Desires Die Hard

They quickly drafted an agreement.

Since Evan was good at writing contracts and business law, he came up with the agreement in no time.

After spending about 30 minutes in the study, they came to an agreement and signed the documents.

When they were done, Anya took her copy of the agreement and said, “Mr. Welton, we have to go. I can take them for vaccination on my own. You don’t have to give us a lift.” The moment Anya finished her sentence, she hurriedly left the room before Evan had a chance to speak.

She went to the living room and saw Ellie racking her brains trying to coax the children from pulling their wigs off.

Ellie looked at Anya as though Anya was her savior when she saw her coming back. “Anya, can we leave now?” If they did not leave right away, she did not know how to keep the kids calm.

The children were on the verge of yanking those wigs off.

Anya nodded. She walked over and carried Eudora as she said, “Ellie, let’s go back.”

Ellie acknowledged softly before looking behind Anya. She did not see the man walking out, so she quickly carried Nathaniel and prepared to leave.

This time, there were no bodyguards to stop them when they opened the front door, so they left promptly.

Since the bodyguards let them pass, Anya and Ellie wasted no time.

Anya did not dare to knock on Cindy’s door even though she lived across Evan. Instead, she left quickly with her children.

After leaving the apartment and checking to see no one followed behind them, Anya and Ellie heaved a sigh of relief.

They put Nathaniel and Eudora down.

Nathaniel was already tugging the wig. It was itchy and stifling to wear the wig and simply unbearable.

Nathaniel wanted to pull it off now, so he started yanking the wig.

Anya hurriedly stopped him. “Don’t pull it, Nate. You will end up ripping your hair out. Let me help you.”

After Anya offered to help Nathaniel with the wig, he stopped moving.

Anya squatted down to remove the wig for him while Ellie helped Eudora with her fake braids.

They

ey swiftly removed the wigs and bundled them up before tossing them at the nearest bin.

From the looks of it, everything seemed to go as planned.

Ellie could not help feeling worried. She held Nathaniel’s hand as she asked Anya, “Do you think Evan will come looking for

the children again?”

Anya was not sure herself. Judging from her general understanding of the man, Evan was too proud to lower himself and harass her.

He could have any woman he wanted.

Did it have to be her?

Also, the children’s hair sample would definitely not match his DNA.

No matter how much he felt Nathaniel and Eudora were his biological children, the evidence was against it.

Mr. Cornwall had personally collected the children’s hair samples, so she felt Evan would trust his lawyer’s work.

“That’s perfect. Otherwise, I am even considering moving in,” said Ellie after she sighed in relief.

“Don’t worry. We don’t have to move and shouldn’t move either. If we did, it would only make him suspicious,” consoled Anya.

Ellie nodded.

Anya automatically touched Eudora’s hair as she said, “Kids, shall we go to the amusement park today?”

The moment Nathaniel heard her suggestion, he clapped joyfully and Eudora clapped along with her older brother.

Anya looked at their sweet smiles and all the pressure she felt from talking to Evan dissipated instantly.

Sure enough, all she needed were her children to be happy.

Anya held Eudora’s hand as she said to Ellie “Why don’t you carry Nate?”

Ellie nodded.

Since she had only requested a half–day off from Jake, she did not have enough time to take the children out.

She contemplated before calling Jake and requesting to take the rest of the day off as well.
