Desires Die Hard Chapter 163

Chapter 163

Zachary and his escort left in their golf cart.

Evan turned around and eyed the woman whom he had been shielding. The look in his eyes darkened.

The sky was bright and the sun shined hotly on them all.

Its blinding light cascading from the skies cast a golden glow on the woman’s beautiful face.

It was akin to a thin golden veil that shimmered as it kissed her cherry pink lips.

Her beauty seemed more radiant under the sunlight.

Evan found himself momentarily lost in her beauty. His eyes were dark and unfathomable like the abyss.

Damnit

The young man cursed inwardly.

He couldn’t believe. He wanted to kiss her again.

He wasn’t going to force a kiss on the woman in broad daylight though. He turned his dark eyes away and murmured softly. “Let’s go. I’ll teach you how to play golf.”

Anya’s head snapped up. Surprise and disbelief rippled across her eyes. The man had gotten her out of a spot earlier. She was grateful for what he had done. But it was an awfully warm day. Why was he trying to force her into playing golf with

him?

She got warm easily and when she got warm, she started sweating buckets. Anya’s mouth opened. A refusal was ready at her lips.

Before she could voice her refusal, Evan was grabbing her wrist and tugging her away as if they were a couple and there was nothing wrong with him dragging her towards the spot where his golf ball had landed.

“I’ll teach you a few tricks. You can take a break after that.”

Anya found herself at a loss for words again.

Evan really enjoyed having his way. He didn’t seem to spare a thought for others at all. Look at him dragging her onto the golf course.

Perhaps he was suffering some form of visual impairment.

He obviously didn’t see the beads of sweat soaking her forehead wet.

Men like him must not have much experience courting women.

It made sense that he didn’t know how to treat a lady well.

Forget it. Anya wasn’t interested in getting involved with the man. It wasn’t any of her business. She decided to steel herself and bear with the man for the rest of the day. After the day was done, she would leave.

She couldn’t stand how bullish the man was.

His thoughtlessness made things worse.

Evan led her to the stretch of the golf course that they had passed earlier. Then, he pulled his fingers away and turned towards the caddle. “Get a golf club for Ms. MacMillan.”

14:00

The caddie nodded before pulling a silver golf club from the golf bag he was carrying and handing the club to Anya.

Anya took the golf club from the caddle. She had no idea where to place herself. She decided to fry her hand at the game and figure things out on her own.

She wasn’t interested in getting any instruction from Evan.

Evan took his place behind Anya without a word. Both looming shadow and towering wall, he circled the young woman. with his arms and placed his hands gently on hers. Then, he tightened his hands, leaned in and dipped his head. His voice was a whisper in her ear. “Remember to put your weight behind your swing. The ball won’t go far unless you do.”

Anya hummed softly and leaned her face away instinctively. She would like to put as much distance between the both of

them.

The man’s aura was overwhelming.

She might pretend that she wasn’t bothered but she couldn’t deny the fact that the man had a strong presence.

She couldn’t simply pretend that he wasn’t there.

She bit her lips and did exactly what Evan had told her.

Her first shot wasn’t that bad..

She didn’t get the ball in the hole though.

However, she had a great swing. Her second shot was markedly better than her first.

After the first two swings, Anya set her club down. “I feel warm, Mr. Welton. I would like to take a break.”

“Do you?” The oblivious man finally realized that Anya was sweating in the heat. His response to her comment was swift. “Let’s go. We should get you back in the shade.”

Anya was speechless.

She had been right. The man had grown used to women falling at his feet and taking care of his every need.

Consideration and reciprocation were beyond him.

Compared to the blazing heat out on the golf course, the lounge was significantly cooler. Anya felt a lot better when she

stepped into the shade. The air conditioning was on full blast and the humidity outdoors was thankfully absent indoors.

Evan led Anya to the VIP lounge where she took a seat and rested.

While they were taking a break, Evan got a call. They had to leave soon.

Anya was ready to go. She couldn’t wait to hurry back to Ellie’s place when she heard Evan tell her that they had to go. Even though he had something to attend to, he still gave her a ride back.

The address that Anya gave him was the same address that she had fabricated the last time.

Anya was ready to dart out of Evan’s car when the man suddenly caught her wrist and leaned towards her. “Won’t you go on another date with me again?”

Anya froze. She wasn’t crazy. Why would she go on a date with him?

She shoved the man away forcefully, then bit her lips. “Mr. Welton, you should respect a woman’s wishes. My wish is to never see you again and I’ll see to that.”

Before Evan could say anything, she fled the car and raced into the building. It was as if she had hellhounds snapping at

her heels.

Evan didn’t seem upset by Anya’s blunt rejection at all.

Instead, he eyed the doors to the apartment building quietly. A ghost of a smile played on his lips.

The lady seemed to have thrown down the gauntlet.
