True Love Waits novel Chapter 1029

"Someone you don't know." Evelyn looked Sheffield straight in the eye while she answered his question. He had asked who she was meeting so late in the night. What seemed like a simple question was actually very hard to answer. But Sheffield had never met Gwyn before so technically, she was not lying.

"A man or a woman?" he demanded once more.

"Why does it matter to you? Who are you to ask?" 'Perhaps, the only way I could get out of here quicker is by making him mad, ' she thought.

With this thought in mind, her resolve not to tell him anything was set into stone. As expected, it completely infuriated Sheffield. "What am I to you then? Evelyn Huo, we had slept together two years ago. And just tonight, we slept together again. Are you seriously asking me who I am to ask?"

"I really need to leave right now. I can come and see you tomorrow if you'd like? Just, just not tonight." For the past two years, she had never been out late at night. The reason was actually because she needed to take care of her daughter. Every single night, she wouldn't be able to sleep in peace until she had checked on Gwyn.

Instead of answering her question, Sheffield pressed his lips on hers with a little bit of force.

After some time, Evelyn struggled out of his hold. A little short on breath, she mumbled, "If you dare touch me again, I swear I'll never forgive you! I'll hate you for the rest of my life!"

"Then do it! Hate me all you want!" Since Sheffield was becoming desperate, he thought that it would be better if she hated him. This way, she would still have thoughts about him, instead of completely forgetting him.

Evelyn realized that he had changed. He used to coax her and do whatever she said. He had never forced her to do anything before.

But now, he didn't seem to care what she wanted anymore. He didn't listen to her and was even making things difficult for her. This time, she was forced to suffer the scrutiny of his anger.

That night, their encounter ended in the gutter even though they had just engaged in the most intimate thing two persons could do.

It was already past midnight when Evelyn got back to the villa. Gwyn had already fallen asleep in Debbie's room. After standing in front of the said room for a while, she knocked at the door at last.

Carlos was still up. He opened the door and asked with a frown, "Why didn't you come back earlier? Do you know what time it is?"

Because of too much uneasiness, Evelyn wasn't able to answer. Instead, she asked, "Where is Gwyn?"

"She went to bed early. I don't want to wake her up, so let her sleep with us. You should get some rest as well."

"Okay, I just wanted to check on her." She walked past her father and entered the bedroom.

Debbie, who was sleeping beside her granddaughter, opened her sleepy eyes and murmured, "Evelyn, why did you come back so late? Were you so busy?"

Shaking her head, Evelyn responded softly, "No, something happened, so I wasn't able to come back so soon." She then turned to Gwyn and gently stroked her little face with the back of her hand. Then, she kissed the little girl on the forehead. Only then was she able to calm down as she breathed a sigh of relief.

When she was about to close the door on her way out, Carlos called out softly, "Evelyn."

Confused, she turned her head. A dark expression seemed to appear on her father's face while he looked at her from head to toe. He then stated seriously, "You should really be more careful."

Evelyn looked down at herself to check on her outfit. Squinting her eyes, she thought that there was nothing wrong with it. 'Why do I need to be more careful?' she wondered to herself.

'Is it my hair? Doesn't Dad like me wearing it unbound?' That must not be it. "What's wrong, Dad?" she finally asked.

Carlos walked over to her and tried to push her out of the room. "You are such a nuisance. Go to sleep," he conclusively said.

Feeling both confused and helpless, Evelyn stared at the door that her father had immediately closed.

She didn't know what Carlos was mad about until she went to her bathroom. When she looked in the mirror, the first thing that her eyes caught was the several red marks on her neck. Even with her hair down, two or three hickeys could easily be seen.

Carlos must have seen them.

Evelyn felt so embarrassed. 'This is all Sheffield's fault!' she exclaimed in her head.

The next morning, Joshua passed by Theo Group on his way to work. He brought breakfast to Sheffield's office and quickly placed it on the table. Then, he deliberately said, "I couldn't finish my breakfast, so I brought my leftovers to you. Do you want to eat it? If you don't, I'll take it to my office and feed it to the dog."
