Desires Die Hard

Chapter 154

The towering man approached Nathaniel as he spoke. His voice sounded low and melodic to the boy’s ears.

Evan kneeled on one knee and looked Nathaniel in the eye. The boy felt like a young prince in the presence of his knightly escort. The man’s voice was a low gentle murmur. “Your dad’s here now. No one’s going to pick on you anymore.”

Nathaniel stared at the man before him. It was the stranger whom he had seen at their apartment.

The boy froze. His large round eyes stared stupidly at the man. His mother had warned him to stay away from this stranger. He was dangerous, his mother had told him.

They had to keep their distance from him.

Otherwise, awful things would happen to them.

For a moment, Nathaniel found himself at a loss. He had no idea what to say or do.

He simply stared dumbly at Evan like a lost duckling.

Why was the stranger pretending to be his father?

He knew what his mother had warned him about the stranger. But honestly, he thought the guy was really cool.

He had a team of tall men dressed in black suits following him around.

They stood behind him like his own guard and appeared to be at his beck and call.

It was like something that he had seen in a cartoon a few days ago.

In the cartoon, the king was constantly shadowed by his many guards.

Nathaniel didn’t know what a CEO was. All he knew was that Evan was exactly like the kingly character in the cartoon that he had watched a few days ago. He looked cool and awesome.

He had guards and servants at his beck and call.

Nathaniel wasn’t far from the truth. Evan was an impressive character.

A moment ago, the chubby kid’s father had come running when the fight had broken out between the two boys. The sight of Evan and the train of personal assistants and bodyguards trailing Evan had driven the other kid’s father into sheer terror. The man had grabbed his kid and tried to run.
