"Oh!" Evelyn didn't give it much thought, nor did she have the mood to care about who Debbie was having dinner with. The situation between her and Sheffield was still in a deadlock. "I'm going upstairs," she said to Carlos.
"Good night, honey."
"Good night, Dad."
Evelyn went upstairs to her bedroom while Carlos carried on working in the living room.
anwhile, at the homade cuisine restaurant, Sheffield and Debbie were having a great ti. Sheffield ordered a full table of dishes, obviously to impress Debbie. Fortunately, that worked out in his favor as she always had a big appetite.
After a while, Debbie hurled the question she had been aning to ask him. "Do you have a girlfriend, Sheffield?"
The answer to that question wasn't going to be a straightforward one for Sheffield. He struggled to co up with the right answer because if he said that he didn't have a girlfriend, then what was Evelyn to him? However, if he told Debbie the truth, he would risk being misunderstood by her. "Mrs. Huo, are you trying to set up with soone?"
"Yes, you are right. To tell you the truth, I want to introduce my daughter to you!" Debbie went straight to the point.
Sheffield would make such an excellent son-in-law. How could she not seize this opportunity?
However, Debbie was thinking of Terilynn while Sheffield thought that she had ant Evelyn.
Baffled and pleasantly surprised by her words, he said, "Okay, thank you very much!" Then he poured Debbie a glass of wine and handed it to her.
'Okay? So, he doesn't have a girlfriend!' Debbie was thrilled. She took the wine from him, and they clinked glasses happily.
After putting down the glass, Debbie told him with keen interest, "You know what? My daughter, Terilynn is a very lively and outgoing person, but she can be a little too serious sotis. She's a kindhearted girl and a law student..."
"Wait, wait a minute, Mrs. Huo!" Sheffield interrupted her.
Debbie looked at him in confusion. "What's wrong?"
"To be honest, I am very interested in your elder daughter!"
"Evelyn?"
"Yes! Evelyn," he said confidently.
Debbie didn't
ow childish you can be sotis. This doctor may have approached you on purpose. Be careful of him."
Debbie stared at Carlos with an incredulous look. "Why can't you change your bad habit? Do you really think that everyone is out to get our property? You are wrong. The man I was with is a very capable doctor, who not only does surgeries but also develops software as a sideline. He makes a lot of money!"
'Develops software.' This reminded Carlos of Star Anise.
However, he was certain that it wasn't Star Anise. Star Anise couldn't have been so young. Shaking his head, Carlos went on arguing with his wife. "You're so kindhearted you think everyone in the world is good."
"My friends are all good people. I am not like you. I don't make friends with dodgy people!"
"Are you talking about Damon and Wesley?"
"Look at you! Do you want to sow dissension among us?"
Carlos was amused by her reaction. He cupped her face and kissed her on the lips. "Honey, I love you so much."
Debbie blushed at his sudden confession of love. She glared at him and pouted her lips. "You used to flirt with nonstop when we were young, and now you are still so flirtatious."
"You two need to get a room. I'm blushing." A voice interrupted the two lovers from behind.
It was Matthew.
He was standing casually with his hands inside his pockets. His assistant was standing not far behind him, carrying his suitcase.
