Ten percent shares of Hilton Group was worth much more than thirty percent of Theo Group's.

Peterson was surprised. He shook hands with Carlos and said a bit excitedly, "That's really good of you, Carlos. You raised Evelyn so well. Now that she’s going to marry into our family, we should give her those gifts as our gratitude to you folks. You don't need to give

Sheffield anything."

“Please accept it. For Evelyn and Gwyn's sakes," Carlos insisted.

Peterson called Sheffield's name and gestured for him to come over.

Sheffield broke off his conversation with Damon, and set down his drink. His father told him all about it. He wanted Sheffield to thank

Carlos.

On hearing about the ten percent stock in Hilton Group, Sheffield thought he was hearing things. He had drunk a lot, after all. He shook his head to make sure that he heard it right.

"Uncle Carlos, that's generous of you. But I don't need it. I can support my wife and daughter."

“If I say you need it, you do. Just take it!" Carlos’ order was non-negotiable. He didn't give Sheffield any chance to refuse.

After thinking for a while, Sheffield proposed, “How about this, Uncle

Carlos? Write Gwyn's name on the share transfer contract. I'm her guardian, and she's the beneficiary. What do you think?"

That was a good idea too. Carlos agreed to it readily.

Carlos had registered Gwyn's name in the Hilton family's residence booklet. They hadn't changed the kid's ID card or family name yet. So, they decided to talk about the shares transferred to her after they handled everything else.

After the Hilton family and Thompson family saw all their guests off,

Sheffield also said his goodbyes to the Hilton family. He was about to climb into Peterson's car when Evelyn called out to him.

She jogged over and said, "I'll drop by tonight. We need to talk."

“Okay. I'll pick you up-if I can get off work early."

"No, thanks. I'll get Felix to drive me to your place."

“Okay, see you tonight," said Sheffield in a gentle voice, and he kissed her forehead.

“Hmm. You reek of alcohol. Remember to take a rest first after you return to your office."

“Yes, ma'am!" Sheffield winked at her playfully.

He wore that smirk that said he was up to no good. He was teasing her again! Evelyn pushed him into the back seat of Peterson's car. She didn't come back until the car was out of sight.

That evening, at Sheffield's apartment, Evelyn was sweating profusely.

After doing what couples normally do, her hair was messy, and she was still trying to catch her breath. She looked at the man who was getting ready to take a shower. She called out, "Honey!"
