Desires Die Hard

“Aw Anya, your cousin’s children are really adorable.” Jake replied. It seemed that Jake truly adored those children from the bottom of his heart. He could not help himself but to pat their adorable little curly hair.

‘Those kids are too beautiful.

If they were to become an artist or a celebrity in the future, they would no doubt be liked by everyone.

“Yeah, they are extremely adorable indeed.” Anya replied. She was afraid that her children might call her mother if he was to continue asking.

She bit her lips and told him to leave, “Hey…Mr. Hanson, it’s getting late.”

“Isn’t it still early?” Jake asked. He knew that she might be feeling shy since her aunt was there.

He was not bothered by it, so he continued, “Oh, that’s right, I’ve taken care of the incident that you wanted me to contact the authorities for. Police officers will come over to get your statement later.”

Before Anya could say anything after he was done saying that, her aunt was completely confused as she asked, “What happened, Mr. Hanson? Why must you contact the authorities?”

‘Was she not just having a simple upset stomach?”

‘Did something happen to her at her office? Why didn’t Anya not tell me?

“Oh aunty, the thing is… Jake wanted to answer but he was cut off by Anya as she said, “Oh it’s nothing Ellie, it’s just work related stuff. It involves some private matters, so we had to contact the

authorities. The client wants me to be responsible for it but it’s nothing. It’ll be fine after a statement is taken.”

“Oh, work related matters?” Her aunt replied as she felt relieved. Everything would be fine as long as it did not involve her

Anya.

Anya nodded and after some thought, she realize that Jake would no doubt be a ticking time bomb if he was to continue to remain there. She told Jake, “Hey Mr. Hanson, let’s talk about work outside?”

“Can you get out of bed?” Jake asked. He was no fool as he knew that she did not want her family to know about the incident since she cut him off earlier.

“I can. I’m pretty much fine now.” Anya replied as she got out of bed. She then told her aunt while getting out of bed, “Hey aunty, just play with the kids here for a while. I need to talk about work with Mr. Hanson outside.”

“Are you sure you’re okay?” Her aunt asked. She did not mind Anya to talk about work, she was just worried about about

her.

“I’m fine. Look at me, I can still walk. Anya replied as she put her slippers on and walked a couple of steps around the room. However, although she seemed to be fine on the surface, she was actually feeling quite weak. Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

feeling a little uncomfortable then. Her body felt weak too.

However, she was still able to keep herself composed.

After her aunt noticed that she was indeed alright, she nodded and allowed her to get out.

After Anya and Jake arrived at the hallway outside of her room, they sat down on a random bench against the wall.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Hanson….I just didn’t want my aunt to worry.” Anya whispered in a soft tone after scanning the area and making sure that there was no one present.

“I understand.” Jake replied while staring at her with a gentle gaze. It seemed that Anya still looked incredibly beautiful even when she was ill. He then said, “I’m so sorry that I wasn’t aware of the surrounding.”

“It’s fine.” Anya shook her head and asked, “When will the cops arrive, Mr. Hanson?”

“They should arrive soon. Should I accompany you while you wait for their arrival?” Jake asked as he looked at the time on his wristwatch. He then continued to say, “The truth is, it’s nothing major. All they wanted to ask is the details about the water that you drank,”

“They’ve taken the company’s surveillance footage too.”

“Alright.” Anya replied as she nodded and waited for the police officers to arrive with Jake.

In Welton Group’s president’s office, Evan got lost in staring at Anya’s picture when he received it from Hayden.

The young lady in the picture. She looked pale but her illness still was unable to hide her natural pure beauty. Any men who had seen her would want to appreciate her well.

Evan’s gaze dimmed as he silently stared at her picture. If she was willing to be with him, she would never have to endure such harm from people.
