True Love Waits novel Chapter 991

Damon put his arm around Carlos' other shoulder and said, "Count me in. We'll let him have a taste of the strength that's behind Gwyn—a team of badass men that can beat him to death! He'd better behave himself."

Wesley's lips curled into a sneer. "We're not the only men in the team. Remember, I have an army. I alone can call in thousands of men to kick his ass if he does anything wrong by Gwyn."

Damon nodded, "Damn right! Gwyn is like a granddaughter to you. That's the least you could do to protect her."

Carlos finally smiled. "Let's get out of here. I don't have time for him now. I need to go home to Gwyn."

"Okay, let's go!"

The three men got into their cars and left the parking lot.

As he leaned against the wall, Sheffield thought about Carlos' creepy smile. He had no idea that he had just escaped a beating from an army.

He and Joshua were left alone in the corridor. The deafening music from the booths filled the air. Both of them stayed silent for a while, and then, an ominous presentiment came over Sheffield. "Old Fan, I have a bad feeling about this."

"Could you please stop calling me that?" It sounded like Sheffield was calling him an old fan. Despite the fact that his surname was indeed Fan, Joshua didn't like being addressed that way.

"Carlos has never smiled at me. Ever! But he just did, and there was something weird about that smile. It was creepy as hell. He's probably cooking up something to mess with me," Sheffield said, ignoring Joshua's protest. He stared at the path through which Carlos had left, deep in thought.

Joshua disagreed. "You're just overthinking. Maybe he was in a good mood because of Aunt Debbie's call. Besides, even if he really is trying to get you into trouble, I don't think you have much to worry about. You're smart and strong—a survivor, who always bounces back."

"Well," Sheffield mused. "You do have a point..." But the ominous feeling did not leave him. Carlos' smile meant something; he believed there was a hidden meaning behind it.

It was like the old man knew that something was about to go down, and he was secretly glad that Sheffield had no idea what was going on. He felt like Carlos was enjoying as he, knowing nothing, walked into a trap. He was laughing at his helpless situation. The thought made Sheffield restless.

"Why didn't you explain to him that you were only flirting with the woman because you had lost a bet? What if he tells Evelyn? Did you even think about that? Since when have you become so careless?" Joshua was worried.

Still leaning casually against the wall, Sheffield looked at his friend and said, "If I stopped flirting with other women, would Evelyn come back to me?"

Joshua had no answer to that. He wanted to cheer Sheffield up, but he had no experience in the matters of love and relationships, nor could he think of any encouraging words to say to him.

Heaving a sigh, Sheffield put his arm around Joshua's shoulder. "Let's go home."

Joshua didn't move. "I can't go home. My father kicked me out, saying that I couldn't go back until I either got promoted or got married." He was very morose.

"Oh. Then, come to my place," Sheffield offered.

"I don't want to stay with your family." The Tang family manor was enormous, but there was always a civil war brewing amongst the family members. Joshua couldn't stand being around those people. Sheffield Tang was the only sane person in that family.

"Good, because I don't want to stay with them either. Let's go to my apartment." Sheffield's heart screamed. It was his and Evelyn's apartment. Their home.

"All right!" Joshua had no problem with that. In fact, he welcomed the idea.

Sheffield was still thinking about Evelyn. He said, "I'll purse Carlos' daughter and I'll marry her. I will make her serve me, dress me up and cook for me. I will reward her with sweet words if she makes me happy, and I will punish her if she upsets me. Yes! That feels so right!"

With a scornful look at him, Joshua said, "Yeah, sure! Like you would dare. Keep bragging."

He knew Sheffield loved her too much to do that to her.

'I'll have to keep this in mind, so that I can tell Evelyn about this the day this idiot marries her. Things will be very interesting, ' he thought to himself with a smirk.

In the Huo family manor

Carlos and Evelyn reached the manor at the same time. When they went upstairs to check on Gwyn, the little girl was still up, holding her doll. Debbie was with her.
