Desires Die Hard

“Anya…those children…?” Jake curiously asked when he entered with the fruit basket.

Those children looked extremely beautiful. They looked like celebrities.

The only thing was, he was wondering why the little boy looked a little familiar to him.

He resembled someone he knew.

As Jake took a good long stare at Nathaniel, he just somehow felt like he resembled someone he knew.

“Who does he resemble though?‘

However, Jake was unable to recall who that might be.

“What are you doing here, Mr. Hanson?” Anya asked. She felt as if her heart had leapt to her throat in that instant as she watched him approach her. She then secretly eyeballed her aunt to carry her children away while she stuttered, “They’re…my cousin’s children.”

“I came to visit you after work.” Jake smiled as he placed the fruit basket on the cabinet next to her. He continued, “Are you better a little better?”

“I’m feeling a lot better. Thanks for caring. Mr. Hanson.” Anya replied as she stared at him with a nervous gaze. She pouted her lips and wanted to send him away by saying, “Well then… since I’m feeling pretty fine now, you can head on home now,

Mr. Hanson.

“Oh, I have nothing to do at home anyway.” Jake replied as he completely missed how Anya wanted him to leave. He thought that she was only feeling bad for him to come over to visit her and was embarrassed by it.

His expressions grew more gentle as his gaze shifted to her aunt and her children that was beside her.

“Oh, who might this person be?”

Is she was

“She’s my aunt. She’s basically my cousin’s mom. I’m currently living with my aunt.” Anya replied immediately as feeling so nervous that her heart had almost leapt out of her chest..

If she had known earlier, she would never want her aunt to come over.

“Greetings aunty.” When Jake learned that she was Anya’s aunt, he immediately greeted her politely. “I’m Jake Hanson, the director of the design department in Anya’s company”

“Oh, greetings Mr. Hanson,” Anya’s aunt gave him an awkward smile while hugging the children tighter. She then said, “Thank you for taking the time off work to visit my Anya. Thank you, truly.”

“Oh, don’t mention it, aunty.” Jake replied. Since he wanted to make himself seem more impressive in front of Anya’s aunt, he instinctively acted like a warm gentleman. He continued with a smile, “I bought some fruits aunty. Do you want me to peel some oranges for the children?”

“These are imported oranges. It’s really sweet and it’s rich with vitamins. It’ll be good for the children’s health.”

“Well then, since I don’t have anything to do at the moment, why don’t I peel an orange for the children? Jake grabbed an orange from the fruit basket the instant he finished saying that.

Both Anya and her aunt were speechless. Although it was not a bad thing to be warm, he seemed to be behaving a little too warm towards them at the moment.

Nathaniel and Eudora on the other hand though, both of their eyes instantly lit up when they heard that there were delicious fruits to be eaten. They were staring at Jake with a painful and sad gaze while he peeled the orange on the side.

He then split the orange into two halves.

The little rascals dared not accept any good food from the stranger without their mother’s or Anya’s aunt’s consent. This was what their mother told them about.

Their mother told them that there were plenty of bad people out there and they should not simply accept snacks from strangers or else, they would have an upset belly and be sent to the hospital. Since Nathaniel and Eudora were mortally afraid of going to the hospital because it was a place where they would get their injection shots and it was extremely strong with the scent of disinfectant, they dared not accept so brazenly.

They had to get their mother’s permission even if they really wanted to eat it. They were staring at Anya with a sad gaze.

Anya was afraid of the little rascals calling her their mother in front of Jake, so she immediately told them when they shifted their gaze to her, “Hey Nathaniel, Eudora, you guys can eat it but you need to

say thank you when you accept your fruits from him.”

After getting their mother’s permission, both Nathaniel and Eudora gleefully accepted the orange slices from Jake’s hand.

Since Nathaniel knew how to speak, he thanked Jake with a childish voice, “Thank you…uncle.”

However, Eudora did not know how to speak yet and all she could do was give Jake a cute little nod like her brother.

When Jake noticed how adorable those children were, and guessed that they should be quite young then.

They truly looked so adorable that they made him want to have children of his own.
