Chapter 966 Evelyn Tang


    Terilynn touched one of her cheeks.


    She swept her eyes at the phone. Her heart thudded against her chest when she was typing a reply to


    Joshua. "Then I''ll keep this in mind."


    Terilynn had to wait ten minutes for the notification. When a message popped up, her eyes lit up seeing


    Joshua had sent her a voice message. "Terilynn, do you have time now? I just finished dinner with my


    friends and saw someone setting off fireworks. It''s very lively here. Would you like to join us?"


    ''Fireworks?'' She repeated the word in her heart.


    They could only be set off in a designated area in recent years, so Terilynn rarely saw fireworks. When


    Joshua suggested enjoying them together, her heart was moved. But... "I don''t know if my father will


    agree to let me out."


    In an instant, another voice message appeared. "Ask your mom for this!"


    Her eyes lit up, and sheughed at herself. Why didn''t she think of that? Her mother would agree! She


    jumped out of bed in a hurry, and she was nearly at the door when a thought shed in her mind,


    making her frown. How should she go there? She didn''t have her driving license with her.


    With a gloomy face, Terilynn sat back on her bed and started typing. "Well, forget it. I left my driving


    license at college."


    "Don''t worry about that. Since I didn''t drink, I can pick you up. Wait for me at the gate of your manor." A


    voice message came that raised her hopes again, and a wide grin spread across her face.


    Her eyes were brightened again. "Great!" Terilynn stood up and sat before her dressing table, carefully


    observing her face. She took out her cosmetics and put on light make-up. With her flexible fingers, she


    used a thinyer of an orange lip gloss.


    She walked over to the closet and picked a brand-new pink overcoat. Her eyes swept on a white scarf


    and wrapped it around her neck after a moment of hesitation.


    Terilynn hung a small purse around her shoulders and hurried downstairs with her mobile phone in


    hand.


    At first, she thought she could easily deal with it, but when her eyes slipped on the elders sitting in the


    living room, her movements slowed. No matter what, she didn''t want Carlos to notice her. She lowered


    her head and headed toward the door. But how could Carlos not notice the small movements of his


    daughter? He narrowed his eyes at the girl dressed in a new coat and frowned. "Where do you think


    you are going? It''s alreadyte."


    Terilynn pressed her lips in a thin line. Now she was done, and her father wouldn''t give her a chance.


    She cast a nce full of expectations toward Miranda and Debbie. "Grandma, Mom, my friend invited


    me. Don''t worry. I''ll be back soon."


    It was only past seven in the evening, and Debbie wanted her to go out and have fun. She just smiled


    at Terilynn. "Are you going to drive yourself? Or do you want to go with the driver?"


    Terilynn sensed hope. "I left my driving license at college. My friend said he would pick me up. I''ll just


    wait at the gate."


    Just when Terilynn was waiting for her mom to give her consent, Carlos'' sharp and icy voice rang


    again. "Which friend are you talking about? Do I know this person? Where is he taking you?"


    Terilynn shut her eyes closed. Why wouldn''t her dad stop interrogating her as if she were a criminal?


    She took a deep breath and swept her gaze at him. "Just a friend. There will be others too. You don''t


    know him. Dad, stop asking!" Even her grandmother and her mother wouldn''t ask so many questions.


    Thankfully, Terilynn had the support of the two powerfuldies in her family. With their help, she was


    able to ignore her father''s questions.


    Her father didn''t give her and her sister freedom to mingle with anyone easily, especially men. Although


    she knew her father only wanted the best for them, she still longed to go out without any restriction.


    Carlos scoffed, "Why, can''t I even ask you now? Each of you thinks you have grown up and don''t need


    your parents anymore!" Sadness cast over Carlos'' eyes in a sh.


    Miranda ignored Carlos and waved at Terilynn. "Go ahead. You better take Bet with you because


    it''s toote. Or else, we''ll be worried."


    Terilynn said with glee, "Thank you, Grandma! Thank you, Mom." She nced at Carlos. "Bye, Dad."


    The girl left the living room and her ponytail swung as she rushed at the door.


