SWNOVELS Chapter 188
Chapter 188
It didn't matter how awkward the atmosphere was. They had to get through dinner somehow.
Anya needed Jamie's help and the man had agreed to help her. She couldn't get up and leave him to have dinner alone. Anya shoved aside her feelings of awkwardness and started browsing the menu before placing her order.
Jamie filled his glass with red wine. He studied Anya quietly as he swirled the wine in his hand.
He had met countless beautiful people in his line of profession.
Yet, few had been as breathtakingly beautiful as Anya was.
She caught his breath instantly. He had been seized by the impulse to have her as soon as his eyes landed on the woman.
It had been some time since Jamie had met a woman as attractive as Anya.
The man quietly admired Anya's beauty. Meanwhile, Anya had no idea that she was the object of the man's appreciative
gaze.
She placed her orders and handed the menu back to Jamie.
"I'm done."
Jamie had heard her while she placed her order. "Is that enough? Don't hold back. Order whatever you like."
Anya smiled and shook her head. She wasn't hungry. Besides, she honestly thought she had ordered enough for herself. "That's enough. I won't be able to finish everything if we get more. That would be a waste."
"Alright then." The man didn't insist. He dipped his head slightly as he studied the menu and began to place his own orders.
Anya grabbed the glass of water next to her and took a sip. Her eyes slid to the side as she threw a furtive glance at the man at the next table. He was still staring at her.
Her heart skipped a beat.
She shouldn't be bothered by his stares. As long as Evan stayed at his table and didn't cause her any trouble, she shouldn't be bothered by his presence or pay any attention to the man at all.
The young woman looked away immediately and took another sip of water.
It didn't take long before Jamie was done with his orders.
They started discussing the lawsuit. The conversation went on smoothly.
The fact that Anya seemed to enjoy her conversation with Jamie clearly displeased the man seated at the table next to
theirs.
A visible look of displeasure showed clearly on Evan's face.
Honestly, Evan was aware that he wasn't in love with Anya. His desire for the woman stemmed from primal male instincts. He simply wished to possess her.

But he couldn't help but feel something grow taut inside him as he watched Anya chat happily with Jamie. He could feel something on the brink of snapping.
Evan stared at the scene before him for a long moment. He realized that he had to kill whatever emotions went beyond the possessiveness in him. He had to get rid of anything that could lead him to have feelings for Anya.
He wanted her for sex.
That was it.
He didn't care if Anya was dating another man. Even if she were, he had his ways of separating them.
After another look, Evan rose to his feet and started walking away.
He called Hayden as he stepped out of the restaurant. He needed to know who the guy Anya was dating was.
The man looked familiar.
But somehow, he couldn't put a name to that face.
Within ten minutes, Hayden managed to learn the name of the man Anya was having dinner with.
He was a lawyer working at Arrowhead Quarry Law Firm and one of the partners of the firm, Jamie Granger.
Evan had a name to the face now.
He knew the man. Jamie was famous in the legal circle for being an extremely
competent lawyer.
But he was just a lawyer.
Evan was confident that he could make Anya yield to him eventually. Now...he was going to pay a visit to Eudora and
Nathaniel.
Meanwhile, at the other end of the city, where the MacMillan estate was located.

She still felt awful though.
She couldn't stop thinking about how Anya had thrown water at her.
The thought of that sent daggers of pain through the old lady's heart.
She had not expected Anya to have grown so bold. The young woman seemed
to think that she could get away with anything.

He was right. The old lady started
yelling at Cornelius as soon as she sat down on the couch. Cornelius held his silence patiently and waited for his mother to finally tire of scolding him. Then, he finally spoke. "Mom, Anya's been driven out of the MacMillans family. She's no longer part of our family. Let's leave her alone." The content is on Novelxo.org! Read the latest chapter there!
He had little love for Anya. But she was still his daughter,
They should leave her alone since she was no longer part of the family. They shouldn't go too far.
