True Love Waits

Sheffield couldn't bear to see Evelyn's sorrowful face, so he ended the topic. "Evelyn, for someone who is so strong and independent in many aspects, in the face of love, you are too... weak." She'd never said the words "I love you" to him. Sheffield didn't know whether she was too shy to say it or she didn't love him as much as he thought she did.

At this moment, Evelyn couldn't find any fault with his words. Indeed, she was weak in matters of love.

Sheffield dotingly brushed his fingers through her long hair and smiled. "Anyway, you should go back. Calvert's waiting for you. He may not be a good guy, but I have to admit that he does love you. Go!" As soon as the last word left his lips, Sheffield turned around and strode away, blocking Evelyn's voice out of his head as she called out his name.

'Goodbye, Evelyn. It was an honor to have been a tiny part in your life's journey.'

"Sheffield!" Evelyn cried out, as she held up the hemline of her dress when she heard the sound of engines revving, and ran after him in front of everybody.

Unfortunately, she only managed to catch a blurred streak of brake lights as the car sped out and disappeared into the distance.

As she stood there motionlessly staring out, Calvert walked to her and held her in his arms.

His instincts were telling him that Sheffield was finally leaving Evelyn.

When Carlos and Debbie rushed out of the hotel, they saw Evelyn running after the yellow car in tears. Guilt built up in Carlos' heart as he clenched his fists.

Carlos rushed over to Evelyn and held her in his arms, his heart breaking with every tear that left her sad eyes.

'I'm sorry, honey...' Carlos was genuinely remorseful.

Meanwhile, a piece of news began to spread on the Internet-"Mysterious man showed up unannounced at Evelyn Huo and Calvert Ji's engagement ceremony. Is something fishy going on behind Calvert's back?"

Below the words were nine photos to support the scandalous narrative. Some were taken when the three of them were chatting face to face inside the hotel. The others were taken outside the hotel where Evelyn was seen running after Sheffield to stop him from leaving. As the photos were taken in secret, it was hard to make out Sheffield's identity due to the unclear nature of the shots.
