Desires Die Hard

He Kept His Promise

"Mr. Welton, Nathaniel is running too fast. We couldn't catch up with him," Ellie explained awkwardly.

"It's okay," Evan took Nathaniel in his arms and said, "Hey, little man. What did you just find?"

"This! A little starfish!" Nathaniel happily held up the starfish in his hand.

Evan smiled and said, "This is pretty. Let's go look for starfish together in the next few days, okay?"

Nathaniel nodded and said, "Yeah!"

Eudora held the nanny's hand. When she saw Evan holding Nathaniel, she jealously extended her hand to him and said, "Daddy, hug!"

Evan looked at Eudora dotingly and held her in his arms with one hand.

"Eudora, what did you find?"

Eudora shook her head, and then she took out a small white shell from her pocket. She held it up to Evan and shook it and said, "Daddy, a seashell."

"It's so rare! I can't believe you found this!" Evan asked pretending to be curious.

Eudora nodded.

"It's so beautiful! I like it."

Hearing Evan said that he liked this shell very much, Eudora said happily, "I want to give it to you."

"Thank you, sweetie," Evan kissed her forehead.

Anya came downstairs fully dressed.

When she got to the living room, she pretended to look at Evan in anger, then she took Eudora from his arms and said, "Eudora, let's go find the shells."

Eudora said excitedly, "Yeah!"

"Mommy, I want to go too!" Nathaniel also wanted to go, so he struggled to break free from Evan's embrace.

"Let's go together," Anya smiled and put Eudora down.

Nathaniel nodded, so Evan also put him down. He immediately ran to Anya and kept hugging her legs.

Evan looked at them dotingly. "You guys go ahead. I have to tell Edward something," They had to stay here for about a week, so he needed to ask Edward to arrange their itinerary and accommodation.

"Okay," Anya didn't want to stay with him for now.

Nathaniel almost saw them having sex!!!

So she was annoyed.

After that, she took the two kids and Ellie to the beach.

Evan went to find Edward.

Edward and the servants lived in a row of wooden houses not far from the villa.NôvelDrama.Org content.

Evan found the place where Edward lived just by memory, and then he walked up the steps and knocked on the door.

But no one opened it.

Evan guessed that he was probably preparing dinner for them, so he planned to look for him in the kitchen of the villa.

He walked down.

Then he met the mixed-race girl who had just been peeking outside the villa.

They both froze.

Evan remembered her and asked, "Are you Gracie?"

Gracie was triracial, so Evan was impressed with her unique looks.

"He remembers me?" Gracie was surprised.

Her eyes were a deep turquoise blue, then she looked at Evan and nodded shyly, after which she replied in gentle and not very fluent Cameronese, "Evan, hello."

"It's been a long time," Evan remembered that when he was a mercenary in Fenteon, a comrade who was very close to him died because of a mission.

Before he died, he asked Evan to protect his 16-year-old sister, Gracie.

He was worried that someone might hurt her because of him.

However, Gracie did not have Cameronese citizenship, so Evan did not bring her back. After that, he brought her to the island and asked Edward to protect her, and she was only 16 years old.

It was been several years since then.

He asked Edward every year about Gracie's condition to ensure her safety. He had indeed kept his promise to his comrade in arms.
