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. They immediately turned around and even drew their weapons
when they heard the noise. However, when they 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 saw Shirley 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. She took 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 just because he was more skilled?
“Mr. Flintstone, I hope such a situation won't happen again. You need to
understand that I am your bodyguard.” 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. She couldn'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 while I'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 own life. If I die in front of you one day, I-"
The words that followed were silenced by a palm, and her eyes widened once
again. This man had unexpectedly 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 let me 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 a mountain villa built on the cliffside. From the window, one
could see lush green forests and distant rolling mountains.
The sound of rain hitting the wooden structure outside was surprisingly
melodious. It was not annoying at 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,
someone had 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 warmth spread and she felt warm all over.
