Never Too Far Novel

Chapter 2197 Secret Photographer 

Shirley’s eyes lit up with joy when she heard that. “Really? You came here for me?”

Cole nodded. As a tough guy, he came all the way here for love, which demonstrated his unwavering commitment to love.

“Cole, when I left that day, I wanted to tell you that I had been very happy during those three months. I also found the one I love, and that’s you,” she confessed. These were words she should have told him when she left last time. Finally, she had the courage to say them now.

Cole’s eyes held anticipation. He knew his life with Shirley in the future wouldn’t be easy, but he couldn’t reject her.

“Shirley, can I… truly make you happy?” He was concerned about not having a strong family background.

Meanwhile, Shirley saw through his worries. He’s probably afraid that my family won’t accept him. Cole is already outstanding. Even though his family background is less privileged, his flawless character has allowed him to join the special task force, making him one in a million.

“Don’t worry, Cole. My parents are very open-minded. They will support whatever and whoever I love.” Shirley didn’t think she was superior to Cole. Others only recognized her because she benefited from her parents’ fame. Yet what she truly sought was recognition earned through her efforts.

Her words gave Cole confidence. And so, he nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll do my best.”

At the same time, in a certain restaurant, Zacharias hadn’t eaten much of his meal and was fixated on his phone, deep in thought.

Freddie dared not approach as he sensed that Zacharias was in a bad mood.

Meanwhile, Roy had waited for an hour in the mall and finally saw Shirley and Cole coming out. This time, they held hands and they stood out in the crowd like a picture-perfect couple.

He secretly captured the moment when they held hands and exchanged glances. After that, Shirley and Cole entered a men’s clothing store. Since Cole insisted on paying for the meal, she was determined to buy him a coat.

Unable to resist her offer, he followed her into the store.

There, she held a coat and gestured in front of him, just like a considerate girlfriend.

Roy had taken several affectionate photos of them from outside. When they had finished shopping. Shirley noticed that it was already 2.00PM. Why does time seem to fly by during a date?

Coincidentally, Cole received an emergency mission, so he and Shirley walked out of the mall together.

He accompanied her to her car, and they naturally felt a bit reluctant to part ways.

“Let’s meet again when you have some free time,” she said to him.

“Sure, we’ll keep in touch.” His gaze toward her was filled with tenderness.

When their eyes locked, it was as if an unspoken electric current intertwined in the air and an ambiguous atmosphere surrounded them.

Shirley looked at Cole’s lips, and she suddenly remembered the kiss she shared with Zacharias. She had the urge to see what it would feel like to kiss Cole.

Taking the initiative, she leaned in closer to him, and it made Cole’s heart race. She’s bolder than I imagined.

At a distance not far away, Roy continued taking pictures. Since Shirley was leaning against the car and Cole’s head blocked the view, from Roy’s perspective, it appeared as if the two of them were kissing. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

In reality, Cole only gave Shirley a gentle peck on the forehead. He didn’t lack the courage; he simply didn’t want to overstep the boundaries. Shirley was too precious to him, and he didn’t want to offend her.

“Drive safely, Shirley,” he said, patting her. At that moment, his phone rang again, indicating that it was time for him to leave.

Shirley nodded, her face blushing. Although Cole was in a hurry, he took the time to open her car door for her. He stood there and watched as she drove away before briskly walking over to his car.

Meanwhile, in another car, Roy let out a sigh of relief. His mission was complete, but he hesitated about whether to send the photos he had taken, as sending them might upset Zacharias.
