Even though he was good at martial arts, everyone had their own weak point. And people like Calvert showed no mercy.

If Calvert took advantage of his weakness, the consequences would be disastrous.

Sheffield bowed his head and kissed her on the cheek. Then he said happily, “I know you're worried about me. Don't worry. I'm a scourge and I'll be around for millennia!"

Evelyn disagreed.

“Who even says that?"

“Other people. About me!" When Sheffield was young, many people regarded him as a scourge.

“Don't say that again." He was a great guy. Evelyn wouldn't allow him to say that about himself.

“Yes, princess," replied Sheffield obediently.

“But what did that woman say to you? That man was trying to explain something to you, to apologize. Why?" He remembered that on their trip to Elephant Valley, Calvert called Evelyn then, and wanted to explain something to her.

Evelyn looked at him with dim eyes and answered frankly, “She said I was a jinx to my boyfriend and was not good enough for Calvert. She also said I jinxed my friends." Speaking of this, she Laughed bitterly and said, "She's not wrong. Besides my ex-boyfriends who died, two of my best friends were hurt too. One was disabled and the other died young..."

Sheffield only paused for a moment. That was all. Holding Evelyn's cold hands tightly, he pulled her into his arms and gently kissed her hair

“Anything else?" he asked in a soft voice.

"Isn't that enough?" she asked in reply.

The man smiled.

"Not nearly enough to scare me away from you."

He Looked into her startled eyes. She had gone through so much pain in her life. No wonder she hardly smiled.

But now, he was with her. And he intended to be by her side and share all her woes.

Evelyn didn't know how to respond. She smiled weakly and asked, "Has anyone told you how stupid you are, Sheffield?"

“Yes," he chuckled.

“You.”

Evelyn scoffed.

“Everybody else thinks otherwise?"

“Yes, obviously. I'm actually pretty smart, you know."

“Could you be any more condescending?" Evelyn had to try her best not to roll her eyes at him. Sheffield had earlier said that her father was just envious of his good looks, and now, he was bragging about how smart he was. This man had no limits to his self-admiration.

"I am just really confident about myself, babe. That's how you should face everything in life-boldly and without any doubts." Sheffield released her and put his arm around her shoulder. They walked towards the car together.
