Desires Die Hard

Chapter 192

Anya dragged Evan out of the apartment and didn’t stop walking until they stood in the walkway. Then, she released her hold and yanked her fingers back immediately.

Evan wasn’t a fool.

The look on Anya’s face when the young woman had grabbed him had been one of utter panic. Something was going on

here. Evan was no idiot. He could tell.

After Anya had pulled her hand away, the man looked down and stared at her. There were still traces of panic on the young woman’s face. His voice was gentle when he spoke. “You look worried, Ms. MacMillan. What’s wrong?”

“Nothing’s wrong. Everything’s fine,” Anya snapped. She couldn’t help the shiver coursing down her spine as she stared at Evan’s sharp and dark eyes. The aura that the man was exuding was incredibly intimidating.

She couldn’t help but feel overwhelmed by a simple look from the man.

“Are you worried that I’m here to steal your children from you, Ms. MacMillan?”

The conniving man was trying to lure her into saying the wrong thing again. Anya realized there was no way this conversation was going to end well. She bit her lips. “Why would I worry about that? If Mr. Welton wants kids, there’re plenty of women out there who’re willing to give you some. You’ll have no lack of children.”

“Honestly, I doubt you’re interested in my cousin’s children. They don’t deserve you.”
