“I just got out of a relationship. I'm not ready to start a new one.
Stay away from me," she said in a frosty tone.
“I was wrong. I was being too forward. Let's just go to the Elephant
Valley first. I have chartered a sightseeing car. The driver is waiting for us."
"I don't want to go anywhere with you." Evelyn evaded him and left the room.
Sheffield slapped his head hard, regretting his impatience.
But he wasn't about to give up. If he let her go now, he wouldn't get another chance to be with her.
So, he ran out of the room to chase after her. At the entrance of the restaurant, he caught up to her.
Sheffield grabbed Evelyn's hand and tried to get her into the car.
“Evelina, we can't stand up the driver. He really could use the money.
He told me that his son has brain cancer. He counts on this job to pay the medical expenses. He has been waiting for us for so long; if we cancel on him, all his time would have been wasted and he will be so disappointed."
Evelyn remained nonchalant.
"Then, just pay him thrice the fare.”
“Despite being poor, he is a proud man. He won't take the money for nothing." Without giving her time to reply, he started to push her into the car.
Evelyn was too weak to resist. Sheffield made her sit in the back seat and closed the door. Then he said to the driver, “I'm sorry for keeping you waiting. Let's go."
“That's okay. Sit tight." The driver started the car.
Evelyn was about to ask the driver to pull over. But Sheffield cut her off and apologized, “Evelina, I was too impulsive back there. Just give me a second chance. I promise that I'll behave for the rest of the day.
If you still can't forgive me by the time we get back, I won't bother you again. Deal?"
The sincerity in his eyes calmed her down.
“ALL right."
Sheffield was relieved. He murmured with a smile, "You obviously Loved the kiss. Don't know why you are so angry about it now."
“Stop the car!"
“No, no! Don't stop. Sorry, I'll be quiet." He shut up.
Evelyn rolled her eyes at him.
“One more word and I am out of here."
