Without saying anything further, Evelyn walked out of the kitchen and went into Sheffield's bathroom.
While she was brushing her teeth, Sheffield came to the door and leaned against it. "Are you done?"
"In a minute," she mouthed.
He walked up to her and wrapped his arms around her waist from behind. In the mirror, they looked to be in an erotic position. Evelyn paused to elbow him. "Go away!"
He ignored her resistance, letting his hands roam all over her body.
When she was done brushing, he grabbed the brush from her hand. Assuming that he was going to put it back for her, Evelyn refused, "I can do it myself, thank you."
He grabbed the toothpaste on the counter and squeezed some onto her toothbrush.
"I already brushed!" Evelyn said, annoyed. Even though she was a fanatic for cleanliness just like him, she wouldn't brush her teeth twice at a time.
"You did, but I didn't."
"So?"
"So, I'm brushing my teeth now. I don't mind if you stay behind to molest me." Teasing her, he put her toothbrush into his mouth.
"Ew! That isn't hygienic at all!" Evelyn tried to get the brush back from his mouth, but he was too tall. 'He was a stickler for hygiene. Does he not care about cleanliness anymore after these two years?'
He laughed. "Do you have some kind of oral disease?" he asked vaguely.
"No."
"Well, me neither."
He continued to brush his teeth.
Unable and unwilling to reason with him, Evelyn went back to the bedroom.
When he came out of the bathroom, she was sitting on the bed. She gave him a quick glance and then went back to whatever she was doing on her phone. "Who was the girlfriend you were talking about the other day during the interview?" she asked.
"Not you," Sheffield lied. He yelled in his heart, 'This is payback for you tricking me!'
"Oh." Evelyn's face remained emotionless. "Are you going to propose to her?"
"Yes, I am." 'I want to marry her more than anything in the world.'
"Lucky her. But she won't say yes. So, keep on trying!" She knew that he was purposefully irritating her. The guy needed a hard lesson.
Sheffield was depressed to hear that from her lips. "Why won't you ask me who my future father-in-law is?"
"I don't care." She already knew who it was.
He pounced on her and pressed her under his body. He took the phone from her and kept it aside. His minty breath fell on her face. "Seems to me like you already know who he is."
Evelyn rolled her eyes at him, unable to conceal the smile on her lips. "You are heavy. I can't breathe," she complained.
"Is that so?" he asked with a playful smile and lowered his head to kiss her lips passionately.
Early the next morning, Evelyn was woken up by Sheffield's warm kiss. She pushed him away, turned over and tried to go back to sleep.
But he had other plans in mind. He turned her around to face him and kissed her again, and then continued to do whatever he wanted to do.
She begged in a hoarse voice, "I'm tired, Sheffield. Don't..."
He smirked, "I understand. When a woman says no, it means she actually wants it."
Evelyn hit him on his shoulder as he bent to kiss her neck. "No means NO!" He laughed. "Alright! But you don't really mean it. So…" he said, pinning her down.
Half an hour later, his phone rang, interrupting their romantic moment.
Evelyn sighed in relief, mentally thanking the person who had called at the right moment. If it weren't for the phone call, she would have died on the bed.
Sheffield ignored the call, but Evelyn reached for his phone. It was a number; no name. She slid the answer button and placed the phone to his ear.
Peterson's voice was clearly audible from the other end of the line. "Sheffield, something has happened in the company. Come home now!"
"I'll come at noon," Sheffield answered impatiently, annoyed by the old man's timing. He was just getting to the good part with his lover.
"The company will be gone by noon! Qi Group is working with Langston's and Duran's companies to crush us! Are you sure you want to wait until this afternoon to deal with this?"
Startled, Evelyn nudged Sheffield and mouthed, "Get up!"
Taking the phone from her, Sheffield rolled over and looked at the ceiling. He snapped, "I am in the middle of something and you are interrupting. Let them do whatever they want. As the CEO, I'm not worried. What are you worried about?"
"At this point, how can I not be? You are too overconfident. I don't care what you do usually, but today, I need you here immediately!" Peterson's tone was unusually serious.
"Fine, stop nagging." Sheffield hung up and looked at Evelyn, who seemed a bit worried by the phone call. He gently kissed her lips. As he got up, he said, "I have to go. You wait for me here. I'll be back soon."
"You are coming back soon?"
Sheffield put on a bathrobe and winked at her. "Of course! To finish what we started."
Evelyn slumped her shoulders and shook her head. "You're crazy."
After he went into the bathroom, she quickly got out of bed, bearing the soreness all over her body.
When he saw that Evelyn was fully dressed, his first thought was to strip her naked again and carry her to his bed. But then, something occurred to him.
They went downstairs together. As usual, Felix was waiting for her. But before she could get into the car, Sheffield called, "Wait!"
She turned around and was surprised when Sheffield pressed her against the car and kissed her on the lips.
Evelyn was confused by his sudden kiss. 'He was about to get into the car. Why the sudden display of affection?'
It was early in the morning. People in the Tang family were leaving the house one by one for work as Sheffield walked in with his suit jacket in his hand. He looked handsome and charming, and his eyes were brimming with satisfaction from the previous night.
Kaylee saw him walk in. She curved up her lips and said softly, "Hello, Sheffield. You woke up beside a woman today, didn't you?"
His eyes fixed on her face, he snickered and whistled at her. "You have sharp eyes, Sister-in-Law. Yes, the woman I was with last night was a hundred times more beautiful than you. And if it weren't for Peterson Tang's abrupt call, you wouldn't be seeing me here right now."
Kaylee didn't show any anger. She folded her arms across her chest and ran her attractive eyes over Sheffield's body from top to bottom. "Beauty should not be judged from appearance alone. You'll only know a woman's true beauty after you've truly been with her. You haven't done it with me. How could you be so sure that I am not more beautiful than your lady friend?"
Kaylee found Sheffield more attractive and much hotter than her husband, Sterling Tang. And he was more handsome than he had been before. She simply couldn't resist his charm.
"Really? Are you suggesting that we give it a try some day?" Sheffield walked closer to her to have a better look at her shameless face.
