Desires Die Hard

“Let’s get more oranges so that you can have them when you get home.” Evan instinctively wanted to indulge Nathaniel and Eudora. He did not know the reason why, but he simply wanted to give them the best whenever he saw those children.

Nathaniel got so excited that he shouted and clapped in joy at the prospect of buying lots of oranges.

He was so adorable that the shop owner was completely tickled. She praised them as she bagged the oranges enthusiastically, “Your kid sure is handsome. After selling fruits here for so long, I have never seen such a good–looking.

kid.”

“I am certain he is going to grow up to be just as handsome as his father,” praised the shopkeeper as she bagged a dozen oranges and beamed brightly. “Do you want some honeydew? They were freshly imported today. Since they are very sweet, it is a hit with children.”

Evan did not mind buying some honeydew. “Sure.”

However, Anya felt annoyed. How could he spoil Nathaniel to no end? She hurriedly stopped the shopkeeper and said, “It’s fine. Just the oranges will do fine.”

Even though Evan was cold and unapproachable on the surface, she could tell he was indulging with children. How could he spoil them to no end? She was now glad that she gave him fake hair samples for the paternity test. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

If her children were taken by him, Nathaniel and Eudora would definitely end up growing into privileged brats.

No way on earth she was going to let that happen!

“How can those oranges be enough? The moment he gets hungry, he will finish the oranges in no time. You should get some honeydew and peaches as well” The shopkeeper could tell Evan was a rich man.

After all, the man was dressed in a suit and pants like an office worker and wore a black watch on his wrist. Although she did not recognize the extravagant watch, she could see it was exquisitely made.

People who dressed like this generally had money and could afford to buy more fruit.

“I already said no. I have to do as my cousin says!” When Anya kept insisting on abiding by her cousin’s wishes, Evan could not help smiling.

Did she want to prove Nathaniel and Eudora were not his children so badly?

“Erm… Well…” The shopkeeper got startled by Anya. She rolled her eyes a little and said, “Fine, okay. You didn’t have to get

so serious about it.”

“All done. The oranges cost $4.50.” The shopkeeper rang up the fruit and handed the receipt to Anya. Just as Anya was about to pay, Evan snapped his fingers and a man in black promptly appeared to pay for them.

He appeared so suddenly that even the shopkeeper got startled.

Also, the bodyguard automatically took the bag of fruit after paying.

Evan said mildly, “Do you want to get anything else for Nate?

Π

“No, thanks. Let’s go upstairs.” Anya was worried Nathaniel might cave in and blow their cover if they stayed out for too long. “I’m starting to feel a little sick.”

Evan checked the pallor of her face. Since she had just recovered, he did not insist and followed her as he carried Nathaniel upstairs to the hospital ward.

Before they got back to her room, Evan thought about the polsoning Incident and asked, “How is the police Investigation coming along?”

“Someone deleted the surveillance footage, but they don’t know who did it.” Anya was happy to talk about work.

In fact, she was happy to talk to him as long as it was not about personal matters.

“What did the IT department have to say about this?”

“They don’t know how our surveillance footage got deleted either,” said Anya candidly.

Evan acknowledged softly as he frowned slightly and pondered.

Was someone capable of deleting Welton Group’s surveillance footage?

Who on earth was the culprit?

Even without Anya, he now wanted to get to the bottom of this situation.

Someone was able to delete surveillance footage from Welton Group. Did that mean it was an inside job?
