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.
Anya
a told herself to pull herself together. She couldn’t afford to panic.
She took a deep breath. “Mr. Welton, it’s late. What are you doing in my house? Don’t you find it somewhat inappropriate? You’re intruding on my privacy.”
The young
man stared her straight in the eye. His lips quirked into a ghost of a smile. “I was the one who saved Eudora. I wanted to make sure she’s alright. What’s wrong with that?”

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.”
The woman’s words were sharp with sarcasm.
The look in Evan’s eyes darkened. Without any warning, he leaned in. His towering form was like a looming shadow that surrounded Anya on all sides. The man’s hand shot out and slammed into the wall behind Anya.
Anya found herself unexpectedly trapped within Evan’s arms.
The man’s voice was husky and had a hint of steel to it. “I want another DNA test done.”
Anya’s eyes widened instantly. She stared at the man in front of her with incredulity.
She knew it. He still believed that Nathaniel and Eudora were his kids.
She couldn’t believe that the man was demanding another DNA test.

Anya stared at Evan’s face with terror and shock as the young man steadily leaned into her. Panic threatened to overwhelm her and pull her under.
Before she lost herself utterly to fear and panic, the young woman sank her nails into her palms hard.
Waves of sharp pain erupted from the center of her palms.
They cleared her mind instantly. The young woman pursed her lips. “Do I have a choice in the matter? Am I allowed to turn down your request, Mr. Welton?”
“I believe we signed a contract. You promised not to harass my family after the results of the DNA test were out.”
“Are you going to go against your word, Mr. Welton? I didn’t peg you as a shameless and despicable man who doesn’t keep his word. I must have misjudged you.”
Anya knew her scathing words were going to upset the man and incur his wrath. But she had no other choice.
She didn’t want to lose her kids.
She had suffered so much so that she could have them.
He wasn’t going to steal them from her.
“Am I violating the terms of the contract? I wasn’t aware of that. Perhaps you can enlightenment me, Ms. MacMillan.” Evan leaned in further. The little distance that separated them nearly vanished.
He was so close.

Anya couldn’t get away from the man. His heated breath landed on her cheeks and her lips..
They scalded her skin.
She could smell the sharp scent of cigarette in his breath.
She could smell him.
The young woman bit her lips instinctively.
She stuck her arms out and tried to shove the man away. Unfortunately, that was exactly what Evan wanted her to do. As soon as her palms pressed hard against his firm chest, he caught her wrists and tugged them towards his chest. The force of the pull brought his lips closer to hers. Another step closer and their lips would touch. “Con, explain tohow I’m violating the terms of the contract.”
“This is the first tI’m paying a visit to Eudora. I saved her and wanted to know if she was alright. What’s wrong that? Are you disallowingfrom doing that?”
“Do you think I don’t deserve to say hi to Eudora?”

Evan seemed to make sense. Anya found herself unable to refute the man.
In fact, she couldn’t help but feel a little sheepish. Her cheeks blushed faintly.
It didn’t matter if he were right. He had to go. “Well, thanks for thinking of her, Mr. Welton. As you can see, she’s alright. Can you leave now?”
Evan didn’t seem to be in a hurry to go. He gave her a long hard look before switching the subject without any warning. He started talking about the dinner she just had. “How’s your date with Mr. Granger?”
What was wrong with the man? Why did he bring that up?
