Chapter 891: Not Pregnant

Dollie tried to calm herself down as she answered shyly, "Yes. What do you want from my father?"

Upon hearing this, Sheffield eyed her from head to toe this time with great interest. "So you are Miss Xiang? You do know that you've become widely popular, right?"

"You know me?" She couldn't help but feel flattered.

Sheffield gave her a charming smile. "Of course! I've heard so much about you! But I have something important to talk with your father. I'd like to invite you for some drinks next time."

"Okay, then let me take you in first!"

It was the first time that she had met Sheffield, and she was already head over heels for him.

Since then, Dollie always went to the hospital where Sheffield worked as a doctor. When he went to D City, she had planned to go with him but had to cancel as she suddenly received a last-minute job at a fashion show.

Later, she heard that Sheffield and Evelyn had met in D City, much to her regret.

After she came to her senses, Dollie called up Sidell. "Dad, Sheffield's been cold to me recently. He isn't even talking to me..."

Meanwhile, Sheffield hummed as he went back to his office with Dollie's examination results and called Evelyn.

Evelyn had just woken up. She was still sitting in Sheffield's bed, staring at the photo wall in front of her. He had printed all of her photos from their trip to D City and had posted them in his bedroom.

Her thoughts were brought back by the ring of her cellphone. Seeing the caller ID, she blushed. "Hello?"

Sheffield's gentle voice came from the other end of the line. "Babe, you are awake? Or did I wake you up?"

"I woke up before you called." Embarrassed, Evelyn lifted the covers to get out of bed.

"Okay. Remember to have breakfast! Get off work early. Let's go shopping!"

"Well, let's talk about it later," she answered. What if she was too busy to go?

"Fine! I'll send you a message on WeChat. Remember to check it. Bye, mwah!" After that, Sheffield hung up.

Soon, her phone buzzed again when Evelyn had just put on her slippers.

It was a picture sent by Sheffield. It was the results of an ultrasound. Just on the upper right corner of the photo was written a name: Dollie Xiang.

She couldn't understand the photo that much, but it did say that Dollie wasn't pregnant.

'Not pregnant? Doesn't that mean she lied to me?'

A knowing smile slowly formed on Evelyn's face. 'I can't believe him! No wonder he refused to answer me last night. Looks like he just wanted to prove it to me.'

She sent the picture to Carlos and wrote, "Dad, you're getting more and more stupid. You'll get fooled." 'Humph. Dad called me a fool when he should be calling himself that! He was tricked by a measly 20-year-old.'

Ten minutes later, Carlos replied, "Where are you?" He didn't mention anything about the photo she just sent.

Evelyn got flustered when she remembered where she was. "I'm on my way to my office. I just had some business to deal with." She couldn't help herself—she was carried away.

Carlos gave her a long answer. "This only shows that she isn't pregnant, but that doesn't mean that she and Sheffield are innocent. This isn't going to work."

Knowing her dad was a stubborn man, Evelyn replied, "Okay. I'll just have to figure out a way to make you believe him."

"Don't bother. Even if he and Dollie were innocent, I wouldn't allow you to be with him either."

Evelyn was angry. "Bye, Dad!" 'Dad is such a handful. I should have asked Mom to talk to him, ' she thought to herself.

Evelyn was absent-minded all day in her office because Sheffield said they were going to go shopping that evening. When she had a little free time, she couldn't help but look at the door, wondering whether this man would come in any moment as he had done before.

However, before she saw Sheffield, she got a call from him. "Evelyn, your father is serious this time. I don't know how he knew I snuck into the parking lot last night. He arranged several more people to guard the entrance to the parking lot. I'll park my car at the roadside. Can you ask someone to pick me up?"

Evelyn sighed. "Okay. Just keep a low profile." Her father was not at the company this afternoon so Sheffield wouldn't bump into him.

"No problem!"

After parking his car by the roadside, Sheffield took out his baseball cap and put on a pair of dark-tinted sunglasses.

Initially, Evelyn wanted to ask Nadia to pick him up, but she wasn't in the office, so she had no choice but to go by herself.

At the square in front of the company building

As soon as Evelyn walked out of the building, she sighted a man wearing all black. Atop his head was a baseball cap and perched on his nose were dark-tinted sunglasses. He was standing beside the fountain, chewing gum, with a large box of red roses in his arms.

Fortunately, it was getting dark. Although many people kept looking in his direction, they couldn't see his face quite well unless they purposely approached him.

Seeing her come out, the man grinned and trotted towards her with the flowers in his arms. It didn't take long for him to reach her. "Hello there, beautiful. These are exactly 99 red roses that I had shipped from Bulgaria. This symbolizes my eternal love for you. Mwah!" After saying that, he thrust the flowers into her arms and kissed her on her forehead.

Evelyn thought Sheffield was so bold that he dared to kiss her at the company gate. Holding the roses in her arms, she smiled and said, "You give me a present every time you sleep with me. Do you think I'm a prostitute?"

Sheffield widened his eyes in response as he protested, "I swear to God, no! Don't call yourself that. It's just roses! You're overthinking this, Eve."

Evelyn smiled. She turned around and headed for the company. "But you gave me gifts on the second day after we slept together. Did you do that on purpose?"

"Babe, it's just a coincidence. I asked my friend to buy roses from Bulgaria and he arrived last night. What am I supposed to do?"

"Okay, I know. I was just kidding!" Evelyn reluctantly glanced at Sheffield, who was walking behind her.

Sheffield breathed a sigh of relief deliberately and patted his chest. "I was scared to death! I thought you were serious!"

Evelyn giggled.

There weren't many people in the hall on the first floor. Evelyn and Sheffield entered the lift without being spotted.

In the elevator, Sheffield took the roses from her arms and planted a kiss on her lips. "I can't believe you tricked me like that. Now, I want revenge! I'm going to play my own joke on you too!"

Evelyn looked at the camera in the elevator and pushed him away. "Don't do that!"

"What are you afraid of when we're inside the elevator?" Sheffield asked disapprovingly.
