"Thank you, Eve." Sheffield was touched by her words.
He didn't expect Evelyn to leave her family for him. She had done so much for him already. She had even given birth to a beautiful baby for him. What else could he ask for?
"What for?" she asked. All she wanted was to be with him. She didn't want to lose him again.
He didn't say anything. They sat in the bath for a while, and then he said, "Gifford, Joshua and I are going to play mahjong tomorrow, and we need a fourth player. Would you like to join us?"
Since Gifford had not been busy lately, the three men had time on their hands to hang out together.
She teased him deliberately, "I better join, just in case you invite some other woman to play with you in my absence."
Knowing that she was joking, he smiled and asked, "Do you know how to play mahjong?"
"I don't." She had never played before, but had seen others play. She didn't think there was any need to learn until now.
"I will teach you tomorrow."
"Okay."
After a few more minutes of cuddling in the bath, they came out of the bathroom and jumped straight into bed. Just as Sheffield was about to get on top of Evelyn, her phone rang, interrupting their romantic moment.
Sheffield groaned in anger. "Who is that?" he spat.
Evelyn cast a casual glance at her phone and answered, "It's Matthew."
Sheffield felt like punching Matthew in the face for his horrible timing. "Why is he calling at this hour?"
Evelyn, unlike Sheffield, was grateful for the call from Matthew. All Sheffield wanted to do was hug her all day and have sex 24/7. He was too clingy.
"Hi Matthew, what's up?" Evelyn asked, picking up the call, ignoring Sheffield's protests.
"Evelyn, did you hear from Mom?" he asked.
"No. Why?"
"She is planning to run away from home again."
'This again?' Evelyn thought. She was calm despite the news. "You know Mom. It's nothing new." 'She must have heard that Dad is going to break all ties with me. She is probably just throwing a tantrum at him, ' she thought.
"I don't know. She was really angry when she called me and was crying too. She said that Dad was talking about breaking ties with you, and that she didn't want to see him anymore. She's going to run away to the US, and asked me to pick her up."
"Should I go
hair was tied up with a snow-white ribbon. He looked charming in it.
And when he smiled at her, he looked more handsome than ever.
Sheffield stood in front of her and twirled once. It was then that Evelyn remembered the boy she had met a long time ago. She blurted out, "Sheffield, have you worn an ancient costume before?"
"Hmm, yes. It was almost ten years back, my friend had held a cosplay party and asked me to help him."
Evelyn's heart skipped a beat. "Was the party held in a mall?"
"No, but we did go to a nearby shopping mall to eat. Why? What's wrong?" Sheffield asked doubtfully.
'It was him! Wow! We had met so long ago.' She laughed and when she saw the confused look on his face, she explained, "I once saw a boy in a white traditional costume like this in a shopping mall. Although I only saw him from behind, I was kind of attracted to him somehow."
Women always paid attention to beautiful things. She was no exception.
Although she had to leave without seeing his face, the boy in white stayed in her heart for several days.
Sheffield's eyes lit up. "Eve, are you saying that you met me a decade ago?"
Evelyn didn't deny it. "Yes."
He ran over to hug her, exclaiming exaggeratedly, "Eve! We are destined to be together!"
"What? I only saw you from behind, Sheffield. It's not much of a destiny, is it?" she asked, amused by his enthusiasm.
"Haven't you heard about the Law of Attraction? You've been obsessed with my back for so long. That's why I found you!" he said excitedly.
