Take My Breath Away

At first, Evelyn's heart sank, but then after a while, she heaved a sigh of relief.

She hoped that Sheffield wasn't lying.

While recalling the past, Sheffield said in a calm voice, "Let me just try to remember who saw me lying in the same bed with Kaylee. Oh, everyone! Yes! Everyone in the Tang family saw us. Everything happened too fast at that moment. Before I knew what was happening, Sterling was furiously dragging me out of the bed and beating me up. My father was also very furious. He not only let Sterling hit me, but also asked his eldest son, Willis, and his second son, Pierson, to teach me a lesson. At the same time, the women of the Tang family began to taunt and curse me. They said that I became such an insolent person because I was a child who didn't have a mother to discipline me. Peterson's third child, Sandra, said that I might not be a member of the Tang family after all. How could they have such a shameless child like me? She just wanted to hint to my father that my mother had an affair with someone else and I was not his biological son."

While she listened to Sheffield, Evelyn's heart broke more than she thought it could. She even began to tremble a little.

However, Sheffield was very calm as if he were just telling someone else's story. Evelyn couldn't imagine what he had to go through. It was so painful to hear. It was as if she could feel what he had felt back then. It must have been so tough to be accused like that by his own family.

At that time, he was only a teenager, but he had to bear so much agony and suffering.

She carefully moved Gwyn a little. Her daughter had been sleeping soundly for a while now. Then, she laid her head on Sheffield's arm, held him and said, "Forget it. I trust you."

With a gentle smile, Sheffield stroked her long hair. "I know. You're just jealous. It's normal to feel that way."

Evelyn didn't deny it and only nodded her head as a response. She loved him so much and he loved her back. More importantly, they were both certain about each other's love, so it was not shameful to admit that she was jealous. It was only further proof that she truly cared about him.

"From the moment I was born, I have been like a thorn in Sterling's eyes. And only because we have the same father but different mothers. I'm certain that it was Sterling and his wife who set me up. They wanted me out of the Tang family or beaten to death by my father.

My father's first wife gave birth to two sons and one daughter—Willis, Pierson, and Sandra. However, while she was giving birth to Sandra, she died of labor dystocia. His second wife, Sterling's mother, also gave him three children. She has two sons and a daughter. Her daughter is the eldest among the three. Later on, she divorced my father. From what I heard, she's n

"

"So you do know that you're very sure of yourself," Evelyn mocked. When she first met him in D City, Sheffield was already quite shameless.

Holding the woman tightly in his arms, he sighed, "Of course! That's what we should do. We should know ourselves and be confident about it!"

"Okay, you win!"

Sheffield rolled over in bed and pressed her against it. Knowing what he was about to do next, Evelyn pointed at their daughter and softly said, "No! Gwyn is here."

"It's fine as long as we keep quiet." He hadn't had sex for a long time, so he was desperate to do it with her.

"No. She usually wakes up in the middle of the night. She has to either go to the bathroom or drink milk. Don't?..." Evelyn stammered, a little embarrassed.

In fact, she was lying. Gwyn seldom woke up at night, except for that particular period of time after she had just been abducted and rescued. The truth was that Evelyn didn't want a third person present in bed while they did their business, even if the child didn't know anything.

More or less, Sheffield knew what was on Evelyn's mind. After rolling off her, he kissed her on the lips, a little too strongly, as if trying to make up for intimacy.

Turning off the bedside lamp, he suddenly remembered an important thing. "What happened to Gwyn? Why does she have PTSD? Has she been this way since birth?"

At the mention of Gwyn's situation, Evelyn buried her head in his chest and explained, "No. She was very healthy and active when she was just born. Something happened before. It was one of the servants in the manor."

Although it was a thing of the past, still, Evelyn thought that Gwyn's father had the right to know.

When Gwyn was several months old, she was kidnapped by the maid who had been taking care of her. It was a normal day and they were casually playing outside when the maid took her.
