Chapter 873 - Rake Up EaChapter Other&##039;s Past

"Why would your car suddenly flip?" Evelyn hit the nail on the head. Sheffield was an expert racer. An accident was out of the question.
Her query surprised the men.
Joshua's admiration for Evelyn went up a notch. If it were any other woman, she would have gotten jealous after knowing that her man had gotten injured trying to save some girl. She would have jumped to conclusions and bombarded the man with questions about this new girl.
But Evelyn wasn't bothered at all.
Sheffield wasn't sure how to react to her indifference. He wanted his girlfriend to be a little jealous; that would mean that she cared for him. But, this was Evelyn Huo. He sighed. "Someone sabotaged my race car."
"Who was it?" she asked, meeting his eyes.
He smiled. "I can guess, but I don't have any proof yet." He had to investigate the incident first.
After a short pause, she asked, "Will you stop racing from now on?"
"Babe, can we please change the subject?" Sheffield begged. He loved racing. Staying away from the track would make him feel dead inside.
Joshua poked Sheffield's bandaged arm.
"Aw!" Sheffield yelled as he tried to kick Joshua off the bed. "Are you trying to kill me?"
Joshua jumped off the bed, grinning from ear to ear. He arched an eyebrow and said, "You deserve it. Evelyn is my girlfriend, and yet you call her 'babe' right in front of me. How dare you!"
Evelyn pinched her arching brows and thought, 'No wonder these two are best friends. Both of them are childish!'
"Fuck off! I don't need you here anymore. I want to talk to MY girlfriend alone. Get out!" Sheffield barked.
Joshua only laughed harder as he sat back on the sofa. "Evelyn, he is trying to evade your question. Maestro Tang doesn't want to give up on racing, even for you," he said with a grin. "I can see clearly that he doesn't love you enough. You should be with me, Evelyn. I'll treat you nicer than this ungrateful ass."
Ignoring Joshua's joke, Evelyn looked at Sheffield, waiting for his reply.
Sheffield sat up straight and said with a serious look, "Evelyn, I won't race for fun again. I promise." He was just playing with words. This just meant that he had to find some reason to race, other than doing it for fun.
Evelyn heaved a sigh of relief and asked in a soft voice, "What did the doctor say? How long do you have to stay in the hospital?"
With a playful smile, he replied, "I am the doctor. I have the final say on how long I need to stay here."
She rolled her eyes. "If you don't want to answer my question properly..." She trailed off.
"Okay, relax. The doctor said that I need to be kept under observation tonight. I can get my ass out of the hospital first thing in the morning."
Evelyn sighed resignedly. 'Why can't he just speak normally for once?'
Joshua stood up to leave. "Alright then! I've done enough fun for today and even watched Sheffield make a fool of himself. I'll leave you two alone now. Sheffield, stay put in bed and don't even think about hanging around with different girls. I know you are not a virgin, but please, keep it in your pants for a while. Hold onto your Eve and get some rest."
Before Sheffield could counter, Evelyn looked Joshua in the eye and asked, "What about you, Mr. Fan? Do you hook up with different women?" Joshua froze. It was a direct question from his future sister-in-law.
He was more serious than Sheffield when he promised that he would not race again. "Rest assured, Evelyn. I don't play around with women. I'm a loyal man and will be sincere to my partner until my very end," he promised.
Sheffield thought that this was best time to get back at Joshua. "Eve, don't trust him. He is a liar. You know, he once booked the whole cosmetics floor at Shining International Plaza on a date and told the woman to pick out whatever she wanted."
Joshua rushed towards him and shut his mouth. "What about you? Evelyn, listen to this! Once, a woman claimed that she was pregnant with his baby. And you know what he said?"
'Someone was pregnant with Sheffield's child?' Evelyn frowned without responding. She was somewhat frustrated.
With a mean smirk, Joshua continued despite Sheffield's best efforts to stop him, "This shameless man said, 'Oh, that's a miracle!'"
Evelyn was perplexed. 'A miracle? I don't get it, ' she thought.
Looking at the confused woman in front of him, Sheffield blurted out in a wronged tone, "I never slept with her, and she claimed to be pregnant with my child. What else could I say?"
Evelyn wondered why she had to leave the comfort of her bed in the middle of the night just to hear these two men rake up each other's past. Were they really best friends?
"Oh, don't act like a saint. You are no good!" Joshua said, as he wrestled out of Sheffield's hands. "I gotta go. Evelyn, make sure to teach him a lesson. I am not even bluffing; he used to have a lot of women around him." He stormed out of the ward when Sheffield tried to get out of his bed.
After Joshua left, he said, "Evelyn, I admit that I had many girlfriends. But I've never slept with any of them. I was never serious about those women. None of them were special, and you were the only one who stole my heart."
Evelyn wasn't affected by his words. "Sleep. I'm going home."
Fearing that she would turn around and leave, Sheffield jumped out of the bed and held the woman in his arms. "Evelyn, please don't go. I'll be really upset if you leave me here all alone," he pleaded with a pitiful look.
Evelyn scolded, "Sheffield, could you be serious for a minute?"
He stopped playing around and became serious. Evelyn was cold towards him, as usual. He said, "Okay, you may leave. I will call you if I don't feel well."
"Huh? Why would you call me? I'm not a doctor."
Winking at her with a cunning smile, Sheffield replied, "When I hear your voice, my pain will disappear."
Evelyn couldn't bear it anymore. He just couldn't stop teasing her.
"Do whatever you want," she said and turned to leave.
Sheffield walked up to her from behind and held her in his arms again. "Babe, I didn't even get to kiss you. Babe, say that I'm your darling and I'll reward you with a delicious kiss."
His voice was deep and attractive.
Evelyn instantly blushed at his words.
She looked at the arms wrapped around her. A wicked smile appeared on her face, and she pressed her hand on the bandage. "My darling?" She pressed the wound harder, mercilessly.
Sheffield twitched at the sudden pain, and he bit his tongue to stop himself from crying out loud. "Yeah... Call me... Da—" He was in so much pain that he almost said "Damn," but Evelyn didn't like it when he swore, so he stopped short.
'What was that? Does he want me to call him Daddy?'
She remembered a video she had watched on the Internet. A woman erotically called her partner "Daddy" in bed to excite him. Thinking that Sheffield was teasing her again, she blushed a crimson red and exclaimed shyly, "Sheffield Tang! You are such a pervert!"
