Chapter 928 Savannah
''What if I can''t get in touch with Sheffield today?'' Evelyn thought to herself, flustered. He had told her
he would be avable for her birthday.
At noon, the Huo family had a wonderful lunch with their family friends in a fancy hotel restaurant. The
guests were primarily the families of Curtis, Dixon and Damon.
Carlos picked up Miranda and they arrived at the vi at six o''clock in the evening. Calvert came in
shortly after with a bouquet of flowers cradled in the crook of his left arm and an expensive bottle of
wine in the other. However, Sheffield''s phone was still switched off.
About ten minutester, Joshua rang the doorbell carrying his gift in a simple paper bag, tied with one
big red ribbon. The moment Evelyn opened the door, the first thing she asked him was, "Have you
seen him?"
Joshua knew who she was talking about without further boration needed. He shook his head and
replied, "No."
"Can you get in touch with him?"
"I can try, but if Sheffield doesn''t want to be found, no one can get in touch with him."
Joshua was speaking the truth. However, Evelyn''s heart ached, and there was a pit in her stomach
because she was so nervous. ''That''s true. Once he disappears, even I can''t get in touch with him, '' she
thought bitterly.
At half past six, a servant came in to report, "Miss Huo, there''s ady waiting outside for you. She says
she''s an old friend of yours and she''s here to celebrate your birthday."
''Ady? My friend? Could it be...?'' Evelyn was taken by curiosity. "Where is she now?" she asked
immediately.
"At the doorway."
''At the doorway?'' Evelyn was more convinced of her assumption as she ran to the door and opened it.
The person standing outside was exactly the same person Evelyn had in mind.
The woman was dressed in a light green coat, a beryl hat and a white scarf. She was sitting in a
wheelchair with a smile on her face. With a smile that could warm any heart, she reached out one hand
to give Evelyn a neatly wrapped package and said, "Happy Birthday!"
The familiar voice drew out Evelyn''s smile as she knelt down and hugged the girl sitting in the
wheelchair. "Savannah..." she sighed heavily, seemingly relieved. Evelyn had missed her very much.
Savannah patted Evelyn on the back as her eyes shimmered brightly against the light. "It''s been a
while and I must say, I''ve missed you a lot!" she said.
A gust of cold wind blew over as Evelyn let go of her. She stood up, taking a deep breath, walked
behind her and pushed her wheelchair forward. "Come on in. Let''s talk inside."
Savannah turned her head around to look over her shoulder and said, "Evelyn, you''ve be more
beautiful than I had expected. I''ve seen your photos, but you look even more stunning in person."
Evelyn smiled, cheeks blushing pink, and said, "You look amazing too! When did you get back? You
should have told me before, I would have gone to pick you up!"
"But then I wouldn''t get to see that look on your face! Don''t worry, your father sent someone to pick me
up at the airport. He wanted to give you a surprise! So, are you surprised to see me, Evelyn?"
"Of course, I am! I''m having a hard time believing it, to tell you the truth." It had been almost two years
since thest time Evelyn and Savannah saw each other.
The Huos weed Savannah with open arms in the living room. "It''s so good to see you, Uncle
Carlos, Aunt Debbie, Terilynn and Matthew!" she greeted them politely.
Carlos smiled and nodded his head. Debbie walked up to her, stroked her hair and said, "Hi, darling.
I''m so happy that you could be here for Evelyn''s birthday party."
Terilynn greeted her with a hug. "Wee to our home, Savannah."
"Wee," said Matthew.
Savannah was moved to joy by their hospitality. "Thank you! I am honored to be here." Indeed, it was
her honor to have such a good friend like Evelyn in her life.
"Don''t be so formal with us. Come, we were just about to have dinner." Debbie took her to the dinner
table.
Only then did Savannah see Calvert and Joshua engaged in a light conversation. Evelyn got their
attention and said, "Savannah, this is Joshua, the youngest son of the mayor. Joshua, this is my good
friend, Savannah."
