True Love Waits novel Chapter 876

Sheffield pulled up a chair and sat down in front of Evelyn. "The others were on patrol duty."

"So, you just sneaked in?" she asked.

"Yes."

She was perplexed.

Sheffield grinned. "Come on, I'm not a bad guy. Why do you have to bother about all the minor details? I only came to bring you some food."

"You could have just called me instead of going through all the roundabout methods."

The man shrugged and replied casually, "I wanted to surprise you. If I had called you in advance, then what would have been the point?"

Evelyn didn't argue further. He had an answer for everything.

"Evelyn, how about you leave the rest of the work for tomorrow?"

"No, there are a few more documents awaiting my signature. They are needed for tomorrow's meeting." Evelyn put the dessert aside and began going through the documents on her desk.

Sheffield stole a glance at the file she was reading and saw "Y City First General Hospital" written on it. "Oh, it's the contract with our hospital."

"Well, thanks to you, ZL Group will be cooperating with your hospital once again." She remembered their negotiation meeting with the First General Hospital.

Sheffield's lips curled into a grin. "You love me so much."

"Go away!"

"No, I won't. I am waiting for you to finish your work. Let's go out and have some fun!"

"Forget it. I'm not coming anywhere," she refused straightforwardly.

"Fine, I'll go home then," replied Sheffield without arguing.

Evelyn was surprised that he had given up so easily. "You are going home?" She looked up at him.

"Yes, to your home," he answered, tilting his head a little with a wide smile.

Evelyn chided, "Get out!"

"No, I don't want to. I want to be with you."

"Out! Now!"

"What will I do outside? Besides, I like being inside. It's so much more fun, isn't it?" he smirked. "How about you let me inside and we can enjoy ourselves a little?" Evelyn's breath caught.

She gave him a cold stare and cursed, "You're so shameless!"

"What's there to be ashamed of when I'm with you?" He didn't feel the need to hide anything from Evelyn. He wanted her to see him, as he was.

Evelyn was fed up with his flippant tongue. Blushing, she ordered, "Shut up!"

"Yes, darling."

The office finally quieted down.

Sheffield waited for her to finish up. He noticed that although Evelyn looked cold and proud on the outside, deep down, she was still a little girl. She had fallen in love with the desserts he had bought for her and continued to smuggle small pieces of the cake and marshmallows

while she read the documents carefully.

Sheffield didn't want to disturb her, but he couldn't resist teasing. "Evelyn, can I ask you something?"

"What?" she asked shortly without taking her eyes off the papers.

"Who is the person not related to you by blood—your father or husband?"

"Husband," Evelyn replied.

"Yes, wife?"

Silence befell. Realizing that she had been tricked again, Evelyn raised her head and looked at the mischievous grin on his face. "Sheffield Tang..."

"Yes, ma'am?"
