Desires Die Hard

Unsurprisingly. Anya failed to revise her draft that night. She fell asleep in Evan’s arms after the bath. She didn’t wake up until she was disturbed by the continual morning calls.

She sat up hurriedly and checked the time. It was already 8 o’clock. Evan was already up for quite a while.

Anya rubbed her eyes and saw several missed calls.

They were from Jake.

She didn’t have to answer these calls to know what they were for her overdue draft.

But Jake was her boss. She had to return the calls after all.

She called back and turned on the speaker as she washed up.

Jake spoke in a slightly loud voice. “Anya, where is your draft? The diva is getting mad with us.”

“I didn’t finish it yesterday. I was caught up in some family issues. But I can make it today.”

It put Jake in a dilemma. They expected to see the first draft yesterday.”

“I know. She told me. They asked for 200,000 dollars as compensation for breach of contract.” Evan came up from behind as Anya said this. He told Jake, T’ll take care of the compensation You can leave it to me.”

Jake was startled by the sound of Evan

“Mr. Welton, good morning.” Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

I’ll call you back.” Evan ended the call for her. “To tell you the truth, this time your real client is my mother.”

Anya paused as she brushed her teeth. “Really?”

I’m not fooling you. You don’t have to take this task seriously.” Evan wiped off the foam around her mouth with a wet towel.

“Okay.” Anya nodded.

If it was true that Gina was behind this, Anya would rather quit it

It was in the villa of the Weltons.

After having breakfast with Mdm, John asked Gina to stay for the discussion of some family issues.

Gina knew he was going to talk about Anya and her daughter, so she put on a tender tone and said mildly, “I know I’ve been a bit out of line earlier, but I’ll change.”

John looked at her face and suddenly furrowed his eyebrows. “With this attitude?”

Gina raised her eyebrows and said angrily, “What? I didn’t say a word when all of you crowded me out. And now I’m willing to change. Is that not enough?”

“You should think about what you’ve done and be a good mother-in-law.” John didn’t get too furious with her for the sake of their marriage, but it didn’t mean he was not angry.

He was shocked by what happened to Eudora.

He could not turn a

“I am thinking. What else do you want me to do?” Gina sneered, flinging her spoon down onto the table. Years of flattery in show business had made her haughty and bad-tempered.

“Do you want me to die?”

“No one wants you to die! We just want you to accept them,” John said with suppressed anger.

Gina sneered, “I said I would change. What are you trying to make me do?”

“Make you?” John felt like he didn’t know her anymore. When he thought of Eudora being diagnosed with PTSD, he could not contain his anger anymore and smacked his hand down onto the table.

He roared. “Do you know Eudora was traumatized by you?”

Gina was scared by his outburst, staring at him in wide-eyed amazement.

“What does that have to do with me? I’m not responsible for her insanity. That’s her problem!” Gina also burned with rage and lashed out at him.

Being exasperated, John gave her a hard slap. “Get out! You want nothing but to bring trouble to our family. I want a divorce.

“What’s the point of keeping such a wife? To ruin our family?” he thought.

“John Welton, I can’t believe you are divorcing me because of the kid of that plebeian girl. Everything I’ve done is for this family, for our son.” Gina gritted her teeth with her eyes turned red and her face covered..

“Fine. Do you want to throw me out because of them? You’re gonna regret this!” Gina looked coldly at her husband who used to dote on her. She glimpsed a pair of scissors on the table..

With one quick grab, she made up her mind and stabbed herself in the stomach with the scissors.

“You want me gone? That’s not gonna happen…”
