Desires Die Hard

Mdm. Welton entered the apartment passcode with a soup canister in hand. The maid saw her while cleaning the apartment, and recognized her instantly, so she came over to greet her, “Mdm. Welton, how do you do?”

“I am here to see my grandson.” Mdm. Welton chuckled as she handed the soup she made to the maid and asked, “Is he up

yet?”

“Mr. Welton is already up. He’s working out at the gym!” The maid carefully took the soup canister and went to put it aside.

She placed it on the dining table before coming back to Mdm. Welton.

“Mdm. Welton, shall I go tell him you are here?”

Mdm. Welton sneered teasingly, “What’s the point of working out every day if he doesn’t have a girlfriend?”

The maid smiled as she said, “Mr. Welton has plenty of choices. Lots of pretty girls show up here every day.”

However, none of them were allowed to come in unless Mr. Welton was well acquainted with them.

“Have sleazy girls been visiting his place again? Mdm. Welton never liked coquettish and trendy young women. She was. always more conservative and preferred decent girls like Anya.

“I would hardly call them sleazy. Most of them are high society young ladies and celebrities,” said the maid.

Mdm. Welton smiled as she sneered once more and went over to the gym with the maid. “Let’s go see him.”

The maid nodded. “Certainly.”

The two of them headed over to the luxurious gym area to see Evan running on the treadmill,

Evan saw Mdm. Welton coming in through the reflection in the mirror and promptly stopped the running machine. He took a towel to wipe his sweat as he turned to say to Mdm. Welton, “Granny, what brings you here?”

“I am here to see if you have found a girlfriend,” sneered Mdm. Welton annoyingly.

Evan could not help laughing. “Are you worried that I can’t find one?”

“That goes without saying.” Mdm. Welton said as she walked over, “I brought you some soup. Come over and have some.” Mdm. Welton said to the maid beside her, “Please serve the soup I brought over.”

The maid acknowledged her and went over to prepare the soup.

Mdm. Welton continued, “So have you found a girlfriend yet? The maid was just telling me about the seedy girls who come knocking on your door. I hope you know better than to mess around!”

Evan rubbed his brows. He could feel a headache coming on. “Do you think I am that sort of man?”

“Of course not.” Mdm. Welton had absolute faith in him, but he refused to find a steady girlfriend, so she could not help

“I will introduce one to you by the end of the month.” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

Mdm. Welton glanced at him in disbelief. “Really?”

“Of course it’s true. Didn’t I already tell you about it previously?” Evan did not know what to do about his grandmother. “I promise to bring her over soon.”

“Okay, I will trust you this once.”

“I will go drink your soup now,” said Evan as he walked into the living room with Mdm. Welton.

The moment he brought up the soup, Mdm. Welton got excited. “This time, I added deer antler in your soup. It’s very nourishing.”

Evan went quiet.

Had it dawned on his grandmother she might have gone overboard with all this nourishment?

He was not even 30 years old. To be precise, he was only 28 years old, so he was too young for tonic.

However, he appreciated the gesture.

He walked over to the living room with Mdm. Welton to drink the soup she made him.

Mdm. Welton said while he drank the soup, “Don’t let random girls into your apartment. It’s bad for your reputation.”

Evan smiled. “Got it.”

A lot of women often came over to his place, but he never once let them through the door.
