Chapter 854 Desire


    Sheffield was amused by Evelyn''s joke. "Don''t bother. My skin is not that thick; in fact, it''s pretty soft.


    Here, kiss me on the cheek and you will know."


    He drew closer to her.


    Staring at his handsome side face, Evelyn reached out her hand and pinched it hard.


    Sheffield groaned in pain. "Ow, Evelyn! Babe, show some mercy. Please…"


    "Shut up!" Evelyn said angrily.


    He immediately shut his mouth.


    With a snort, Evelyn let go of him and walked towards the bathroom. "One more word and I''ll kick you


    out."


    Gazing at her proud back, Sheffield asked with his hands in his pockets, "Do you really have the heart


    to do that to me?"


    "I do," she replied coldly.


    The doctor chose to keep his silence for the moment, in case she did drive him away.


    Several evening dresses were soon delivered to her room. Sheffield picked out a red conservative


    dress for her.


    When Evelyn walked out of the bathroom, in nothing but a bath towel, she frowned at the dress he had


    chosen. "I don''t want red."


    "Why not?" He thought she would look stunning in it.


    "No reason. Choose another one." Evelyn hadn''t washed her hair; her soft long curls hung down


    loosely, adding to her allure.


    Desire filled Sheffield''s eyes as he stared at her. How much he wanted to take her right then! But


    knowing that she was still angry, he swallowed the desire and picked another dress for her. "How about


    this ck one?"


    Evelyn cast a sideways nce at the dress andmented, "Fine. You may leave now."


    "Eve, let me stay. I will do anything for you," he said with a cheeky grin as he sat down on the bed.


    She observed him carefully and asked, "You will do anything?"


    "Of course. Anything for you," he said firmly and opened his arms to wee her.


    After a short pause, Evelyn said, "All right then. Sit still. If you make any silly moves, I will have you


    disappear from my life."


    "Why do—" he started to say, but stopped when she frowned. "Fine. I hear you." Although he didn''t


    know what her intentions were, he grudgingly agreed.


    Evelyn slowly removed her bath towel, right in front of him, and threw it on his face.


    Her breathtaking beauty turned him on. A hot stream of uncontroble desire coursed through his body.


    He foolishly held the bath towel in his hand and watched the woman slowly change into the ck dress


    in front of him.


    ''Oh Evelyn...You''re so... You look even more attractive than before.''


    In a daze, Sheffield stood up from the bed. Evelyn cast a cold nce at him. Instantly, he sat back


    down on the edge of the bed and grumbled, "Evelyn, you are doing this on purpose." She meant to


    torture him—to turn him on, without allowing him to touch her.


    With a smug smile, Evelyn said, "You''re right. I am doing this on purpose."


    She quickly put on the evening dress, and reached for the zipper at the back. Sheffield stood up from


    the bed again, still holding the bath towel in his hand. "Let me help you with that. Please?" he said


    eagerly.


    With her back to him, Evelyn smiled and said, "Come here."


    Her voice sounded like music to his ears. Without a second''s hesitation, he dashed towards her and


    held her in his arms from behind. When he was about to kiss her cheek, she covered his mouth with


    her hand and ordered, "Zip up the dress."


    "Yes, ma''am." He zipped it up obediently.


    When she was fully dressed and satisfied, Sheffield ran to grab her high-heeled shoes. "Mydy,


    please sit down. Let me help you put on these crystal shoes," he said yfully.


    Evelyn smiled and sat on the edge of the bed.


    He knelt on one knee in front of her and held her foot in his hand. He kissed her foot gently before


    putting on the shoe for her. "Mmm… You taste lovely."


    Evelyn''s heart skipped a beat from his flirtatious words. She blushed and warned, "If you continue to


    talk glibly like this, I''ll kick you out."


    After being warned, the man behaved and put on the other shoe for her.


    Evelyn straightened her dress and walked towards the door.


    Sheffield held her in his arms and urged, "Evelyn, give me a kiss."


    Evelyn raised her left foot, and stomped it on the front end of his leather shoe. She watched as the man


    closed his eyes painfully. She didn''t lift her foot until she was satisfied.


    She left the room with a grin on her face.


    Sheffield sighed helplessly as he watched the woman walk out of his sight like a haughty queen. He


    chose not to go after her.


    Near the stage, Evelyn was quickly surrounded by CEOs of severalpanies, who were waiting to


    exchange words with her.


    A few well-off women stood next to the businessmen, gossiping about fashion and other things. One of


    them asked curiously, "Miss Xiang, is that your boyfriend?"


    "Yes, he is. He bought a bottle of red wine for my dad. He''sing to my ceter tonight to give it to


    my dad personally," said Dollie.


    Her voice wasn''t low. With only the light, soothing music ying in the background, her voice was


    audible within a few meters.


    "Wow, Miss Xiang, your boyfriend is handsome. What does he do?" another woman asked.


    "He is the deputy director of the nephrology department in my father''s hospital. And he''s been working


    on a patenttely." Her voice was full of pride.


    "Amazing! What kind of wine did he pick out for your dad? Is it expensive?"


    "Oh, not at all… It''s just around six hundred thousand dors."


    "Wow! Six hundred thousand? That''s just too extravagant! Is he very rich?"


    Dollie pretended to be modest. "No, he''s not. But he''s always so sweet to me. He has bought me many


    things, all high-end and luxurious gifts. If you ask me, it doesn''t matter if he is rich or not. As long as he


    loves me, that''s more than enough to make me happy."


    "You''re right. But I didn''t think that aside from being so handsome, your boyfriend would be rich as well.


    And he is so sweet to you. I am envious! Is he friends with the son of the Fan family? They were talking


    to each other throughout the party."


    "Yes, Joshua is his best friend."


    "Wow, your boyfriend is friends with the mayor''s son? You have such an amazing guy."


    "Thank you, I''m ttered."


    Evelyn cast a sidelong nce at the group of gossiping women, with mockery in her eyes. ''Is she


    deliberately saying those things so that I would hear them?'' she wondered.

    After an hour, Evelyn went to the bathroom to freshen up. When she walked out, she ran into Sheffield


    and Dollie.


    At first, the two of them were walking separately. But when Sheffield saw Evelyn walking in their


    direction, he quickly put his right arm around Dollie''s shoulders and pulled her closer to him.


    As Evelyn walked closer to them, Dollie''s eyes were filled with tion.


    Sheffield deliberately pushed Dollie a little, knocking her into Evelyn.


    Evelyn staggered and took a step back. She cast a cold nce at the man, who had an evil smile on


    his face.


    ''How childish!'' she sulked.


    When he saw her angry expression, Sheffield thought that she was feeling jealous of his intimacy with


    Dollie. So, he asked proudly, "What? Do you feel threatened now? I can''t help it; I''m popr with


    women."


    Since she didn''t cherish him, he needed to provoke her to make her realize his importance.


    Evelyn shot a nce at Dollie, who was wearing a pink dress, and sneered, "Her? Threaten me?"
