True Love Waits novel Chapter 886

Blushing, Evelyn wanted to say something, but Sheffield interrupted her. With his intent gaze focused on her, Sheffield continued, "He's a zero, not a hero. He can't even play a level nine etude. Stick with me and I'll play you a level ten piece every day. Chopin, Beethoven, Brahms, Mozart, Jimmy...pick your poison and I'll play it for you."

"Sheffield!" Evelyn called out in a hushed voice. "Hey, cut it out..."

Sheffield was too bold. There were thousands of people watching them. He wasn't shy because of the attention. On the contrary, it fired him up.

"I'm not messing around. Evelyn, if you don't believe me, you can ask Jimmy, that old guy, if I can play his compositions."

'That old guy?' The audience in the concert hall burst into an uproar when they heard how Sheffield addressed the well-known pianist. They were laughing—mostly.

Finally, Jimmy took the chance to walk onstage. He strode over and rapped his knuckles against Sheffield's head. "Brat! Come to ruin my concert again?"

Not only Evelyn, but everyone else stood there, mouths agape.

Everyone was whispering to one another.

"Who is that guy?"

"Why is he trying to ruin Maestro Jimmy's performance?"

"Do they know each other?"

As the scene unfolded in front of him, Calvert's face darkened. 'Obviously, that asshole knows Jimmy pretty well, ' he thought.

Sheffield massaged his head as he pleaded, "I'm sorry, master. Please, give me one more minute. I just want to ask my girlfriend to marry me."

Before Jimmy could say anything, Sheffield had already reached out to Evelyn and said, "Evelyn, I want to marry you. But I haven't had a chance to get rings yet. Can you say yes first? I'll buy the rings later, I swear."

Evelyn was a little worried. "What are you doing? My dad..." she reminded Sheffield in a low voice.

"Evelyn, I mean it," he said sincerely, smiling.

The young CEO was embarrassed. But, the audience didn't mind. They just sat back and enjoyed the show.

Just then, another person broke from the throng. She lifted the hemline of her dress as she walked onstage. "Sheffield."

Dollie walked towards them with deliberate steps. Seeing her, Sheffield frowned slightly. He withdrew his hands and put them in his pockets.

Dollie's sudden appearance changed everything. She stood by Sheffield, put her arm in his and looked Evelyn in the eye. "Miss Huo, I'm really sorry for interrupting you and Mr. Ji. I'm taking him home now. Let's go, Sheffield. Just look at the fuss you made!"

Sheffield broke free of her grip, looked at Evelyn and nodded. He then turned to face the audience and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have wasted your time. I sincerely apologize." Then, he bowed to everyone.

However, to everyone's surprise, he grabbed Evelyn's wrist and led her off the stage after making his apology.

The only ones left on the stage were Dollie, who was too stunned to say anything, and Jimmy, angry at Sheffield's antics. Calvert was there, too, holding a ring in his hand.

The farce ended. They had originally blocked out five minutes for Calvert's proposal, but Sheffield dragged it out to about ten.

By way of apology, Jimmy extended the concert by half an hour, with a couple encores.

Outside the concert hall

Once he let go of her, Sheffield complained, "Evelyn, I leave you alone for a few minutes and this happens."
