True Love Waits

Evelyn walked in through the side gate of the manor. It was not until she was out of sight that Sheffield finally got into his car.

When she entered the manor, she saw Carlos standing under one of the garden lamps.

Wearing only thin pajamas, Carlos stood with folded arms, expressionless, as he watched his daughter walk in.

Evelyn's heart skipped a beat. From where he stood, he could easily see Sheffield's car parked outside. 'Holy crap! Dad must have seen him,' she thought to herself.

She took a deep breath and hugged him. "Dad, I'm sorry. I got too emotional earlier."

Carlos' waiting at the gate late at night for her melted away all her anger.

He sighed, "I thought you wouldn't come back."

"Then why are you here?" Evelyn asked playfully, leaning on his shoulder.

"I...I was taking a walk." That was the lamest excuse Carlos could come up with.

Evelyn chuckled. "He insisted that I come back home. Dad, he's a nice guy-"

"Did he brainwash you again?" Carlos interrupted her.

He didn't believe that Sheffield was the one who had asked her to come back to the manor. As far as Carlos knew, Sheffield was a cheater, who lied to Evelyn again and again. Evelyn realized that as long as Sheffield was involved, Carlos would be too angry to talk to her. "Never mind, Dad. Let's go inside and get some rest."

She took her father's arm. They walked towards the villa slowly.

"Listen to me, Evelyn. Try to get along with Joshua Fan."

Evelyn didn't want to talk about it. "Dad, if you mention that again, I'll move into my apartment and stay there."
