True Love Waits novel Chapter 1047

"Why don't we skip breakfast? I can think of better things to do than have breakfast!" Sheffield suggested, grabbing Evelyn and lifting her up.

She let out a cry of surprise and lowered her head to regard the man holding her. "No, breakfast is ready. I was wrong. Put me down!"

"Oh? Wrong about what?" he asked with a smirk.

"Um... I... I don't know." She gave up.

He felt a headache coming on. "Listen up. I'll tell you!"

She nodded.

"I don't give a damn what happened to Gillian. I don't care where she goes. She can live on the streets for all I care!" When that woman had decided to mess with Evelyn like that, she flushed the last trace of her friendship with Sheffield down the drain.

"You brought it up!" She felt wronged.

"Yes, I did. It was a simple question. That bitch Lea complained about me to Peterson. He texted and asked me about it. That's why I said anything at all. Get it?"

"Yeah. Can you put me down now?" She hadn't washed her face yet.

Sheffield lowered her gently so she could get her footing. "You're off the hook for now. But if you make me unhappy next time, I'll..."

His voice disappeared in the woman's feigned serious look.

"Sheffield," she said in an expectant tone.

'Uh-oh, this can't be good.' He smiled and kissed her cheek. "Yes, honey?"

"What will you do?"

"I'll... I'll apologize to you honestly!" This was absolutely not what he was going to say.

"I ticked you off. Why apologize to me?"

"If I'm not happy, that just means I'm being petty. I shouldn't fight with you. It would be all my fault if things soured."

Evelyn kept silent. She didn't know what to say about his honeyed tongue.

After breakfast, they agreed to go out and have some fun the next afternoon. And take Gwyn with them. Then they went their separate ways.

At Theo Group

When Joshua arrived at Sheffield's office, Sheffield was on the phone. "You heard me, I want 9, 999 blue roses and red roses delivered by air in two days. The sooner, the better. It's urgent."

When he heard Sheffield placing such a huge order, Joshua muttered, "Holy shit!" under his breath. If Sheffield hadn't been on the phone, Joshua would have been louder.

As soon as he hung up, Joshua leaned forward and whispered in his ear, "Mr. Tang, please let me live off you. I can do a lot for you. I can keep you warm at night, I have a huge appetite, obviously I can eat, and I know how to spend money. It'll be like old times. What do you say?"

"Back off!" Sheffield bellowed brusquely.

Joshua sat back in his chair and clicked his tongue.

"Well, you definitely know how to fill a set of clothing. No matter how you're dressed, you look like a professional. In scrubs, you looked like an evil doctor. Now you look like an evil CEO."

All in all, his key point was that Sheffield was a terrible person.

Sheffield snorted, "Humph! I'm evil? Said the kettle to the pot. Maybe I'm evil, but you're no saint!"

"Fuck off! You are evil, and you love it. So about those flowers—is this some kind of grand gesture?"

"Yeah. Evelyn and I have been through a lot. And then being apart for two years... Now that I have everything, it's time to start a family." His life would be perfect if he could have a kid as cute as Gwyn.

Staring at the ceiling, Joshua leaned back in his chair and sighed, "I'm jealous, man. You know what you want and you go for it. Maybe I should figure my own life out."
