Evelyn pushed him away and threw the condoms he brought in the trash.

Confused, he looked at the can and asked, "Do you want a kid then?"

“No way!" Evelyn opened the door to the apartment.

“Wait for me here,” she said.

“Where are you going?" Sheffield was completely confused by her behavior.

“Out. To buy something."

His brows furrowed tightly, a miserable look on his face. He was already burning with lust. He was so hard it hurt. How could she just leave the house now?

When Evelyn walked out of the apartment, Sheffield was about to follow her, but she held out a hand to stop him.

“Stay here. Tayson will go with me," she demanded.

“Um...fine," he nodded helplessly. Anyway, this was her home. She couldn't run off, could she? He obediently waited for her in the apartment.

He decided to use his time wisely, and take a shower.

After she entered the elevator, Evelyn's thoughts became complicated.

She had no idea why she had an accidental pregnancy Last time. She didn't really feel like asking Sheffield about it, nor did she even want to bring it up. They were going to have sex again, and so it was more important than ever that she protected herself.

Thinking of this, she went to the convenience store down the street and bought something she needed.

Evelyn came back to her apartment and opened the door. She stood in the doorway and hesitated for a moment. Then she turned and told Tayson,

“You don't need to stay here. Take the evening off."

Tayson knew what she meant. He nodded and answered, "Yes, Miss Evelyn."

He watched Evelyn enter the apartment and waited outside a while longer. After making sure there was no skulduggery, he left.

When she came back in, Sheffield was still in the shower. She Looked at what she was carrying and sighed.

Soon enough, Sheffield walked out of the bathroom, wrapped in a bath towel. When he saw the condoms Evelyn had bought, he was stunned. After a short pause, he asked, “So what was wrong with the ones I got?"

“Oh, you know." She didn't want to explain so she gave a perfunctory reply.

He nodded, as if he had an epiphany all of a sudden. 'I see!' He mentally crossed off that brand of condoms in his head. He would buy no more of them.

It was Evelyn's turn to take a shower. In the meantime, Sheffield looked around her apartment. It was almost the same size as his own. It was mostly grey and white, not the pink or purple favored by most girls. There was very little of those Last two.

He found a family photo on her cabinet. There were seven people in the frame; in the background was the gate of a courtyard.

Two elderly people were in the front row. Those must be Evelyn's grandparents. Evelyn and Terilynn were sitting next to them.
