Take My Breath Away

"Yes," Sheffield admitted honestly. His uncomfortable fidgeting was an implication that he wasn't too keen on talking about Gillian, and he tried to sidestep the topic.

However, Evelyn wasn't going to let him slip away so easily. She raised an eyebrow, feigning curiosity and said, "Please tell me more about your romantic stories from when you were in school!"

"Romantic stories? I wasn't that popular to be honest. In fact, I don't have any romantic stories from school. Admittedly, my relationship with her may have been close, but I don't think I was ever in love with her. But if I had known that I would meet someone like you in the future, I wouldn't have gotten close to any of those women in the first place." In hindsight, their love story would have gone a lot smoother, but everything in life that was ever worth having, was worth every bit of the hardship.

Evelyn curled her lips. "Well, I have good news for you. You now have a thousand chances to make it up to me."

"Then, are you happy now?"

"Of course I am!" Although she knew that he was just coaxing her, Evelyn was still very happy, deep down.

"That's good!"

Hand in hand, they took a walk around the campus, appreciating every second of this wonderful moment they were sharing together. Evelyn listened to him attentively as he told her all about his past life. When Sheffield mentioned his classmates, he would pretend to be annoyed and tell her how all the girls in his school tried to woo him back then.

Sheffield also took her to see the stadium, where he ran with her on his back on the basketball court.

Time flew wondrously when they were together, never having to deal with work or the other trifles of life. Their journey together as a couple was one filled with joy and love.

Right after they got back to Y City, the two of them went to the Temple of Dharma first instead of heading back home.

Facing the statue of Buddha, Sheffield asked the woman beside him, "Do you remember the wish you made two and a half years ago?"

Looking at the Buddha statue, Evelyn said softly, "Yes, I do."

"Has your wish come true? Anyway, my wish has come true!" he said.

She gently hooked onto his finger with her pinky and smiled. "My wish has come true, too."

Sheffield smiled happily. "So we are here to redeem our wishes." When Sheffield had made that wish a few years ago, he wished for life where he and Evelyn would be together until the end. The reason why he had come here was to redeem his wish as well as reminisce about the happy times he had spent with Evelyn.

"Yes!" Evely

elyn didn't have to worry about anything because Sheffield had already picked out the best gifts for them.

Debbie was thrilled to have such a good son-in-law. "All right. I'll take them all. Thank you, Sheffield."

"Mom, you are welcome!" He took out a small box and gave it to Gwyn. "My baby girl, here's your present. I'll open it for you!"

Sheffield undid the silver paper cautiously, opened a red leather case, and displayed a pink musical box. When he slowly opened the box, a tiny ballerina figurine danced in the center, swaying to the gentle tune.

Gwyn held the box in awe and gazed at it for a long time.

No one had ever bought her a musical box before. This was the first time she had seen something like this, and it had come from her father.

In truth, there was a diamond pendant in the shape of a violin fitted with the musical box, but since it wasn't suitable for a baby girl to play with, Sheffield gave it to Evelyn.

Just then, Tobias walked in with three suitcases in his hands.

Sheffield rushed to help him put down the suitcases because he pitied Tobias. These heavy suitcases were, in fact, all filled with mostly gifts Sheffield had bought for the others.

The honeymoon was officially over. The couple went to their room at night with Gwyn, and finally the family of three slept together.

When the next day came, Evelyn and Sheffield had to focus their attention towards their work. Fortunately, Evelyn had Carlos to share her work with, but Sheffield was busy every day.

He was either in the company dealing with documents, or at business dinners.

The Tang family members who had been trying to get back at Sheffield took the chance to approach Evelyn and snitch on him.
