Desires Die Hard

Chapter 64

The call from Mdm Welton came out of the blue.

Anya was mildly surprised when she heard the old lady’s voice.

Mdm Welton seemed surprisingly forward.

Anya wasn’t expecting an invitation to lunch over a hat’s design.

Something didn’t seem right here.

She tried not to think too much about it. After a moment of stunned surprise, Anya yanked herself out of her thoughts and replied politely. “Mdm Welton, I won’t stop working on the hat until you’re happy with it. As for lunch…we have a canteen for the staff at Welton Group Tower.”

“But I’m at the lobby downstairs right now. Won’t you join me for lunch?” The old lady appeared to have taken a liking to Anya. She hadn’t forgotten about her since that dinner they had had together.

She seemed insistent on having her get to know her own grandson.

The Weltons were a powerful family in high society but the old lady didn’t care much for the antiquated rules that other folks in high society usually followed.

She didn’t care where Anya came from.

As long as Evan liked her, that was all that mattered.

Of course, those were the old lady’s views. Evan’s marriage was the concern of the entire family. It affected their family’s interests and reputation. It didn’t matter if the old matriarch didn’t care who Evan’s future wife was and where she came

from.

Evan’s parents and Evan’s friends cared deeply. They would not approve of Anya.

But the old lady had her own worries regarding Evan’s marriage.

Marriage seemed like such a distant goal at the moment. All she wanted him
