She looked around warily. Sheffield told her, "No women. I have never brought any women home.. except you." He flashed a cute smile.

But that was not why Evelyn was looking around. After a short pause, she said, "Your cat..."

“Oh, don't worry. I disinfected the house this afternoon, and Horace's son has adopted Bailee." Since Evelyn was allergic to cats, he couldn't keep the animal at his place anymore.

"Did he send his cat away for my sake?’ Mixed emotions surged in

Evelyn's heart. 'He is always so...good to me."

Sheffield led her inside and made her sit down on the sofa. He poured her a glass of water and sat beside her.

“What happened? Tell me.”

His voice calmed her down. She remained silent for a long time.

Instead of hurrying her, he took her into his arms and kissed her on her forehead.

"I'm glad that you came to me. If you don't want to talk about it, it's fine."

“My father wants me to get engaged to Joshua.”

Sheffield's grip tightened on her arms.

“Did you agree?"

Evelyn didn't answer.

"Do you need to go to the hospital tonight?" she asked softly, resting her head on his shoulder. She knew that it was not easy being a doctor; they often needed to work night shifts.

“No. I'm focusing on my research and development right now. I don't have to go to the hospital."

“How's the research going?"

Sheffield smiled, "Not bad. Evelyn, are you here because your father wants you to get engaged to Joshua? Did you have a fight?"

“Someone must have provoked her so badly for her to actually come to me voluntarily, ' he thought.

Evelyn didn't respond. She was in no mood to answer any of his questions. Right now, she regretted yelling at her father and getting emotional in front of him.

“Is it your work? Or do you have some family issues?" he pried.

She still remained silent.

Without asking any more questions, he kissed her forehead and said in a relaxed tone, "The password to my home is 934082. You can drop by any time you want."

“Why are you telling me this? I won't come here again." She was only here tonight because she was furious at her father.

Sheffield chuckled.
