True Love Waits

Evelyn was flustered by her father's sharp gaze. "Why are you asking me if you already know the answer? Dad, I'm almost thirty, and I need some privacy. Isn't Tayson going back to his hometown soon? Let him go back early."

"Nonsense! When Tayson leaves, I'll find a new bodyguard for you. You are not allowed to go anywhere alone."

Evelyn couldn't stand Carlos anymore. She pulled at her hair which unevenly fell over her shoulders and said irritably, "I want to get out." "Why? Where are you going?" Carlos asked, his tone so cold that anyone else would have frozen over. But, not his dear daughter.

Evelyn raised her voice. "Dad! I don't get any freedom around you, do I? Stop the car!"

Terilynn was driving. She slowed down, but Carlos ordered coldly, "Terilynn, keep driving."

Debbie sighed. "Carlos, what are you doing? Evelyn should decide who she wants to be with. Stop worrying."

"No way! I have not meddled in her affairs before, but what did she give us in return? She got pregnant! And almost died after-"

"Dad!" Evelyn interrupted him. "Tell me. Why didn't you let me talk to them about that? You can do whatever you want, but I have to keep my mouth shut? Do you think I could hide my pregnancy from Joshua if we get married?"

"I'm not asking you to keep it from him. You can tell him in private. You can't just talk about it in a public place. And who is to blame for that, huh? You made the mistake of falling for the wrong guy." Carlos was fuming mad.

It was their first time arguing, and all because of a man none of them had ever seen, except Evelyn. Trying her best to suppress her anger, she hissed in her sister's ear, "Terilynn, stop the car right now." Terilynn also thought that they both needed to calm down. Ignoring Carlos' angry orders, she pulled over. Carlos got out of the car after Evelyn and told his daughter coldly, "Evelyn, I will not allow you to see him."

Evelyn stopped in her tracks. She turned around and sneered at Carlos. "I wasn't planning on going to see him. But now that you're trying to stop me from doing it, I have to go to see him." Saying so, she hailed a taxi and left.

Glaring at the taxi, Carlos took out his phone and dialed a number. "Do away with that man."
