True Love Waits novel Chapter 1228

Shamelessly, Sheffield pulled Evelyn into his arms. "Honey, I was just kidding with Rika. Neither she nor Matthew was really angry. They had dinner at Evefield Restaurant. They are probably enjoying their romantic night right about now. It's late. Why don't we enjoy our night as well?"

Evelyn shook her head. "Matthew said that if you don't spend the night kneeling on the keyboard, he will tell Dad that you tried to separate Rika from him. He already has the surveillance video of you and Rika chatting in the company. He threatened to send it to Dad if you don't listen to him."

The surveillance video of ZL Group was of high-definition quality, and unlike ordinary CCTV cameras, the audio was also crystal clear. If this matter reached Carlos, Sheffield wouldn't even be able to deny what had happened.

'Matthew has become more ruthless than his father! I got no luck!' Sheffield thought to himself with a sigh.

Carlos was openly satisfied with his daughter-in-law. If he ever came to know that Sheffield had tried to drive a wedge between Erica and Matthew, Sheffield would surely meet his end.

With another long sigh, Sheffield headed to the keyboard on the balcony and knelt down on it.

Two minutes later, Evelyn came over with a plate of fruits. She put an apple slice into his mouth and said, "I'm free now. Shall we talk for a while?"

Chewing the apple, Sheffield sullenly flipped through his messages on his phone and replied to a customer's query. "I swear you could never find another CEO who is as miserable and diligent as I am!" he complained. Where would anyone find a CEO of a large company kneeling on a keyboard shamelessly and having to work while being punished by his brother-in-law?

Evelyn sat on a chair next to him and nodded, "Hmm. Mr. Tang, why do you always have to provoke Matthew knowing something like this would happen?" This was Matthew's favorite punishment for him. Every time Sheffield pissed him off, Matthew would ask Evelyn to make him kneel on the keyboard.

Evelyn wondered how Sheffield managed to keep his position as the CEO of Theo Group after all that he had done. It seemed that his father didn't mind at all.

The man smiled guiltily at his wife. Although he knew that this was all his fault, he could never admit it in front of her. "It's all because your dear brother can't take a joke," he scoffed.

"Since you know that he can't take a joke, why do you make fun of him? It's still your fault!"

'How is that my fault?' he cried in his head.

Sheffield opened his mouth, and Evelyn fed him a strawberry. After a moment's thought, she took out her phone from the pocket of her pajamas. She secretly recorded a video of Sheffield on the keyboard and sent it to Matthew.

She wrote under the video clip, "He is reflecting on his mistakes."

"Thank you, Evelyn."

"He is quite busy with work, and he is going on a business trip tomorrow afternoon. How about letting him off this time?" Evelyn asked, feeling sorry for her poor husband.

"He is your husband. Do as you wish," Matthew replied.

Evelyn put away her phone and smiled at Sheffield, who was still texting his customer. "Call me darling," she said.

Every time he was finally allowed to get up from the keyboard, Evelyn would say those words. Sheffield's eyes lit up. He immediately stood up from the keyboard and hugged Evelyn. "Darling! You're the best.

I love you so much!"

He carried the woman into their bedroom. Evelyn still had her facial mask on. She patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't mess around. Go take a shower first!" Her mask needed to be on for another ten minutes.

"Yes, ma'am! Wait till I get back! I will serve you deliciously and make you the happiest woman tonight!"

Evelyn shook her head. 'Oh God! We have been married for so many years. Why is this man still so full of energy?' she thought with a smile.

At that same time, in an unknown hotel

In a room, Julianna looked shockingly at the man with the yellow hair standing in front of her. She asked, "Why are you here?"

She had gone out to the supermarket when she was suddenly brought here. Her face had been covered the entire time. She had no idea that her kidnapper was this man.

He was Julianna's ex-boyfriend, the hooligan who had hit her so hard that she had a miscarriage.
