Mr Carlos Huo, She's Your Wife novel Chapter 831

Sheffield covertly winked at Joshua. The latter understood what he meant. He warmly gestured for Dollie to sit next to him. "Miss Xiang, please have a seat."

At first, Dollie was unhappy to see that Sheffield had sat down next to Evelyn. But as soon as his handsome and enthusiastic friend invited her to sit with him, she didn't mind that anymore. "Thank you," she said politely. She took her seat beside Joshua.

Evelyn didn't say anything. With a bright smile, the manager of the restaurant handed the menu to them and asked, "May I take your orders?"

Sheffield was quick to act. He took the menu from the manager and placed it in front of Evelyn. "Here you are. What would you like to eat?" he asked in a flattering tone.

Dollie and Joshua were equally surprised.

Noticing the anger on Dollie's face, Sheffield realized that he had completely ignored the girl in his excitement of running into Evelyn. He waved his hand and motioned Dollie to come closer to him. Sheffield leaned over to her and whispered, "Don't be angry, Dollie. It's just an act to get on her good side. If she thinks that I like her, my plan will have a greater chance to succeed."

Dollie gave the woman a dirty look. Evelyn was calmly flipping through the menu. Her face softened a little. She asked doubtfully, "Really?"

"Yes," Sheffield replied instantly with a nod.

"Okay."

Sheffield sighed in relief after getting that stumbling block out of the way. Resting his chin on his hand, he said to Evelyn, "It's my treat today. Would you like some goose liver paste?" Evelyn immediately scrunched her nose in disgust. "No? Then, how about oyster cup and some roasted chicken? Maybe a little soup with onions, and a French-style braised—"

Without raising her head, Evelyn scoffed, "I don't like anything you suggested."

"Oh? Then, how about some cheese?" he teased.

Evelyn cast him a cold glance and handed him the menu. "How about you order for me? If you end up getting something I don't like today, you will have to disappear from my sight forever."

Joshua observed them with a stunned expression. Sheffield never lied to his friends. If Joshua didn't know that about him, he would have doubted if Evelyn really had taken the initiative to sleep with Sheffield. Her attitude towards Sheffield was like she had been raped by him.

With a cheeky grin, the doctor took the menu. "I really don't know what to order. I have never had French cuisine before." He opened the menu and randomly pointed at a dish. "Oh, it's all in English?" he asked, sounding defeated.

The menu was indeed in English; most of the customers were foreigners and the owner of the restaurant was French.

With a sigh, Evelyn grabbed the menu away from his hand and threw it to Joshua. "Do you know English?"

Of course, Joshua knew English. But since Sheffield pretended that he didn't understand English, Joshua decided to play along. So, he shook his head. "I can't read either."

Dollie asked in a reserved tone, "How about…um… Should I take a look?"

Evelyn ignored her. She looked at the menu and spoke to the manager in English.

Unable to understand what Evelyn had said, Dollie asked Sheffield in a low voice, "What did she order?"
