Desires Die Hard

Chapter 263

Along the road outside the MacMillans‘ house, the three of them made their way towards Evan’s Bentley. Cindy stopped in her tracks and looked at Anya whose hand was still interlocked with Evan’s. Cindy suddenly felt a little embarrassed as she felt like she was a third party interrupting the couple.

“Mr. Welton… thanks for your help tonight.” Though she was embarrassed, she had to pull Anya out of the situation. “I’ll make a move first with Anya.”

Cindy’s comment got Anya out of her daze. She looked down at the intertwined hands and her face turned pinkish once again. The man’s hand felt warm and rough. He had some calluses on his palm. Anya was not used to holding on a man’s hand, it felt like she was holding on to a hot iron plate.

Anya pulled her hand out of Evan’s grip and laid her other hand over it. As the warmth from Evan’s hand cooled, she said calmly. “Mr. Welton, thank you for tonight.”

“Why thank me?” Evan looked at Anya. He was not displeased that Anya withdrew her hand away. That was when he realized his tolerance level towards Anya had increased again. Concerned, he said, “Better look at your injury and see if it needs tending to. You designers rely a lot on your hands for your livelihood, right? What happened back there though, that made you do whatever you did with your hands?”

Anya did not want to bring up the matter, but Evan had helped her so much. She felt obliged to at least let him know the reason. She bit her lips gently before speaking, “There were some issues with the inheritance that my mother had left behind. I came back to settle the inheritance but I got deceived by them.”

“How much is the inheritance?”

To Evan who had a net worth of tens of billions under his name, her mother’s inheritance of a hundred thousand would be peanuts to him. But with that money, she could provide a better life for Nathaniel and Eudora. “About one hundred thousand. That amount was left
