True Love Waits

Sheffield studied abroad, and Darius footed the bill. After that, Darius pulled strings to get him a spot at First General Hospital.

"I think you're overreacting, Dad. He's just a playboy. He'll settle down after we're married with kids." Dollie had lived with two boyfriends before. None of them ever stopped going out and partying, but they weren't married, either.

Sidell thought for a bit. "Mmm...maybe. It's not bad that he's picky. A lot of men are picky when it comes to their women. He just dumped a ton of cash into his research and development operations. When I asked him about it, he claimed he found a sponsor. And he wouldn't tell me who. He also said he made some of that money racing cars. He's loaded, but he wouldn't be, if he didn't win races, not to mention that investor of his. Still, I don't like it."

"Come on, Dad. We know he raced against Fowler and won millions on a bet. He didn't lie to us. Don't worry about him." Sheffield had many girlfriends over the years, but not like Evelyn. She was special to him.

He told Dollie he had gotten close to Evelyn for a reason, but Dollie wasn't sure about that. Sometimes she had a feeling that the "reason" was that he was attracted to the young CEO.

She had to admit that Evelyn was pretty amazing. She was rich, beautiful, and was a CEO. Men had every reason to fall in love with her.

She decided she had to try and make Sheffield forget about Evelyn. She wanted him all to herself.

"He is applying for a patent for those drugs. You have to win his heart before that goes through!" Sidell told his daughter. Once Sheffield's patents were approved, it meant he was a genius with unlimited prospects and endless wealth.

"Will do, Father."

Two of Sheffield and Joshua's mutual friends were back in the country. Being old friends, they decided to meet for dinner and catch up.

In the biggest private booth of a restaurant, more than ten young people sat around an oval table. The reason for the large number of guests? All of them were with wives and girlfriends. All of them except Sheffield and Joshua, of course.

Their old friends began to make fun of them. "Mr. Tang and Mr. Fan have slept with way more chicks than we have. What's going on? Don't tell us you went stag? I really have to mark this day on the calendar!" The wound on Sheffield's face had completely healed by now. He stuck out his tongue before replying casually, "My woman is busy making money. I'll bring her out some other time."
