As Sheffield draped his jacket around her, he said in discontent, "Did

Calvert just let you come out Like this

As soon as he had finished speaking, Calvert trotted out of the hotel.

“Evelyn!" he called out. He slowed down when he saw her standing at the gate of the hotel.

Sheffield curled his lips and said, "I have to go now.”

Ignoring Calvert, Evelyn grabbed Sheffield's arm and said, “I'm sorry,

Sheffield..."

Sheffield Lowered his head to look at her hand. After a long while, he said, “Evelyn, I don't want to hear you say sorry." He wanted her to encourage him to wait for her. He wanted her to give him hope.

Evelyn held her breath, not knowing how to respond. At that moment, guilt filled her heart. She really didn't know what else she could say to console him and make him feel better, to make herself feel better.

She could only apologize to him.

Sheffield waited for a long while, but she said nothing more. He sighed, “Evelyn, I just want to know, did you ever care about me? Did you ever think about my feelings?"

"I..." Evelyn raised her head and looked into his eyes. A range of emotions flashed through Sheffield's eyes: affection, love, and finally, resignation.

“I understand why your father would disapprove of me after you suffered from the ectopic pregnancy. I never wanted any of that to happen, but it was an accident. If I could, I'd go back in time and change whatever

I can just to stop that from happening, but I can't. The least I could do is take care of you and make you happy to show you how sorry I am.

But what about you? You didn't even give me a chance." ‘You just gave up and decided to be with another man, ‘ he finished in his mind.

Evelyn stood there in a daze, listening to him pour out his feelings.

Sheffield didn't really want to let this all out, but if he didn't, she would go on with her Life without facing her true feelings.

“Did you ever think what it was Like for me? When I saw you in the hospital, you have no idea what I felt then. You should've told me the truth, but you didn't. You even stayed away from me. Evelyn, you're so unfair to me."

Sheffield had asked himself these questions so many times: If Evelyn hadn't suffered from the ectopic pregnancy, would Carlos have treated him differently? Would he have accepted him? Would they have lived happily ever after? Would they have gotten married? Would they have had a marriage that was blessed with support and love from their families?

However, the bitter truth was that Carlos had never approved of Evelyn and Sheffield's relationship. It was as if Carlos had turned hating

Sheffield into his hobby. Even though he knew that what happened with

Evelyn was an accident, he still chose to blame it on Sheffield.

Still, he blamed neither Carlos nor Evelyn. He figured maybe he just wasn't good enough and Evelyn just didn't love him enough.

“Just this once, be brave and fight for what you want. Evelyn, did you ever fight for our love? Even just once?"

‘Did I fight for our love? I don't know... Maybe not. Because if I did, then why am I second-guessing myself?’ she thought bitterly.
