Ava smiled. “Of course.” After all, this was related to her granddaughter’s future.

While savoring a piping hot breakfast, Shirley contemplated that meeting her grandmother’s friend

would likely be a laid-back affair. After all, she just needed to enjoy herself.

Around 11.00AM, Shirley drove Ava out. She didn’t notice that a black SUV had been parked for two

hours on the nearby street. Inside the car, Tony, who had been playing mobile games, was more than

happy to wait.

“Oh, here they come.” When Tony saw her car, he immediately put down his phone and stepped on the

gas to catch up to them.

Following Ava’s instructions, Shirley drove toward a somewhat vintage street. It seemed to be a

preferred spot for affluent ladies to have afternoon tea. The area was also dotted with various

restaurants, globally recognized ones included.

Finally, Shirley parked in front of a high-end Mediterranean restaurant before she helped Ava out of the

car. Not long after they entered, a figure dressed in fusion attire also walked in. To avoid being

recognized by Shirley, Tony deliberately wore a mask and sunglasses.

The restaurant’s private rooms were not completely enclosed but separated by wooden screens, giving

a stylish and open feeling. From the outside, one could catch a glimpse of what was going on inside the

private rooms.

Shirley, accompanying Ava, entered a private room and saw an elegantly dressed old lady already

seated there.

“Long time no see, my old friend! You still look so young!” “Shirley, this is Old Madam Dawson.” “Hello,

Old Madam Dawson,” Shirley greeted the woman politely.

“Oh my, what a beauty! I’ve seen your photos from when you were young. I expected you’d grow up to

be quite stunning,” Lyra commented, thoroughly pleased, as she appraised Shirley from head to toe.

Shirley was happy to receive compliments. However, she couldn’t help noticing how Lyra seemed

particularly interested in her and was thoroughly inspecting her.

“What about your boy?” Ava asked.

Lyra smilingly replied, “He’s on his way!” Shirley was slightly surprised, wondering if more guests hadn’t

arrived yet.

“Come, let’s order some dishes!” The older women began discussing what to eat. Tony happened to

choose a solo spot where he could observe the situation in the private rooms. He wondered if

Zacharias had overthought the situation, perhaps assuming Shirley was meeting a guy. However, she

was simply having lunch with her grandmother. Since Tony was already there, he decided to have

lunch in the restaurant.

Just then, another person entered the restaurant. This man looked quite handsome, and even Tony

couldn’t help but steal glances at him. As he observed, he saw the man heading toward Shirley’s

private room.

Tony’s eyes widened, and his mental radar started beeping.

It seemed Zacharias had foresight! Did he guess that Shirley was here to meet a handsome guy? And

that guy looked wealthy and successful. Although not as influential as Zacharias, he belonged to an

elite group.

Surely Shirley isn’t planning to ditch Uncle Zacharias! Tony quickly took out his phone and zoomed in,

trying to capture the scene inside the private room.

Meanwhile, Shirley was also taken aback. She didn’t expect the other guest to be a young man.

“Let me introduce you. This is my grandson, Carlisle Dawson,” Lyra joyfully introduced.

Carlisle looked at Shirley, stunned. His grandmother had coerced him into this blind date, and despite

his initial refusal, it hadn’t worked. He didn’t expect the blind date to be such a beautiful woman who

radiated a healthy kind of beauty.

“Hello, I’m Carlisle Dawson.” “Hi! The name’s Shirley Lloyd.” Even though Shirley felt awkward, she

graciously introduced herself as well.

“My friend, it’s been many years! Come, let’s sit together and have a good chat,” Lyra suggested.

Ava strongly agreed to it. As the private room had two rows of seats, the two elderly ladies squeezed

together, leaving the two young people to sit together as well.
