Debbie pushed the door open. She gently reminded her daughter of what was to come. "It's time to go, Evelyn."
Evelyn nodded, acknowledging Debbie. "Yes." She stood up and walked out of the lounge, holding Debbie's arm firmly.
Debbie looked at her daughter, sighing inwardly. She was beautiful and radiant in her dress, but Debbie could tell from her stone face that she was sad.
Miranda and Matthew didn't come to the engagement ceremony today, so only Debbie, Carlos and Terrilynn were there.
The MC's happy and eager voice was soon heard all around. "Ladies and gentlemen, now let's welcome our bride-to-be, Miss Evelyn Huo."
The happiness in the MC's voice sounded ironic to her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA wave of applause broke out among the guests. Evelyn loosened her arm from Debbie and stepped onto the stage in her white high heels.
She was wearing a white off-the-shoulder evening dress. Her permed long hair fell on the shoulders. She wore make-up that made her features appear delicate. Her lipstick was a wonderful contrast to this, with its red hues. There was no doubt in anyone's mind that Evelyn was the shining star of the night.
The MC was standing in the middle of the stage, and on the other side was Calvert in a black suit.
Evelyn didn't turn to look at the guests. She didn't even care how many people there were under the stage and who they were. She just wanted the engagement ceremony to be over as soon as possible, so that she could leave this place. She tried her best not to show it, but it was all starting to suffocate her. action
When Calvert placed a diamond ring on her finger, she tried to force a thin smile.
The crowd would not stop clapping. Their applause almost seemed deafening now. A man leaned against a wall, swirling a glass of red wine in his hand, and his eyes never averted from the woman on the stage.
"Kiss her! Kiss her!" someone in the crowd exclaimed.
With a smile, Calvert looked around the hall and noticed the man in a grey suit leaning against the wall. 'He is here.' The smile on his face grew bigger. Finally, he had won over Sheffield this time.
He lowered his head and drew closer to Evelyn. Just as he was about to kiss her on the lips, she turned her head all of a sudden. The kiss fell on her hair.
The lights on the stage were dimmed, and this gave the illusion that the couple had already kissed. The guests had no idea that the kiss fell a little flat.
Only the MC beside them saw this scene clearly. He suppressed his own embarrassment for them and pretended not to see anything.
When Joshua found Sheffield, the man and
hat to make of Sheffield's answer. He decided to be direct and blunt now. "Whatever. Evelyn's mine now, and there's nothing you can do to bring her back."
"Really?" After a casual glance at him, Sheffield said, "You said you took Evelyn's first kiss. I said I took Evelyn's virginity. Let's wait and see who will be together with her for the rest of her life, the man who took her first kiss or the man who took her virginity."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEvelyn didn't know whether to laugh or cry at his words. Sheffield was clearly acting irrationally. He was starting to embarrass all of them in front of so many people. "Sheffield, stop it."
"No, I can't stop loving you!" Sheffield looked directly at Evelyn, winking at her. He ignored Calvert now, and focused all his attention on her.
Calvert could see the affectionate look in both their eyes. This infuriated him, and he took Evelyn into his arms saying, "No matter what will happen in the future, now she's mine! Aren't you aware of that?"
Evelyn noticed Calvert's hand on her shoulder, and she ordered in a low voice, "Let go of me!"
"Let you go? Evelyn, today is our engagement ceremony. I'm your future husband. Why should I let go of you?" Calvert meant every word. There was no way he was giving Evelyn up, and especially not to Sheffield.
Evelyn was reduced to silence.
As if unaware of their argument, Sheffield put the empty glass aside after he drank the last drop of the red wine, and nodded thoughtfully. "Okay! I'd like to take this opportunity to say a few words to you."
"What?"
"I know I meant nothing to Evelyn. I was just a plaything in bed for her, a casual lover, perhaps. However, I need to say something. It's for her own good," Sheffield said calmly.
