Desires Die Hard

Evan was mortally terrified of receiving Mdm. Welton’s calls.

That was because the only reason why she would call was to rush him to get married and have children. This annoyed him a lot.

However, as much as he was annoyed by it, Evan still respect Mdm. Welton very much. He picked up the call as soon as his assistant pushed the floor button for him in the elevator.

Once the call was connected, Mdm. Welton, who was walking her golden retriever in the garden of her mansion, immediately hinted at her grandson that she wanted a great–grandchild. She spoke in a very lively tone, “Oh Evan, I had a dream last night. Why don’t you guess just what kind of a dream I had?”

Evan chuckled and replied, “Oh grandma, it must’ve been a really great dream.”

The truth was, he knew exactly what his grandmother dreamed about without even guessing.

As the old lady patted the golden retriever in her arms, a subtle smile could be seen on her loving face as she said, “Exactly. I had an amazing dream. Well, I dreamt that you’ve brought home an adorable looking wife and not to mention, your mother–in–law had even brought a pair of fraternal twins with her!”

It seemed that all the old lady needed to be happy for the entire day was to think about the adorable and chubby little fraternal twins. If only that dream was real. She really wanted to cuddle up with those twins.

Evan frowned immediately after he heard that. It was just as he expected, she was rushing him to get married and have children and this time, she wanted twins. Evan could not help but to applaud his

grandmother’s imagination. He was uncertain if he could even give birth to a pair of twins and yet his grandmother was able to dream about it.

“Wow grandma, your dream sure is amazing alright” Evan replied as he snapped out from his train of thought.

The old lady knew he was brushing her off again as her delightful expression instantly turned into a dispirited look. Her voice sounded slightly shaky as she lamented, “Oh Evan, all I could do is dream. All I wanted is to cuddle up with a pair of twins and in the end, I get nothing. The only way I could cuddle with them is in my dreams. Say, don’t you think my life is quite pitiful as an elderly person?” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Did you know that all of my friends already have great–grandchildren? Did you know how lonely I feel every time I hang out with them? I watch them cuddling up with their great–grandchildren while they have a blast as a family.”

“Oh, it hurts me…thinking about it now makes me want to cry.” The old lady lamented as she started to actually sob.

She intentionally made herself sound extremely depressed.

Evan could no longer keep himself together while he listened to her as he said, “Grandma. If I meet someone I like, I promise to bring her home. The only thing is, the current state of Welton Group isn’t stable and I don’t think I can afford thinking about getting a girlfriend.”

“You keep saying that Welton Group isn’t stable all the time. Does getting a girlfriend have anything to do with you managing Welton Group?” The old lady was furious when Evan brought that up as she exclaimed, “Bring your beloved girlfriend home and I will no doubt treat her well. You don’t have to worry about anything at all.”

“You can work on your career and build the Welton Group’s empire as much as you want and I will help you take care of your girlfriend. I will love her with all my heart and will never allow any harm to come to her, okay?”

Evan was speechless when he heard that. It seemed that he was no match against the old lady.

“I think about it, Grandma. I am in the middle of something right now. I’ll make some time to be with you when I’m done with work.”

Since it was rare for Evan to finally want to get a girlfriend, the old lady stopped pushing him. At least Evan was starting to take things seriously She said, “Alright. As long as you think about it. I’ll wait for it”

“Alright, I know” Evan lamented as it seemed that she had troubled him this time. He squeezed his brows then said, “If there’s nothing else. grandma, 111 hang up now.”

“Alright, bye.” After the old lady hung up the call, she continued her walk with her beloved dog in her garden
