Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

“She got seven stitches. I've advised her to rest at the hospital,” Shirley replied.
Zacharias nodded. “I see. You should check in on her.”
“I will,” Shirley assured, taking another sip of the hot tea. It was already around
10.00PM at this point. Just then, the sound of a car could be heard outside.
Shirley immediately got up and went to the door, where she saw Tony hurrying
over against the cold wind.
Shirley opened the door for him, and he said, while rubbing his hands together,
“Goodness, it's freezing! Uncle Zacharias, are you okay? I came back specifically
to check on you.”
Zacharias wasn't the least bit glad to see this third wheel and said, “I'm fine. You
can go home now.”
However, having just got here, there was no way Tony would leave immediately.
He grinned and said, “I'm not going anywhere! It's freezing outside. Your place is
the best. There's food and drinks, and it's cozy!”
Tony didn't like being alone either. Despite having a spacious flat, it felt deserted,
with only him living there. He much preferred his uncle's place.
“Goddess, you look even more beautiful today.” Tony complimented Shirley, who
corrected him, “Call me Shirley.”
“No, I'll call you Goddess, or if you prefer Aunt Shirley, I can call you that too,”
Tony joked. Shirley's face turned red, and she glared at Tony. “Don't you dare.”
Zacharias couldn't help but hide a smile and watched Shirley playfully interact
with his nephew.
“Why can’t 1? You'll be my uncle’s sooner or later,” Tony said confidently.
“Excuse you,” Shirley scolded. Tony immediately rushed to Zacharias, clutching
his head and saying, “Uncle Zacharias, save me!”
“Fight your own battles.” Zacharias certainly wouldn't save him. Tony sat on the
couch with a smile and poured himself a cup of hot tea while saying, “I've sent
Jesslyn home. You won't believe this, Uncle. She cried the entire way back.”
“Why was she crying?” Zacharias asked with squinted eyes.
“Why else? She doesn’t want to part with you, of course! She likes you so much,
Tony replied. At that, Zacharias cleared his throat, “I only ever see her as a
sister.”
“I know. You like my goddess. I know that!" Tony grinned. “Jesslyn knows she’s
no match for my goddess, too, so she gave up on pursuing you.”
On the side, Shirley clenched her fist as she warned, “Tony, stop making things
up.”
“I'm not making things up,” Tony argued with a quirked brow. “It's a public fact
that my uncle likes you!”
Shirley felt a playful gaze directed her way, and she glared at Tony. “Well, I don’t
like your uncle.”
“Why not? Is it because you think he’s too old?” Tony asked directly, and
Zacharias turned grim at once. This kid just has to bring this up. Is age even a
matter?
Lo and behold, Shirly replied, “Yes, I don't like guys much older than me.”

Finally, Tony went upstairs. With his departure, the atmosphere in the living room
became somewhat heavy, and Shirley returned to standing by the door.
She was still thinking about their conversation when suddenly, a male voice
floated over. “Am I a silver fox to you?"
