'What? Damn it! What is he doing?' Peterson closed his eyes and tried to hold back his anger. "How could I not claim her as a granddaughter? Bring the kid by someday and we'll have a proper visit."
"Yeah, maybe. By the way, I'm getting married. That means you can start working on the wedding presents. I think you should know who my girlfriend is. It's up to you to decide the bride price. But remember, we won't make it if you decide to stiff me."

Evelyn had forgiven him a long time ago. She was worried Sheffield would still be mad at her. She nodded firmly, "Okay. Let's try to make the future brighter."
"Yes. So, Miss Evelyn Huo..." Sheffield raised his voice. "It's every woman's dream to wear a wedding dress and every man's dream to marry the one he loves.
