Chapter 1062 Rich Ladies And Schrs


    Evelynughed. She was amused by Sheffield''s strange logic about love.


    Just as she opened her mouth to counter him, the doorbell rang.


    She looked at Sheffield in confusion. "Are you expecting someone?" She was still in her pajamas since


    she hadn''t left the apartment all day.


    "No. It''s probably just Joshua or Gifford." Sheffield shrugged. Besides Evelyn, only those two would


    But when he opened the door, Sheffield was surprised to see two people he was least expecting to


    Matthew stood outside the door with his usual frown, apanied by a teenage girl. She looked like a


    quick-witted, mischievous girl. Sheffield had never seen her before. He asked Matthew, "Your


    girlfriend?" ''She looks underage. Matthew, you little...'' Sheffield thought in disbelief, staring at the pair.


    Before Matthew could reply, the girl shook her head back and forth in a hurry. "Hello, handsome! No,


    I''m not his girlfriend. We are barely acquainted." She side-nced at Matthew. The most contact she


    had had with him was a year ago when she had gone to America and had to stay at his ce for a few


    days. But even then, they seldom talked to each other.


    She looked away from Matthew, more interested in the handsome man who had opened the door for


    them.


    "Erica?" Evelyn called. She was about to go to the bedroom to change when she heard the girl''s voice


    from the corridor. Confused, she walked towards the door.


    Sheffield moved aside to make way for the guests.


    As soon as they entered the living room, Erica ran into Evelyn''s arms. "Evelyn! I missed you so much!"


    It had been half a year since they hadst met.


    Evelyn was still surprised, but also put her arms around the girl. "It''s really you! When did you arrive in


    Y City?" she beamed. Being around Erica had always been blissful for her.


    "I met Matthew at the airport. He said he wasing to see you. So, I tagged along," Erica said in a


    chirpy voice. When Matthew''s flight touched down at the airport, he was informed that Wesley and ir


    wereing to Y City with Erica as well. So, he had waited for them at the airport.


    "Wow, this is such a pleasant surprise! Well, have a seat. I have to change my clothes. I will be right


    back," Evelyn said.


    Erica nodded, "Okay." Just as Evelyn was about to enter the bedroom, Erica grabbed her arm. Pointing


    to Sheffield, who was talking to Matthew, she asked, "Evelyn, is he...your boyfriend?"


    Evelyn smiled, "Yes."


    "Wow! He''s so handsome!"


    "Thanks. He''s not half bad," Evelyn replied modestly with a chuckle.


    Erica looked admiringly at Sheffield, who was still wearing the white traditional wear and sighed, "No


    wonder richdies during the old times liked those gentle and handsome schrs. If I were you, I


    wouldn''t hesitate to sever ties with my family and elope with such a handsome boyfriend either!"


    She had already heard from her parents that Carlos was about to sever his ties with Evelyn. That was


    the reason why Wesley and ir were back in Y City. As for Erica, she came with her parents because


    she was curious about what was really going on.


    Evelyn was amused by her confession. Matthew had a poker face, as always, while Sheffield cupped


    his hands and said, "Thank you so much for your praise, youngdy."


    Erica promptly replied in a traditional manner, "You''re wee, sir!"


    Evelyn shook her head with a smile and walked towards the bedroom.


    "Honey, wait for me. I should get changed too," Sheffield said. He had nned on performing a


    traditional dance for Evelyn in his costume. But with the arrival of their two unexpected guests, he had


    to postpone the dance to another date.


    They went into the bedroom together, and closed the door.


    Erica looked around the apartment like a curious child, while Matthew sat on the sofa and browsed on


    his phone. Neither of them spoke to each other, just like they had stayed silent on their car ride to the


    apartment.


    They had only taken the same ride because they both were headed to the same ce.


    Sheffield came out of the bedroom first. He went into the kitchen and poured some tea for the guests.


    He waved to Erica. "Erica, right? Come and have some tea."


    She took the cup from him with a sweet smile. "Thank you, handsome. My name is Erica Li. You may


    call me Rika."


    "Cute name. Don''t you have sses to attend, Rika?"


    Since Matthew was a reserved man, Sheffield had to make conversation with the girl by himself.


    "I applied for leave from school. I had to persuade my father for a long time before he finally agreed to


    bring me along." Erica pursed her lips. Wesley was a strict father, so it was difficult for her to go out and


    y anywhere.


    "What grade are you in now?" Sheffield asked, showing interest in her.


    "I''m about to graduate junior high."


    He had guessed it right. She was only in junior high school. "Oh! So, you must have a lot to study. I


    hope you do well."


    "Thank you, handsome! It''s fine though. It''s not that difficult for me." Because she was smart and quick


    to learn anything.


    Sheffield turned to Matthew. "When will you finish your studies in the US?"


    Casting a nce at Sheffield to make sure that he was talking to him, Matthew answered sinctly,


    "Next year."


    "Will you be taking over thepany then?"


    "Not yet. My father is still very young." He meant that he was in no hurry to take over ZL Group.


    Erica cut in, "Uncle Carlos does look young! He doesn''t look like a man in histe fifties. People may


    actually think that he''s in histe forties, at most."


    "He''s sixty-one," Matthew corrected her.


    Erica scowled. ''Why did he have to point it out so precisely?''

    Sheffield nodded, "I agree with Erica. Uncle Carlos does look like he is still in his forties. Someone


    should find out the secret of his eternal youth."


    Although Carlos was already in his sixties, there were still many women who would love to chase after


    him.


    Matthew shifted his gaze from the phone to Sheffield. After a short pause, he asked, "How sloppy are


    you? Why can''t you handle an old man like him?"


    ''Did he just call Carlos Huo an old man?'' Sheffield shook his head with a smirk. "Your father is no


    ordinary old man. You know that."


    "You are not an ordinary man, either. I won''t just sit idly and watch my sister get cut off from our family.


    You areing to the Huo family manor with meter to try every means necessary to get Dad''s


    approval."


    "Sounds like a n, but I have an appointment to keep with Joshua and Gifford this afternoon. Shall we


    go there tonight?"


    "Gifford? You know my brother?" Erica looked at Sheffield in astonishment.


    Only then did Sheffield realize that they had the same surname—Li. "Oh! So, you are Mi—I mean, the


    sister Gifford always talks about?" Sheffield said.


    "You were going to say ''Miss Troublemaker, '' weren''t you?" Erica scoffed. She knew her brother well


    enough to know that much, but she didn''t care. "My brother wouldn''t say anything good about me. I


    know that."


    "I''m sure that Gifford was just exaggerating. You''re a cute girl," Sheffield said sincerely. After all, she


    was only fifteen. It was normal for a girl of her age to be energetic and cause a little trouble here and


    there.


    "Yes, he is definitely exaggerating. In fact, I''m a really nice girl," Erica dered proudly.


    If either Wesley or Gifford were present there at the time, they would have thrown Erica out of the


    room. She was the worst troublemaker they had ever met.


    Sheffield burst intoughter. He was impressed by the girl''s personality. "You''re right. Anyway, I''m going


    to see Gifford this afternoon. Do you want toe with me?" he asked.
