Desires Die Hard

Chapter 181

“I’ll drive you home,” Evan said before instructing Hayden to start the car

During the ride back home, Anya was occupied with comforting Eudora and calming her child down. The fact that she had lied to Evan about where she lived completely slipped the young woman’s mind. Even knew that the young woman must be recovering from the terror of nearly losing her child. That was why he kept his silence

He didn’t say a single word during the entire drive.

Realization finally struck Anya when Evan’s car stopped right in front of Ellie’s apartment Block Ban ice where shelved

She had other things to worry about right now. She waited for Hayden to kill the engine.

The young woman pulled the door open immediately. She was womed that Evan might make a grab for her and kee

The young man simply got out of the car after Anya had

Ellie and Nathaniel were waiting at the entrance of the apartment building.

Anya walked up to the building with Eudora in her arms. That was when Evan spoke “Anya, we need

She knew it. He wasn’t going to let her off that easily. After all, he had gone to so much effort just to find out where she really lived

After sthought, the young woman handed Eudora to Ellie before turning around “Thank you for what you did today. Mr.

Welton.”

Evan gave Anya a long hard look. His lips twisted into a ghost of a smile. “I haven’t said a word you seem to know what! want to tell you.”

“They’re not your children. You don’t have a say at all” Anya said calmly. If there’s nothing else. Im gong to now. Eudora’s got a shock. I have to let my cousin know what happened.”

Anya took a step and turned around. She had said her piece. Saying more might reveal too much to the man. Evan wasn’t going to let the young woman go that easily though. He reached out and grabbed her by the wrist. The next moment, was tugging her to his car and pressing her tightly into the flank of the vehicle. His towering form cast a looming shadow over the young woman. His voice was low and husky and his breath almost scalding as they hit the young woman’s tender soft skin. Anya’s skin burned. “I’m not going to forget what happened today if I find out that they are my you prepare yourself. Do you know what I’m going to do to you then?”

Evan wasn’t trying to threaten or frighten Anya. He wanted her to yield to him

Anya was unaffected. Her previous exchanges with the man had taught her well do I guess it’s fortunate that they are not your children then ”

Evan didn’t get into an argument with her. His eyes darkened. Then, he released his hold on the young man and let her go.

This wasn’t like him. What happened? Why did he decide to give her a present?

Anya stared at the box. It wasn’t sealed. Evan must have deliberately ripped the seal open because he was worried that she might return the gift to him. What was the man thinking?

Anya didn’t care. It didn’t matter what he did. She wouldn’t accept the gift.

The young woman placed the box aside. She was going to return the gift to Evan later.

The box accidentally slipped through her fingers then and tumbled to the ground. Out rolled something with a pink strap. That looked like skind of rope.

Anya had been expecting something expensive. She hadn’t been expecting rope.

The woman’s curiosity was piqued. She picked the object up. At first, she had no idea what it was. After reading the manual found in the box, she finally realized what she was staring at. It was a child harness.

The man had put quite sthought into the gift.

An inexplicable feeling unfurled inside Anya’s chest. It didn’t change things though. She was still going to keep her distance

from the man.

She shoved the child harness back into the box. Evan texted her then. She had been expecting it. “Have you received my gift?”

“Yes. Thank you, Mr. Welton,” Anya replied.

“I’m meeting clients later this afternoon. Join me.” The next text from Evan cswiftly.

Anya stared at it silently. She wasn’t part of the secretarial or the media department. This wasn’t part of her job at all.

“Mr. Welton, I’m a designer from JK Couture. I’ll be spending the rest of the day at the textile mill. I won’t be available. Thanks for the invitation.”

Evan knew that Anya would turn down the invitation. He started typing slowly before finally sending out his reply. “It’s the runway show for Dior’s upcoming autumn and winter haute couture collection. It’s starting at one. Are you sure you want to give that a miss?”

The runway show for Dior’s haute couture collection. Every designer would kill to attend the event.

Anya was naturally one of them. But Evan was going to be there. She decided to give it a miss.

Having issued a second rejection, Anya stopped looking her phone. She packed up, then stood up. She had to tell Jake that she was making a trip to the textile mill. She had to get the final touches on Lola’s bridal gown done.

As soon as she rose to her feet, she was greeted with the sight of a familiar face. Mdm. MacMillan, who had left Anya with a threat and hadn’t harassed her for stime, had made an unannounced visit to JK Couture.
