“No..." With his eyes closed, he shook his head.

"Evelyn." He wanted to take her now. But there was no way he was going to do that in his state. Therefore, he let go of the woman in his arms and tried hard to sit up. The softness of the sofa fought him.

Evelyn held his arm and made him lean against the couch. He was trying to clear his head, and this wasn't helping

He smelled like alcohol, but it didn't make Evelyn uncomfortable. Maybe it was because he drank some high-end, Luxurious wine.

"Evelyn..." He slowly opened his eyes.

But then he closed them again. ‘If I knew she'd be here, I wouldn't have drunk so much, ' he thought.

"I'm here."

“I'm sorry." He felt bad she had to go through the ectopic pregnancy.

Thinking of this, he held the woman in his arms again. He rested his chin on her head to express his guilt.

"If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have had to go through all that. You almost died..."

"So, he does know, ‘ she thought.

"You know I'm crazy for you. Why didn't you tell me you were pregnant?

Don't you trust me? Did you think I'd run away? I'm not like that.

Evelyn, you must have been scared. Scared and hurting. I'm sorry that I wasn't there for you. I wish I could have taken your pain. Please forgive me...

"

Sheffield whispered softly over her head. Evelyn couldn't hold back her tears anymore, Letting them flow freely down her cheeks.

How could others think Sheffield wasn't worthy of her? He was a wonderful guy, loving her with all his heart and soul. Evelyn thought she wasn't worthy of him.

"I know I probably seem childish sometimes. And maybe Calvert acts a lot more mature than me. And you like that. I promise I'11 be mature. I won't act like a kid anymore, okay?" He held her hand tightly and added affectionately, “Evelyn, I'll never give up on you. You're the only one

I love."

Hot tears slid down her cheeks, and finally on Sheffield's hands.

One drop, then two, and more...

Sheffield sensed something was going on with her. He lifted her head and found she was crying.

Her face was covered in tears, which made his heart ache.

He immediately panicked and regained some sobriety.

“Why are you crying, Eve? What did I do? Did I say something wrong? Evelyn, don't cry. I'LL shut up if you want.”
