Evelyn didn't want to talk to him anymore. She grabbed her purse and made her way to the door.
Sheffield ran after her and stretched out his arms to block her way. "Baby, can you wait? I need to change."
"No!" Evelyn refused but stopped.

Watching him hang up the clothes, Evelyn asked, "So how did the surgery go? You were in there for awhile."
After hanging his coat in the crook of his arm, he closed the wardrobe and walked towards her. He put his arms around her waist and kissed her on the lips. "Thanks for asking, wife of mine. It went well."
Hearing that, Evelyn was relieved. But at the same time, the gloom on her face returned. "I'm warning you..."
"What?"
"Quit calling me your wife." She rolled her eyes at him, pulled his hands off her waist, and turned around to leave.
"Yes! Miss Huo! I will never call you 'wife' again, I will call you 'honey' instead!"
She turned around suddenly and grabbed his ear tightly, leaving no time for his response. "You don't listen too well, do you?"

An exaggerated reaction, to be sure. But still, he put up such a fuss that Evelyn wondered if she was really pulling that hard. "Are you going to listen, then?"
"Yes." She had tamed him, for a

Rolling her eyes, Evelyn said, "You want to take advantage of me, huh?"
"Guilty as charged, Miss Huo. But... " Then he popped the plum into his mouth and said, "I just changed my mind. Let me feed you." action

When Sheffield walked towards the kitchen, Evelyn said worriedly, "Maybe I should cook." He had been operating on a patient for a whole day. He was probably tired, and so she wanted to cook.
"Can you cook?" asked Sheffield, raising his eyebrows.
Evelyn was stumped. She couldn't.
Honestly speaking, she knew nothing about cooking and had never touched an oven or cooker or anything else. She always had someone else do it.
Feeling her embarrassment, he smiled, "All right. There're snacks on the living room table. Just grab some."
On the table in the living room there were piles of little snack items. Many of them Evelyn had never seen before.
In order to take care of her body, she used to turn down snacks. She even hadn't eaten dried fruit.
