Desires Die Hard (Anya and Evan) by Beryl Occam
Chapter 899

I Won't Get Jealous If I Don't Love You

"Really? Why do you want to hide Gracie here?" Anya was confused.

Evan continued, "When I was young, Ralph has sent me to a mercenary organization in Fenteon, where I met Gracie's brother. Later on, he shot the leader of one organization to save me when we were on our mission.

"Later, not long after we returned to the military base, that organization arranged for some killer to sneak into it and killed him. Additionally, that organization searched for his family, and they were bound to kill all his family to avenge their leader's death.

"Gracie was only sixteen when her brother died. I didn't want those people to bully her, so I ordered my people to hide her there.

"If she could stay here forever, she would be safe and sound."

However, if Gracie insisted on going outside, Evan couldn't protect Gracie all the time.

"Now, that's all I wanted to say. Can you stop get jealous?" Evan sighed slightly.

Anya nodded, and she admitted she had been wrong. She thought, Although Gracie loved Evan, it's not a big deal since Evan doesn't like her.

And now, I understand his past.

I shouldn't get mad at Gracie because her brother has saved Evan.

"Honey, will she have to stay here in her lifetime?" Anya wasn't angry but sympathetic towards Gracie.

Evan nodded. "Yes, currently. She will be safe here because no one would kill her here."

"Have you ever planned to send her abroad and change her identity?" Anya asked. She thought it would squander Gracie's lifetime there if she stayed there forever.

"It's not what you thought. You don't understand that organization," Evan said downheartedly. The past cruel situations they had experienced after joining that organization flashed to Evan's mind. He continued, "That organization is much more formidable than you think."

"They would replace Gracie as long she went to the public," Evan replied, and he also didn't want to confide Gracie on the island.

Evan would let Gracie stay here rather than let her risk her life.

He could at least protect Gracie on the island. That was all he could do to repay her brother.

After that, Anya suddenly held Evan's hand, saying, "Honey, what about going to the beach to enjoy the campfire party together?"

"Aren't you angry, my green-eyed monster?" Evan bantered with Anya as Anya got calm.

Hearing those words, Anya immediately rolled her eyes, snorting, "What's wrong? It means I don't love you if I don't get jealous.

"And I would care about it even if one hundred women flirted with you at that time."

Evan got speechless right away.

But soon, he held Anya's cheek and lowered his head to kiss her.

How tender Evan was at that moment.

After all, Anya wasn't angry at all, and she held Evan's hand to walk to the campfire party.

The sea waves were saturated in the moonlight, and the flame was glistening in the distance. Gracie was in her traditional costume, and she was around the campfire barefoot on the fine-soft-sand beach.

Then Gracie started to dance to the music.

Dan, Hayden, and others were peacefully watching Gracie perform.

Seeing Anya and Evan walking hand in hand towards the party, Dan quickly saved a space for them.

After Evan sat down, Dan asked, "Is Gracie your comrade's sister?"

Evan nodded. "Yes."

Dan immediately understood why Anya had got angry, and he believed that she must have got jealous of Gracie.

Then Dan turned his gaze to Gracie. After a while, he subconsciously turned to gaze at Judy, who was reading the messages on her cellphone.

Judy looked charming in the light of the campfire.

Dan went into his trance as he gazed at Judy.

It wasn't until Judy realized something was staring at her and lifted her head that Dan looked away, pretending nothing had happened.
