Desires Die Hard novel (Anya and Evan)
Chapter 166

Chapter 166

Evan spent some time thinking about Lola's pre-wedding vacation spot. Then, he finally pulled his thoughts back to work.

He spent the next 30 minutes buried in work

Comwall, his lawyer, called. “Mr. Welton, Deep-Water Harbor's almost in our pocket. I think we can start commencing work on the land. Let me know your availability.”

“Let's not rush into things so quickly. Shane won't give up that easily. Make sure the legal paperwork for Deep-Water Harbor is all done up and ready.”

Comwall understood what Evan was trying to tell him. His reply showed an equal measure of caution. “Don’t worry, Mr. Welton. I'll make sure everything is taken care of.”

“That's great. Keep working on it,” Evan said. He trusted his lawyer.

“Don’t worry. I know what to do,” Cornwall replied.

Evan hung up. He started twirling the pen he was holding casually. It was obviously an expensive pen — finely made which allowed a smooth and easy grip. The young man stroked his chin thoughtfully. The image of Nathaniel popped up in his head.

He remembered how upset the boy had looked. There had been tears welling in the boy's eyes. Eudora had looked equally miserable despite her quiet and reserved demeanor.

Evan narrowed his eyes. He was convinced that they were his kids but he didn't have any evidence to prove that.

There was no way Evan was going to steal someone's children from them based on a conjecture. He set his thoughts aside. for the moment. There would be time later to think of a way to find out if they were his children.

Meanwhile, back at JK Couture.

Anya had a draft in her hand as she called Lola. She had done the first draft of her design for Lola's bridal gown.

The gown was a long flowing dress that resembled the interplay of light and water in a clear stream. Simple and long dresses were fashionable now.

The topmost layer of chiffon shimmered like water in sunlight and was beaded with countless tiny pearls.

Anya wondered if Lola would like the design.

The call got through within seconds. Anya greeted the young woman cheerfully. “Hi, Ms. Mars. Are you busy at the

moment?”

“I have some time to spare,” Lola replied. She was currently in her dressing room. The makeup artist was doing her makeup.

Tve come up with the first draft of my design for your gown. Do you have time to take a look at the draft today?” Anys asked cautiously as she clutched her phone nervously.

After that incident with the mango cake, Anya couldn't help but feel cautious and nervous every time she spoke to Lola.

She didn't want another incident, after all.

“You're done with the first draft?” Lola hadn't expected Anya to come up with the first draft that quickly. Her engagement

mony was fast approaching though. They had to get the dress done soon. “Why don’t you come over now? I don't have anything lined up for the morning’

“I'll text you the address. You can't share it with anyone though. It's sensitive information. Alright?” Anya nodded profusely even though Lola couldn't possibly see what she was doing. “Don’t worry, Ms. Mars. Protecting our client's privacy is part of our job.”

“I'm glad to hear that I have to go now. Call me when you arrive,” Lola sold before hanging up. The makeup artist continued doing her makeup.

After some time, Dan called.

Lola picked up the call like she usually would. Before she could say a word, Dan started talking. “Ask Anya to join you for your vacation at the historic town the next time you see her.”

The young woman froze momentarily. “Are you asking me to invite Anya to my pre-wedding vacation?"

Dan nodded. “You know what to tell her, don't you?”

Lola knew what was going on as soon as Dan said that. She fluttered her pretty almond-shaped eyes, then smiled brightly. “Are you trying to help Evan out here, my dear cousin?”

"Who else? That man’s been single since forever,” Dan said with a laugh. “I have to go. Make sure to ask her.”

"Sure. I know what to do,” Lola said with a giggle before ending the call. She looked up and stared at her reflection in the Sᴇaʀch Thᴇ ꜰindNʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

mirror.

Her glossy pink lips quirked into smile.

Was Evan serious about Anya? Or was he simply looking for a good time?

Lola had a feeling that it was the latter. The woman that Evan was going to marry had to be someone from an equally respectable family.

But Anya wasn't going to come out on the losing end of the deal even if Evan didn't end up marrying her.

Evan was well known for his generosity.

Anya should count herself lucky for catching his eye.
