If you break up with him, I can guarantee you'll be happier down the road."
Evelyn shook her head.
“You don't know him. He couldn't have had sex with another girl. He listens to me and respects me. He treats me Like a queen. He didn't tell anyone about his background. There might be something painful that he doesn't want to talk about..."
Carlos wasn't angered by her words. He said calmly, “Evelyn, even if he has a tragic past, why can't he tell you? You're supposed to be close to him, right? Do you think I'd hide something like that from your mother? Quit defending him. If he had something hard to deal with in his past, he would have told you. Which means you're not that close.”
Debbie thought Carlos’ words made sense.
“Baby girl, don't let him hurt you again. Just listen to your dad."
Carlos patted Evelyn's back and coaxed, “Don't get fooled by him again.
That lie will grow bigger and bigger until you just can't escape it. If he closes his net of lies, you'll be trapped forever."
The Living room was quiet again. Looking at all this, Terilynn widened her eyes. She felt very sorry for her sister, not to mention her parents. They were just worried about her.
By the next afternoon, another rumor about Evelyn went viral.
“The Eldest Princess of Hilton Group Is Dating Calvert, the Only Son of the Seventh Generation of the Sanchez Clan." Everyone was talking about it.
The article claimed that Evelyn didn't have a boy toy and the man in the photos was her boyfriend, Calvert. They dated a long time, but they had a fight and broke up a few days ago. So Calvert took a bunch of flowers to apologize to Evelyn, and got her back.
The rumors made sense, but that didn't mean they were true.
Although the Sanchez family was rich, they were nothing compared to the
Hiltons. But still, Calvert was a gemologist, an expert in precious gems and jewels. And that was a pretty lucrative job. People just reluctantly accepted the match, and blessings for the couple spread all over the Internet.
Evelyn's heart sank at the news.
She wasted no time calling Carlos.
"Dad, is this what you want?"
“Yes!"
“Whatever.”
After hanging up, Evelyn stared at her phone, deep in thought.
Half an hour later, Sheffield's phone number lit up her cell.
She picked up the phone.
“Hi.
“Evelyn, I just got out of surgery. Looks like Dad still hates me. This time he set up Calvert as your boyfriend. Is he happy it worked?" He sounded so relaxed that Evelyn wondered if he even got upset when he saw the news about her and Calvert.
