True Love Waits novel Chapter 1014

"Then you can call me Sheffield Huo from now on. You know I'm a great guy. If I become a member of the Huo family, then I'll make you guys proud," Sheffield said confidently.

"Fuck off!" Carlos thundered. "Keep talking like that and I'll set Evelyn up on more blind dates."

With a serious look, Sheffield said, "Uncle Carlos, Evelyn is suffering from depression again. She's taking antidepressants. Are you sure you still want to butt in? Do you really love your daughter?"

"Depression? Evelyn's taking antidepressants? Bullshit! I think you're the one who needs meds! My daughter is a happy girl. What nonsense are you spouting? Am I too kind to you? You want me to buy out Theo Group and close it?" If ZL Group went up against Theo Group now, both Sheffield and his company would suffer a loss.

"Uncle, I didn't lie to you. She took fluvoxamine, a kind of drug for treating depression. I promise I'll be good to Evelyn. I'll listen to you as long as you agree to give Evelyn to me!"

Sheffield sounded so serious, and he had even mentioned the name of the medicine. Carlos' heart sank. "Did you see Evelyn take the pills yourself?" he asked worriedly.

Sheffield didn't see it with his own eyes. Joshua told him about it. "No. Joshua saw it, and ran off to tell me."

"Did he tell you he saw it with his own eyes?"

"Well, yes..." Carlos' line of questioning gave him a bad feeling.

There was no longer a tense war between them. Carlos calmed down and said, "If what you said is true, I'll let you start dating again. But Sheffield, if Evelyn isn't taking any antidepressants, and you're just messing with me, I will punish you!"

Before Sheffield could say anything else, the old man hung up the phone. The bad feeling grew stronger in his heart.

Just to make sure, he rapidly dialed Joshua's number. As soon as the phone was connected, he asked, "Joshua, did you lie to me about anything?"

It took a while for Joshua to respond to his question. "No, I didn't. Why would I do that?"

"What did the pills Evelyn swallowed look like?"

"What?" Joshua finally realized what was happening. "Oh, I forgot."

"Humph! You're just pretending. Evelyn already told me you lied," Sheffield said with a snort.

"She said that? Dude, that is not cool! Evelyn asked me to lie to you... Wait...you bastard! You tricked me!"

If Joshua had been right in front of him now, Sheffield would have decked him. "Asshole! I'm gonna beat the hell out of you when I see you again. You lie to me, and get my woman to do it too? With friends like you, who needs enemies?"

Joshua replied in a low voice, "Look, she figured it out. There was nothing I could do. Besides, I need to make Terilynn mine. And Evelyn can help me."

Sheffield was so angry he hung up the phone without another word.

Sitting in his office, he felt his rage grow. Evelyn totally played him. He hadn't imagined she would lie to him and make him pour his heart out.

Fine! He admitted that it was all his fault. He was too trusting, and he lost his mind when it came to Evelyn.

However, Joshua was in panic mode. After Sheffield tricked him into telling him everything, the young man knew he needed to do something. He picked up the phone and called Evelyn. "Hey Evelyn. Bad news..."

"What's wrong?"

"Sheffield found out that we messed with his head."

"What... This quick?" Evelyn pinched the spot between her eyebrows gloomily.

"Yeah, he figured it out..." Joshua was also surprised. He didn't have the chance to ask Sheffield how he came to that conclusion.

"I see. Thanks."

After hanging up the phone, Evelyn sent a text message to Sheffield. "Don't blame Joshua. He didn't do anything wrong."

This time Sheffield texted back quickly. "Don't cover for him. How could you two join hands to cheat me? I don't want to see you or Joshua ever again! Got it? We're through!"

When Evelyn saw the message, she texted him back. "Is there any way you could forgive me?"
