Desires Die Hard

Chapter 189

Honestly, after venting her rage at her son, Mdm MacMillan wasn’t that mad anymore. But she blew up again when he

brought up Anya. The old woman started yelling at her son again, “How dare you! Are you on her side?”

“Do you

know what she did to me? She thinks she can get away with anything!”

“I know,” Cornelius said. “That’s why I think we should leave her alone. Pretend she’s not your granddaughter.

“Silence!” The old lady gritted her teeth angrily. “Look at how your daughter turned out! She nearly destroyed our fanity’s reputation. Now, she’s trying to steal the man that Sydney loves from her. How can I stand by and not do anything?”

Cornelius froze. He had no idea that Anya was trying to seduce Evan. The little sympathy he had for his eldest daughter vanished without a trace. He would always take Sydney’s side. “Is that true, Morn?”

“Why would I lie to you? She’s trying to steal Evan from Sydney. Maybe it’s her way of getting back at us. I won’t let her have her way,” the old lady spat out viciously.

“Okay,” Cornelius said. This concerned Sydney’s happiness. He wasn’t going to get in the way of that. “Mom, do whatever you think is right.”

The old woman’s eyes shone brightly with venom. “I’ll make her suffer for what she did. She’s going to find out the consequences of disrespecting her elders!”

Meanwhile, outside Kaiser.

Evan had collected the keys to his car. He was going to pay a visit to Ellie’s apartment and see Eudora and Nathaniel.

Before he drove away from the restaurant, he called Hayden. Hayden was to cto the restaurant right now and wait outside. If Jamie didn’t give Anya a lift hafter dinner, Hayden was to send Anya home.

Having instructed Hayden on what to do, Evan started the car and made his way toward Anya’s apartment.

He made a pitstop at a shopping mall and got a few expensive toys that he knew were extremely popular with children.

He hadn’t checked on Eudora since her attempted abduction.

He thought he should drop by and see if she had recovered from the incident.

It had been a long while since he had worried about someone. The girl felt like family to him.

The results of the DNA report had said otherwise.

But his instincts told him she was.

He was going to get another DNA test done. If the results remained unchanged, he would give up.

This time, he was going to send the DNA samples to Scarlett Port.

He could trust the professionals in Scarlett Port and the results of the DNA report.

Having arrived at a decision, Evan found the tension in his shoulders easing away. The young man drove his car to Ellie’s apartment

He parked the car, grabbed the toys that he had bought, and headed upstairs.

Ellie was tidying one of the rooms. The twins had just had their milk and were sitting in front of the television set quietly, watching cartoons.

The doorbell rang. Ellie didn’t hear it.

But Nathaniel did. He clambered to his feet and dashed toward the door happily,

But he couldn’t reach the handle. He was too short. He couldn’t open the door.

The boy turned around and started yelling for Ellie, “Ellie…Ellie…”

After stime, Ellie finally heard the boy, She set whatever she was holding down and hurried out of the room.

Nathaniel was pointing at the door. “Mommy…”

The boy thought his mother had chome.

Ellie smiled and tousled the boy’s hair. She opened the door without looking, “Is Mommy back?”

She wasn’t. The person standing at the doorway wasn’t Anya. It was the looming form of Evan,

Ellie froze momentarily. The next second, she tried to slam the door shut in Evan’s face.

Evan stopped her in the nick of time. He kept the door open firmly. “I’m here to see the kids.”

Ellie was no match for Evan. She couldn’t shut the door at all. “Mr. Welton, it’s late… this isn’t appropriate at all.”

“It won’t take long. I won’t take up too much of your time.” Evan pressed on before forcing his way into the house.

Ellie couldn’t stop him at all. She stood in front of Nathaniel and shielded the boy from Evan’s eyes. “Mr. Welton, this isn’t appropriate at all.”

“You seem worried. Why are you so worried?” Evan sounded gentle. But the aura that he exuded was that of an overwhelming authority that forced everyone in his presence to yield to his demands.

“You’re mistaken,” Ellie said as she tried to muster a smile on her face. “It’s late. I don’t think we should be entertaining guests at such an hour.”

“It won’t take long.” Evan placed the toys he had bought on the floor before addressing his next question to the boy hiding behind Ellie, “Nathaniel, do you like Transformers?”

The young man simply wanted to see the children.

He wasn’t going to do anything to the kids until he got another DNA test done.

Nathaniel’s eyes brightened at the mention of Transformers. He seemed a little hesitant though.

The boy lingered at Ellie’s side before he finally caved. He couldn’t resist the temptation of toys. Nathaniel stepped away

from Ellie.

The boy threw a curious look at the big new toy on the floor. It looked amazing.

The Transformer looked incredible,

Nathaniel couldn’t look away.

Ellie saw the look in Nathaniel’s eyes. After sthought, she concluded that she had no way of making the man leave now that he had gotten into their apartment. She excused herself and slipped into the bedroom. She had to call Anya and get her to cback right now.
