True Love Waits novel Chapter 1065

Evelyn cut in to stop Gwyn. "Sweetie, Dad was just kidding. You can't call Uncle Gifford that." Then, she turned to Sheffield, "How could you be such a bad example to your daughter?"

Gifford echoed her, "Yes Gwyn, your mom is right. Come here, little cutie, give me a hug!"

For a short while, it seemed like Gwyn was hesitant, and then she stretched out her small arms to Gifford.

Holding the little girl in his arms, Gifford was very careful with his every move. He scolded Sheffield quietly, "Some friend! How could you not tell me that you have a daughter? And a cute one at that too! I didn't even prepare a red envelope for Gwyn!"

Sheffield rolled his eyes at him. "In my defense, I just recently found out that I'm Gwyn's father. So how could I have told you earlier?" If he were being honest, Sheffield still couldn't believe that Gwyn was his daughter. Every time he saw the little girl, he felt as if he were dreaming.

"Yeah, yeah! I damn believe you!" Gifford sarcastically said while he glared at Sheffield. He then turned his attention to Gwyn as he carried her to the sofa. With a big smile on his face, he said, "I'm sorry, Gwyn, I didn't prepare any gift. Next time, I will come and see you with a red envelope, okay?"

Gwyn didn't understand what he was talking about. Only when she heard the last word did she reply enthusiastically with one word—"Okay."

"My goddaughter is so sweet!"

Meanwhile, Carlos had been waiting for them to stop talking. Once Sheffield and Gifford were done, he waved at Sheffield without any expression on his face. "Come here."

Sheffield and Evelyn exchanged a look before walking towards Carlos together.

Sheffield then greeted the others formally, "Hello, Uncle Carlos, Aunt Debbie, Uncle Wesley, Aunt Blair, Matthew, and Erica. I'm Sheffield Tang, a good friend of Gifford's, Evelyn's fiance, and Gwyn's father." He made his identity clear for everybody.

When Gwyn heard him call her name, she called back, "Daddy!"

"Good girl!" Sheffield turned and winked at his daughter.

Debbie was thrilled to see her son-in-law-to-be. She warmly smiled at Sheffield and said, "Sheffield, have a seat."

Blair scrutinized Sheffield from head to toe before asking Debbie, "He seems like a good man. Why would Carlos stop Evelyn from being with him?"

"He just wants trouble!" Debbie exclaimed, annoyed at the thought of what Carlos had done to mess with Evelyn's relationship with Sheffield. Once Sheffield and Evelyn sat down, Debbie placed all of the food in front of them.

Meanwhile, Wesley didn't actually have a good impression of Sheffield since he had seen him flirting with another woman. While looking Sheffield in the eye, he provoked him. "Why don't we go outside and settle this?"

Sheffield looked in a panic. "No, no, I wouldn't dare! Uncle Wesley, your skills are incomparable to mine."

When Carlos heard what Sheffield said, he sneered to himself, 'Wouldn't dare?' Then, Carlos urged his friend, "Wesley, this boy is such a smooth talker. He's lying. Just drag him out and beat him!"

Carlos actually knew how good Sheffield was at martial arts, so he could tell that Sheffield was lying.

Debbie patted Carlos' back in order to calm him down. She then reproached him in a soft voice, "What are you doing? Can't we just have a nice and peaceful talk as a family?"

Blair thought that Debbie was right. She held Wesley's hand and said in dissatisfaction, "Seriously? You're much older than him. Is this how you treat people that are younger than you? Is using your fists the only way you know to solve a problem?"

Wesley immediately straightened up and remained silent.

When everyone had settled down, Sheffield announced, "Uncle Carlos, Aunt Debbie, I guess I'll go straight to the point on why we came here. I've proposed to Evelyn and she said yes. We have been preparing for our wedding and we even set up a date to take prenuptial pictures. In conclusion, we love each other. There's no doubt about that in our hearts. For our sake and for Gwyn's sake, Uncle Carlos, please don't make things difficult for Evelyn. If you have something that you're not satisfied with, please don't take it on her. Please take it out on me and we can sort it out."

"She is my daughter. Of course, I won't make things difficult for her! If you want to marry Evelyn, you can."
