True Love Waits novel Chapter 862

Sheffield only paused for a moment. That was all. Holding Evelyn's cold hands tightly, he pulled her into his arms and gently kissed her hair. "Anything else?" he asked in a soft voice.

"Isn't that enough?" she asked in reply.

The man smiled. "Not nearly enough to scare me away from you."

He looked into her startled eyes. She had gone through so much pain in her life. No wonder she hardly smiled.

But now, he was with her. And he intended to be by her side and share all her woes.

Evelyn didn't know how to respond. She smiled weakly and asked, "Has anyone told you how stupid you are, Sheffield?"

"Yes," he chuckled. "You."

Evelyn scoffed. "Everybody else thinks otherwise?"

"Yes, obviously. I'm actually pretty smart, you know."

"Could you be any more condescending?" Evelyn had to try her best not to roll her eyes at him. Sheffield had earlier said that her father was just envious of his good looks, and now, he was bragging about how smart he was. This man had no limits to his self-admiration.

"I am just really confident about myself, babe. That's how you should face everything in life—boldly and without any doubts." Sheffield released her and put his arm around her shoulder. They walked towards the car together.

"Where do you get these ideas from?" she asked.

"It is Master Tang's motto in life. You're welcome. And remember to tell the others who said it when you quote Master Tang in the future."

Evelyn couldn't take it anymore. She shook off his arm and glared at him with a smile. "Stay away from me, Master Tang."

Ignoring her, he threw himself into her arms and gave her a bear hug. "I don't want to."

Feeling his weight, Evelyn sighed, "Ugh! You are such a kid!"

"Haven't you heard, Evelyn?"

"What?"

"We are all children till we are a hundred years old. Stop thinking, and start living. And live happily, like a child with no worries. Sounds great, doesn't it?" He swore to himself that he would dote on her, turn her into a carefree child, and spend the rest of their lives together.

Evelyn only smiled. She knew Sheffield was right, but it was not that easy for her. She had a lot to worry about.

They got into Sheffield's car, while Tayson drove her car and followed them along.

On the way, Sheffield asked, "Where are we going tonight?"

After some thought, she turned to him and replied. "It's late. I want to go back to my place."

A sly smile appeared on Sheffield's face. He really needed to seize this opportunity and get laid.

When they arrived at the gated community where Evelyn lived, Sheffield's car was let in without questions because she was in the passenger seat. Instead of driving past the security, Sheffield grabbed a new pack of cigarettes from the car and handed it to the security guard, who was probably around forty or fifty years old. "Man, it's amazing that you work so late into the night. You must be really tired. Go on, have a smoke."

Evelyn blinked in confusion.

The pack of cigarettes was worth three to four hundred dollars. The security guard was tempted, but it was still working hours and they had strict rules in the high-end community. He regretfully denied the offer. "Thank you, sir, but I cannot accept this during work hours."

Sheffield looked at the security camera and said, "All right, suit yourself."

"Have a good night, sir, Miss Huo."

As the car slowly moved forward, the guard turned his back to the camera. Sheffield took advantage of the position of the camera and slid the cigarette pack into the guard's hand. He then drove away quickly.

The guard was stunned for a while and stood frozen to the spot.

He slowly realized that the camera might not have caught him at that position, so he swiftly hid the cigarette in his coat pocket and returned to his seat as if nothing had happened.

He also checked the security footage to set his mind at rest.
