Desires Die Hard novel (Anya and Evan) novel Chapter 76

Chapter 76 

“I’ll have to leave soon. They’re waiting for me at home,” Anya finally said after a long chat with her friend. Her eyes flew towards the clock. It was past nine

She had to go home and put her kids to bed

Of course. You’ve got a kid to take care of now. I won’t keep you then,” Cindy said. She was still trying to get used to the fact that Anya was now a mother

You should drop by Ellie’s place sometime. I’ll introduce you to Nathaniel and Eudora.” 

Cindy froze momentarily. You’ve got two of them? Are they twins?” 

Anya nodded

Cindy felt momentarily overwhelmed

She couldn’t believe it. Her best friend had twins

“I have to go now.” Anya finally rose from the couch. It was time to head back

Cindy got to her feet as well and walked her to the door. You can spend the night at my place the next time you have to work late. It’ll save you some time getting to work the next morning.” 

Anya nodded

Anya shut the door gently, then turned around and headed for the elevator

A soft ding sounded at the other end of the corridor as she headed towards the elevator. The doors to the elevator slid open soundlessly

Evan strode out of the elevator. He had his fingers pinched around the bridge of his nose. Anya, who had been making her way towards the elevator, stopped in her tracks. Evan froze as well

They stared at each other with a stunned look in their eyes

Mr. Welton,” Anya said hastily as she broke out of her stunned stupor before Evan did. She didn’t wait for his reply. Instead, she quickened her pace and made a beeline for the elevator

Evan gave her a long hard look. His hand shot out and wrapped itself around Anya’s wrist as the young woman sped past him. With a hard tug, he dragged Anya back until she was standing right before him again. What are you doing here? Have you been stalking me?” 

Anya didn’t say a word

Honestly, stalking Evan needed guts and she wasn’t that brave

She shook her head. No. My friend lives here.”

Chapter 76 

“I’m the only resident on this floor.Evan had no idea that he had just acquired a new neighbor

That’s not true. My friend lives on this floor too,Anya pointed at the other apartment. That’s her apartment.” 

The crease between Evan’s brows deepened. Stop trying to lie to me. I’ve been living in this building for some time. I’m the. only resident on this floor.” 

Anya knew he wouldn’t believe her

She tried not to get upset about it. I’m not lying and I can prove it. Let me go and I’ll walk right over and knock on the door. My friend will answer the door.” 

Don’t bother.Evan wasn’t interested in listening to anything that Anya had to say. A sudden rush of irritation surged inside him. He couldn’t help the note of hostility in his voice when he spoke again. Do you know Dan Baker?” 

He should have realized that he had gone out of line when that question flew from his lips

He shouldn’t care.. 

He should’ve ignored her

But they kept running into each other and then, his friend had told him that he wanted Anya

And here they were, running into each other again. The series of coincidences stirred up waves of irritation and frustration 

inside him

Anya seemed to attract men like honey to bees

Somehow, that upset him

Dan Baker

Anya froze when she heard the name. She tried her best to remember where she had heard that name

It struck her then. The Bakers was part of the Nordenic Quartet

She had heard of them.. 

But she didn’t really know any of them personally

Anya had no idea why Evan had brought up the Bakers. She simply answered his question honestly. I know that name.”
