Sheffield sensed Evelyn's gaze. He turned around and asked, "Do you want to give it a try?"
She nodded.
Sheffield fetched another basket. It had apples, bananas and berries.
"Let help you," he said. He picked up an apple and gave it to her. She took it with her right hand. He then stood behind her, grabbed her right hand and handed the apple to the elephant along with her.
He was so close to her that Evelyn's heart started beating furiously inside her chest. She tried to zero in on feeding the elephant.
The refreshing scent on her hair wafted into Sheffield's nose. Her hand was soft and delicate. He couldn't help planting a gentle kiss on her hair.
They didn't leave the pen until Evelyn was content.
At lunchti, he took her to a restaurant beside a man-made lake. Tayson positioned himself outside the private booth and insisted that they keep the door open. When Evelyn went to the ladies' room, Sheffield went to Tayson. He airily wrapped his arm around the bodyguard's shoulder and said, "Dude, buy yourself so lunch. And stop staring at us while we eat. She needs so space."
Tayson gave him a cold glance. "I'm not hungry."
"We're all human. Humans need food to survive. Don't beat yourself up. Relax. I can protect her." Sheffield removed his arm from Tayson's shoulder and leaned sluggishly against the wall, one knee bent and one hand in his pocket. He carried himself with ease and such calm deanor.
'You can protect her? With what? Your brain?' Tayson thought. And he didn't think Sheffield looked that smart either. "No. It's my job to protect her," he said.
Sheffield found him stubbornly dutiful. "What's your terms to not be the third wheel on our date?"
'Date? When did Miss Huo agree to go out with this guy?' "When you can fight ," Tayson replied.
Sheffield was amused. "I could stab you with a scalpel."
Tayson didn't want to waste more ti on him. "Go away." He decided to go inside the room to find Evelyn.
But scarcely had he moved when soone grabbed hold of his wrist from behind.

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.
To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.
"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."
She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other won.
Eventually she stord off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishnt.
ng for her to finish her al, he had chewed a mint. Now, she could taste it in his mouth.
Evelyn was only the second woman Sheffield had ever kissed.
And she had had four boyfriends to date.
So, this wasn't her first kiss either.
Sheffield was the second man who had kissed her.
Her lips were soft and as sweet as candy. Kissing her felt wonderful, just as he had imagined.
Two minutes passed, and Evelyn pushed him away.
Panting, she stood up from her chair, grabbed her backpack and darted towards the door.
'Uh-oh, I screwed up, ' Sheffield thought warily.
He caught up with her and blocked her way. "Evelina, I'm serious about you," he explained anxiously. He knew that she might not believe him, but he had to let her know.
"I just got out of a relationship. I'm not ready to start a new one. Stay away from ," she said in a frosty tone.
"I was wrong. I was being too forward. Let's just go to the Elephant Valley first. I have chartered a sightseeing car. The driver is waiting for us."
"I don't want to go anywhere with you." Evelyn evaded him and left the room.
Sheffield slapped his head hard, regretting his impatience.
But he wasn't about to give up. If he let her go now, he wouldn't get another chance to be with her.
So, he ran out of the room to chase after her. At the entrance of the restaurant, he caught up to her.
