Desires Die Hard novel (Anya and Evan) novel Chapter 196

Chapter 196 

Anya continued to stand at the balcony and looked down at the passing vehicles on the busy street. She had gradually calmed down from the panic earlier on. Who could be the one who framed her this time? It could not be the manufacturing department’s seamstresses. Was it someone from the company? She had zero evidence and leads that could disclose who the culprit was. 

Anya pondered for a while more before she decided it was about time to make her way down to wait for Mr. Hanson. She recollected her thoughts and walked into the living area. 

Ellie noticed that Anya looked troubled so she thought Anya was brooding over Evan’s visit the night before. Ellie brought the kids out of the room and asked, “Anya, is everything ok? Are you bothered by the incident with Evan?” 

“No.” Anya forced a smile as she did not want Ellie to worry about her. “Aunt Ellie, I am fine. I am going to quit soon. We’ll be moving out of this place as well. Mr. Welton is after all the CEO. Surely, he wouldn’t keep pestering me, right?” 

Ellie agreed to Anya’s point. “Then go wash up and come have your breakfast.” 

“Okay.” Anya nodded and gently caressed the twin’s cheeks before going to the toilet to wash up quickly. 

She settled down to breastfeed the twins first before feeding herself. She was running low on milk supply hence she only latched the kids on once every day. They would have to wean off completely in a couple of days. 

Her mind was occupied by the matter Jake mentioned to her earlier this morning. It was only when Eudora choked on the milk that Anya came back to the present moment. She sat Eudora upright and patted her back. 

After she was done with feeding the twins, she gobbled a few mouthfuls of oatmeal and went downstairs. 

While she was downstairs, Evan sent a text message. [I’ll come pick you up at 8am.] 

Evan was not angry with Anya for the slap she gave him yesterday. Actually, he felt that he had been patient with Anya recently. One possible reason could be that he hardly met a woman who was as intriguing. To that matter, that one slap was no big deal. 

Anya read the message but did not want to reply and just ignored it. She walked to the apartment’s gate for Jake’s arrival. 

She waited for about fifteen minutes and it was soon to be 8am before Mr. Hanson reached in his Audi. 

The car gradually stopped before her. Jake rolled down his car window and asked Anya, Have you eaten your breakfast yet?” 

“Yes, I have eaten.” Anya replied hastily. 

“I haven’t. Is there anywhere around here that sells breakfast?” Jake asked as he alighted from his car. 

“The supermarket nearby sells some sandwiches. There are not many options around here.” Anya showed him the way. 

They walked on the pavement side by side. Jake turned and looked at her. He figured she was still worried about the incident from the look on her face and tried to comfort her. “I believe in you. Don’t think about it too much. All will be clear

after the investigation.” 

Anya nodded her head in silence. She could not think of any solution to the issue at the moment so she could only ask Jake for help. 

They reached the supermarket and Jake bought a sandwich and a small carton of milk. They returned to where the car was parked. 

They reached the car just in time as Evan’s black Bentley drove in. The luxurious car had garnered some attention from by passers as it was not a common sighting in the old vicinity. Just who was the one who owned such expensive car? People gathered around to check out but Evan could not care more as his attention was fully on Anya who was about to get into 

the Audi in front of him. 

Jake started up the engine and drove away.
