True Love Waits

Chapter 877

Joshua understood. "Well, I'm at Orchid Private Club. I gotta go. Talk to you later," he said to Sheffield.

"All right."

When Joshua arrived at Room 888 of the Orchid Private Club, Carlos had just opened a bottle of red wine.

Joshua's heart caught in his throat. Carlos was way too intimidating, even in pleasant surroundings like this. But right now, he had to face him.

"Thank you, Uncle Carlos," Joshua said as he took the glass.

Carlos sat down on the leather couch. "Have a seat," he said to Joshua.

"Thank you, Uncle Carlos." His responses were measured and polite. He knew a lot was riding on this meeting. Joshua sat opposite Carlos.

Carlos was never a man to beat around the bush. As soon as they sat down, he went straight to the point. "You need to marry Evelyn."

After a short pause, Joshua refused, "I'm sorry, Uncle Carlos. I can't—"

"Or tomorrow," Carlos interrupted. "Tomorrow everyone will know you were the one who chased Evelyn and went back to her apartment with her."

"Does Evelyn even know about this?" Joshua asked anxiously.

"She doesn't need to know. You just need to tell me yes or no."
