Chapter 862: Master Tang

Sheffield only paused for a moment. That was all. Holding Evelyn's cold hands tightly, he pulled her into his arms and gently kissed her hair. "Anything else?" he asked in a soft voice.

"Isn't that enough?" she asked in reply.

The man smiled. "Not nearly enough to scare me away from you."

He looked into her startled eyes. She had gone through so much pain in her life. No wonder she hardly smiled.

But now, he was with her. And he intended to be by her side and share all her woes.

Evelyn didn't know how to respond. She smiled weakly and asked, "Has anyone told you how stupid you are, Sheffield?"

"Yes," he chuckled. "You."

Evelyn scoffed. "Everybody else thinks otherwise?"

"Yes, obviously. I'm actually pretty smart, you know."

"Could you be any more condescending?" Evelyn had to try her best not to roll her eyes at him. Sheffield had earlier said that her father was just envious of his good looks, and now, he was bragging about how smart he was. This man had no limits to his self-admiration.

"I am just really confident about myself, babe. That's how you should face everything in life—boldly and without any doubts." Sheffield released her and put his arm around her shoulder. They walked towards the car together.

"Where do you get these ideas from?" she asked.

"It is Master Tang's motto in life. You're welcome. And remember to tell the others who said it when you quote Master Tang in the future."

Evelyn couldn't take it anymore. She shook off his arm and glared at him with a smile. "Stay away from me, Master Tang."

Ignoring her, he threw himself into her arms and gave her a bear hug. "I don't want to."

Feeling his weight, Evelyn sighed, "Ugh! You are such a kid!"

"Haven't you heard, Evelyn?"

"What?"

"We are all children till we are a hundred years old. Stop thinking, and start living. And live happily, like a child with no worries. Sounds great, doesn't it?" He swore to himself that he would dote on her, turn her into a carefree child, and spend the rest of their lives together.

Evelyn only smiled. She knew Sheffield was right, but it was not that easy for her. She had a lot to worry about.

They got into Sheffield's car, while Tayson drove her car and followed them along.

On the way, Sheffield asked, "Where are we going tonight?"

After some thought, she turned to him and replied. "It's late. I want to go back to my place."

A sly smile appeared on Sheffield's face. He really needed to seize this opportunity and get laid.

When they arrived at the gated community where Evelyn lived, Sheffield's car was let in without questions because she was in the passenger seat. Instead of driving past the security, Sheffield grabbed a new pack of cigarettes from the car and handed it to the security guard, who was probably around forty or fifty years old. "Man, it's amazing that you work so late into the night. You must be really tired. Go on, have a smoke."

Evelyn blinked in confusion.

The pack of cigarettes was worth three to four hundred dollars. The security guard was tempted, but it was still working hours and they had strict rules in the high-end community. He regretfully denied the offer. "Thank you, sir, but I cannot accept this during work hours."

Sheffield looked at the security camera and said, "All right, suit yourself."

"Have a good night, sir, Miss Huo."

As the car slowly moved forward, the guard turned his back to the camera. Sheffield took advantage of the position of the camera and slid the cigarette pack into the guard's hand. He then drove away quickly.

The guard was stunned for a while and stood frozen to the spot.

He slowly realized that the camera might not have caught him at that position, so he swiftly hid the cigarette in his coat pocket and returned to his seat as if nothing had happened.

He also checked the security footage to set his mind at rest.

Evelyn had seen what Sheffield had done. With a raised eyebrow, she asked, "Did you just bribe my security?"

He laughed. "Oh no, I just thought he could use a smoke." Evelyn smirked, but didn't comment any further.

When they arrived at the entrance of the building, Sheffield asked, "Evelyn?"

She was unbuckling her seat belt. She raised her head to look at him, and waited for him to continue.

"Can I kiss you?"

Her eyes almost popped out. "Absolutely not!"

Sheffield laughed, but then quickly held his hand, grimaced, and started blowing on it.

Evelyn frowned. "What happened?" She took his hand to check what had happened.

However, before she could inspect his hand, Sheffield quickly pulled her into his arms and kissed her on the lips.

Evelyn tried to protest, but could only moan into his mouth. 'He tricked me again!'

After a long kiss, he whispered in her ear in a hoarse voice,

"After that amazing kiss, I can't help but think of all the positions we can do it in tonight."

Evelyn blushed and tried to push him away. But he wouldn't let go. "Evelyn, let me come upstairs with you," he said.

"No way!"

"Fine. I'll walk you to your door then."

"Don't bother. Tayson will escort me."

"That is not the same at all!" Sheffield protested. "Tayson is different from me. Besides, if he can come upstairs, so can I."

Evelyn opened the car door and quickly got out. Sheffield followed her out.

He trotted to catch up with her.

Evelyn told Tayson to close the elevator doors before he could get to them.

However, Sheffield ran and squeezed into the elevator. He put on a playful smile. "I can't just leave without ensuring that you are safely in your home."

Evelyn rolled her eyes at him. "Whatever."

When they arrived at Evelyn's apartment, Sheffield tried to enter with her. When she turned around to glare at him, he pulled her into the apartment with him. "I should probably check for any suspicious people inside."

"The only suspicious person here is you! Fuck off!"

Bang! He shut the door behind them.

Staring at the closed door, Tayson shook his head and thought, 'What a shameless man!'

Sheffield pressed Evelyn against the door. He fully intended to use all of the positions he had imagined earlier.

Unable to resist his advances, Evelyn gave in.

But, as they progressed, she stopped him at the last moment. "Wait!"

"What's wrong?" Beads of sweat had formed on his forehead. He didn't want to stop.

She was worried that she would get pregnant again. She really didn't want to go through that trauma once again. She did take her contraceptive pill that morning, but she didn't feel safe. So, she offered, "I'll go buy the condoms."

Sheffield took some condoms out of his pocket and assured her, "Don't worry. I already have them."

Looking at the small packets on his palm, Evelyn asked, "When did you buy them?"
