Chapter 947 Can You Forgive Her
He turned around and asked the cleaning lady, "Who asked you to come here?"
"A lady called in for cleaning services earlier on. I assume she is your wife?" replied the cleaning lady, uncertain as to who Evelyn was.
Since he was wearing matching pajamas, the cleaning lady simply concluded that they were a cohabiting couple.
\'My wife?\' The way she addressed Evelyn made his heart jump with joy. He grinned from ear to ear and said, "Okay, thank you!"
"You are welcome, sir!" The cleaning lady continued to sweep the floor.
Sheffield pushed open the door to the study and saw Evelyn sitting at his desk in her pajamas. Her eyes were glued to the screen of the laptop and her phone was propped up against her face by her shoulder. "I\'ll talk to you about this later." When she saw Sheffield come inside, she paused and continued, "I\'ll come to the company later. We\'ll talk then."
Putting away her phone, she stood up and pointed to the computer screen. "I was just checking my emails on your computer." There were many things that she couldn\'t understand on his computer.
Sheffield smiled affectionately and pulled her into his arms. "I thought I was dreaming last night. Turns out, you are really here."
When she recalled how passionate he had been last night, Evelyn blushed and looked up into his eyes. "Actually, I\'m here to apologize." Last night, he had apologized to her first, and then she had no chance to speak.
Now, Sheffield deliberately didn\'t give Evelyn a chance to speak because he knew what she was going to say. He jutted his chin towards his laptop and said, "Are you done?"
"Yes, I was just going to turn it off."
"Allow me." Stretching out his arm to close the laptop, he walked out with her in his arms and
e to a critical point, so his presence at the research and development center was of paramount importance.
His words left Evelyn in a trance. She wondered whether it was truly because he was going to be busy with work or he was just mad at her.
After leaving his apartment, Evelyn got in her car, rolled down the window and told the man standing outside the window, "Wait, there\'s one more thing."
Evelyn opened the car door and got out.
"What\'s wrong?"
"Well, it\'s something related to the Xiang family." After much reluctance, Evelyn weighed out all the pros and cons before she spoke.
She felt uncomfortable at the moment because she had never helped him in anything and he had never asked any help from her before. How could she ask him to make a compromise on the Xiang family matter?
The moment he heard her mention the Xiang family, the smile in his eyes disappeared.
For a while, both of them stood in silence as neither of them said anything to each other.
Finally, when Evelyn recalled the troubled look on Savannah\'s face, she said, "I know I don\'t have the right to meddle in how you deal with the Xiang family. I don\'t care about Sidell. He deserves it. I just wanted to ask...if you can be a little...lenient with...Dollie..." She was too embarrassed to continue. "For my sake, can you...forgive her? After all, she was just a kid back then."
Fortunately, Evelyn was only pleading with him instead of other men, because she wouldn\'t be able to bring herself to do that.
