Take My Breath Away

The reporter gave Gwyn a smile that seemed genuinely sweet and he said, "Hey there, little girl. Aren't you a cutie! Can you tell me the name of your mommy?"

Gwyn blinked, a little confused by the sudden change in conversation, but quickly nodded. "My mommy is... Evelyn Huo."

"And what about your daddy?"

The man's line of questioning caught Terilynn's attention, but before she could stop Gwyn from responding, the innocent little girl unknowingly blurted out the name. "Sheffield!"

Suddenly, Terilynn's attention was distracted. This time it was a call from Sheffield. "Hello, Terilynn, where are you and Gwyn right now?"

"We are at the aquarium. We're just waiting for Joshua to get the car so we can head back home."

"Okay, listen to me very carefully. Someone leaked Gwyn's photos on the Internet. Bring her back home right now and don't go anywhere else." Sheffield was worried as he didn't want them to get mobbed by gossip-mongering reporters.

"What? What did you say?" Staring at the man who was still trying to talk to Gwyn, Terilynn instinctively realized that he was a journalist!

"Bennett!" As she picked up Gwyn in her arms, she shouted at the bodyguard standing next to her, "Don't let him get away!"

The sly reporter was quick to react and would have almost escaped if Bennett hadn't caught him in the nick of time. The experienced bodyguard did well to subdue the man with haste and ease.

"What happened? Terilynn?" Sheffield screamed, alarmed by the noise on the other end.

"Sheffield, we ran into a reporter, but Bennett got him. We will bring Gwyn back home right away!"

"Okay. Be quick. Call me if anything happens."

Bennett found a digital voice recorder pen inside the reporter's pocket, and sure enough, his conversation with Gwyn had been recorded.

Terilynn was so angry that she threw the recorder pen on the ground and stomped on it a few times, crushing it under the sole of her shoes. After she made certain that it was broken, she picked up the broken pieces and threw them in a nearby trash can. With cold, rigid eyes narrowed, she gave the reporter a solemn warning and walked away with Gwyn in her arms.

Just as soon as Sheffield ended the call, his cellphone rang. It was Evelyn. "Have you read the news?"

"Yes. Don't worry about it. I'll take care of everything. Where are you now?" The first person Sheffield called was Terilynn because he found out from Carlos that she was with Gwyn.

Carlos still maintained a degree of seriousness in front of the cameras, but his tone was soft as he spoke. "Actually, I've been thinking about apologizing to Evelyn. As her father, I should have never intervened in her relationship with Sheffield. I had a very good opinion of the son of the Ji family at the very beginning. So, after she and Calvert broke up, I insisted on bringing them back together. Evelyn remained filial and she chose to listen to me."

He paused as if he saw Evelyn from the camera. "Evelyn, I'm sorry. I'm sorry for what I did to you and Sheffield," he apologized.

The reporter cut in, "Mr. Huo, you did what any loving father would do for his daughter's happiness. From what you've said, she sounds like a kind and reasonable person, I'm sure she will understand you."

The guilt in Carlos' eyes was undeniable. "When Evelyn got pregnant, none of us knew about it. Even she herself didn't know. Sheffield loved Evelyn very much and he tried to get my approval many times, but I didn't allow it. Heartbroken, Sheffield left for D City to offer medical support. That was the same place where he had met Evelyn for the first time. Meanwhile, Evelyn was engaged to Calvert. After Calvert's relationship with his stepsister was exposed to the public, Evelyn and Calvert broke off their engagement. When she left for D City to bring Sheffield back, she found out that she was pregnant. Due to health concerns, she had to return halfway and after that, she lost contact with Sheffield. It was not until when Sheffield came back to take his place as the CEO of Theo Group, that he found out about his daughter—Gwyn."
