Chapter 947 Can You Forgive Her


    Sheffield could smell the aroma of toast, scrambled eggs and hash browns in the morning. Still in a


    daze, he rubbed his eyes yawning. He could hear someone making breakfast in the kitchen, while a


    cleaningdy was cleaning up the mess in the living room fromst night. "Good morning, sir!" said the


    cleaningdy, as she nodded at him politely.


    Sheffield concealed his puzzlement as he nodded back and awkwardly retreated into the kitchen. Much


    to his surprise, there he was greeted by a chef, not Evelyn.


    He turned around and asked the cleaningdy, "Who asked you toe here?"


    "Ady called in for cleaning services earlier on. I assume she is your wife?" replied the cleaningdy,


    uncertain as to who Evelyn was.


    Since he was wearing matching pajamas, the cleaningdy simply concluded that they were a


    cohabiting couple.


    ''My wife?'' The way she addressed Evelyn made his heart jump with joy. He grinned from ear to ear and


    said, "Okay, thank you!"


    "You are wee, sir!" The cleaningdy continued to sweep the floor.


    Sheffield pushed open the door to the study and saw Evelyn sitting at his desk in her pajamas. Her


    eyes were glued to the screen of theptop and her phone was propped up against her face by her


    shoulder. "I''ll talk to you about thister." When she saw Sheffielde inside, she paused and


    continued, "I''lle to thepanyter. We''ll talk then."


    Putting away her phone, she stood up and pointed to theputer screen. "I was just checking my

    emails on yourputer." There were many things that she couldn''t understand on hisputer.


    Sheffield smiled affectionately and pulled her into his arms. "I thought I was dreamingst night. Turns


    out, you are really here."


    When she recalled how passionate he had beenst night, Evelyn blushed and looked up into his eyes.


    "Actually, I''m here to apologize." Last night, he had apologized to her first, and then she had no chance


    to speak.


    Now, Sheffield deliberately didn''t give Evelyn a chance to speak because he knew what she was going


    to say. He jutted his chin towards hisptop and said, "Are you done?"


    "Yes, I was just going to turn it off."


    "Allow me." Stretching out his arm to close theptop, he walked out with her in his arms and asked, "Is


    the chef cooking breakfast or lunch?" It was almost ten o''clock now.


    "Breakfast." Evelyn didn''t know how to cook, so she called for a chef toe over.


    "Let''s go and eat first!" The couple walked out of the study together.


    Suddenly, Evelyn stopped in her tracks and looked at the man. "I mean it..."


    However, Sheffield didn''t give her the chance to finish. "Let''s eat first. I haven''t eaten anything since


    forgotten about the food Joshua brought over. Added to that, was a passionate night with Evelyn. So all


    things considered, the man wasn''t lying about being famished.


    Evelyn decided to make apromise, taking in a deep breath and adjusting her mood before she


    went to the dining room with him.


    Out of the blue, a thought popped into Sheffield''s mind.


    "I haven''t freshened up yet. Please wait here for a moment. I''ll be right back!" "Okay." Evelyn watched


    him disappear into the bedroom.


    A few minutester, just as he returned to his seat, he was served an enormous tter of food. "Have


    you been craving a good old-fashioned Western breakfast?"


    "Actually I''m runningte. Western food is faster to prepare." In less than half an hour, the chef had


    prepared a simple Western breakfast, served with two cups of freshly ground coffee.


    He nodded, taking a sip of coffee and then put a spoonful of food into his mouth.


    By the time the loving couple had finished their breakfast, the cleaningdy had already cleaned


    Sheffield''s bedroom. Then she took care of the dishes and left the apartment.


    Only the two of them remained in the entire apartment. After Evelyn changed into her work attire, she


    walked up to the closet where Sheffield was picking out clothes. Evelyn handed him a white low-


    necked sweater as she eyed him keenly. He nced at her once and put it on without hesitation.


    She then picked out a pair of ck pants and a red casual coat with red and gray id linings. "Put this


    on. I''ll find you a watch."


    This was the first time Sheffield had worn this red coat since he bought it. However, since Evelyn


    wanted to see him wearing it, he didn''t think twice about it.


    The red coat highlighted his fair skin, making him appear as fair as Evelyn was.


    After getting dressed, they walked out of the walk-in closet, one behind the other.


    Looking at the man putting on a wristwatch in the bedroom, Evelyn said, "Sheffield."


    He turned to her and said, "Yes?"


    "I''m sorry for what happened yesterday. I didn''t mean to." Evelyn desperately needed to get this off her


    chest.


    Sheffield didn''t respond to her immediately. After a brief pause, he curled his lips to her gaze and said,


    "Why must you be so formal with me?"


    Evelyn''s heart sank immediately. His nonchnce made her wonder whether he was just covering up


    his emotions really well or he really didn''t care about it.


    Sheffield was all set, but then, something urred to him. He stopped smiling and asked, "Did I


    apologize to youst night?"


    He could conjure up an image of himself apologizing to her, but he wasn''t sure if it was a dream or not.


    Evelyn nodded and said, "Actually, you don''t have to feel guilty. It was just an ident."


    "The pain you have suffered will be the pain that I will willingly suffer all my life." Sheffield peered into


    her eyes and continued, "I hope that you can talk to me about anything in the future!"


    He knew an apology was not enough for him to make it up to her.


    With a warm smile, Evelyn replied, "Okay."


    "You should probably go to work now. I may not be able to see you often in the next few days.


    Remember to take good care of yourself!" His research and development project hade to a critical


    point, so his presence at the research and development center was of paramount importance.


    His words left Evelyn in a trance. She wondered whether it was truly because he was going to be busy


    with work or he was just mad at her.


    After leaving his apartment, Evelyn got in her car, rolled down the window and told the man standing


    outside the window, "Wait, there''s one more thing."


    Evelyn opened the car door and got out.


    "What''s wrong?"


    "Well, it''s something rted to the Xiang family." After much reluctance, Evelyn weighed out all the


    pros and cons before she spoke.


    She felt ufortable at the moment because she had never helped him in anything and he had never


    asked any help from her before. How could she ask him to make apromise on the Xiang family


    matter?


    The moment he heard her mention the Xiang family, the smile in his eyes disappeared.


    For a while, both of them stood in silence as neither of them said anything to each other.


    Finally, when Evelyn recalled the troubled look on Savannah''s face, she said, "I know I don''t have the


    right to meddle in how you deal with the Xiang family. I don''t care about Sidell. He deserves it. I just


    wanted to ask...if you can be a little...lenient with...Dollie..." She was too embarrassed to continue. "For


    my sake, can you...forgive her? After all, she was just a kid back then."


    Fortunately, Evelyn was only pleading with him instead of other men, because she wouldn''t be able to


    bring herself to do that.
