True Love Waits novel Chapter 840

It fell on Debbie to smooth things over. With a smile, she put her hand on Carlos' and said, "Honey, Mrs. Fan and Joshua are right. Getting engaged is a big deal. Think about Evelyn. Don't push her too hard."

Terilynn also spoke. "Dad, it's all your fault. Why are you giving Evelyn a hard time?"

Carlos cast a cold glance at Terilynn. Then, she fell into silence. He looked at Debbie and then turned to the waiter and demanded, "Serve the dishes."

While Evelyn was eating her dinner without thinking about it, Joshua whispered in her ear, "So what do you think of me?"

'What?' Confused, Evelyn asked, "Do you really plan to..."

Joshua knew what she wanted to say. He shook his head and said, "Of course not. It's just a question. It has nothing to do with our relationship." He knew she was Sheffield's woman. She was persona non nookie—off limits.

What he meant was, what did she think about him being her brother-in-law?

Evelyn looked at him up and down. Joshua was wearing a dark suit and his leather shoes glinted in the light. "You don't look like a prosecutor."

Every prosecutor she'd ever met had been super-serious. But just like Sheffield, Joshua was the opposite.

A look of amusement flashed across his face. "Then what do you think I look like?" Joshua asked with strong interest.

Evelyn cast a casual glance at him. "You look like... like... I don't know." she answered honestly.

When he heard this, Joshua was speechless.

Watching them whispering to each other, every elder was happy to see them getting on well. Everyone except Debbie, that was.

As the parents of both families were quite powerful, they were also busy—their dinner was over before long.

They hadn't reached an agreement on the date of engagement by the end. Evelyn was quite adamant about that.

After they parted, Joshua drove his parents home. Penelope turned to her son. "Josh, why does Evelyn not want to marry you?"

"Because we've only known each other a few days. Jeez, you guys! One blind date and you have us marching down the aisle together!"

Penelope nodded thoughtfully. "Mr. Huo is plenty anxious himself. Evelyn doesn't seem to be very lucky in love, if her past relationships are any indication. She have any secrets we need to know about? She seems to be a great gal. But almost thirty but not married yet. I wonder why?"

With a smile, Joshua said, "No secrets I know of. So what do you think about her sister, Terilynn?"

His words caught Darius's attention. He and Joshua looked at each other through the rearview mirror, and Joshua averted his eyes nervously.

"Terilynn? I like her too. Their parents had excellent genes. She and Evelyn are both so good-looking and well-bred. If you can marry one of those two, it's a guarantee your kids will be awesome!" Penelope had the same feeling about the two sisters. If Evelyn were her daughter-in-law, she would be nicer to her.

"Terilynn didn't talk much the whole time tonight. Are you assuming that she is as quiet as her sister?" Joshua asked.

"Yeah, isn't she?" Penelope had seen Terilynn at a concert once, but they didn't talk to each other, so she barely knew her at all.

Joshua smiled, "Actually she is perky. She was just in a bad mood tonight."

He knew about her getting dumped by some guy. When he saw her getting drunk in a bar and some other guy carrying her out, he guessed what had happened.
