True Love Waits

"Oh!" Evelyn didn't give it much thought, nor did she have the mood to care about who Debbie was having dinner with. The situation between her and Sheffield was still in a deadlock. "I'm going upstairs," she said to Carlos.

"Good night, honey."

"Good night, Dad."

Evelyn went upstairs to her bedroom while Carlos carried on working in the living room.

Meanwhile, at the homemade cuisine restaurant, Sheffield and Debbie were having a great time. Sheffield ordered a full table of dishes, obviously to impress Debbie. Fortunately, that worked out in his favor as she always had a big appetite.

After a while, Debbie hurled the question she had been meaning to ask him. "Do you have a girlfriend, Sheffield?"

The answer to that question wasn't going to be a straightforward one for Sheffield. He struggled to come up with the right answer because if he said that he didn't have a girlfriend, then what was Evelyn to him? However, if he told Debbie the truth, he would risk being misunderstood by her. "Mrs. Huo, are you trying to set me up with someone?"

"Yes, you are right. To tell you the truth, I want to introduce my daughter to you!" Debbie went straight to the point.

Sheffield would make such an excellent son-in-law. How could she not seize this opportunity?

However, Debbie was thinking of Terilynn while Sheffield thought that she had meant Evelyn.

Baffled and pleasantly surprised by her words, he said, "Okay, thank you very much!" Then he poured Debbie a glass of wine and handed it to her.

'Okay? So, he doesn't have a girlfriend!' Debbie was thrilled. She took the wine from him, and they clinked glasses happily.

After putting down the glass, Debbie told him with keen interest, "You know what? My daughter, Terilynn is a very lively and outgoing person, but she can be a little too serious sometimes. She's a kindhearted girl and a law student..."

"Wait, wait a minute, Mrs. Huo!" Sheffield interrupted her.
