Take My Breath Away

Evelyn cut in to stop Gwyn. "Sweetie, Dad was just kidding. You can't call Uncle Gifford that." Then, she turned to Sheffield, "How could you be such a bad example to your daughter?"

Gifford echoed her, "Yes Gwyn, your mom is right. Come here, little cutie, give me a hug!"

For a short while, it seemed like Gwyn was hesitant, and then she stretched out her small arms to Gifford.

Holding the little girl in his arms, Gifford was very careful with his every move. He scolded Sheffield quietly, "Some friend! How could you not tell me that you have a daughter? And a cute one at that too! I didn't even prepare a red envelope for Gwyn!"

Sheffield rolled his eyes at him. "In my defense, I just recently found out that I'm Gwyn's father. So how could I have told you earlier?" If he were being honest, Sheffield still couldn't believe that Gwyn was his daughter. Every time he saw the little girl, he felt as if he were dreaming.

"Yeah, yeah! I damn believe you!" Gifford sarcastically said while he glared at Sheffield. He then turned his attention to Gwyn as he carried her to the sofa. With a big smile on his face, he said, "I'm sorry, Gwyn, I didn't prepare any gift. Next time, I will come and see you with a red envelope, okay?"

Gwyn didn't understand what he was talking about. Only when she heard the last word did she reply enthusiastically with one word—"Okay."

"My goddaughter is so sweet!"

Meanwhile, Carlos had been waiting for them to stop talking. Once Sheffield and Gifford were done, he waved at Sheffield without any expression on his face. "Come here."

Sheffield and Evelyn exchanged a look before walking towards Carlos together.

Sheffield then greeted the others formally, "Hello, Uncle Carlos, Aunt Debbie, Uncle Wesley, Aunt Blair, Matthew, and Erica. I'm Sheffield Tang, a good friend of Gifford's, Evelyn's fiance, and Gwyn's father." He made his identity clear for everybody.

When Gwyn heard him call her name, she called back, "Daddy!"

"Good girl!" Sheffield turned and winked at his daughter.

Debbie was thrilled to see her son-in-law-to-be. She warmly smiled at Sheffield and said, "Sheffield, have a seat."

Blair scrutinized Sheffield from head to toe before asking Debbie, "He seems like a good man. Why would Carlos stop Evelyn from being with him?"

"He just wants trouble!" Debbie exclaimed, annoyed at the thought of what Carlos had done to mess with Evelyn's relationship with Sheffield. Once Sheffield and Evelyn sat down, Debbie placed all of the food in front of them.

Meanwhile, Wesley didn't actually have a good impression of Sheffield since he had seen him flirting with another woman. While looking Sheffield in the eye, he provoked him. "Why don't we go outside and settle this?"

Sheffield looked in a panic. "No, no, I wouldn't dare! Uncle Wesley, your skills a

e with Sheffield.

What confused her even more was that she was sure Carlos wasn't putting on an act. After all, the people present were very close to the Huo family. There was no need to pretend.

By then, Matthew had taken Gwyn from Gifford. So Gifford had the time to help Sheffield. With a serious tone, he said, "Uncle Carlos, Aunt Debbie, although at times Sheffield seems childish, he is a good man. Our years of friendship can attest to that. Ever since he fell in love with Evelyn, I've never heard him mention any other woman. He really loves her. Please let them be together. He'll make Evelyn very happy."

Carlos didn't respond.

Needless to say, Debbie had always been on Sheffield's side. With a content smile on her face, she said, "I know. I truly believe that Sheffield will treat Evelyn very well."

Sheffield thanked his future mother-in-law in his heart. He vowed that he would treat Debbie with filial love and respect, just like how he had treated his own mother.

Of course, he would be filial to Carlos as well. After all, Carlos would be his father-in-law very soon.

Being a cold and arrogant man like Carlos, Matthew never talked much. But at that moment, while holding Gwyn in his arms, he said, "Dad, you've been hard on me for the past twenty-one years of my life. Now that Sheffield is going to be part of the family, it's time for you to bully someone else. I need a break."

"Ha-ha." Gifford burst into laughter.

He realized that Matthew was even more miserable than him. Wesley was only strict with him in training, but he didn't belittle his son. Carlos, though, not only trained Matthew, but he was strict with him in every aspect. Nothing his son did was good enough for him.

Carlos gave a burning glare at Matthew and snapped, "You wish! I'll bully the two of you together!" In the days to come, he would have two men as his punching bags.
