Desires Die Hard Chapter 126

Chapter 126

Both Anya and Cindy were on their way to Anya’s aunt’s apartment.

The children had just woken up as they rubbed their little eyes before waddling out of the room in their bare little feet. Anya’s aunt was getting ready to freshen them up.

“Hey grandma, where’s mommy?” Nathaniel asked in a childish voice while grabbing his sister’s little hand as they approached Anya’s aunt,

It seemed that he was able to say a couple of sentences. He was obviously not as clear as the other two year old children in terms of pronouncing words. However, he could be be considered as being quite good at it already. As long as everyone else was able to understand him.

Anya’s aunt handed the siblings their toothbrush that had toothpaste already applied to both as she patted their little heads and said, “Your mother is working overtime, she’ll come home later tonight, okay?”

Although Nathaniel heard her say that their mother would return home later that night again, he wondered why their mother did not return home last night. He was unhappy and his expressions immediately morphed into a bitter and sad look.

When Eudora heard that their mother would be returning home later at night again, she too had a sad expression like her brother’s. It almost seemed like she was about to cry.

Anya’s aunt could not do a thing about it, so she continued to comfort the children, “Be good kids now. Your mother needs to go to work and it’s only with work can she make money to bring all of us to theme parks and buy your favorite Peppa Pig toy, right?”

Eudora calmed down a little when Peppa Pig was mentioned as she grabbed Anya’s aunt’s arm with her chubby little hands before muttering incoherent noises as if she wanted to say something.

She wanted Peppa Pig.

“Oh, good girl Eudora, so your mother has to go to work to make money in order to buy you a Peppa Pig toy. Go ahead and brush your teeth now, okay?” Anya’s aunt explained as she caressed Eudora soft little cheeks.

Eudora nodded obediently.

Nathaniel on the other hand would not be bribed by a mere Peppa Pig toy since he was different from children his age. He wanted his mother to play with him.

“I only want mommy, grandma.” Nathaniel replied as she refused to brush his teeth.

“Please be a good child, okay? Your mother can only return home at night.” Anya’s mother comforted him patiently.

Since Nathaniel was a much brighter child compared to other children, he was more attached to his mother compared to other children.

“I know you guys miss your mother but your mother needs to make money. It’s only when she makes money can she buy you milk powder and plenty of little toy cars, okay?”

“You’re a man, Nathaniel and you need to take care of me, your mother and your sister. You can’t behave like this, okay?” Anya’s aunt continued to comfort him.

Nathaniel listened patiently and seemed to be convinced. He nodded obediently and went ahead to brush his teeth with his

sister.

The living room’s door was suddenly unlocked.

Anya’s aunt immediately stood up and glanced at the door as she wondered who would play with her door this early in the

morning.

‘It won’t be a thief right?

‘No thief would steal stuff this early in the morning, right?”

‘Who could that be then?”

Without even thinking, Anya’s aunt shoved the children into the washroom before picking up a broom and slowly approached the door.

A click could be heard.

The door was finally opened.

When Anya’s aunt raised the broom, she could hear Anya’s voice saying, “Aunty, I’m home.”

When Anya’s aunt heard her voice, she immediately put the broom down before tapping her chest and saying, “Why don’t you inform me when you’re coming home? I actually thought it was a thief!”

“I’m sorry aunty. I came home with Cindy and I forgot to tell you.” Anya apologized as she bashfully pulled Cindy. The duo then changed into their slippers from the shoe rack.

When Anya’s aunt noticed Cindy whom she had not seen for years, she immediately smiled and said, “Oh my, it’s been so long, Cindy. You’ve grown prettier.”

Cindy smiled and replied, “Thank you, aunty.”
