Chapter 948 I''m So Disappointed In You


    "If you don''t want to let her go, it''s okay." Evelyn took a deep breath. "I can understand. I was just


    asking."


    She regretted as soon as the words left her mouth.


    The thought of Sheffield''s feelings hadn''t even crossed her mind when she opened her mouth.


    Before she could think more about it, Sheffield sent her a carefree smile. "Now that you''ve mentioned, I


    have to agree. If I don''t, I''ll end up humiliating you."


    Evelyn''s heart jumped when she heard his t tone. She knew she had hurt him, but his tone was so


    emotionless that she couldn''t tell what was going on in his mind.


    She nced at him awkwardly. "No, it''s not like that..."


    "You don''t have to exin. If I don''t let Dollie off the hook, wouldn''t I look like a hostile person?"


    Sheffield paused for a while, only to give her a faint smile. "After all, she was only a child back then."


    He despised the phrase "she was just a child" so much that he felt his vomit crawling all the way to his


    throat. Sheffield hated saying it.


    This was when Evelyn was able to sense a touch of irony in his tone, and she panicked. "Sheffield," —


    she grabbed his big hand in a hurry—"it doesn''t matter. I will support you, no matter what." She paused


    and licked her lips in anticipation. "I''m sorry. I shouldn''t have asked. I just feel bad for Savannah. From


    now on, I won''t do anything to cause you more pain."


    His gaze lingered at the intertwined fingers for a long time, and his expressions melted. "Evelyn, you''re


    my love. Of course, I will listen to you." There was a hint of disappointment in his eyes that Evelyn


    didn''t fail to see.


    She was the woman he loved the most.


    He hadn''t doubted the feelings he held in his heart. His eyesight darted in Evelyn''s face. Was he the


    man she loved most?


    After all, she had never said she loved him.


    Evelyn had already guessed what was going on in his heart, and a flush of guilt shed on her pale


    face. She didn''t know what to say. Sheffield sighed and pulled her in his embrace without letting go of


    their intertwined hands.


    "Well, I know what to do, but..." He buried his face in her shoulders. "Evelyn, I''m so disappointed in


    you."


    Still, he would not me her. After all, she was the love of his life.


    It was Sheffield who fell in love with her first. The person who had fallen in love with someone first was

    destined to be humble.


    Evelyn''s heart skipped a beat when she heard his words. She could still hear his warm breath against


    her sensitive skin that made her heart beat faster. "Sheffield," —she was anxious enough to tighten her


    hand that inteced with his fingers, but she didn''t let go of his warm embrace—"I''m sorry. I take my


    words back."


    Sheffield smiled against her skin, and after giving her a gentle squeeze, he took a step back. "It''s okay.


    Get in." His voice was as tender as usual when he let go of her hands only to open the door for her.


    Evelyn''s hands that had been warm a second ago went colder the moment he let her go. Her breath


    quickened at that. She felt as if someone had pinched her heart so terribly that she could feel twists


    and turns of the pain in her chest.


    This was the first time that he had taken the initiative to let go of her hands, even though it was for the


    sake of opening the door. He had never done that in the past, which made her even more anxious.


    She lowered her head and entered the car. Only when she heard him shut the door, she raised her


    head to stare at the retreating figure until he disappeared in the corner of a street.


    Evelyn closed her eyes sadly and covered her eyes with her hands. Why did she have to do that? This


    was the most regretful thing she had done in the past twenty-nine years.


    She didn''t deserve his love at all.


    Sheffield didn''t show up in her office again, and it had been three days. Evelyn was uneasy enough to


    pace most of the time.


    She had a feeling that everything had changed from the day she didn''t go to the airport. The tension


    between her and Sheffield gradually increased.


    Even though Sheffield was gentle to her, things had been different from before. His subtle moves and


    stiffness gave himself away in front of her that day. Still, she was reluctant to ept this aspect, but her


    doubts were confirmed by her anxious heart when he failed to approach her after three days.


    Only when she received a text from him, her heart calmed down. The message made her feel


    embarrassed because of what she was thinking. Of course, she was overthinking. He hadn''t forgotten


    about her yet. Instead, he had been at the research and development center, so busy that he had


    eaten and slept there for the past few days.


    She was replying to Sheffield when another notification popped up showing Savannah''s message.


