Chapter 1057 The Proposal


    "I don''t care if Gwynes back to the Tang family. As long as shees back to me, of course. And


    who cares if you acknowledge her as your granddaughter? Not me." Sheffield shrugged nonchntly.


    ''What? Damn it! What is he doing?'' Peterson closed his eyes and tried to hold back his anger. "How


    could I not im her as a granddaughter? Bring the kid by someday and we''ll have a proper visit."


    "Yeah, maybe. By the way, I''m getting married. That means you can start working on the wedding


    presents. I think you should know who my girlfriend is. It''s up to you to decide the bride price. But


    remember, we won''t make it if you decide to stiff me."


    Peterson felt his heart sink. He knew Sheffield''s girlfriend was Carlos'' daughter. The Huos were quite


    rich. One could imagine how much money the Tang family would be on the hook for.


    On May 21, Sheffield made another high-profile move. One the whole world would know about.


    Around noon, Evelyn handed a stack of documents to Nadia. "Hand them out now. I won''t be at the


    senior executives'' meeting this afternoon. Remember to mention the year-end bonus."


    "Yes, Miss Huo." Evelyn was nning to go back home and have lunch with her daughter. She did this


    whenever she wasn''t busy.


    She walked out of the elevator with her bag. All of a sudden, she felt something had excited the staff.


    Many employees were saying hello to her while rushing past her eagerly.


    She heard them gossiping. "What''s going on? Is it true?"


    "Of course it''s true. I saw it with my own eyes, so I ran upstairs to tell you guys! But I don''t know who all


    this is for. Those decorations weren''t there this morning, and now, all of a sudden, they''re right


    outside."


    Staring at their retreating figures, Evelyn asked Felix, "Okay, I''ll bite. What''s going on?"


    "You got me. I could ask someone." Felix was waiting by her office. He hadn''t looked outside, so he


    didn''t know what happened.


    "Never mind. Let''s go out and have a look ourselves."


    As soon as they walked out of the building, the first thing Evelyn saw was a long red carpet. On both


    sides of the carpet were red roses in full bloom, which extended all the way to the square in front of the


    office building.


    There were many blue roses in the square. Many pink-packaged choctes were ced next to the


    blue roses, forming the shape of a heart.


    In the center of the square were the words "I LOVE YOU" spelled out with flowers. Petals were


    scattered around the words. Dozens of pink and white balloons swayed in the wind; colorful candy


    boxes in various sizes were ced on both sides of the decorations.


    A crowd had gathered to see the spectacle, and some of them were holding signs with the words


    "Marry me" or "I love you" in their hands. It was quite a sight to see, and the hushed whispers and


    gasps were testament to that.


    Two bodyguards were at the other end of the red carpet. When they saw Evelyn, they walked up to her


    and led her to the red carpet. "Miss Huo, this way please."


    Evelyn''s heart skipped a beat as she looked around. ''Is this Sheffield''s idea again?'' she wondered. She


    asked the bodyguard, "Who did this?"


    "Miss Huo, you''ll know when you get there."


    This was not the first time Evelyn had walked the red carpet. She had attended a lot of parties and had


    been on the red carpet frequently.


    But this time, she was in a very different mood. Her heart started racing when she stopped in the


    middle of the heart shape in the square under everyone''s gaze.


    The air was filled with the fragrance of roses. Evelyn felt like she was in a dream.


    She knew even a thousand roses would not be enough to create such a fantastic effect. It was very


    likely that there were tens of thousands of flowers here.


    "Wow! So this is all for Miss Huo! Mr. Tang must be proposing to her!"


    "I think so. Mr. Tang is so romantic!"


    Hearing their exmations, Evelyn was also excited.


    Just then, three red sports cars came zooming up. The cars stopped in front of the heart shape at the


    same time.


    Immediately after, three men got out of their cars. When the crowd saw clearly their faces, they erupted


    in an uproar. The crowd got louder and louder.


    "Oh my God! He is so handsome! It''s really Mr. Tang!"


    "Evelyn is so lucky! She must be happy!"


    The man who got out of the first car was Joshua in a white suit, the second was Sheffield in a ck


    suit, and the third one was Gifford in his military uniform.


    Three men, three styles.


    With a big bouquet of red and blue roses in his arms, Sheffield walked towards the woman step by


    step, a charming smile adorning his handsome face.


    ''It''s really him!'' Evelyn was happy to see Sheffield.


    He walked to her, flowers in his arms. Not until then did Evelyn notice that the tie he wore was the one


    she had bought him.


    They looked at each other affectionately. He asked softly, "Do you like it?"


    Evelyn choked with sobs, just nodded.


    Sheffield was satisfied with her reaction. With a happy smile on his face, he handed her the bouquet of


    roses. "I thought of giving you some other flowers at first. After all, I''ve given you roses so many times.

    I was afraid you wouldn''t care. But roses symbolize ''I love you.'' That was the best choice. So, I chose


    roses."


    Truly, Evelyn didn''t care what flowers he got her. The most important thing was who gave them to her.


    She took the bouquet from him and said, "I like whatever flowers you give me, Sheffield."


    He caressed her cheeks lovingly. He was really touched that she thought this way.


    The next moment, he took a brocade box from his pocket and got down on one knee in front of


    everyone.


    Evelyn saw thising before Sheffield came here, and it was exactly how she had imagined. But


    when he really did it, she found herself far more excited than she imagined.


    Even though she had been trying to calm herself down, her heart was still beating rapidly, as if it would


    jump out of her chest at any moment.


    Inside the box was the red diamond ring he gave her the other day. Now, under the sunlight, it dazzled


    brilliantly.


    She was a little surprised. "How did you get the ring?" She remembered she had put it in her collection


    room.


    "That''s not the point, Evelyn. Do you know why I chose the red diamond?"


    "Because... it''s rare and expensive?"


    "That''s only one reason. The red diamond represents loyal, unique and long-term love. Evelyn, I was


    wrong the past two years. I owe you an apology. I swear I will never leave you no matter what! Please


    forgive me!"


    Evelyn had forgiven him a long time ago. She was worried Sheffield would still be mad at her. She


    nodded firmly, "Okay. Let''s try to make the future brighter."


    "Yes. So, Miss Evelyn Huo..." Sheffield raised his voice. "It''s every woman''s dream to wear a wedding


    dress and every man''s dream to marry the one he loves. Evelyn, you''re my angel, the one I love the


    most in my life. Will you fulfill my wish? Will you marry me and let me buy you the perfect wedding


    gown?"


    Evelyn raised her head to look at the sky, trying to hold back her tears. It was then that she saw the


    LED screens of the office buildings around the square, which were used to disy differentmercial


    advertisements. But now, all the LED screens contained the same words: "Evelyn Huo, please marry


    me!"
