True Love Waits

Knowing what Terilynn meant, Dixon cast a glance at the silent Carlos through the rearview mirror and answered after some hesitation, "Yes."

Terilynn covered her mouth in shock. So her sister and Sheffield had known each other for a long time. What was worse, he was the guy who got her pregnant. In a hurry, she took out her phone and shot a message to Joshua. "Sheffield and my sister are old friends, huh?"

But Joshua didn't answer her. 'He might be at work,' she thought.

"Dixon..." Carlos called out. He wanted the younger man to stand by for orders.

But his voice trailed off as he saw Evelyn kissing Sheffield. The moment seemed to go on forever. The smile on her face widened.

Carlos changed the order he was going to give.

It was not until Evelyn pressed Sheffield against the car to wipe away the smears of lipstick from his face that Carlos said to Dixon, "Drive."

Dixon turned around and caught a glimpse of Carlos, his expressionless boss. He wondered what was going through the man's mind. So he wasn't going to clean the young doctor's clock this time?

The Emperor slowly glided away like a phantom, like it was never there in the first place.

Carlos stared out the window. "Don't tell your sister we went anywhere," he told Terilynn.

"What? Why?" Terilynn asked in confusion.

Carlos didn't answer her.

Terilynn thought for a while and said tentatively, "Dad, Evelyn is a lot happier with Sheffield than she is with Calvert. You can see it in her eyes, on her face. Stop butting into their love life. Just leave them alone."

"Humph!" With a snort, Carlos said coldly, "I can't just sit back and do nothing. That man is dangerous, and there's a reason he tries to make time with my daughter. I won't let her be hurt again!" Terilynn chose to shut up and leave it alone.

Sheffield took Evelyn to the most happening place in Y City. He found a parking spot, albeit a few blocks from where he wanted to be.

He grabbed her hand and led her along the busy street. "Hungry?" he asked in a soft voice.

"A little."
