Desires Die Hard

The moment Anya saw the bodyguards forming a human wall to stop her, she bit her lower lip.

What was Evan trying to do?

Was he making them stay?

Anya instantly felt a little annoyed. She turned to look at the man who had already stood up. “Mr. Welton, I told you. The children have to get their vaccinations done today. Are you planning on interfering?”

Evan looked at her as she threw a temper like a lioness. He could not help contemplating. What was she trying to hide? Was she afraid because they were genuinely his offspring? Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

The more Evan thought about this possibility, the more he did not want to let her leave. “The vaccination center isn’t open yet. What’s the point of going now? I will send you over later.”

He was clearly insisting for them to stay and hang out a little while more.

Ellie instantly looked at Anya worriedly and whispered, “Anya, what should we do now?”

Anya glanced at Ellie as she assured Ellie softly, “Everything will be fine,” said Anya before she looked straight at the dignified and domineering man. “Mr. Welton, you are making things difficult for us. Nate and Dora are just kids, so your bodyguards are scaring them.”

“Hang out at my place for 30 minutes and you can go. Otherwise, you can forget about ever leaving until the paternity test is ready,” said Evan slowly in a calm tone.

Although he sounded calm, his words left Anya trembling.

She certainly did not want to stay here a minute longer.

What if the children started to yank their wigs off?

Anya paused before biting her lip as she racked her brain to come up with a plan.

However, she was unable to come up with anything good, so she could only attempt to delay. “Fine. We will hang out here

for 30 minutes.”

Ellie looked at Anya in surprise when she heard this and said, “Anya, the kids don’t take to strangers well.”

Anya naturally knew what Ellie was driving at.

The children did not take to strangers well and might also blow her cover.

The moment the paternity test results were ready, Evan would really take them from her.

Anya instantly patted Ellie on the back of her hand to assure her. She would come up with something to prevent this from happening. However, she could not be absolutely certain it would work.

“There are snacks by the couch. I think the kids will like them” Evan could tell she was willing to stay, so his stern expression softened up a little,

Evan was particularly enthusiastic about his children.

He had already told the servants to prepare some snacks especially for the children this morning. They were carefully made without any preservatives and perfect for children.

If the paternity test confirmed they were his offspring, he would keep them and give them the best education and living

environment.

Anya glanced at the snacks by the couch. They were exquisitely made, but no matter how pretty they were, she did not feel like giving them to her children.

However, the children were too young to realize this.

The moment they caught sight of the brightly colored cute snacks by the couch on the coffee table, they drooled non–stop.

They blinked innocently as they looked at Anya and Ellie every now and then.

They wanted to have some snacks but were afraid to ask.

Anya had told them not to speak or eat anything while they were here and they had remembered everything she said.

However, those cookies and cakes looked scrumptious and they were dying to give them a try.

Nathaniel swallowed his saliva as he looked at Ellie once more and said with his soft baby voice, “Granny, can I have some

snacks?”

“We are guests, so we can’t have them. I will make you some when we get home, okay?” coaxed Ellie as she squatted down

in front of the children.

However, the kids kept whining about the snacks.

Evan immediately stood up and strode over to the coffee table before he bent over to take two cupcakes. He walked the children, squatted down, and said warmly. “There are plenty of snacks, so help yourself. If there is something else you want, I can get the maid to make more.”
