Mr Carlos Huo, She's Your Wife novel Chapter 1069

Sheffield turned around to leave.

Peterson ignored his harsh tone and continued to explain with a sigh, "I just want you to formally come back to the Tang family. You are a strong man now. Even without my protection, you can take care of yourself. I'm relieved."

Ignoring him, Sheffield opened the car door.

"Sheffield," Peterson called desperately.

As far as Sheffield knew, Peterson was only acting sentimental to get his forgiveness. He stood there and impatiently scratched his hair. "You don't have to play the love card with me. I couldn't care less. If it weren't for Evelyn, I would've left Y City after proving Mom's innocence. I wouldn't have taken over Theo Group either. But because I did, I am being targeted by enemies from all over the place, and some of them are closer than you think, just waiting to stab me in the back. I don't want more trouble." And on top of the danger to his life, there was an endless storm of files to go through every day and he had no time to rest. It was frustrating.

The only reason why he hadn't quit his job as CEO was Evelyn.

If Sheffield was the unruly legendary beast, then Evelyn was the beast tamer, the only one capable of conquering him.

Peterson tried to persuade him. "Since you've already come this far for Evelyn, wouldn't it be good if you took back your place in the Tang family and included Evelyn's and your daughter's names in our family tree?"

"No, thank you. I'll build my own family. It'll be just the three of us in our residence booklet. No other Tangs! I need peace!" He didn't want a single other person intruding in their paradise, except maybe another cute kid.

And anyway, what was so good about being a part of the Tang family? Nothing! There was no good reason to insert their names in that family tree.

Peterson sighed heavily at his son's stubbornness and let him leave.

The old man stood there, pondering for a long time. And then, he had a better idea to persuade Sheffield.

At ZL Group

Evelyn was working on her computer when Nadia walked in. "Miss Huo, Mr. Tang from Theo Group is here to see you."

"Which Mr. Tang?" She was sure that it wasn't Sheffield. He wouldn't have waited for permission to get into her office. So, the visitor was either Peterson or Sterling.

'Most likely Peterson, ' Evelyn guessed.

"It's Peterson Tang," Nadia reported.

Evelyn didn't know why Sheffield's father wanted to see her. Nonetheless, she quickly saved the files on her computer. "Let Mr. Tang in, and get us some tea."

"Yes, Miss Huo," Nadia said.

A minute later, she led Peterson in. When he saw Evelyn sorting through some files, the old man apologized, "Evelyn, I'm sorry to have interrupted your work."

He was quite fond of Evelyn. She was a better woman than any of his other daughters-in-law. Moreover, she was Carlos' daughter. It would do Sheffield good to be with her.

Evelyn got up from her chair and invited him in a soft voice, "That's quite all right, Uncle Peterson. Please have a seat."

They sat on the sofa and chatted for a while about work. After that, Peterson skipped straight to the point. "Evelyn, I came here to ask you a favor."

'A favor?' "Please, tell me what you want, Uncle. I'll try my best to help."
