A force pressed her tightly against his chest and his warm windbreaker covered her head.
At this moment, about 30 feet away, Roy and three subordinates heard the commotion. Theyimmediately turned around and even drew their weapons when they heard the noise. However, whenthey only saw bats flying around, they quickly put their weapons away.
As a few subordinates prepared to investigate, Roy reached out and stopped them when he sawShirley. pressed in Zacharias’ arms. At this moment, they would better not disturb Zacharias.
The subordinates quickly understood and followed Roy away.
Shirley pushed Zacharias away. Her pretty face was a bit red and her breath was slightly uneven. Shetook two steps back while staring at the man with a hint of annoyance. Did he make a mistake?
He was the protected one and she was his bodyguard. Did he not consider her a bodyguard justbecause he was more skilled?
“Mr. Flintstone, I hope such a situation won’t happen again. You need to understand that I am yourbodyguard.” She calmed down and then spoke with a hint of warning in her tone.
Zacharias’ reaction had been instinctive and even he was surprised for a few seconds. However, he -understood his own feelings once he realized it.
Unknowingly, this girl’s life was now more important to him than his own.
After Shirley spoke, she noticed that the man was just looking at her without saying anything. Shecouldn’t help but feel angry. “Don’t you know that your life is more important than mine?”
He responded with a soft scoff. “Who said your life isn’t important? If something happens to you whileI’m with you, your dad will kill me.” After speaking, the man walked into the hall.
Shirley was rendered speechless and found herself momentarily unable to argue with him.
But as she followed him, she spoke again. “You can rest assured. I can take responsibility for my ownlife. If I die in front of you one day, I-novelbin
The words that followed were silenced by a palm, and her eyes widened once again. This man hadunexpectedly covered her mouth with his hand.
Her soft red lips pressed against the palm of his hand and his gaze gradually darkened. He warned her.“Don’t mention the word ‘death’ in front of me. It’s unlucky.”
Shirley obediently nodded, then pointed to the big hand covering her mouth and mumbled, “Can you letme go?”
As Zacharias released her, his big thumb rubbed against her lips.
She noticed it but couldn’t say anything. She immediately looked around and realized that this was amountain villa built on the cliffside. From the window, one could see lush green forests and distantrolling mountains.
The sound of rain hitting the wooden structure outside was surprisingly melodious. It was not annoyingat was all but rather soothing.
“Whose house is this?” Shirley asked.
“Mine,” the man answered.
Shirley was speechless; she had asked a needless question.
Although this place was surrounded by mountains and forests, it was surprisingly dry. Clearly, someonehad come here early to clean it up. It looked spotless, and there was a fireplace with two bundles of
firewood beside it. Sitting by the fire, sipping coffee, listening to music, and holding a book in this cold.winter would be the happiest things to do.
“Can you start a fire?” Zacharias asked.
Shirley nodded. “Yes. Are you cold? I’ll light it for you.”
The man agreed to it and she squatted by the fireplace before starting to light the fire. The warmthspread and she felt warm all over.
She had always wanted a cabin like this in the mountains, a place to find peace away from the worldand undisturbed by anyone.
Now, her dream had come true here with Zacharias.
As the fire burned, the whole villa seemed to exude warmth. Next to the fireplace was a couch.Zacharias brought things in from outside.
Shirley watched as he skillfully retrieved items from the cabinets. He was extremely diligent. It was as ifeverything in the room had become incredibly useful in his hands.
