Take My Breath Away

After the ceremony, Evelyn was accompanied by her bridesmaids back to the lounge. After getting some rest, she changed into another gown. She joined her parents, Sheffield and Peterson to offer toasts to the guests.

After a while, Evelyn found a chance to ask Sheffield in a low voice, "Why didn't your stepmother join us to toast the guests?"

"You want her to be here with us?"

"No, not really. I was just curious." Lea acted like she was invisible throughout their wedding day.

"She doesn't deserve to be here," Sheffield scoffed.

"I know Lea is not a pleasant woman, but you don't have to hate her so much," Evelyn tried to soothe him.

"She's just a mistress, honey. You don't have to be nice to her. And don't judge a book by its cover. Lea might seem obedient on the surface, but she is cunning and selfish."

Evelyn sighed, "Okay, if you say so."

Sheffield held her waist and kissed her lips gently. "Let's go, Mrs. Tang. We have to toast our guests together." He had waited for this day for the past three years.

"All right," she said with a shy smile.

If one day, someone asked what Sheffield had done on his wedding night, Joshua would surely answer like this—

"He knelt on a keyboard, begging for forgiveness, the whole night!"

Why, you ask? Because something interesting happened during the toast.

Two tables were reserved for Sheffield's friends among the guests. He and Evelyn walked to the table to toast them.

One of his friends pulled Sheffield aside for a talk. Grabbing the opportunity, Joshua chimed, "Evelyn, I have to tell you something. You should not let Sheffield sleep in the bed tonight."

"Why not?" Evelyn looked at him in confusion.

Joshua clinked his champagne glass with Evelyn's and gulped the liquid down. He put the glass on the table and continued, "This is something that Sheffield told me once, and I'm quoting this word-for-word—'I'll pursue Carlos' daughter and marry her. I will make her serve me, dress me up and cook for me. I will reward her with sweet words if she makes me happy, and I will punish her if she upsets me. That feels so right!' I swear those were his exact words!"

"Hahaha." The men at the table burst into laughter.

Gifford wasted no time. He joined Joshua. "There's one more thing you need to k

go numb. He asked his wife, "Honey, we are going to go on our honeymoon soon. If I hurt my knees here, how can I go shopping with you? Evelyn, I love you, I love you..."

While playing on her phone, she asked casually, "Who was the woman with you last night?"

"What? What woman? I came back here alone after the party last night!" It was already past two in the morning when he came home. He slept for two hours before waking up to get ready for the wedding.

"What about the party? How many women were at the party last night?"

"Seven or eight women, but I didn't go anywhere near them! I swear! Lately, the Tang family has been keeping a close eye on me. They are waiting for me to make a mistake, so that they can come to you with the evidence." Ever since Sheffield had turned against the Tang family the other day, almost everyone in the family hated him more than ever and had sent people to stalk him.

Evelyn squinted at him and asked flatly, "Are you saying that you would have gone with another woman if the Tangs weren't keeping an eye on you?"

"No, no, no! Honey, we're married. I'm a married man. I would never fool around with other women!" His attitude was so sincere.

The corners of Evelyn's mouth raised slowly. She didn't have the heart to be harsh on him anymore. "What if you make some mistake again in the future?" she asked.

"Punish me! Make me serve you well in bed. Don't let me go until I make you moan to your heart's content. What do you think?"

"Get out of here!" She scowled at him.
