When Carlos heard what Sheffield said, he sneered to himself, ‘Wouldn't dare?' Then, Carlos urged his friend, “Wesley, this boy is such a smooth talker. He's lying. Just drag him out and beat him!"

Carlos actually knew how good Sheffield was at martial arts, so he could tell that Sheffield was lying.

Debbie patted Carlos' back in order to calm him down. She then reproached him in a soft voice, “What are you doing? Can't we just have a nice and peaceful talk as a family?"

Blair thought that Debbie was right. She held Wesley's hand and said in dissatisfaction, “Seriously? You're much older than him. Is this how you treat people that are younger than you? Is using your fists the only way you know to solve a problem?"

Wesley immediately straightened up and remained silent.

When everyone had settled down, Sheffield announced, “Uncle Carlos,

Aunt Debbie, I guess I'll go straight to the point on why we came here.

I've proposed to Evelyn and she said yes. We have been preparing for our wedding and we even set up a date to take prenuptial pictures. In conclusion, we love each other. There's no doubt about that in our hearts. For our sake and for Gwyn's sake, Uncle Carlos, please don't make things difficult for Evelyn. If you have something that you're not satisfied with, please don't take it on her. Please take it out on me and we can sort it out."

“She is my daughter. Of course, I won't make things difficult for her!

If you want to marry Evelyn, you can."

Evelyn was confused by Carlos' sudden amiable attitude. She couldn't help but wonder why her father suddenly changed his mind. Didn't he say that he would rather disown her than allow her to marry Sheffield?

Sheffield could sense that there was a "but" coming at the end of

Carlos' sentence. Despite this anxiety, he was still happy to hear those words. Even if Carlos was to add some terms to their arrangement, it would be fine because that meant there was hope.

"Uncle Carlos, please let me know if you have some conditions. I'll try my best to satisfy them," Sheffield stated with the utmost sincerity.

“In fact, I do have one condition. It's about Gwyn. My granddaughter can have your family name, but you can't take her away. Since you'll be taking Evelyn away from us, you should Let Gwyn stay in here. It only sounds fair, right?"

Everyone in the living room was astounded, filling the room with nothing but silence.

Despite their impressions or personal feelings towards Sheffield, they all thought it was too much to ask.

Instinctively, Debbie wanted to speak for Sheffield, but Carlos grabbed her hand to stop her.

Everyone wondered what Sheffield was going to say. But instead of becoming upset, he remained calm and even put on a smile.

“You only have this one condition, right? I thought it would be something impossible. I can see how much Gwyn is loved here. So, now that you're asking that, of course, it's no problem for me."

At that moment, it all made sense for Sheffield. He finally understood why Carlos had risked his father and daughter's relationship with

Evelyn. Sheffield never believed that Carlos would have the heart to disown his beloved daughter. And as it turned out, the old man was just pretending! It was just Carlos’ way of making them agree to his condition of allowing Gwyn to stay in the Hilton family's manor.

The truth of the matter was, Sheffield had never thought about bringing

Gwyn to the Thompson family's house because he knew first hand that his own family was a mess. It wasn't a good place for a child to grow up.

Evelyn looked at Sheffield, who had a wide smile on his face. She got even more confused about the situation. She had a lot of questions on her mind. ‘Wasn't he so protective of Gwyn just a while ago? He has always loved the child. Why is he giving up on Gwyn right now?‘
