In addition to the supplements, there were also several valuable gifts.

Vernon sucked his pipe and narrowed his eyes at Sheffield. "Save it. You've never cared about me." He squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth. action

Sheffield purposefully ignored Vernon's words and opened one of the boxes, in which there was another pipe. "In order to buy a good pipe for you, Evelyn and I went to many shopping malls. This pipe is hand-made of photinia wood in Denmark. Do you like it?"

The pipe was in the shape of a trunk. With one look, one could easily tell that the beautiful engraving was carved by a professional artist.

Vernon took the pipe, observed it closely, and nodded in satisfaction. "Thank you, Evelyn. You're more filial than Sheffield."

Sheffield pretended to be unhappy after hearing that, and he wore a gloomy expression on his face. "Master, I'm also filial to you. That day, you asked me to stay here for one night. I did. I even missed my date with Evelyn to accompany you." It wasn't like Sheffield was jealous of Evelyn. In his heart, he was thrilled when he heard Vernon praise her.

Evelyn cast a confused gaze at him, wondering which date he was referring to. Her fingers subconsciously traced the edges of her chin. Was it the time when she was with Savannah and his phone was off? Realization dawned on her and she raised her surprised glance at him. 'So, he was here that day.'

"Go away! Don't say you know me!" Vernon's face was twisted into disgust.

Evelyn was amused by the two's bickering.

Sheffield opened another bag and said, "Master, please take a look at this." There were several boxes in the bag.

"Latakia tobacco?" Vernon's eyes lit up when he saw the two words carved on the surface.

Sheffield chuckled at that. "You're such an old smoker! You recognized it at a single glance!" He pushed the shopping bag towards his master.

Latakia tobacco was very expensive Eastern tobacco from Syria. It was black and one of the very few kinds even the stems and leaf veins of which were useful. A small amount of the tobacco in the formula was enough to produce a thick fragrance.

Latakia tobacco was so rare that Vernon rather smoked Virginia tobacco.

The sight of the brand-new tobacco made Vernon's heart want to burst out of his chest. He even ignored Sheffield's joke and nodded insistently. "Thank you, Evelyn. You're so thoughtful."

"It's all Sheffield." Evelyn sent Vernon a polite smile and looked at Sheffield. "He told me about your hobbies. We picked the gifts together."

If it weren't for Sheffield, she

uldn't wait to tell her.

"Okay." Evelyn sat straight and gazed at Vernon with interest.

"After Sheffield got the notes of traditional Chinese medicine from his grandfather, he hid in a remote forest and studied them for days and nights, memorizing all the content. When he was back home, he burned the notes in front of his father. His father was so angry that he disowned him instantly."

Evelyn was stunned and confused. "Sheffield severed his relationship with his father?"

He had told her that his parents passed away. Evelyn thought for a moment. 'Oh, maybe his father disowned him before he died.'

"Yes! Do you know how many people were willing to pay a high price to get that book? Someone once paid two hundred million, but Sheffield got angry at that person and asked him to go away." If Vernon were in Sheffield's shoes, he would have kicked that person out of his house too. The fruit of Mooney's painstaking work could only be inherited. It was not for sale.

Although Sheffield's father was not happy about this matter, Vernon had always been blissful about what Sheffield did. It proved that Sheffield was a kind and righteous kid and did not value money over people.

Speaking of Sheffield's past, Vernon had a lot to talk about. Sheffield had listened for so long he even began dozing off. Vernon was about to continue when he happened to gaze at half-awake and half-asleep Sheffield and decided to make some food for them. "Sheffield, show Evelyn around. I'm going to prepare lunch for you."

"Got it." Cross-legged, Sheffield rested his head against his hand and watched Vernon leave the room.

Evelyn was amused by Sheffield's childhood stories. "You were a naughty boy back then."
