Sheffield sat straight and took Evelyn's hand, sending her a playful smile. "Don't listen to the old man. I've always been a good boy. He just enjoys badmouthing me."

"Yeah, right!" Evelyn rolled her eyes and crossed her arms over her chest. "Silly boy, do you still eat herbs?"

"No!" He was not as stupid now.

"Can you show me around the yard?" The place was full of the fragrance of herbs. Evelyn couldn't wait to see more of it.

"No problem!" Sheffield smiled and kissed her on her cheeks, grabbing her hand to walk out of the living room.

Herbs were spread across Vernon's yard. The boy apprentice was drying them. When he saw Evelyn and Sheffield coming over, he greeted them warmly.

Sheffield softly nodded at the boy and turned to Evelyn. "Honey, this is Wolf." The boy frowned and cast a protesting glance at him. "It's Wolfberry," Sheffield corrected himself.

'Wolfberry?' Evelyn quietly pulled Sheffield's sleeve and stared at him. "Stop making fun of him. It's rude!"

Before Sheffield could say anything, the boy apprentice hastily waved his hand. "It's fine. Sheffield is a senior to me. It's okay for him to say whatever he wants."

Evelyn was rendered speechless. 'This boy is so obedient.'

Sheffield had a smile on his face but didn't say anything else. He showed Evelyn around the yard and explained to her the Chinese medicine she was curious about.

When Wolfberry walked into the backyard garden, Sheffield began telling her about the boy. "Wolfberry is an orphan. My master brought him back from the door of the orphanage when he was eleven. He's nineteen now. My master was willing to pay for his education, but he didn't want to go to school. He wasn't even willing to work anywhere outside the yard. Instead, he stayed here with my master every day to guard it, especially with master going out every now and then. Wolfberry is gentle and kind. If you ever treat him nicely, he would be deeply touched. And he has a good temper as well. I often gave him gifts before, so he sees me as his own brother! But he doesn't talk much. He is a thinker."

"Why do you call him Wolfberry?" She suspected that Sheffield had given the boy that name as a joke.

"He has a name, but he likes eating Chinese wolfberries a lot. I call him Wolfberry every time I see him eating them." Vernon used to call

To take her revenge, she married the man, and used him.

to calm herself down. "On the 20th, I'm getting engaged to Calvert."

No one could imagine how difficult it was for her to finish that sentence.

Unexpectedly, Sheffield just nodded and said, "Okay."

Evelyn was so shocked that she couldn't find words to speak. 'Doesn't he care?'

Sheffield calculated the time in his mind and told her, "Good news will be released about my research that day. Evelyn, wait for my good news." He would have the money to buy her everything she liked.

She didn't know what to say.

"Well, my good girl, go to the office. Take care of yourself!" As usual, he gave her a gentle kiss on the forehead.

Sheffield's eyes followed her as she disappeared inside the building, and his smile disappeared.

'Evelyn, why don't you give me some hope?

Why don't you ask me to wait for you? You know I will, no matter how long it will take.'

He talked to Joshua on the phone before heading over to his apartment.

When he arrived home, he saw Joshua playing with his phone on the couch. The voice of the door disturbed Joshua. He looked up for a bit and busied himself on his phone again. "You missed me?"

Sheffield couldn't bother to reply at this moment. "Evelyn is getting engaged." Joshua stopped playing, and his face was filled with shock. "What did you say?"

Sheffield smiled bitterly. "Isn't this something expected? Why are you so surprised?"

Joshua thought about it. 'Since the day I had a blind date with Evelyn, Sheffield might have mentally prepared himself for her to be engaged to another man.'
