Night of Destiny Novel by Vanessa K

Josef's eyes instantly lit up. “Oh! Really?”
“It's true. Uncle Zacharias is in the middle of pursuing her. No need to worry
about his love life,” Tony hinted.
Shirley, face flushed, lowered her head and focused on her food. She wished
Tony would stop talking about that. Oh, how mortifying. Moreover, she could
sense Zacharias’ eyes on her.
“Wonderful. Glad to know that Zach has it at the back of his mind.” Josef nodded.
He could tell from Zacharias’ gaze that he liked Shirley. That said, he wouldn't
mention it explicitly.
However, he was worried that Shirley might not be interested in Zacharias. As
excellent as his son was, love couldn't be forced. What if Zach's not her type?
Besides, Miss Lloyd can marry any man she wants!
As Zacharias had a meeting in the afternoon, he returned to Flintstone
Residence after lunch. Shirley, on the other hand, asked Tony to send her to her
grandmother’s house.
Zacharias wouldn't take her along on trips now anyway, so she had plenty of free
time. After dropping Shirley off at her grandmother's, Tony went off for some fun
but was also asked by Shirley to pick her up later.
He was more than happy to be of her service, for he had already recognized her
as his future aunt-in-law, though she was only three years older than him.
At her grandmothers’, Shirley was a cherished child. Ava not only prepared
delicious food for her but also bought her gifts and even clothes.
“Look at you, dressed like a tomboy all the time. How will any boy like you?” Ava
complained.
“If nobody likes me, I won't get married then. I'll stay with my parents and you,
turning into an old spinster.” Shirley teased her grandmother.
Ava immediately opposed this idea. “You can't think like that. There are so many
outstanding young men now. Find one to marry. You'll have someone to rely on in
the future, too.”
At that, Ava thought of a friend with an excellent grandson, and she suddenly had
an idea. “Shir, are you free this weekend?” Shirley nodded and said, “I'll have all
the time in the world if you need me.” Now that she was familiar with Zacharias,
asking for leave was very convenient.
“Okay, reserve this weekend for me. I want you to accompany me for a meal,”
Ava said, temporarily avoiding the topic of matchmaking. She was afraid Shirley
wouldn't agree.
She would already be on the path to success once the two youngsters met.
Thus, she decided to deceive her granddaughter into going if that was what it
took.
“Sure, I'll come and accompany you this weekend.” Shirley nodded. Ava smiled
gratifyingly. “I thought your mother was already old when she married. You
should already start seriously looking now. I worry you'll get too old for the
marriage market if you get too picky.”
“Grandma, I'm not at the age to be pressured into marriage yet, am 1?” Shirley
argued, finding her grandmother's point of view somewhat ridiculous.
“Time passes in the blink of an eye. You should hurry.” Ava had come to an age
where she didn't have much to do anymore. Now, to her, seeing her
granddaughter marry into a good family was her greatest wish.
Seeing how enthusiastic her grandmother was to discuss this topic, Shirley
decided to just entertain her. Either way, she had her own ideas about marriage.
“Alright, I'll do as you say and think seriously about it.” She nodded.
