Take My Breath Away

'I was just a plaything in bed for her, a casual lover, perhaps.' Evelyn's heart twisted in pain at what Sheffield said.

Even though they had been together for such a long time, they'd never really established their relationship. She wasn't even his girlfriend.

At that moment, she was heartbroken.

Sheffield looked at Calvert and said, "From now on, you need to take good care of her. She is very choosy about what she eats. She likes dried plums, mangoes, truffles, and milk. She only drinks the milk manufactured by ZL Group. She likes seafood such as fish and crabs. But she doesn't like shellfish, cheese, egg yolk..."

Evelyn's heart ached as she listened to his words. Her eyes were blurred by tears.

"She's a clean freak just like me. But you can't let her do the housework—neither cleaning nor doing the laundry. After all, you need to take care of her and not the other way around. She doesn't like talking. She's a bit aloof but only on the surface. On the inside, she's kind and gentle. You just need to get her to trust you. She's absolutely adorable, and it doesn't take much to get her to laugh..."

"Oh, stop it, Sheffield..." Evelyn covered her mouth, trying her best not to cry out loud.

With a doting smile, Sheffield reached out and wiped her tears gently. "Why are you crying? Today's a good day. You're overthinking this."

Then he turned to Calvert again. "She likes her freedom. You should take time out of your busy schedule to go shopping with her every now and then. She doesn't like trying on clothes in clothing stores, so you should buy them all and let her try them on at home.

She works late most of the time. Whenever that happens, she can get really hungry so you should drop by her office with food. Don't ask your assistant to do that for you. You need to do it yourself to show your sincerity.

Her bodyguard, Tayson, used to have feelings for her. Luckily, he has gone back to his hometown to get married. Although she has a new bodyguard, I don't know much about him yet, so you have to protect her too. After all, with her status, it's not hard to believe that some people would want to hurt her."

Ignoring Evelyn's sobbing, Sheffield turned serious as he added, "You have to keep h

ed to be with another man, ' he finished in his mind.

Evelyn stood there in a daze, listening to him pour out his feelings.

Sheffield didn't really want to let this all out, but if he didn't, she would go on with her life without facing her true feelings. "Did you ever think what it was like for me? When I saw you in the hospital, you have no idea what I felt then. You should've told me the truth, but you didn't. You even stayed away from me. Evelyn, you're so unfair to me."

Sheffield had asked himself these questions so many times: If Evelyn hadn't suffered from the ectopic pregnancy, would Carlos have treated him differently? Would he have accepted him? Would they have lived happily ever after? Would they have gotten married? Would they have had a marriage that was blessed with support and love from their families?

However, the bitter truth was that Carlos had never approved of Evelyn and Sheffield's relationship. It was as if Carlos had turned hating Sheffield into his hobby. Even though he knew that what happened with Evelyn was an accident, he still chose to blame it on Sheffield.

Still, he blamed neither Carlos nor Evelyn. He figured maybe he just wasn't good enough and Evelyn just didn't love him enough.

"Just this once, be brave and fight for what you want. Evelyn, did you ever fight for our love? Even just once?"

'Did I fight for our love? I don't know... Maybe not. Because if I did, then why am I second-guessing myself?' she thought bitterly.
