NovelEnglish"Evelyn—" A sharp meow interrupted Sheffield just as he was about to say something.
Meow!
A large furry creature came into sight. If it hadn't been for the meowing, Evelyn would've thought that Sheffield kept a leopard.
But as far as she was concerned, cats were far worse than leopards.
The animal stared at her and started walking towards her.
"Dude! Why didn't you send Bailee to the pet store? You knew I was coming!" Joshua asked as he ran away from the cat and towards the kitchen.
'Baby?' Evelyn couldn't believe that Sheffield would give his pet such... well, such an adorable name.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"It's not Bailee now. It's Eve," Sheffield corrected him.
'Eve?' Evelyn's face darkened. The cat was still walking towards her. Sheffield turned around to look at Evelyn, who was standing completely still. "Eve, wait—" he paused. He realized that it would be confusing to use that name with both Evelyn and the cat in the room, and at the same time, he also thought that no one could replace Evelyn. "All right. We'll just call her Bailee. I don't want to change the name anymore. Evelyn, her name is Bailee. She might look huge, but she is very meek."
'Oh, it's Bailee, not Baby, ' Evelyn thought, but she didn't say anything.
Joshua decided to make fun of Sheffield. "Evelyn, the cat is his mistress. He spoils her to no end. He doesn't even stop her when she messes around with us," he teased.
The two men waited for a long time, but there was no movement from the woman. They thought that she was playing with Bailee, so they didn't pay much attention, and took all the food into the kitchen.
"Achoo!" Suddenly, a sneeze came from the living room.
Sheffield craned his head from the kitchen and asked, "Evelyn, did you catch a cold?"
She shook her head. "Sheffield..." Her voice was trembling.
Even Joshua, who was far away from the cat, sensed that there was something wrong with Evelyn this time.
The cat walked around her legs, staring at the motionless woman with her yellow eyes.
"Achoo!" Evelyn sneezed again.
As soon as Sheffield saw her reaction, he knew what was wrong. "Are you allergic to

There were two dishes with plum. Sheffield had also cooked the braised fish sticks with celery.
He sat next to Evelyn. Joshua had to sit alone, opposite to them.
Sheffield picked up a small slice of trotter and brought it to Evelyn's lips. "Taste this."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe was surprised. He smiled and said, "Don't worry. I haven't used the chopsticks yet. Eat."
Joshua covered his eyes dramatically. "I didn't see anything. I'm not seeing any of this romantic shit."
Evelyn picked up her bowl and said, "Put it in the bowl."
Sheffield insisted, "Open your mouth. Here... Be a good girl."
When Evelyn tried to protest, he took the opportunity and put the trotter into her mouth.
From under the table, Joshua kicked Sheffield's leg and said, "You didn't ask me to come here for lunch. You just wanted to show off your love for her, didn't you?"
Sheffield looked at him with a smug smile and said, "If you feel uncomfortable, feel free to leave anytime."
"Do you think I'm stupid? I waited for so long for this food. You think I will leave on an empty stomach? I'm not leaving. I'll be your third wheel. I don't care!" Joshua began to gulp down the rice.
Ignoring their banter, Evelyn focused on the delicious food.
She was in a good mood and ate a lot. She even drank up the whole bowl of soup which Sheffield had ladled for her.
