Desires Die Hard

“I am glad you know that.” Mdm. Welton took some tissue and wiped the sweat from his brow as she asked, “Oh yes, what do you think about Ms. MacMillan?”

“Anya MacMillan?” Evan put down the soup spoon and looked at Mdm. Welton.

Mdm. Welton nodded excitedly. “Yes. Have you ever considered getting to know her better?”

“Granny, do you like her that much?” The moment she brought up Anya, Evan smiled.

His grandmother naturally adored Anya. Although Anya did not hail from a powerful family, Mdm. Welton liked her nonetheless. “I think she is pretty, good–natured, and sweet. She is a nice girl.”

Good–natured, and sweet?

Evan suddenly felt like laughing. Anya was like a little wild cat in private.

Every time she was annoyed, she would scratch him with her claws.

Perhaps one day after she had submitted to him and became his woman, she might be sweet to him, but she was definitely

not sweet for now.

“Why don’t you try and get to know her?” Mdm. Welton kept probing when he refused to answer.

Evan smiled. “Granny, since you like her so much, I don’t mind giving it a shot with her.”

“Good.” Mdm. Welton felt relieved. “You should have tried dating someone ages ago.”

“Okay.” He genuinely wanted to try dating someone now.

He was not planning for marriage, but he simply wanted to try it out.

Meanwhile, at Anya’s apartment.

Anya took the morning off work so that she could get started with packing. She thought about the posh villa Cindy had offered her and felt bad about moving in.

However, it was imperative for her to move. Otherwise, Evan might keep coming over to the apartment to look for her. She was genuinely worried he might just snatch Nathaniel and Eudora from her one day.

Since she couldn’t take it if it happened, she should move as soon as possible now that she had found a place.

She no longer wanted to drag her feet about the move.

First thing in the morning. Anya started packing. The moment Ellie saw Anya packing, she thought Anya was packing all this stuff for a business trip, so she came over to help. “Why are you packing all this stuff at this hour? Are you going for a work trip?”

Anya shook her head as she said, “I’m not going on a business trip. I forgot to tell you that we can start packing today and

prepare to move.”

“Already? Have you found a new place?” Ellie was caught by surprise.

“I did.” Anya placed a few cotton shirts at the bottom of the suitcase as she said, “Cindy found me a great place. I feel a little bad to take her up on her offer.”

“Where is our new place? Is the rent expensive?” Ellie was puzzled. She already knew Cindy was rich.

“It’s a villa at Oak View Mansion.” Anya felt embarrassed just talking about it. “Cindy didn’t ask for me to pay rent. She said she will move in with us as well.”

“A villa? Are you sure that’s a good idea?” Ellie was a little overwhelmed by the news. Cindy was simply too kind. “That’s Every

generous of her.”

“I feel bad about it too, so I turned down the offer initially, but she insisted,” said Anya as she smiled. “I will make up for it when I earn more money in the future.”

“That sounds more like it. We can’t stay at her place for nothing.” Ellie could not bring herself to take up the offer.

“Yeah.” Anya felt the same way. “Ellie, why don’t you start packing up? I will take the morning off today and go in the afternoon. Let’s pack up the important things first before selling off or throwing away the rest of the stuff.”

“Sure thing. I will get right to it.” Ellie got up and went to her bedroom and started packing as well.

Anya continued squatting in the bedroom packing while her kids slept peacefully.

After packing for some time, Jake called her. Now that JK Couture’s reputation was no longer at risk and the air was cleared, he wanted to buy the designers dinner tonight.

Anya was naturally invited.

Anya was more than happy to go. Since the designers were no longer biased against her, she wanted to hang out with them before she tendered her resignation.
