“Matthew, I found out who the man was! The man who impregnated Evelyn.
It looks like they're still seeing each other, and Dad knows. I haven't told anyone else. What do you think I should do?" She didn't even dare to talk to Joshua about it for fear that she would say something inappropriate.
Matthew frowned at her words. All he cared about was that Evelyn was still seeing that man. He had noticed that Evelyn looked quite good.
“So who is she with right now?" he inquired. Didn't he just see Evelyn and Calvert together on the news?
“You know Dad. He didn't Like that Evelyn was seeing that man. Someone posted a photo of them together which got the rumor mill going, so Dad asked Calvert to pretend to be the man going out with Evelyn. Evelyn's only with Calvert for the media, but she's actually dating that man in private." Terilynn felt helpless. She wanted to be there for her sister, especially now that her father seemed to be controlling her personal life. She didn't know what to do.
The entire room fell silent for a moment. Terilynn continued, "It seems that Evelyn loves him very much. Dad and I saw her, the other day, with that man in front of the office building. They looked very happy. But
Dad disagrees with their relationship. I feel so bad for Evelyn.”
“What's his name and what does he do?" Matthew asked, feeling it necessary to investigate the man.
“Well, I will tell you everything I know, but don't tell anyone that I told you this. I don't want to cause any trouble." Even Debbie didn't know that the man Evelyn loved was Sheffield.
“Sure, you can trust me."
“His name is Sheffield Thompson. He is a doctor and he is always friends with Joshua."
"Sheffield Thompson...’ Matthew fell into pensive reflection as the name sounded familiar to him.
"Is he involved in some kind of research and development?"
"Yes, do you know him? I've heard that he is really good at research, and people keep saying how amazing his project is. Apparently, he has invested a lot of money into it!" Terilynn had learned all this from
Joshua.
“I don't know him personally, but I've heard of him. Why did Evelyn and
Joshua break up?" Having been studying abroad, Matthew needed to catch up on what was going on now.
“Joshua is a good friend of Sheffield's. He didn't know Sheffield had a crush on Evelyn until he went on a blind date with Evelyn. Since he didn't want to hurt Sheffield, he broke up with her, despite Dad's reluctance."
“I see. Well, thanks for the update. You should get some rest now.”
Matthew was finally able to see the whole picture.
“Matthew, can you tell Dad not to force Evelyn to be with Calvert?"
Matthew paused to think for a while and then answered, "You know Dad as well as I do. He always has a good reason for what he does. We may not be able to understand it, but I trust his judgment. He won't let Evelyn marry Calvert." Regardless of Sheffield, Carlos wouldn't force his daughter into marrying Calvert.
Carlos knew better than anyone else what kind of man Calvert was.
Matthew assumed that his father was just using Calvert to drive
Sheffield away.
