"I don't like girls who are more childish than me. I like women Like you-mature, steady, lovely...."

"Lovely?' She thought about it for a while and said, "No one's said that to me in about 20 years. And they called me ‘cute.’ You weren't even born then, were you?"

She grew up with her grandmother and father, and so put on a tough front to deal with them. The cute little girl didn't exist anymore.

Neglecting what she said about her age, Sheffield shrugged and said,

“They don't see you like I do. I mean they don't know you. You are completely hot. And savvy. A smart man would marry and put you on a pedestal."

Joshua had once said that there was one kind of woman that was born to be admired, and men wouldn't have the heart to let her do any work.

So what did he say? That was before Evelyn. He said he'd never met a woman like that.

If he had that conversation with Joshua today, he'd say he met one.

More than that, he'd yell it from the rooftops.

Evelyn continued what she was doing.

“Hah! You're just saying that to get into my pants."

“You wound me. Other women have asked me to marry them. To admire them, put them on a pedestal. But they're not worth it. You, on the other hand... Evelina, if you want to get married one day, just tell me. I'd do it in a heartbeat!"

‘If you want to get married one day, just tell me. I'd do it in a heartbeat!' Evelyn's mind was a mess.

She stopped what she was doing, looked at the man who was looking at her seriously, and said softly, "I want to get married now."

Sheffield immediately straightened himself, threw the tea basket aside, grabbed her hand and walked back.

“Do you have your ID card? Did you bring your residence booklet? I brought my ID, and now I'm taking you back with me to get my residence booklet. We can do this quickly!"

Evelyn was amused. She struggled and said, "Knock it off. Bring the tea leaves. Let's get off this mountain.

Sheffield's face instantly turned bleak.

“Oh my God! You lied to me. I thought that we'd be married as soon as possible!"

The man looked desperate as if he had been abandoned after having a good time with her.

Evelyn pulled her hand back and curled her lips.

“When I want to get married, you'll be the first to know."

“Okay. What's your number? I'll call you later." He took out his phone to save her number.

Evelyn looked at him and said flatly, “Look. I Like you, but this can't last. After we go back home, we'll live our own lives, so maybe we shouldn't talk to each other.”

Sheffield was speechless. He held his wounded heart sadly.
