True Love Waits novel Chapter 1000

'Rape him?' Trying to suppress the urge to puke, Sheffield replied in a soft voice, "Okay, bye!"

If he didn't hang up on Joshua now, he'd probably end up vomiting all over the place.

Sheffield turned around and pretended that he just saw Evelyn. He said in a surprised tone, "Miss Huo!"

Restraining from showing any emotion, Evelyn took two glasses of wine from Nadia and handed one to him. "Mr. Tang, since you have come all the way here in person, I should propose a toast to you."

Nadia left quietly, leaving the two of them alone.

Looking at the wine glass in her hand, Sheffield said, "I'm sorry, Miss Huo. I've not been in good health lately. I don't drink anymore."

"Is your health really bad or are you embarrassing me on purpose?" she asked.

Sheffield glanced at the employees who were peeking at them from a small distance. "Fine. I won't embarrass you in front of the staff." He extended his hand to her for the glass.

As Evelyn handed him the wine, she came closer to him than he had expected, and quickly grabbed the phone from his hand. She moved a few steps away from him while he was still confused.

Sheffield gaped.

The man was stunned, but then, he smiled helplessly. "People are looking and your behavior is very misleading."

Ignoring him, she tried to unlock the phone. It had a password lock.

"Wait!" Sheffield said in guilty haste.

She cast a cold glance at him.

"Miss Huo, I hope you are aware that what you are doing is an invasion of my privacy. If you go through my private stuff, I will be forced to call my lawyer and— Hey!" He watched as she unlocked his phone with ease.

Only if there weren't so many people watching them... He could have easily grabbed the phone back from her. But, he was helpless in their current situation.

He had changed his phone, but his password was still the same as before. After Evelyn entered the old password, the phone was unlocked.

She found his call records. The last person he had called was Joshua.

'So, it was Joshua on the phone with him. Not some woman!'

Giving the phone back to him, Evelyn sneered, "Mr. Tang, it's fine if you don't like me anymore. But did you only find a man to make me feel bad? I mean, if you really liked Joshua, that would be completely fine. But you were only trying to make me feel bad."

Sheffield was dumbfounded; he couldn't think of anything smart to say.

He didn't want to make her feel bad. He just wanted to piss her off and make her jealous.

Evelyn raised her glass and continued, "Mr. Tang, it's been an honor having you here with us. I'd like to propose a toast to you on behalf of ZL Group." Saying that, she drained her glass of wine.

Then, without another word, she turned around and left, leaving Sheffield behind.

Although they hadn't seen each other in two years, Evelyn knew Sheffield well. He had chosen to leave when Tracy had suggested that Evelyn propose a toast to him. At first, she had really thought that he was calling another woman. She had figured that he was pretending when she heard Joshua's roar from the other end of the line, two meters away.

After she left, Sheffield emptied the wine in his glass.

He put the glass aside and left the restaurant without even saying goodbye to Gillian.

In the car, holding her dazed head, Evelyn told Felix, "Ask Nadia to postpone my next appointment to tomorrow evening. I want to go back to the manor now." She couldn't even keep it together after a few glasses of wine.

"Okay, Miss Huo."

When she arrived at the manor, Debbie was playing with Gwyn.
