Desires Die Hard

Anya spent the rest of her day in the amusement park trying every ride they could to make up for not bringing the children

out for almost a year.

Nathaniel and Eudora had a great time at the amusement park today.

At 3:30 pm, Nathaniel and Eudora were so exhausted from all the fun that they laid in Anya and Ellie’s arms and fell asleep.

Anya checked the time and realized it was almost evening, so she carried the children back with Ellie.

The paternity test would take a week to be ready, so all she had to do was wait patiently.

Regardless of how Nathaniel and Eudora’s hair samples were tested, it was impossible for Evan to have any biological ties

with them.

She had nothing to worry about.

The next day, Anya breastfed the children when she woke up before reminding Ellie to give them baby formula in the

afternoon.

She planned on slowly weaning them off breast milk.

After some time, she intended on feeding them something else altogether.

Anya cleaned up and changed into corporate wear after feeding the kids. She walked downstairs quickly to take a bus to work from the bus stop.

On her way to the bus stop, Anya was worried Jake might be there to ambush her and send her to work.

Fortunately, there was no sign of him.

Also, everything went smoothly on her way to the company.

Nothing unusual happened at all.

After arriving at JK Couture, she punched in for work.

Before Anya had even warmed her seat at her desk, Jake came over with his briefcase and said, “Anya, follow me.”

“Mr. Hanson, where to?” asked Anya curiously as she stood up.

The moment she asked, she realized she had a meeting with Dan today about his cousin’s wedding dress.

“Didn’t I tell you? You are taking care of Mr. Baker’s cousin’s wedding dress,” said Jake as he smiled gently.

“I know.” She did not forget, it simply slipped her mind briefly.

“Come on. Mr. Baker is waiting to see us,” said Jake without wasting any time.

After all, Mr. Baker was a man of high status, so they could not keep him waiting.

“At this hour of the day?” asked Anya quizzically as she hurriedly took her bag and followed behind Jake.

Based on her understanding, CEOs of the Nordenic Quartet tended to get to work after 9:00 am, but it was still around 8:30

“Mr. Baker’s time is very important. Just like how busy Mr. Welton is.” The moment Jake brought up Evan, Anya smiled awkwardly without saying a word.

They had arranged to meet at Dan’s usual breakfast spot at a high–end restaurant.

Anya thought they were only meeting Dan, so she felt relaxed as she came over to the restaurant with Jake.

After taking a seat with Jake, Anya listened attentively as Jake and Dan talked about the design.

Anya barely knew Dan, but people had a lot of nice things to say about him.

He was not a cold and threatening CEO.

Now that she had finally met him, the rumor seemed to hold some truth.

Dan even suggested for them to order some breakfast and dine together while he elegantly ate with a fork and knife.

Jake and Anya courteously turned down his offer.

After chatting with Jake, Dan had a sip of espresso before he said, “Mr. Welton will be coming over for breakfast in a minute. I hope you don’t mind.”

“Of course not. It is my honor.” Jake naturally liked the idea of having breakfast with Evan. It was not every day that Jake got to talk to him.

all Evan was

After all, Evan

not an average Joe!

However, Anya frowned on hearing this.

Why was he invited to breakfast?

Then again, Dan and Evan were pretty close, so it made sense for them to have breakfast regularly.

She was unsurprised but just a little uncomfortable.

She had not been keen on seeing Evan recently, but it seemed unavoidable today.

If they could settle the design quickly, she could leave shortly after Evan showed up. Anya promptly interrupted Jake and Dan’s conversation and said, “Mr. Baker, can I talk to you about Ms. Mars‘ wedding dress?”

Dan raised his dark eyes as he smiled ambiguously and looked at the woman who used to be known as the prettiest

woman in town. “Ms. MacMillan, there is no hurry. We can talk about it when everyone gets here.”

Why did he have to be a part of the conversation?

Was he a designer?

Anya did not understand what Dan was thinking.

The moment Dan finished his sentence, Evan showed up. He was cool and dignified as usual. He was dressed in a white shirt and black pants. He garnered a lot of attention from nearby female patrons owing to his gorgeous looks and long legs

when he entered the restaurant.

Naturally, the man promptly took notice of Anya’s presence when he appeared.

Evan narrowed his dark eyes before walking over slowly.

He sat down beside Dan. The waiter beside the table quickly poured him a glass of water and served his meal ingratiatingly

“Why are you so late today?” asked Dan quizzically.

Evan replied mildly, “I was busy.” He glanced at Anya the moment he finished his sentence. She promptly averted her eyes and refused to make eye contact

Evan and Dan chatted without paying any attention to Jake and Anya as though they were air.

Since Jake found it inappropriate for him to interrupt their conversation, he gave all his attention to Anya and poured her a glass of juice.

Anya certainly needed a drink to help calm her nerves since Evan was sitting right across her.

Shortly after Anya took a sip of the juice, Dan turned his glass as he smiled and said, “I heard your assistant talking about ordering children’s furniture. Why are you ordering that? You aren’t even married yet.”

Since Jake did not know what was going on, he did not react.

Evan’s decision to order children’s furniture had nothing to do with him.

Instead, Anya was startled to hear this. She could not help coughing with the juice in her mouth the moment she heard this. It ended up spraying from her mouth altogether.

The juice landed squarely on Evan’s gorgeous face.
