Take My Breath Away

"I'm relieved to know that. I thought the whole world knew about it. That would have been too embarrassing." Terilynn covered her face with both hands in embarrassment.

Joshua felt sorry for her. Although she was upset, she still pretended not to care. "You know what? You are an amazing woman. It doesn't matter if he doesn't like you. You will meet someone more suitable for you." 'Like me, for example.'

"Thank you. I don't want to talk about him right now."

"Okay, let's not. Do you have classes this afternoon?" He was elated to know that she was single.

"Yes, I have been really busy with my studies lately."

"Do you already have plans for the future?"

"Hmm... I will study further to get my doctorate, and then become a lawyer," she replied after a short pause.

"Have you ever considered being a court judge?" Maybe she could work in the same institution he did.

"I haven't given that much thought. I'm sort of like my mother. I am not fit to be a judge." She was easy-going and free-spirited, and had never been a stately person.

Joshua nodded thoughtfully. "Being a lawyer is awesome. Keep going. I have faith in you."

"Thank you," she said with a soft smile.

After lunch, Joshua drove her to Y City University and didn't leave until she disappeared from his sight.

He had gained all that information from her about Evelyn for Sheffield.

That night, he went to see his best friend. "So, your sister-in-law said that Evelyn has a cute nickname. Her mom calls her Piggy!" He didn't think it was funny when Terilynn had said it. But now, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

But he swore to himself that he would never make fun of Evelyn. He just thought the name was incredibly funny.

Sheffield smiled too when he heard the nickname. He thought it was lovely.

He laughed for a while, and then gave a good beating to Joshua. "How dare you laugh at my woman! Fuck off!"

Joshua punched him back playfully and said, "I'm laughing at my girlfriend! It's none of your business."

Sheffield declared, "You have one day to break up with her. Other

n, get me two more. I am taking Dollie."

"Why do you suddenly want to go to the wine tasting party?" Sheffield had always been a mysterious friend. He continued to pique Joshua's curiosity.

Leaning against the back of the seat, Sheffield said in a casual tone, "I just want to taste some wine, and see the world."

Joshua scoffed. "Bro, you own a considerably large private wine store abroad, and you're telling me that you want to go to some local wine tasting party. You think I am stupid?"

"I do. Let's just go together."

"Fine. Are you sure you want to bring Dollie, and not Evelyn?"

"I'm sure."

"Okay."

In the living room of the Xiang Residence

After hanging up the phone, Dollie looked at the man sitting opposite her. "Dad, that was Sheffield. He wants to take me to the wine tasting party."

Sidell was silent for a moment. "What's he up to? Didn't you say that he didn't like you? So, why is he asking you out?"

"I don't know. It does seem like he cares about Evelyn Huo. But, he still maintains a relationship with me." Sheffield loved Evelyn. Dollie was not blind or stupid; she could tell.

"He is not as simple as we think he is." Sidell was determined to investigate the man.

According to his investigations, Sheffield's parents were business people, and they had died in a car accident ten years ago. Sheffield was left behind. He was an orphan.
