Novel My baby’s daddy chapter 2491-“Does it hurt?” Shirley asked with concern.

“Yes,” the man replied. She immediately blew on his fingertips. “Be careful not to

burn your hand.” She thought to herself that he must be overwhelmed by grief

and sorrow for his mother..

“Do you need me to help you light it?” Shirley asked. Upon seeing four sets of

candles beside him, she was worried that the man would burn his fingers again.

Zacharias pursed his lips and smiled. “Sure. Let’s do it together.”

After saying that, he handed her the candle and then looked toward the direction

of the tombstone. In his heart, he was communicating with his mother. “Mom, I

brought your future daughter-in-law to visit you. Are you happy in the afterlife?”

The girl lighting the candle next to him was completely unaware of his emotions.

After lighting the candle, the smoke was scattered in the wind and quickly

disappeared as if blowing toward another world.

When Zacharias stood up, he bowed his head in silence for a few seconds

toward the grave, then turned back to the car with Shirley following him.

The car drove back toward the direction of the mountain villa. Shirley tidied up,

and Zacharias received several phone calls in succession. It was time for them

to return. At 11.30AM, they set off back to the city.

Due to his prominent identity, they couldn’t stop for a meal, even if restaurants

were on the way. When they arrived at the Flintstone Residence, it was already

almost 2.30PM.

Just as Shirley got out of the car, she saw someone coming out of the Flintstone

Residence. It turned out that their lunch had already been delivered.

Zacharias was once again busy with the phone calls and Shirley stood by the

dining table waiting for him. After finishing the call, he found her standing .there,

like a straight tree.

It was almost 3.00PM now. Zacharias couldn’t help but frown. He walked quickly

to the dining table and said, “Let’s eat.”

Shirley nodded and sat down, but Zacharias’ mind was clearly not on the meal.

His eyes were full of emotions.

She couldn’t eat much either, probably because she was too hungry. She took a

few bites casually, and at that moment, she received at message on her phone.

She picked it up and glanced at it, after which a hint of surprise flashed in her

eyes.

The message was from Cole. He asked if she was free to meet up this

weekend. Zacharias noticed her expression and even though he was thinking

about important work, he still took a moment to observe the girl in front of him.

Instead of immediately replying to Cole, Shirley put her phone back in her

pocket and calmly asked Zacharias, “Mr. Flintstone, tomorrow is the weekend.

Can I take two days off?”

Combining her surprised expression just now and the fact that she wanted to

take a day off, he deduced that it wasn’t because she wanted to meet a relative

but probably the person she liked. He also wanted to know who she secretly

admired, so this was a perfect opportunity.

“What do you need a vacation for?” Zacharias didn’t immediately agree.

“I… I want to go home and visit my grandmother.” Shirley also knew that if she

said she wanted to meet a friend, this man might not grant her leave. However,

paying respects to elders was something he might allow. He raised an eyebrow.

“You need two days off?”

“One day is fine too. How about Saturday? Can I take a day off on Saturday?”

Shirley carefully observed his expression and hoped he would agree. “All right.

I’ll give you half a day off. Visit your grandmother and come back immediately,”

Zacharias said stingily.

How could he allow her the chance to spend the night with that man? So, he

was only willing to give her half a day off.

Although she was not satisfied in her heart, having a half-day off was better than

nothing. Besides, she could try to ask for an extension later.

“Okay. I’ll be back to work after 3.00PM. Is that okay?” She wanted to treat Cole

to a meal!

“Sure,” the man replied. Shirley pursed her lips and was unable to hide her joy.

Zacharias, on the other hand, became more certain that she was going to meet

her crush.

She had no appetite for food anymore, and he was also not in the mood. He put

down his fork and said, “I’ll hire a housekeeper to take care of the housework in

the future. You don’t need to do it yourself.”
