True Love Waits novel Chapter 856

After kissing her on the cheek and heaving a sigh, Sheffield pretended to be sad. "Evelyn, I waited a long time, but you never came over. So I came to your bedroom instead."

"I'm warning you: touch me again and regret it!" All of a sudden, Evelyn was scared. Sheffield wasn't cowed by her bravado. He wore that annoying smile that he always did, and his confidence was high.

"Actually, that sounds like fun! Will I regret this?" Without giving her another chance to speak, he lowered his head and kissed her red lips.

"Shef... field...hmm."

"Sheffield? I prefer to be called 'husband, ' baby! Or maybe darling!" He started running his hands over her, neck, shoulders, cheek.

Evelyn was pissed off. "Would you like Tayson to break us up?" she threatened.

"No, thanks. Three's a crowd!" He lifted her up and walked towards her bedroom.

She had a luxurious bedroom, with a good amount of square footage. A large bed with grey and white bedding was near the balcony. However, Sheffield was not in the mood to appreciate the scenery. He placed her lightly on the bed, and then lay heavily atop her.

In the dim light, he pinned her hands to the bed and whispered in her ear, "Evelyn, I've missed you so much. Please don't push me away. I'm heartbroken."

"No way... Ugh..." She struggled against him, but gravity was on his side.

"Eve, do you care about me?" he asked the woman under him. He sounded like he was mocking her.

Turned on, Evelyn's mind was a mess. Upon hearing his question, she simply answered, "Mmm."

"Don't say you don't care about me anymore, okay? I'll be sad!"

"Okay..."

"Good girl."

It was after nine o'clock the next morning. Evelyn's phone rang many times before she suddenly woke up from her dream.

"Ow..." Her discomfort made her frown tightly.

The pain reminded her that what happened last night was real rather than a dream. Sheffield had really come here and slept with her.

She picked up her phone from the nightstand. The call was from Nadia, her assistant. "Hello," Evelyn answered in a hoarse voice.

"Miss Huo, it's almost time for the morning meeting. Will you be able to make it? I haven't seen you here."

Evelyn rubbed her temples and said, "I got a late start. Conference room A-7, right? Go ahead and start without me if you need to. I'll be in shortly."

"Yes, Miss Huo."

After hanging up, Evelyn sat up in bed.

The bed and the floor were a mess, and there was still a trace of desire lingering in the air. Sheffield had left. Evelyn didn't check the time back then. She vaguely remembered him telling her, "There's something important I have to attend to. Otherwise, I'd happily stay here."

Evelyn smoothed her disheveled hair, lowered her head and looked at herself. She was covered with hickeys. Clearly, he had taught her a good lesson.

She wondered what the hell was wrong with him. He'd come all the way here in the middle of the night just to sleep with her and then left with the dawn.

Still feeling the night before, Evelyn sighed with profound resignation and went to the bathroom to freshen up.

Tayson drove her to the meeting. On the way, Evelyn asked Tayson, "When did you leave last night?"
