Mr Carlos Huo, She's Your Wife novel Chapter 834

Dollie felt ignored by everyone at the table. Losing her appetite and patience, she whispered to Sheffield, "I'm full. I have classes to attend in the afternoon. Shall we leave?"

Sheffield didn't refuse. He took a tissue and wiped his mouth. Feigning a casual look, he said to the other three, "Enjoy your meal. I have to drop Dollie back at school."

"Bye bye, handsome," Terilynn sang playfully with a smile.

Sheffield returned the smile, and then looked at Evelyn. "I got to go. Bye."

Evelyn froze, but she remained silent.

Joshua stood up and told Evelyn, "I'll see them off. Will be back soon."

"Okay," Terilynn replied instead, waving her hand at him.

The three of them left the table together. On their way to Sheffield's car, the men slowed down their pace and walked further away from Dollie. Joshua whispered, "Buddy, I really had no idea who she was or that she was your woman."

"I know." Sheffield could tell.

Joshua had done nothing wrong. If it weren't him, there would have been another man on a blind date with Evelyn.

"Cheer up, man. Don't be so crestfallen. And if you want to win her heart, you should keep your distance from Dollie. If I were Evelyn, I wouldn't choose to date you either if you were with another woman," Joshua said in all earnestness.

"I know what I'm doing," Sheffield nodded.

"All right, just saying. Anyway, you gotta work harder than ever to buy the best gemstone in the world." 'A girl like Evelyn indeed deserves the best, ' Joshua thought, remembering their conversation from the other day.

With a sneer on his face, Sheffield muttered, "Let's hope she'll accept it."

Joshua patted him on the shoulder. "She likes you."

"How do you know that?"

Joshua flashed the gloomy doctor a mysterious smile. "Trust me. Now off you go. I need to get back to Evelyn. I'll take care of her for you. Don't worry."

"Fine. But remember, she's mine. Know your boundaries," Sheffield reminded his friend in a serious tone.

"Oh, I don't know. I might snatch her away from you," Joshua teased.

Sheffield sluggishly echoed his joke. "Then, we will be sworn enemies from that point."

Joshua waved at him as he stood at the gate of the restaurant. "Best friends becoming sworn enemies because of a beautiful woman. It's not too bad. I'm in," he said with a wink.

"Fuck you!" Sheffield cursed and left without looking back.

When Joshua returned to their table, Evelyn was staring blankly at the food in front of her.

He figured what was on her mind. "Ladies, are you enjoying the food?" he asked.

Terilynn nodded, "It's good, but we're tired of eating here all the time. I suggest you treat Evelyn to some Chinese food next time. You never get tired of some good Chinese cuisine."

The corner of his mouth twitched. This was the best Western restaurant in Y City. The average bill came up to thousands or even ten thousand dollars. Joshua couldn't believe his ears. The younger daughter of the Huo family casually said that they were already tired of eating the food at this ridiculously expensive place. 'She really is... frank...and cute, ' Joshua thought.

After lunch, Joshua offered to drive them home. But Evelyn declined. "Please don't bother, Mr. Fan. I drove here myself. May I have a private word with you?" she asked.

Terilynn walked to the other side of the booth to answer a phone call. Joshua nodded, "Sure."

They moved further away from Terilynn. Then, Evelyn said, "I'm guessing that you are constantly being urged by your family to get married, right? I have an idea. We could be together for the time being. That way, our parents will stop nagging us."

Joshua chuckled. "Why only for the time being? Why can't we have a long-term relationship?"

After a short pause, Evelyn replied bluntly, "I don't like you, Mr. Fan. If you don't agree to my suggestion, then just forget that I said it."

At that moment, Joshua became truly aware of the pain Sheffield had felt when he was turned down by this woman.

"I see. All right, I agree to your deal," he said with a curt nod.
