Langston Sanchez's son? The diamond businessman?" Most people in
Alorith knew that the rich diamond family had only one son in this generation.
"Yes." Evelyn was worried that Sheffield would be in big trouble since he had offended Calvert openly.
After all, he was only a doctor, while the Sanchez family held a high place in the city. It would be a piece of cake for Calvert to deal with a mere doctor.
Sheffield drew closer to her and asked in a tender voice, "Are you worried about me?"
Evelyn didn't hide her worries; she nodded seriously.
He smiled and sat back in his seat, with his legs crossed.
"Don't worry. If you meet him again, please pass on my message to him. If he ever calls you again, I, your dearest husband, will carve his kidneys out and sell them."
Evelyn rolled her eyes at him.
Evelyn found that Sheffield Liked boasting. That was a side of him she hadn't seen. And challenging Calvert like that...
"But..." Before she could speak, Sheffield moved closer to her again, noses almost touching.
Her heart skipped a beat. She stuttered, "What... What do you want?"
He stared at her with a serious look.
"I want you to keep your promise.”
“What promise?" She broke eye contact, pretending not to know what he meant.
Sheffield never imagined she'd play dumb. He sighed and spelled it out for her.
"You promised to be my girlfriend for ten days."
"Oh..." she responded quietly
He was unhappy.
“Is that all you can say? ‘Oh'? How about yes or no?
You going to dump me after I helped you out?"
Evelyn felt she was too impulsive a moment ago. She shouldn't have asked him to take Calvert's call.
Sheffield grabbed her hands and confronted her in disbelief, “So you
Lied to me? Why would you do that? Get my hopes up and everything?"
It was a habit for her to say no. She shook her head.
