StarNovelShirley raised her head to reply, “It’s okay. | can wait for you.” Zacharias brought her to the couch and took out a set of jewelry from the bag. “These are for you.” “Why did you buy these? Stop spending so much money on me.” Though Shirley said that, she still smiled and happily opened the box, revealing a three-piece set of beautifully designed jewelry that shimmered under the light.
“Do you like it?” Zacharias asked. He had personally gone out to choose these. Nodding, Shirley replied, “I do, but stop givingpresents like these.” However, Zacharias wouldn't listen. Instead, he would give her these gifts every year.
“It’s getting late. Let's head upstairs.” Shirley held his hand. It was nearing dawn, and the man had plenty of things to do the next day, so she had to get him to rest earlier.
Meanwhile, Zacharias noticed how eager she was and misunderstood her intentions. He let her lead him upstairs, and once they got to their bedroom, he immediately pushed her against the door. “It seems like you missa lot.” When Shirley raised her head and noticed the glint in his eyes, she couldn't help but chuckle. “What are you thinking about? | just want you to rest earlier, not-" The man cut off the rest of her words. Even though she denied it, her body was honest. Damn it! | admit that | want it, too.

During the next half a month, Shirley had only one task-preparing herself to beca beautiful bride. She had high-end personalized wedding gowns and evening dresses, jewelry she could pick from, and best wishes from all parties.
Besides that, Angela even hired professionals to educate her daughter so that she would beca very elegant lady at the wedding. That was because Shirley grew up in a graceless environment, and Angela didn’t expect her daughter to marry the vice president. Therefore, Shirley must start attending etiquette lessons.
During the two-hour course, Shirley spaced out for nearly an hour because the etiquette teacher's tone was like a lullaby, almost lulling her to sleep several times.
In addition, Zacharias didn’t let her sleep well last night. That man seemed to have abnormally high stamina, which even she admired. Not only could he focus on dealing with work matters and wedding preparations in the morning, but he could also work out until late at night. Therefore, Shirley just happened to have the urge to doze off during her afternoon etiquette class.
In the end, after she managed to force herself to finish her etiquette class, she had to attend an art appreciation course that her mother arranged for her as well. It felt like her mother saw her as a student about to take a college entrance exam and arranged whatever she saw fit into every second of her daughter's free time.
While inside the car, Shirley couldn't stop herself from complaining to her man, but the man was also helpless in this situation. After all, that was his mother-in-law’s arrangement, and it was inappropriate for him to interfere.
Therefore, he could only comfort Shirley, telling her to escape every chance she got and leave his mother-in-law to him.
Hearing that, Shirley cracked up. It seemed like the man had played truant quite often back in the day.
Halfway through her art class, Shirley heard her phone ring. When she glanced at it, she almost screamed because her savior had arrived.

“Miss, excuse me, but | would like to take a leave of absence. | have something very urgent to attend to,” Shirley requested politely.
The teacher deduced from Shirley’s expression that this matter might be very urgent, so she nodded. “Go ahead, Miss Lloyd.” Once Shirley was outside, she quickly answered the call, “Hey, Willow. Have you arrived? On my way.” “I'll wait for you.” Willow's gentle voice cfrom the phone.
The two had agreed to have afternoon tea together. After all, Willow had returned to the country ahead of schedule just to meet up with Shirley before the latter's wedding and have a girl's talk.
At the cafe, Willow wore sweet, elegant attire. Her naturally elegant temperament was certainly not something that could be brought by clothing and makeup but something she was born with.
When Shirley sat down and saw the aromatic coffee on the table, she picked it up and took a sip. “I've been so exhausted for the last few days. My mom is afraid I'll embarrass her at my wedding, so she has arranged various courses for me. | can’t help but wonder, am | that graceless?”
