Half an hour later, they stopped and decided to rest on a bench near the lake.
Sheffield unscrewed a bottle of water and handed it to her. As she drank the water with her head up, he said in a low voice, “Evelina, my schedule has changed. I'll have to go back by tomorrow, at the latest."
Evelyn paused for a moment, then said, "Concentrate well on your job when you get back."
Sheffield looked at her with a complicated emotion in his eyes. He couldn't find a trace of reluctance or sadness on her face after observing her for a moment.
"Evelina," he called out.
She turned to him.
Sheffield moved closer to her and held her in his arms.
"Will you come back with me?"
Evelyn rested her head in his arms and said in a low voice, "I want to stay here for a few more days."
She had been so happy in the past few days that she didn't want to go back to Alorith yet.
A gust of cold wind blew from the lake. Although she had felt hot after riding the bike, a shiver ran through her body.
Sheffield held her tighter in his arms and adjusted his body to block the strong wind. He looked down at the woman he Loved and whispered,
“Evelina.
"Yes?" The air between them was so romantic since they were sitting so close to each other.
She looked into his eyes, with some sort of expectation rising from the bottom of her heart.
Expectation... She didn't know what she was expecting.
He Lowered his head and kissed gently on her red lips.
She was so satisfied that she finally knew what she was expecting all along.
Compared to his first tentative kiss and the second forced kiss, this one was much more passionate.
Evelyn didn't refuse it. She was such a beauty that Sheffield wanted to possess her at that very moment.
A few minutes Later, they broke apart. He held her face in his hands and looked at her affectionately.
“Evelina, be my girlfriend, please? I want a future with you."
Evelyn didn't respond. She collected herself and broke free of his embrace.
Standing by the lakeside, she Looked into the distance.
"Sheffield, I know what you want."