    Terilynn walked towards the gate of the manor while ying with her mobile phone. Behind her,


    Bet drove the car, following her close. Just as she reached the main gate, a honk sound gained her


    attention. Her eyes shone brightly. Joshua was standing in front of the passenger seat door, smiling at


    her.


    Terilynn''s mouth curved up to form a grin, and she ran toward Joshua.


    He opened the passenger door and gave her a paper cup. "Here, have some hot milk."


    "Thank you!" Terilynn took the milk and sat in the car.


    Joshua took the driver''s seat and buckled the seat belt. That was when Terilynn turned to him. "I didn''t


    expect you to get here so soon." She had supposed it would take him at least twenty minutes to get


    there.


    "I was nearby."


    "Oh!" It made sense.


    At home, since the sisters were out, Matthew chose to apany the elders. But instead of watching


    TV, he preferred to y on his phone.

    Evelyn and Sheffield headed downtown after they left the manor.


    "Would you like to go to the theaters with me? A new movie was released today," he asked. It wasn''t


    like he was serious about watching the movie. In the theater, they would get plenty of opportunities to


    spend quality time with each other.


    Evelyn cast him a thoughtful nce. She had hardly been to the cinema before. "Sure."


    The cinema was filled with people and Sheffield could see a long line of customers outside the ticket


    counter. He wasn''t worried, though. They were already an hour early. It took them half an hour to get


    their tickets, but they still had thirty minutes more to spend.


    Since there was a long line to get the normal tickets, Sheffield had decided to go for the VVIP theater,


    which was a bit more expensive. That was how he was able to save time.


    Several individuals took their seats to wait for the movie to start, but Sheffield didn''t have that kind of


    patience. He decided to take Evelyn to the shopping mall downstairs to kill the time.


    Before they could step on the esctor, a small voice rang in his ears. "Sheffield."


    Sheffield turned back. Evelyn''s eyes also followed the voice, and she saw two women standing about


    two meters away from them. The woman on the left was wearing a blue jacket, and the other had a


    short grey id overcoat over her body. Both of them looked stunning.


    No matter how thesedies would dress up, Evelyn wouldn''t fail to recognize one of them. Wasn''t that


    the woman she had seen in the photo that Calvert sent her?


    Evelyn cast Sheffield a confused nce only to find him nodding at Gillian indifferently. "Hello." His


    voice was cold and aloof.


    Gillian walked elegantly towards them with one arm hooked in her friend''s hand. She smiled at Evelyn


    and turned toward Sheffield. "Are you here to watch a movie?" A momentary nce of Gillian was


    swept at Evelyn. "Sheffield, who is this?"


    Sheffield tightened his grip on Evelyn''s hand and pulled her into his arms. "This is my wife, Mrs. Tang."


    He turned to look at Evelyn and his eyes softened. "Honey, this is my old ssmate, Gillian Chi."


    Evelyn had a strong aura around her that made her look unapproachable and dignified. Her light tan


    overcoat and a pair of ck high boots made her look even more elegant.


    She nodded with a smile on her face. "Nice to meet you, Miss Chi."


    Gillian narrowed her eyes at Evelyn. As a person who was always pursuing brand products, Gillian


    could tell at a nce that the price of Evelyn''s outfit was enough for her to buy several sets of her own.


    She wondered if Sheffield had bought these clothes for Evelyn.


    Her gaze was fixed on Evelyn. The longer Gillian noticed how beautiful Evelyn looked with her figure


    and skin tone, the more Gillian became jealous.


    She had a habit of looking down upon people. Gillian would think everyone in front of her was inferior to


    her. In that case, few people had the capability to make her jealous to this extent.


    Initially, she was confident that she could beat Sheffield''s girlfriend before meeting Evelyn face-to-face.


    But now, the situation was worse than what she had imagined. For the first time in a longer while,


    Gillian felt inferior.


    "Nice to meet you too." Gillian forced a smile and turned toward Sheffield. "Why don''t you tell us your


    girlfriend''s name? Maybe we can be friends since we live in the same city."


    Sheffield smiled as well. "No problem. Let me start over. This is my wife, Evelyn Tang."
