on you,” she quickly muttered.

At that, Zacharias smirked. “You were adorable as a child! Just a little chubby.”

Shirley, hearing the description of her childhood look from him, felt a bit indignant. “Who wasn’t chubby as a child? I bet you were chubby too!”

“I happen to like chubby kids,” Zacharias added.

Shirley decided not to argue about this. At least, him saying this would dispel any suspicions Ren might. have about her and Zacharias.

“So, when did you recognize me?” Shirley raised an eyebrow.

“I recognized you from the first moment I saw you,” Zacharias stated.

“I’ve changed so much since my childhood, and yet you recognized me instantly?” Shirley was skeptical.

Zacharias had a knack for recognizing people, and this woman was so outstanding that it was hard not to notice her.

“In my eyes, nothing has changed. The man raised an eyebrow, indicating that his memories of her as a child were quite vivid..

Just then, a nurse knocked on the door and entered, holding a tray of medication as she addressed Zacharias. “Mr. Flintstone, here’s your medicine. Please take it on time.”

Seeing the medicine, Zacharias instinctively furrowed his brows. He didn’t like taking medicine.

The nurse left, and Shirley got up to pour him a glass of water, saying, “Take your medicine!”

“I only have some superficial wounds. There’s no need for medication.” Zacharias tried to come up with an excuse to avoid taking it.

Shirley got serious as she stated, “You definitely need to take the medicine. Doctors don’t prescribe it without reason.”

Zacharias pursed his lips, wondering if she was here to take care of him or to monitor him.

Reluctantly, he took the medicine. Afterward, he felt even more drowsy, but he really didn’t want to sleep.

“Keep me company for a bit,” Zacharias said as he lay down.

Seeing his eyes grow a bit hazy, Shirley realized he was tired.

“I can see you’re tired. You should get some rest,” she suggested.

“Tell me how you met Cole,” he asked bluntly.

Shirley was caught off guard. This man had definitely looked into Cole’s background. In the end, she declined to answer. “I’d rather not say.”

“I want to hear it,” Zacharias insisted.

Seeing his interest, Shirley had no choice but to share. I met Cole at the training base. He was my team leader, and we underwent a three-month training together. During the training, I developed feelings for him, and likewise, he liked me. It’s as simple as that.”

Zacharias let out a sigh, murmuring, “He appeared three months earlier than I did.”

Shirley didn’t quite catch what he said. She furrowed her brows, asking, “What are you talking about?”

“What do you like about him?” Zacharias asked. He seemed completely alert when discussing this topic because he was genuinely interested.

Treating Zacharias as a friend, Shirley thought for a moment before saying, “You don’t need a reason to like someone. When you like someone, you just do. It’s about liking everything about them.”

Zacharias nodded in agreement, his gaze locked onto Shirley. “Exactly. I agree with you. Liking someone means liking everything about them.” Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Suddenly, Shirley met his eyes. She quickly looked away. Why is this man staring at me so intensely?
