Chapter 265
âAunt Ellie, Iâm sorry for making you worry.â Carrying the twins, Anya looked apologetically at Ellie who looked like going to cry. Ellie touched her hair gently and said, âAs long as you are safe. I was so worried earlier.â-

âYa. I wonât be so reckless to go back to the MacMillans in future.â With this incident, she would not be going back to the MacMillans that easily. Anya walked to the sofa while still carrying the kids. âAunt Ellie, letâs move out tomorrow, shall we Iâll resign in a few days.â
âThe main concern is that it isnât safe here. Mdm MacMillan came over here before. Iâm afraid she would do something behind our backs.â Anya continued, âIt is better if we move over to Cindyâs apartment sooner. I can then set my mind at ease since her apartment has better security.â
Ellie agreed to what Anya said. âOkay, we will move out tomorrow then. For this house, I will get in a property realtor. If someone wants to see or buy the apartment, we can come back then to settle.â
âSounds good.â Anya ruffled Nathanielâs and Eudoraâs hair. âYou two rascals, have you taken your bath yet?â
Nathaniel shook his head and mumbled, âWait for mama.â Eudora couldnât speak yet, so she only made sounds. Nathaniel looked at Eudora and pouted as he did not kno what his sister was saying either. Like a little adult, he raised his hand to pat Eudora on the head and said, âDora⦠Doraâ¦â Eudora smiled at Nathaniel as he patted her on her head.
Anya smiled while seeing the cute interaction between her kids. She felt comforted, warm at heart. Indeed, family was like a cozy shelter. She extended her arms out to embrace them tightly. She asked gently, âKids, let us take a bath now, ya? Tomorrow we will be staying in a new place.â
Anya and Ellie each carried a toddler and made their way to the bathroom.
While Anya was filling up the bathtub, Ellie, who was carrying Nathaniel, said, âAnya, Evan came over earlier. That was when I knew you went missingâ
âIâm aware. I was rescued by him.â Anya tested the water in the tub as she said, âI owe him yet another favor again.â
âWhat should we do?â Ellie also did not like the idea of owing favors, especially towards a man like Evan.
âIâm planning to treat him to a meal.â That was probably the only way she could repay her gratitude towards him. Any other things were out of the question.
âSounds feasible. Probably a good idea to do it earlier if you can.â Ellie was grateful to Even who protected Anya. But taking into consideration that Evan wanted to do a DNA test with the kids, she thought it would be better to keep a distance from
him.
âYes, that is my plan too.â Anya withdrew her hand from the tub and started to undress Nathaniel and Eudora for bath time.
During their bath, the two kids started to play with bubbles. Anya could not escape getting bubbles all over her. It was painful for her with the injuries on her hand, and her wounds would take longer to heal if they were constantly in soapy water. She decided to ask Ellie to continue bathing them while she sat on one side to watch them play.
A message popped up as she watched them play. It was from Evan. âHome yet?â
Anya unlocked her phone and replied, âMr. Welton, I am home. Thank you again for today.â

Evan was not waiting for her words of gratitude. âIf you face any trouble in future, let me know and I will help
His reply sounded persuasive. It made Anya feel fuzzy inside again. âThanks, Mr. Welton.â
Evan replied, âYou know what I want from you is not just thanks.â
Of course, Anya knew but she could not reciprocate. She bit her lips and replied, âMr. Welton, Iâll treat you for a meal someday.â
Evan looked at her reply and scoffed. This woman was really trying to challenge his patience. He pondered for a while and replied, âOkay. Make that tomorrow then.â
He did not want to dine in restaurants, actually. His intention was for Anya to come over to his apartment to prepare a homecooked meal for him.
Clueless that Evan wanted some alone time with her again, she thought he merely agreed to have a meal together and she felt relieved. âOkay.â
