At the party, people were talking and laughing, and the air was filled with the smell of alcohol.

When Sheffield arrived at the hotel, he got a call from Joshua, who wasn't there yet.

“Hey bro, are you at the wine-tasting party?" Joshua asked.

“Of course!" Sheffield released Dollie's hand and walked to a quiet corner so he could talk.

“I'm heading there too."

“I know!"

Joshua looked at the silent woman next to him. He wanted to tell

Sheffield that he was going to the party with Evelyn, but he wasn't going to say that in front of her.

“Okay. See you later."

“See you."

After hanging up, Joshua was immersed in thought, playing with his phone.

He had planned to invite Terilynn to go to the wine-tasting party with him tonight, but before he could do that, Darius called him and told him to take Evelyn instead.

That was all because Evelyn needed a plus one.

Joshua was not happy. ‘Seriously, Dad? Tons of guys want to go with her. Why can't she ask one?‘ He blamed it on the parents of both families. They always meddled. They wanted to create opportunities for the two of them.

But, their efforts would be in vain.

By the time Joshua and Evelyn arrived at the venue, Sheffield was in the bathroom. So he missed all the commotion she caused.

When he came back to the party, Dollie was looking for him.

"Sheffield,

I want to buy a bottle of red wine for Dad. I've settled on three.

Which one is best?"

Sheffield Looked around and said, "Let me pick one for you!"

“Okay. I-" Dollie was about to say something when a woman approached them. An idea popped into her mind. Suddenly she frowned and looked at

Sheffield.

"My ear hurts, Sheffield. Could you have a look and see what's going on?"

“Ear? Which one?"
