True Love Waits novel Chapter 929

"Oh, thank you, Grandma Miranda! You are so sweet!" Sheffield said, with a gentle and graceful nod.

The energy in the room was vibrant and festive. Debbie noticed the roses in Sheffield's arms and turned to look at Terilynn, chuckling. "Sheffield, you've met Terilynn, right? Why don't you just sit next to her?"

Debbie had deliberately left an empty seat next to Terilynn earlier on.

Sheffield, however, without saying anything, walked past Terilynn and went over to the main attraction of the party tonight—Evelyn.

When he stopped in front of Evelyn, Debbie walked up to him and reminded him in a low voice, "Hey, Terilynn is over there. This is Evelyn." Debbie's desperate attempt to fix up Sheffield with Terilynn was blatantly apparent.

With a smile, Sheffield turned to Debbie and explained, "Aunt Debbie, but I came here just for Evelyn."

"What?" The stunned expression on Debbie's face froze. However, the others seemed unperturbed and were all as calm as they were.

Sheffield pulled Evelyn up and handed her the roses. "Evelyn, happy birthday! Sorry, I'm late!"

Evelyn looked at Debbie, who was standing there in utter disbelief, and then at Carlos, who sat with a darkened face. Faced with her parents' watchful eyes, Evelyn didn't know whether to take the large bouquet of roses or not. She bit her lower lip and softly said, "Thank you..."

Joshua, having been Sheffield's wingman, cleared his throat and meekly said, "Evelyn, those roses are for you. Why are you just standing there?"

Evelyn cast an embarrassed glance at Debbie from the corner of her eyes and reached out her hands to take the flowers from Sheffield.

As soon as Evelyn put the bouquet of flowers in her arms, Debbie came back to her senses. She looked at Carlos, who was still silent, and said, "Is he the one you were talking about? The one with Evelyn in D City?"

'Oh my God! Am I the last person to know about this?' she wondered.

Carlos remained unresponsive. With a darkened face, he switched his cold gaze from Sheffield to Evelyn.

Carlos didn't deny it, and his silence had answered Debbie's question.

She looked down, patting herself on the forehead and murmured in disbelief, "Oh my God, it's Sheffield!" Debbie had spent almost half a month visiting First General Hospital, trying to fix Sheffield up with Terilynn. As it turned out, however, he and Evelyn had been together for so long, and Carlos knew the whole time.

Meanwhile, Miranda silently eyed both Sheffield and Calvert up and down, comparing them in her mind. Although she hadn't been home in a while, she knew what had happened between Evelyn, Sheffield and Calvert.

Sheffield was not only pleasing to the eyes, but also had a warm demeanor, unlike Calvert, who was as cold as her son, Carlos.

It wasn't that she thought being cold was wrong; she just didn't think Evelyn would be happy with a man like Calvert.

Before long, Miranda had the answer in her mind.

She was rooting for Sheffield. She wanted to ask him about Evelyn's ectopic pregnancy, but since Calvert was also there, she decided otherwise.

Sheffield felt like he had to say something, so he walked up to Debbie and respectfully said, "Aunt Debbie, I've been meaning to tell you that the person I love is Evelyn. Please don't misunderstand me. Any man would be more than lucky to be with Terilynn, but my heart belongs to your other daughter. I am very much in love with her and I'm sorry for not telling you the truth sooner."

Debbie couldn't help but look Sheffield up and down. After all, this whole time she had been trying to pair Sheffield off with Terilynn.
