"Mom told that you loved eating strawberries since you were three years old, so I bought a box of chocolate-covered strawberries." As soon as Sheffield opened the box of exquisite chocolate-covered strawberries, Gwyn grabbed a strawberry and took a bite out of it in one fell swoop. "Oh, Gwyn! This is Daddy's birthday present for Mommy. You should eat it later."
Everyone burst into laughter at how adorable Gwyn looked in her perplexity.
When she noticed everyone laughing at her, Gwyn looked at the remaining strawberry in her hand with innocent eyes and then said to her father, "What should I do, Daddy?"
Sheffield smiled affectionately, shaking his head to imply that there was nothing to worry about. "Well, it's okay. Just eat it first."
One by one he opened all the gifts he had brought for Evelyn. Each box represented a special mont in her life and the amount of effort Sheffield had put into preparing such an elaborate surprise for her was far more valuable than anything money could ever buy.
The gifts were a token of Sheffield's love and appreciation for Evelyn because he strongly believed that re words would never be enough to express how happy he was to have her in his life.
Evelyn felt her eyes mist and she could no longer hold back her tears anymore.
Terilynn handed a tissue paper to her and said, "Hey, please don't cry. Sheffield loves you very much. You should be happy about it."
Joshua sighed, shaking his head and pretending to be dismayed. "Bro, have so rcy on . If you keep this up, you're going to make look like a bad husband in front of my wife."
Sheffield pulled Evelyn into his arms and patted her back soothingly. Once Evelyn stopped crying, he looked at Joshua and said, "Then you should learn from and give your wife the kind of treatnt she really deserves. Trust , it's the small things that count and make a relationship between two people last forever."
Joshua nodded earnestly and said, "Yeah, you're right." Glancing sheepishly at Terilynn, he said, "Honey, please don't be mad at . I'll learn all about being a romantic husband from Sheffield, I promise!"
"It's okay. I don't think I was blessed with a romantic husband," Terilynn taunted, winking at Evelyn.
Sheffield echoed at once, "You slept like a log on your wedding night. I don't think soone like you will ever learn to beco a romantic man."
Everyone burst into laughter. Joshua's expression was dead serious and he clenched his fist tight, fighting the urge of punching Sheffield in the face.
"Who gave you the right to mock ? Have you forgotten that you were kneeling on a keyboard on your wedding night?"
"Oh and am I
Sheffield felt his chest tighten into a knot, like a cramp. He clutched at his chest as if he was having a heart attack!
The others laughed and made fun of him. "I think it's ti you teach the naughty kid a lesson!"
"No, she's such a good girl! Are you sure you want to scold her? Maybe you can just throw her out of the house and I'll pick her up and take her ho with . Then, she'll be all mine!"
Evelyn looked at Sheffield with a smile, curiously wondering how he would deal with his daughter.
Sheffield raised his hand and as he slowly moved it towards Gwyn's head, the little girl blinked her round eyes innocently and murmured, "Daddy..."
The man's heart lted in an instant, and he ended up patting on his own thigh. "Sweetie, it's okay, but don't do it again."
"Okay." Gwyn nodded ekly.
Evelyn laughed, once again shaking her head in disbelief. Sheffield was clearly a slave for his daughter, after all.
Although Evelyn was doing a lot better right now, ever since she got pregnant again, Sheffield persuaded her to stay in bed most of the ti.
On so occasions, he would allow her to walk around the manor. On most occasions, however, she would just lie in bed and rest.
Carlos and Debbie decided to put a stop on their traveling for the ti being so they could take care of Evelyn and Gwyn.
Sheffield bought a house in a high-end neighborhood, not far from the Huo family's manor. The house was just as Gwyn had asked for—a big one!
It was a four-story villa, about four thousand square ters, fully furnished and equipped with all mod cons, down to crockery and cutlery.
Matthew also bought a house near Sheffield's. Although the renovation of the two houses had begun almost at the sa ti, Matthew's house was only halfway through.
