Well, she had to admit that she was indeed a Little hungry. So, she decided to have some.

She opened the bag of cucumber-flavored chips. ‘Wow! This is super crunchy!' she thought, taking a bite.

She then opened the packet of dried shredded squid and took a few bites of it. At first, she thought it tasted bad. But as she chewed, it started tasting better, and she soon loved it.

Before beginning to cook, Sheffield walked out of the kitchen and took a bite of the dried shredded squid.

"It's delicious, right? Share some with me," he said in a cheerful voice.

Evelyn put the dried shredded squid, which she had almost finished, into his mouth and asked, "Do you always eat snacks?"

"Yes, I love them. Why? You thought men didn't indulge themselves in some leisurely snacking?" he asked, with a raised brow.

“I was just curious, that's all," she said with a shrug. She opened the almond packet, put a few nuts into his mouth, and ate one herself.

With a smile, Sheffield went back into the kitchen to make their dinner.

They had a warm, happy dinner without any interruption from outsiders.

Sheffield was an exceptional cook. Even though Evelyn was a picky eater, she gladly ate all of the dishes.

After dinner, she sat on the sofa and watched as Sheffield cleaned the kitchen and picked up the trash. He washed his hands thoroughly before sitting next to her.

“I should go back to my place," she said.

Sheffield tilted his body towards her.

"Please don't leave," he pleaded. He had been thinking about carrying her into his bedroom.

“No, I don't have any spare clothes or other essentials for the night.

I can't stay." ‘Women are troublesome, ' he thought. They needed a lot of things just to stay overnight in a different place.

Sheffield pressed his body against her.

“Okay, I'll come to your place then. Wait for me. I'll get changed quickly."

He decided to buy some clothes and other stuff for Evelyn so that she could stay overnight in his apartment without notice.

Evelyn wanted to refuse, but Sheffield was already halfway to his bedroom.

They soon reached her gated community. When they drove past the entrance, they saw the same security guard from the night before. He was visibly happy to see Sheffield's car, and even greeted him with a salute.

Sheffield broke into a wide grin and threw him a pack of cigarettes, just as he had done before.

Soon afterwards, Evelyn finally realized why Sheffield had bribed the security guard.

Now that he was friends with the guard, even if Evelyn wasn't with him, he wouldn't have to climb over the wall to get into the gated community. He could just drive casually through the entrance.
