Desires Die Hard

Evan walked out of this study right next to the living room and spoke with a deep magnetic voice before Mr. Cornwall could answer her, “Hi, Ms. MacMillan.”

The moment Anya heard Evan’s voice, her heart inexplicably skipped a beat and she swiftly turned. Evan was usually dressed in professional–looking outfits, but he was now dressed in a loose–fitting black bedroom robe.

The robe collar was slightly open and his muscular chest and well–defined collar bones were visible.

Also, his black short hair was slightly disheveled as it fell over his forehead naturally.

Since Evan did not give off his usual cold aura, he seemed inexplicably attractive.

Anya instinctively averted her eyes and stopped looking at his body. She pursed her lips as she said, “Mr. Welton, we are here for the paternity test like you asked. Can we get it done quickly? It’s a busy day for us. Also, my cousin doesn’t feel good about this.”

Evan glanced at her as he contemplated. He did not seem in a hurry to get the DNA test done. Instead, he sat down on the couch languidly. Mr. Cornwall Immediately poured Evan a glass of warm water reverently.

v as usual.

“Didn’t your cousin come along with you?” asked Evan with a deep voice while he looked at her predatorily

“They are abroad, so my aunt takes care of the children,” said Anya calmly as she disregarded Evan’s powerful aura.

Ellie immediately chimed in, “Uh huh. My daughter works overseas.” Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

“Have a seat.” Evan raised his hand and gestured for them to sit on the couch so that they could have a little chat.

Anya was not in the mood to get comfortable. The kids could not compare to adults in terms of patience. For now, they were relatively well behaved. However, they might find the wigs uncomfortable and rip them off anytime.

She did not want her ploy to fail, so she cut to the chase and said, “Mr. Welton, if you want to get the paternity test done, can you do it quickly? I have somewhere to go after you are done.”

Evan asked leisurely, “Where do you have to go?”

Anya went speechless.

“They have to get their MMR vaccinations today.”

Evan did not reply when he heard what Anya said. Instead, he looked deeply at the adorable children hiding behind Anya and Ellie. One of the children resembled him while the other looked just like Anya.

They genuinely seemed like his flesh and blood.

The more Evan looked at the children, the more he was sure of it. However, he would only know for certain after the paternity test.

The more Evan looked at the children, the more he was sure of it. However, he would only know for certain after the paternity test.

If they were not his children, he was not in the position to forcibly take them from her.

After observing the children, Evan veered his eyes and looked up at Mr. Cornwall. “Take the samples.”

Mr. Cornwall nodded before he retrieved a pair of sterile surgical gloves from his briefcase and put them on.

He cautiously walked up to Nathaniel and Eudora and plucked a single strand of hair each from their wigs with Anya’s help before placing them in a clear plastic bag.

“Mr. Welton, I will send it for testing now.” Mr. Cornwall did not dare to linger out of fear he might inadvertently hear more than he should of their conversation.

It might only end up causing trouble for him, so he swiftly took the sample and wanted to leave.

Evan felt fine about it, so he raised his hand to wave at the lawyer and dismissed him.

Mr. Cornwall instantly looked delighted. He took his briefcase and made himself scarce.

Now that Mr. Cornwall was gone, only the three of them remained in the luxurious apartment.

Anya felt it was time for her to leave as well, so she said, “Mr. Welton, can we go now?”

“I prepared some snacks. I think the children will like them.” Evan seemed to instinctively feel they were his offspring.

Anya went quiet.

He surprisingly wanted to keep them.

“Before the paternity test is ready, I hope we can keep a distance.” Anya refused the offer without hesitation. “Mr. Welton, we are leaving for our vaccination. Thanks for having us. The moment Anya finished her sentence, she took Nathaniel and Eudora’s hands and turned to walk towards the door with Ellie.

She did not care what Evan felt.

Evan’s eyes turned dark as he watched Anya leave from behind.

He raised his hand and snapped loudly. The moment Anya opened the door, a few bodyguards dressed in black stood in a row at the entrance to stop her like a human wall.
