True Love Waits novel Chapter 1054

Later that night, with Evelyn's help, Sheffield personally bathed Gwyn and tucked her into bed. Then, he asked someone to bring him a stack of children's storybooks and began reading the kid some of those stories.

Evelyn left them to bond and went into the bathroom. Gwyn's giggles could be heard from the bedroom. She had to accept that Sheffield really knew how to take care of kids.

After playing with her daddy for about half an hour, the little girl gradually drifted off to sleep as Sheffield read to her the story about a happy dinosaur.

After making sure that Gwyn was safely tucked in bed, and confirming that Evelyn was still in the shower, Sheffield walked to the study to make an urgent phone call.

"Old Fan, I need a favor," he said when Joshua picked the call.

"Fuck off! You are the old fan!" Joshua bellowed.

"Oh please, Dear Joshua. Where is your girlfriend now? I need a favor from her."

"Get lost! And don't 'Dear Joshua' me!"

Sheffield grunted, "Are you gonna help me or not?"

"Let's see. Call me 'Big Brother.'"

Sheffield rolled his eyes so hard that they could have fallen out the back of his head. But he said it anyway. "Big Brother." After all, Joshua was older than him, so it was not that big of a deal. However, once he got married to Evelyn, he would be the elder brother-in-law. And that would naturally warrant Joshua to show him some respect. Sheffield planned on making the most out of his superiority then.

Feeling perfectly content, Joshua replied enthusiastically, "So, Maestro Tang, what do you want from your big bro?"

"When my life was on the line that day, I had given Evelyn the diamond ring, but she is not wearing it. I guess she has left it in the Huo family manor. Ask Terilynn to search for it in Evelyn's collection room and bring it to me. No, just ask her to find out if it's there. I'll go get it myself."

"What? How can you take back the ring you've already given to her? You trying to go back on your words? That's not cool, man."

"You think I would go back on my word, you idiot big bro?" Sheffield chided. "I had no choice but to hastily give the ring to Evelyn that day. I was pretty sure that I was gonna die. I didn't think I would be lucky enough to survive. Now that I've recovered, I have to apologize to my lady love for my faults and make a formal marriage proposal. I want to personally put the ring on her finger." Sheffield was penniless again, so there was no way for him to buy another diamond ring. He had to wait for the dividend from Theo Group or make some money by taking tasks as Star Anise.

And it suddenly dawned on him that he owed Joshua some six million dollars!

It was just too difficult to get the red diamond. He had spent a lot of manpower and money on the ring. Moreover, he had even sold a few weapon designs too.

"Wow, Maestro Tang. You really are a romantic. Fine, I'll tell Terilynn. But what if it isn't at the manor?"

"I'm sure it is. The Huo manor is the safest place to keep the ring," Sheffield said affirmatively.

"All right. Wait for my message." It was a trivial favor. Joshua didn't mind helping him out.

"Thank you, my dearest! Come on, now give me a kiss. Muah!" Sheffield teased. He loved making fun of Joshua.

"Sheffield." A woman's cold voice sounded all of a sudden. Evelyn was standing at the door, staring at him, expressionless.

Sheffield was so shocked that he almost dropped the phone. But he reacted quickly and said to the person on the other end, "Hold on, bro. I'm pretty sure that Evelyn has misunderstood us. Please say something to her for me."

Joshua was feeling sick after having to listen to Sheffield's teasing. Now, it was his turn to gloat. "Clean up your own mess, little bro." He laughed and hung up.

Sheffield looked at the phone helplessly. Then he rushed to show Evelyn the call log. "Honey, I swear I was just talking with Joshua. See for yourself."
