Take My Breath Away Chapter 931

Chapter 931 - Out Of Your League

"Well, good. If you need any help, just let me know. I'm on your side." Miranda liked youngsters who were hardworking and had a positive outlook.

"Oh Grandma, you are so kind. Thank you so much!" Sheffield was deeply touched by her words.

His own grandma had passed away so early that he had never had the pleasure of being pampered by her.

While they chatted, Evelyn left to keep Savannah company.

The Huo family members had a silent understanding. They didn't want to talk about anything unpleasant on Evelyn's birthday. So even after Evelyn had left, instead of asking about her pregnancy, Miranda continued to talk to Sheffield about his work and research.

As the birthday party was about to end, Sheffield found Evelyn chatting with Savannah. "Evelyn," he called.

She turned to him. "Yes?"

"Miss Xiang, may I borrow Evelyn for a minute?" he asked Savannah with an apologetic smile.

She nodded. "Sure." Turning to Evelyn with a smile, she said, "Go ahead. I'll go and find Grandma."

"Okay."

"Can you show me around your room?" Sheffield asked Evelyn with a mysterious grin.

"Is this what you wanted to talk about so urgently?" Evelyn sighed helplessly.

"I'm just curious. I want to know more about you," he explained.

Evelyn searched for Carlos and Calvert. They were chatting in the living room. "Okay," she agreed and walked to the stairs, Sheffield following her close behind.

Calvert saw them from the corner of his eye and felt his heart burn.

He had been with Evelyn for a long time, but he had never been to the second floor of the Huo family manor. And yet, she was taking Sheffield to her bedroom.

The second floor was simple, yet luxuriously decorated. Evelyn pushed open the door to the innermost room and let Sheffield in.

He walked into the big room casually and looked around curiously. Evelyn stood near the door, hesitating and wondering whether or not to close the door. Before she could decide, Sheffield stepped towards her and closed the door.

And without a word, he pulled her into his arms. Evelyn doubted his intentions from the beginning, but now she knew what was on his mind, and it was clearly not to see her bedroom decorations.

Sheffield held her close and bent down to kiss her red lips. She kissed him back. After a while, they broke apart and he said in a hoarse voice, "Evelyn, I haven't kissed you in such a long time. I have missed you so much."

She sighed in disbelief. 'It's only been one day. He makes it sound like we haven't seen each other for a year.'

They stared into each other's eyes, and Sheffield lowered his head to kiss her again. At that moment, there was a knock on the door. Evelyn jumped back in fear and moved away from Sheffield. She collected herself quickly and asked, "Who is it?"

The door opened. "It's me." And in came Calvert.

Seeing him, Sheffield scoffed. 'He really has his eye on Evelyn all the time. What an annoying asshole.' He satirized the man. "Mr. Ji, shouldn't you be chatting with my future father-in-law downstairs? Why did you come up here to ruin our moment?"

Calvert ignored him and turned to Evelyn. "Your father and I had a discussion earlier. I've booked the place for our families' meeting, and your father has cleared your schedule for the day as well. Do you have any qualms regarding it?"

Evelyn shook her head and answered perfunctorily, "No."

"Great! So, that's settled."

As if completely oblivious to what the two were talking about, Sheffield made his way to Evelyn's walk-in closet and the adjacent collection room.

He walked around the giant closet and let out a low whistle. He clicked his tongue when he saw the sheer amount of shoes in her closet. Her high-heels alone occupied an entire wall with three shelves; there were at least a hundred pairs, all different and branded.

Her autumn and winter clothes needed eight wardrobes in total, which occupied more than eighty square meters of the room. Her jewelry was kept in another room.

The closet in Evelyn's apartment was just as big as this one.

He poked his head out of the closet and asked, "Eve, my love, may I enter your collection room?"

Evelyn's eyes almost popped out as she glared at his naughty grin. Calvert was silently standing opposite her. 'He called me like that on purpose just to vex Calvert!' Still, she nodded.

With her permission, Sheffield entered the room. The space was over a hundred square meters. He was amazed.

Inside were all kinds of accessories for women. There were all kinds of precious stones—ruby, sapphire, tourmaline, topaz, cat's eye, garnet, spinel, emerald, pearls, corals and more. The room was dazzling in luxury.

There were several sliding drawers which had fancy watches in display. The most luxurious wristwatch in her collection was even more expensive than the one Carlos had given Debbie years ago.

Debbie's watch had 520 diamonds embedded in it. It had been an apology gift from Carlos when they were both still young. Evelyn's watch was adorned with 999 diamonds. It was so heavy that she had never worn it. Like Debbie, she put the watch away as a part of her collection.

As a well-known socialite diva and as the eldest princess of ZL Group, Evelyn led a comfortable life which was simply beyond any common man's imagination.

Other than her family members, Sheffield was the only one to have ever visited Evelyn's collection room.

After seeing everything, Sheffield came out and closed the door to the collection room. Calvert was now inside Evelyn's closet.

Since she had already agreed to let Sheffield look around, it would have been awkward to deny Calvert's request. Evelyn followed him into the closet.

When Sheffield saw him, he leaned against the door of the collection room and sneered, "Prince Ji, you are still here. I thought you would have left already. Never mind. Take a good look at her closet so that you can finally realize how out of your league she is."

After seeing Evelyn's huge closet, Sheffield had decided that even if he succeeded with his research, he would continue working hard to give her an even better life than what she had now.

Calvert ignored him.

With no trace of embarrassment on his face, Sheffield winked at Evelyn openly.

'Exactly how thick is his skin?' she wondered, rolling her eyes.

When Calvert reached the door to the collection room, he glared at Sheffield. The man was blocking the door, and seemed to have no intention of giving way. "Move aside," he ordered.

Sheffield propped one elbow against the wall to support his tilted head with his fist. "No. Everything inside this room is extremely precious. What if something goes missing after you roam around inside?"

Evelyn was speechless, and Calvert was humiliated and enraged. 'Who the hell does he think I am? A thief? I am the son of a diamond merchant. Why would I steal from others? This is ridiculous!' "Mr. Tang, haven't your parents taught you to respect others?"

Sheffield arched an eyebrow. "Of course, they have. They have taught me to respect decent human beings."

Calvert's hands clenched into fists. He wanted to beat the hell out of the impudent man, even though he knew that he couldn't win against Sheffield.
