Mr Carlos Huo, She's Your Wife novel Chapter 1086

"Yes," Sheffield admitted honestly. His uncomfortable fidgeting was an implication that he wasn't too keen on talking about Gillian, and he tried to sidestep the topic.

However, Evelyn wasn't going to let him slip away so easily. She raised an eyebrow, feigning curiosity and said, "Please tell me more about your romantic stories from when you were in school!"

"Romantic stories? I wasn't that popular to be honest. In fact, I don't have any romantic stories from school. Admittedly, my relationship with her may have been close, but I don't think I was ever in love with her. But if I had known that I would meet someone like you in the future, I wouldn't have gotten close to any of those women in the first place." In hindsight, their love story would have gone a lot smoother, but everything in life that was ever worth having, was worth every bit of the hardship.

Evelyn curled her lips. "Well, I have good news for you. You now have a thousand chances to make it up to me."

"Then, are you happy now?"

"Of course I am!" Although she knew that he was just coaxing her, Evelyn was still very happy, deep down.

"That's good!"

Hand in hand, they took a walk around the campus, appreciating every second of this wonderful moment they were sharing together. Evelyn listened to him attentively as he told her all about his past life. When Sheffield mentioned his classmates, he would pretend to be annoyed and tell her how all the girls in his school tried to woo him back then.

Sheffield also took her to see the stadium, where he ran with her on his back on the basketball court.

Time flew wondrously when they were together, never having to deal with work or the other trifles of life. Their journey together as a couple was one filled with joy and love.

Right after they got back to Y City, the two of them went to the Temple of Dharma first instead of heading back home.

Facing the statue of Buddha, Sheffield asked the woman beside him, "Do you remember the wish you made two and a half years ago?"

Looking at the Buddha statue, Evelyn said softly, "Yes, I do."

"Has your wish come true? Anyway, my wish has come true!" he said.

She gently hooked onto his finger with her pinky and smiled. "My wish has come true, too."

Sheffield smiled happily. "So we are here to redeem our wishes." When Sheffield had made that wish a few years ago, he wished for life where he and Evelyn would be together until the end. The reason why he had come here was to redeem his wish as well as reminisce about the happy times he had spent with Evelyn.

"Yes!" Evelyn was beaming with joy.

Sheffield had gone shooting his mouth off in front of the Buddha statue that if his wish would be realized, he would renovate this temple and make a generous donation for its welfare. Now that his wish had come true, it was time to keep his promise.

Therefore, after they had redeemed their wishes, Sheffield went to the head of the temple and donated a considerable sum of money to renovate this temple. Before leaving, he asked them to offer fresh fruits and flowers to the Buddha every day with the remaining money.

The maple forest where Sheffield had taken photos of Evelyn more than two years ago was still lush, but the leaves were now green.

They took a stroll down the woodland path, hand in hand, as sunlight streamed white and liquid gold at the same time. Tiny chunks of wood fell to the leaf litter below, the sound dissipating into birds chirping playfully on a tree branch. In this nature's hug of ever open arms of brown, cozy beneath the canopy of greens, their hearts were filled with deep happiness and satisfaction.

By the time they arrived at the Huo family's manor, it was already afternoon. Gwyn was in the living room sipping iced juice from a bottle. Debbie only allowed her to take a few sips, because she didn't want the little girl to have a stomachache. She held the bottle of juice high up and patiently reasoned with her.

"Gwyn! Daddy is back!" Sheffield called out. It had been almost a month since the last time he saw his cute daughter. His eyes reddened and he barely managed to keep his tears at bay.

The sight of them made Debbie heave a sigh of relief. She told the girl excitedly, "Wow, Gwyn, your mommy and daddy are back!"

Sure enough, as soon as she saw her parents, Gwyn threw away the strawberry in her hand and seemingly forgot the bottle of juice in her grandma's hand. Without hesitation, Gwyn threw her hands in the air and ran towards them. "Daddy, Mommy!"
