Desires Die Hard

“Let’s go aunty,” Anya exclaimed. She dared not stay behind any longer after hearing what the customer had just said.

She felt extremely nervous as she frantically opened the door for her aunt.

Fortunately for her, Nathaniel was quite the bright and obedient child. He simply remained silent after noticing how anxious.

his mother was.

He was wondering if something had happened to his mother.

eded to

He needed to be obedient and not trouble his mother more..

Both Anya and her aunt were relieved to see how silent Nathaniel was.

Evan already had his suspicions when the duo were pushing the stroller out the store. It seemed that the child resembled him so much that it was literally uncanny. Would such a resemblance…not raise his suspicions?

“Hold on a second, Anya, Evan called out to her before they could walk out of the glass door.

“Mr. Welton? Is there a problem?” She turned around and asked in a firm tone. Since she had not resigned from her job yet, it was only natural for Anya to pretend to be polite towards him.

“Are those…your children?” Evan asked with his brows raised as he slowly approached them.

A towering man instantly stood in front of Anya and Nathaniel.

It seemed that Nathaniel was carefully observing the attractive looking man.

‘Who is that man?‘

‘What kind of a relationship does he even have with mommy?”

In comparison to the bright’Nathaniel, it seemed that Eudora was a much more polite and shy person. When she noticed Evan approaching them, she hid behind her brother while grabbing onto the corner of her brother’s shirt. She was also secretly glancing at the menacing looking man.

Anya was shielding the children behind her as she replied in a calm tone, ‘Of course not. They’re my aunt’s.” It seemed that Anya’s palms were sweating when she replied.

A layer of sticky sweat covered her palms.

Only the heavens knew that she was feeling beyond terrified at the moment.

She was afraid of Evan being suspicious of her and was also afraid that he might think that the children were his and would snatch them away from her.

“Really?” Evan asked. He obviously did not believe her.

However, as much as he was unconvinced, he still had no idea where those children came from.

Perhaps he just found it odd to see a child that resembled him so much.

“Why don’t you believe me, Mr. Welton? How would I have children when I’m not even married yet?” Anya replied as she cracked an awkward laugh before crouching over and caressing Nathaniel’s chin as she said, “Oh Nathaniel, could you tell this man if I’m your aunt?”

Nathaniel had no idea why his mother had to say that.

However, since he was a bright child, he would do whatever his mother told him. So, he called out to Anya obediently, “Aunty.”

“Look, he’s calling me his aunt. Do you believe me now, Mr. Welton?” Anya exclaimed as she breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately for her, her son was a truly bright child or else her children might actually be snatched away.

Evan chuckled as he stared at her with a much deeper gaze. It was as if he was asking her if she thought of him as a complete fool.

‘How was that a reasonable explanation?”

“Anya, he truly resembles me. Don’t you tell me that my genes are also mixed with your cousins‘ to give birth to them now.” Evan squinted his eyes as if he absolutely wanted to understand the entire situation since having illegitimate children was not something to be joked about.

‘What kind of a logic is this?”

Anya was annoyed at his logic.

Anya composed herself before replying the man with a calm tone. “Mr. Welton, plenty of people in the world resemble each other. The only thing is my aunt’s children just coincidentally resemble you a little, you know.”

“We still have things to do, Mr. Welton, We’ll be on our way now.”

Anya turned around and hastily strode out of the bakery with her aunt and her children after she finished saying that.

Evan did not go after her as he simply stared at their backs through the window from inside the shop. He pondered in silence for a brief moment before taking out his phone to call Hayden.

He needed to do a paternal test in order to believe what she had told him. Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

look back, Evan would follow her.

They only stopped when they arrived at a corner by the bakery.

“He saw them, Anya. What are we going to do?” Her aunt spoke in a frantic tone while taking a glance at the obedient children in the stroller.

“He wouldn’t be fooled that easily,” Anya replied. Although she did not interact with Evan that much nor did she understand him, she did have a crush on him back then. However, she only had a crush on him because he looked handsome to her.

It was merely a simple meaningless crush.

The truth was that she realized he was not someone that any woman could simply manipulate after interacting with him several times before.

Not to mention, he was a seasoned businessman too.

He was not a naïve man in his twenties who was prone to being foolishly manipulated or easily fooled.

Anya felt that if Evan was starting to be suspicious of something, he would do his best to try to verify his assumptions.

The most probable thing he would do was to think of a way to get a paternity test done.

“What are we going to do, then?” Her aunt had no idea what to do. That was because she was no longer in a position to oppose the Welton family anymore. It was only natural for her to be worried about Anya’s children being snatched away.

Anya had fought for her life to give birth to both of her children.

Both she and Anya would not be able to accept it if her children were taken away by someone else without much effort.

“It’s okay, aunty,” Anya replied as she composed herself. She did not want her aunt to be anxious about her, so she reached out and patted her shoulder and said, “The most he would do is a paternity test. I’ll think of a way to interfere with the paternity test then.”

“How do you plan to do that?” Her aunt curiously asked as she did not know what Anya was planning.

“You’ll know when the time comes, Anya replied while crouching down. She then patted her children’s heads and spoke with a smile, “You’re awesome earlier, Nathaniel. I need to reward you,”

Nathaniel was shocked. Although he had no idea why his mother wanted to reward him, he was still extremely delighted as he cheerfully called out to her, “Mommy, mommy…

After hearing her brother calling out for her mother, Eudora called out to her mother as well.

This melted Anya’s heart completely.