Joshua stood up and greeted her politely, "Hello, nice to meet you, Savannah!"
"Nice to meet you too, Joshua." Savannah gave him a smile.
When it was her turn to introduce Calvert, Evelyn paused for a while and simply said, "Savannah, this
is Calvert. Calvert, this is my good friend, Savannah."
Savannah knew that Calvert was Evelyn''s ex-boyfriend, but she did not know the whole story. Seeing
him at her birthday party, she mistakenly thought that they were back together. "Oh, I saw his pictures
on the Inte. He is very handsome! Calvert, please be nice to Evelyn."
Calvert let out a slight cough, not knowing how to respond to that statement. Then, he simply said,
"Thank you. Don''t worry. I''ll be nice to her."
Evelyn''s lips twitched but she didn''t respond. Fortunately, Debbie came to the rescue and said, "Dinner
is about to begin. Matthew, please go upstairs and ask your grandma toe down."
"Okay," replied Matthew before he walked up the stairs.
Everyone was finally seated at the dinner table, ready to begin, when suddenly, the doorbell rang.
Looking at each other in confusion, everyone but Debbie wondered who could it be as all the expected
guests were already there.
Debbie stood up excitedly and said, "By the way, I invited a special guest. I think that''s him. I''ll open the
door."
Even Carlos himself didn''t know who was standing outside the door. While the people whispered
amongst themselves wondering who Debbie''s guest was, a familiar figure appeared in the living room.
The man was dressed more formally than usual. He was wearing a ck half-long overcoat, on top of
an exquisitely tailored white shirt. The cor of his shirt was embroidered with small letters, and he was
wearing a red silk and wool mixed tie.
His ck trousers were casual, nothing too fancy, but fashionably coupled with a pair of dark brown
leather shoes.
Both his wristwatch and belt were limited edition items designed by a world-famous brand owned by ZL
Group. The manner in which he dressed himself spoke about his personality: formal and lively.
The man had a bouquet of 99 red roses in his arms. Some yellow roses were arranged in an orderly
way that read three words—"I love you."
The moment everyoneid eyes on him, the room was filled with startled gasps.
Evelyn''s eyes shot up in joy, and she was too excited to care about the fact that Calvert was sitting right
next to her. The moment her eyes met Sheffield''s, the affection in her heart poured out of her silent
expression.
Debbie''s usual carefree and innocent nature was the reason why she didn''t notice a change in the
atmosphere. She looked very happy to introduce Sheffield to the others. She dragged him forward by
his hand and said, "Sheffield,e here." She introduced the doctor to her family with great interest.
"Mom, Carlos, this is Sheffield Tang. He''s a doctor at the Y City First General Hospital. Don''t let his
looks fool you; he is actually very good at what he does."
Following Debbie''s words, Sheffield greeted them more enthusiastically. "Hello, Grandma Miranda,
Uncle Carlos, Evelyn, Terilynn, and Matthew. It''s nice to finally meet you all. I''m Sheffield Tang. Thank
you all for weing me to Evelyn''s birthday party." Most of the people sitting at the table were
Evelyn''s family, so Sheffield tried his best to make a good impression on them.
Despite her silver hair, Miranda, who was in her eighties, decided to dress young and she did so
sessfully. By some miracle, she managed to pull off looking like someone in their fifties. Miranda
couldn''t be happier in this moment. Her children and grandchildren were all present and in good health.

Her life was a series of family dinners and vacations—something she was grateful to have. The happy
life she had made her heart soft, unlike when she was young. The years had made her a more kind
and loving person.
She looked the young man up and down with a smile on her face, and finally nodded with satisfaction.
"My, my, you don''t get to see such a handsome young man nowadays!" She waspletely taken by
his bubbly personality. In fact, deep down, she was already entertaining the idea of weing him to
the family.
This was a phenomenon that was seldom seen in the Huo family.
