After getting dressed, they walked out of the walk-in closet, one behind the other.

Looking at the man putting on a wristwatch in the bedroom, Evelyn said,

"Sheffield."

He turned to her and said, "Yes?"

“I'm sorry for what happened yesterday. I didn't mean to." Evelyn desperately needed to get this off her chest.

Sheffield didn't respond to her immediately. After a brief pause, he curled his lips to her gaze and said, "Why must you be so formal with me?"

Evelyn's heart sank immediately. His nonchalance made her wonder whether he was just covering up his emotions really well or he really didn't care about it.

Sheffield was all set, but then, something occurred to him. He stopped smiling and asked, “Did I apologize to you Last night?"

He could conjure up an image of himself apologizing to her, but he wasn't sure if it was a dream or not.

Evelyn nodded and said, “Actually, you don't have to feel guilty. It was just an accident."

"The pain you have suffered will be the pain that I will willingly suffer all my life." Sheffield peered into her eyes and continued, "I hope that you can talk to me about anything in the future!"

He knew an apology was not enough for him to make it up to her.

With a warm smile, Evelyn replied, "Okay."

"You should probably go to work now. I may not be able to see you often in the next few days. Remember to take good care of yourself!" His research and development project had come to a critical point, so his presence at the research and development center was of paramount importance.

His words left Evelyn in a trance. She wondered whether it was truly because he was going to be busy with work or he was just mad at her

After leaving his apartment, Evelyn got in her car, rolled down the window and told the man standing outside the window, “Wait, there's one more thing."

Evelyn opened the car door and got out.

“What's wrong?"

“Well, it's something related to the Todd family." After much reluctance, Evelyn weighed out all the pros and cons before she spoke.

She felt uncomfortable at the moment because she had never helped him in anything and he had never asked any help from her before. How could she ask him to make a compromise on the Todd family matter?

The moment he heard her mention the Todd family, the smile in his eyes disappeared.

For a while, both of them stood in silence as neither of them said anything to each other

Finally, when Evelyn recalled the troubled Look on Savannah's face, she said, "I know I don't have the right to meddle in how you deal with the

Todd family. I don't care about Sidell. He deserves it. I just wanted to ask...if you can be a little...lenient with...Dollie..." She was too embarrassed to continue.

"For my sake, can you...forgive her? After all, she was just a kid back then."
