NovelEnglishWithout hesitation, Sheffield put his work aside and called Matthew back.
As soon as the call got through, Matthew's assistant answered, "Hello, Mr. Tang. I'm Mr. Matthew Huo's assistant. He is in a meeting now, but he asked me to tell you that he would like to meet you at the Waterfront Cafe tonight. Would that be a good time for you, Mr. Tang?"
'Really?' Sheffield glanced at his watch only to find that it was already past nine o'clock at night. "Okay. When will his meeting end?"
"Mr. Matthew Huo has to catch the early flight tomorrow morning. This is his last meeting for the day. It has been on for about half an hour. I think it will come to an end very soon." The assistant meant to say that Sheffield should set off now and wait for Matthew at the cafe.
Sheffield smiled and replied, "I see."
After hanging up the phone, Sheffield told his subordinates to handle the rest of the work before he changed his clothes and left for the cafe.
At the Waterfront Cafe
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA waiter came up to greet Sheffield enthusiastically, "Good evening, sir! Do you have a reservation?"
Sheffield thought for a second and said, "Do you have a reservation here under the name of Matthew Huo?"
"Oh, yes. Are you Mr. Tang? He has a private room reserved on the second floor. Please follow me."
Sheffield followed the waiter to the second floor of the coffee shop.
The reserved room was decorated in a modern style with an independent restroom attached to it. Several bookshelves lined up against the walls, filled with all kinds of books. On top of a large wooden table was a self-grinding coffee maker and a wide selection of coffee beans to choose from. There was also a vintage piano just next to the table; a few leather sofas and a few potted green plants.
Sheffield ordered a cup of freshly ground coffee as he took a seat.
After the waiter left, he walked to the piano and opened the hinged fall-board that protected the keyboard. As his slender fingers casually struck a few keys, a beautiful tune filled the silence in the room.
After falling out of interest very quickly, he slowly shut the fall-board and pulled open the curtains of the French window. The first thing that came to his sight was the building of the Theo Group.
Standing in front of the French window and looking at the words "Theo Group," Sheffield fell into deep thought.
Although Theo Group was not as influential as ZL group, it was one of the leading enterprises in Y City. Both of them were internationally recognized companies, and ranked top 100 in the world.
Rumors had it that the health of Theo Group's boss was getting worse every year. Th
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.

'Oh, so Evelyn isn't pregnant now...' Still in a confused state, Sheffield fell back on his seat, struggling to make sense of the situation. 'Wait... Evelyn got pregnant after she came back from D City?' Coming back to his senses, he shouted, "Impossible! I clearly remember using protection that night!"
Matthew pulled a long face. "Are you trying to say that my sister got pregnant with another man's child?"
"No! I didn't mean that." 'I know that Evelyn isn't that sort of person, but how else would she get pregnant? How did that happen? What did I do wrong to make that happen?'
A series of questions started popping up in his mind.
Unable to come up with an answer that made sense, he fell into uncertainty. "Perhaps it was because...that was my first time. I may have used the condoms in the wrong way?" But then he shook his head and muttered to himself, "But...it didn't seem like that. I couldn't have been so clueless..." Although Sheffield hadn't had sex with a woman before meeting Evelyn, he knew just enough about sex as any man would.
If he didn't even know how to use a condom in the correct way, he wouldn't be having sex with a woman in the first place.
Sheffield's puzzled murmuring made Matthew feel impatient. "So far from what I can understand, you're telling me that my sister got pregnant with someone else's baby?"
"No, no, no! Perhaps the quality of the condoms wasn't as good. After all, they were just freebies from the guesthouse. It could have broken during..." Sheffield remembered how badly he wanted Evelyn that night. All he could think of was being with her.
Matthew's lips twitched. "I'm not here to discuss about how strong you were in bed."
