Gifford put away the playful look on his face and calmly answered,
“Lovers.”
"Oh." Willow understood.
‘The elder daughter of the CEO of Hilton Group and the heir to Theo
Group are in love.’ She couldn't help but exclaim, "A match made in heaven!"
"A good man and a beautiful woman; they're so perfect for each other."
Gifford was happy to see Sheffield and Evelyn get back together too.
Evelyn asked again, "You won't leave me no matter what happens?"
“Never! I won't Leave you!" Sheffield promised.
The sense of happiness she hadn't felt for a long time spread in her chest and warmed her heart. She responded to his hug.
However, the harmony and happiness didn't last long. Something unexpected happened that afternoon.
At noon, the group all went to Lunch together before they went their separate ways.
As soon as he got back to the office, Sheffield called Carlos. The moment the older man picked up, he got straight to the point and said,
“Mr. Carlos, it's me. Sheffield."
Carlos put his work aside.
“Huh, what? You must miss me yelling at you because you're going to get an earful.”
“Mr. Carlos! I'm declaring war on you!"
‘Of all the crazy—' Carlos felt this guy was out of his mind.
"War?
With me? You don't have the stones!" he Laughed.
“I do. And it's my love for Evelyn that drove me to this." ‘This time,
I won't let her go unless I die!' Sheffield swore to himself.
“Don't talk about love to me. I don't believe you!" Carlos announced.
Twirling the pen Evelyn had bought him, Sheffield continued, “I just wanted you to know I love Evelyn. I'll marry her whether you like it or not." Carlos had warned him not to talk about love, but Sheffield ignored it and did the opposite.
“As far as I know, Sterling and the board of directors all want control of Theo Group. If you aren't careful, they'll boot you out. You also resigned from the hospital. That means if you get fired as CEO, you won't have two nickels to rub together. How can you afford to support my daughter?" Carlos asked. Moreover, he had a granddaughter now.
