Dollie felt ignored by everyone at the table. Losing her appetite and patience, she whispered to Sheffield, "I'm full. I have classes to attend in the afternoon. Shall we leave?"

Sheffield didn't refuse. He took a tissue and wiped his mouth. Feigning a casual look, he said to the other three, "Enjoy your meal. I have to drop Dollie back at school."

"Bye bye, handsome," Terilynn sang playfully with a smile.

Sheffield returned the smile, and then looked at Evelyn. "I got to go. Bye."

Evelyn froze, but she remained silent.

Joshua stood up and told Evelyn, "I'll see them off. Will be back soon."

"Okay," Terilynn replied instead, waving her hand at him.

The three of them left the table together. On their way to Sheffield's car, the men slowed down their pace and walked further away from Dollie. Joshua whispered, "Buddy, I really had no idea who she was or that she was your woman."

"I know." Sheffield could tell.

Joshua had done nothing wrong. If it weren't him, there would have been another man on a blind date with Evelyn.

"Cheer up, man. Don't be so crestfallen. And if you want to win her heart, you should keep your distance from Dollie. If I were Evelyn, I wouldn't choose to date you either if you were with another woman," Joshua said in all earnestness.

"I know what I'm doing," Sheffield nodded.

"All right, just saying. Anyway, you gotta work harder than ever to buy the best gemstone in the world." 'A girl like Evelyn indeed deserves the best, ' Joshua thought, remembering their conversation from the other day.

With a sneer on his face, Sheffield muttered, "Let's hope she'll accept it."

Joshua patted him on the shoulder. "She likes you."

"How do you know that?"

Joshua flashed the gloomy doctor a mysterious smile. "Trust me. Now off you go. I need to get back to Evelyn. I'll take care of her for you. Don't worry."

"Fine. But remember, she's mine. Know your boundaries," Sheffield reminded his friend in a serious tone.

"Oh, I don't know. I might snatch her away from you," Joshua teased.

Sheffield sluggishly echoed his joke. "Then, we will be sworn enemies from that point."

Joshua waved at him as he stood at the gate of the restaurant. "Best friends b

Drugged one night by her ex-boyfriend, a mysterious man took advantage of her in an ecstatic night filled with sex.

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

"As long as I'm alive, I'm still his legal wife, while all of you are just his mistresses."

She remained adamant even when he was involved in scandals with other women.

Eventually she stormed off after she learned that he had betrayed her again.But life brought her back to him a few years later, to his astonishment.

field stepped back and said, "If she wants to return it to me, ask her to come and give it to me directly."

"Miss Huo is with Mr. Fan now. Please give up on her, Dr. Tang."

Sheffield knitted his brows and stared at Tayson. "What do you mean?"

"After Miss Huo returned from her date yesterday, she told her parents that she had a good time with Mr. Fan and had decided to date him."

Sheffield's heart was crushed.

In the Fan family residence

Sheffield rang the doorbell. A housemaid opened the door for him. She smiled at him and said, "Hello, Mr. Tang."

"Hello, Auntie Abby. Is Joshua home?"

The housemaid stepped aside and said, "Mr. Fan is sleeping upstairs. You can go to his room."

Sheffield was a frequent visitor, so the housemaid was familiar with him.

"Okay. Thank you, Auntie Abby," Sheffield said politely.

He then walked to the innermost room on the second floor, and pushed open the door without knocking.

Joshua was sound asleep in the large bed, covered with a grey bed sheet and a fluffy quilt. Sheffield walked to the bed and shouted, "Joshua Fan!"

Joshua woke up with a start and opened one of his eyes, shouting, "Get out, man!"

Sheffield removed his quilt and threw it aside. Underneath, the man was completely naked. Sheffield rolled his eyes and then chided, "Didn't I tell you to change your habit of sleeping naked?"

"Fuck off! Why don't you learn to knock first?" Joshua pulled the quilt over himself to cover his naked body.
