Desires Die Hard

“Did something happen to the kids?” Evan was an intelligent man. He quickly connected the dots and figured out something must have happened at home if Anya had to suddenly leave without saying a word.

“Of course not. My cousin’s children are perfectly fine.” Anya glanced at Eudora who seemed completely clueless about the situation. She was worried Eudora might suddenly say “mother” again, so she hurriedly said, “Mr. Welton, I really have to

go.”

“I will come over in a minute,” said Evan before he hung up without waiting for Anya to answer.

The moment he hung up the phone, Anya’s right eyelid twitched ominously.

This was absolutely annoying. Why was he so persistent? He was not in love with her and simply wanted to find a woman to sleep with, so Anya found his actions inexplicable.

She bit her lip and could feel a headache coming on.

Evan knew her previous address. Since she had moved, it was impossible for him to locate her.

However, this meant he would find out about her move in no time. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

However, she could no longer be bothered to keep the truth from Evan. Since she was going to quit her job at JK Couture soon, she no longer needed to act submissively around him.

Anya did not have the time to worry about this and had to focus on Eudora.

Anya looked at the end of the corridor as she carried Eudora. She wanted to go over and check if the CT report was ready when Ellie and Nathaniel finally came back with the yogurt. The two of them walked up to Anya before Ellie handed Eudora a bottle of yogurt and said, “Dora, would you like to have some yogurt?”

Since Eudora saw her older brother drinking yogurt, she naturally wanted some as well. After she obediently nodded, Ellie stuck a straw into the yogurt bottle before handing it to her.

“Ellie, Evan is going to our old apartment in a minute,” said Anya as she looked at her aunt.

Ellie was at a loss and did not quite catch on to what she was saying. “Why would he go to our old apartment?”

“Evan just called and heard Dora’s voice over the phone. He never stopped giving up on the idea of getting the paternity test redone.” Anya sighed before she continued anxiously. “I’m so worried about him forcing the kids to get their DNA test done. He said he wanted to get the test done in Scarlett Port. If he insists on doing that, it is impossible for me to give him false hair samples.”

“Anya, don’t worry. You will be quitting soon, so he probably won’t come after you.” Ellie was certain that all their problems would be solved the moment Anya stopped working for Welton Group.

However, Anya did not feel the same way. As long as Evan remained suspicious of the children’s paternity, he would never give up.

“Never mind. Let’s go check on the CT report first.” Anya felt she had to be even more cautious from now on.

Ellie nodded.

Meanwhile, at the boxing ring on the other end of town:

Evan quickly took a shower in the changing room before heading to Anya’s old apartment.

He had been to the apartment a few times, so he knew his way around and went upstairs right away to press the bell.

Regardless of how long he pressed the bell, it seemed completely quiet inside and no one answered the door.

Evan could not help feeling puzzled. He looked at the gates quizzically as he contemplated before he continued knocking on the door.

After knocking a few times, the residents living across the hall started to find the noise annoying. They opened the door and wanted to scold the culprit and ended up seeing a tall, gorgeous man standing outside.

Evan was so good looking that the middle–aged lady living across the unit could not help staring.

After the middle–aged lady snapped out of her daze, she beamed as she asked, “Who are you looking for?”

“Aren’t they home?” asked Evan as he turned to look at the lady.

“Oh them? They have already moved out,” replied the middle–aged lady enthusiastically.

Evan frowned. Have they moved? Weren’t they still around a few days ago when he came? How could they move so quickly? “Do you know where they have moved to?”

“I don’t know either. They were strange folks…” The middle–aged lady naturally did not know where they had moved to. “They were not very sociable, so I don’t even know their names. I just moved in last year and don’t know much about them.”

“Thanks.” Evan contemplated for a few seconds before he went downstairs.
