“Okay okay, my lips are zipped." He sat up and looked straight ahead.

The driver saw what was happening through the rearview mirror. He chuckled.

“Girl, don't be so mad at your boyfriend. Couples fight all the time. Your boyfriend has already apologized to you. Give him another chance."

‘Couple? Boyfriend?’ Evelyn tried to explain, but Sheffield beat her to it.

“I made a mistake and I should apologize. If I were her, I would be mad at me too."

"You're a keeper," the driver praised him

Evelyn wanted to call Tayson and ask him to drag Sheffield as far away from her as he could.

But this time Sheffield really shut up.

After around two minutes, he suddenly thrust his phone in front of

Evelyn's face. On the screen, it said, “We applied the mosquito repellent too early. It might have evaporated by now. We should buy some when we reach."

She rolled her eyes. ‘Couldn't he wait till we got there to tell me?

Not talking must be killing him. He is such a chatterbox.’

Evelyn ignored him and turned away to look out the window.

If it had been another woman in the car with Sheffield, the situation would have been in reverse. It would have been the woman badgering him.

But Sheffield had, without doubt, fallen in Love with Evelyn. He wanted to talk to her. He couldn't help it. This had never happened to him before. He actually felt weird.

Luckily, he was able to remain silent until they arrived at their destination. He had the short distance to thank for; it was only a ten-minute drive.

Sheffield went to a store near the entrance to buy the mosquito repellent. When he was back, Evelyn was standing under a sacred fig tree, looking at the plentiful figs.

Her eyes were filled with mixed emotions, mainly sorrow.

He couldn't help wondering, ‘Everybody can tell that she is from a rich family. What has she experienced in her life to make her so sad?"

"Evelina," he called.

Evelyn didn't respond.

He was confused and called her again.

Still, no response. He walked over and tugged at her sleeve. She snapped out of her reverie and stared at him.

"Come here and sit down. I'll apply the mosquito repellent for you."

Sheffield borrowed a chair from the stall near them and asked her to sit on it.