    "Thank you, Evelyn. The people who have been investigating Dollie withdrew already. Now she is going


    to school again. Her career as a model ispletely ruined, but she can still continue to study. Thank


    you very much!"


    Evelyn stared at the message for a long time.


    When ten days passed by without having Sheffield around, even Carlos felt ufortable.


    It was almost noon. Carlos walked into Evelyn''s office, finding her frowning at herputer. "Evelyn,


    what have you been busy with?"


    Evelyn was stunned by his question and paused her work only to gaze at Carlos for a moment,


    resuming it a secondter. She waved the file in her hand before him. "The cooperation with the Theo


    Group."


    "Okay." Carlos nodded and gazed thoughtfully at the document in her hand. "Don''t you have to go out


    today?"


    Life seemed to be back to normal and peaceful again, but he felt like something was missing.


    Evelyn didn''t even give him a second nce. "No, I don''t need anything right now."


    Sheffield and Evelyn had been to shopping the day before her birthday and got her almost everything


    she needed. Why would she head out only to get something she already had?


    Carlos stayed silent, but he didn''t budge, only to stare at Evelyn with narrowed eyes. Evelyn could feel


    his gaze on her, and when she couldn''t handle it anymore, she put the pen in the file and looked up.


    "Dad, what''s up?"


    "Oh, nothing." Carlos walked silently only to sit opposite her. At first, he pretended to y on his phone


    before clearing his throat to gain her attention. "Where''s that boy, Sheffield? Has he been pestering you


    "No!" Evelyn frowned and cast her curious gaze at him. "He''s been so busytely that he couldn''t find


    time to see me." She paused for a moment to ponder over the reason why her father had been


    worrying about Sheffield so much. "Dad, you don''t need to keep an eye on him all the time." She could


    only think that her dad came here to catch Sheffield.


    "I don''t." Carlos snorted. "What are you thinking about? I''m here to ask you what you want to eat for


    lunch."


    "Well, Dad, you decide. I have canceled the appointment for lunch."


    "You don''t have any appointments for lunch?" Carlos''s ears perked up at that.


    Evelyn sighed helplessly and rubbed her forehead. "No. Dad, what do you want to say?"


    "Nothing." He shrugged. "I''ll have lunch delivered to my office. Remember to have lunch upstairs."


    Carlos stood up and walked towards the door.


    Evelyn swept her gaze at her father''s stubborn back. "Okay, I will."


    In the Y City First General Hospital


    Sheffield was able to catch a breath after two weeks of continuous work. At least he wouldn''t have to


    eat and live in theb anymore. He leaned on the wall only to flip through his phone when his phone


    buzzed. The frown was back on his forehead again. It was from the department director of the hospital.


    "We have got a patient with aplex condition here, and you need toe to the hospital to


    participate in the afternoon''s consultation."


    Sheffield heaved a helpless sigh and went home. He took a shower and changed his clothes before


    hurrying to the hospital.


    When he opened the door to the department, everyone greeted him with a bright smile. The nurses


    saw him again, and their eyes brightened. "Dr. Tang, you''re finally here!"


    "Long time no see, Dr. Tang!"


    Sheffield leaned on the counter. "You really missed me," —he sent a wink at them—"didn''t you?"


    The nurses stared at the flirtatious face for a long time. A hint of blush appeared on their cheeks. Gosh!


    He was so good at flirting. "D-Dr. Tang, are you going to stay in the hospital?" a nurse stuttered.


    By that time, most of the nurses had already recovered their functioning brain. "Yes, Dr. Tang, if we


    don''t see you, we will have no motivation toe to work!"


    Sheffield straightened up and put his hands into the pockets of his white coat. "I''m not sure yet!"


    "Dr. Tang," —a younger nurse paused when her eyes shifted to the pen in his pockets—"your pen


    looks very precious."


    The corners of his lips curved up, and he fondled with the pen. "Of course, this was a gift from my


    beloved woman."


    The nurses didn''t seem to focus much on the tenderness that his voice held the moment they heard his


    words. "What? Your beloved woman?" They stared at the doctor in shock. "So, Dr. Tang has a


    girlfriend?" The young nurse''s face turned gloomy after she heard that the man in front of her was in


    love with someone else.
